Comparative Analysis on Country Risks and Opportunities Compare and contrast two countries from two different regions in terms of the advantages and risks they present for a firm’s market entry.

The report on country comparisons is based on
assessing various risks: cross-cultural, financial/currency, country (political, legal, government intervention etc.) commercial risks (competitiveness, partner selection, timing of entry,
operational issues, strategy execution issues etc) to evaluate attractive options for entry (i.e. options which are consistent with achieving competitive advantage).

Comparative Analysis on Country Risks and Opportunities and Factors for Consideration

Consider the following factors which are considered highly relevant to country attractiveness
and assessment of risk to international business entry and operations: Macro-level political
and social context, macro-level openness of the economy, product markets, labour markets
and capital markets. In your analysis, focus on how culture and institutional frameworks of the
countries affect ethics, CSR, sustainability, and responsible international strategy and
management practices. Analyze country-specific characteristics and factors which are not
reflected in traditional indicators/measurements. Map each country’s institutional context to
explore any institutional voids.

Comparative Analysis on Country Risks and Opportunities Conclusion

In your conclusion, based on the findings of your analysis, state which country/market is the more attractive entry option.
The report should be in the style of a business report with a clear executive summary, introduction, discussion sections, recommendations and a conclusion (plus any appropriately cited references and appendices which are not counted as part of the overall assessment word count).
