Анотация:
The aim of this course is to put into practice the skills and knowledge acquired by students during their studies in International Business Development Master Programme. This written assignment is the first step in developing a comprehensive strategy for entering a new market, namely, economic research and identification of potential markets / investment goals.
Students should focus on a certain emerging or developing economy. Its institutional, investment and business environment should be analyzed; trends in its development and major structural and conjunctural problems. By studying in detail the performance of the chosen economy, students will be able to identify opportunities and threats in entering this market and starting business operations in this economy. The analysis of the selected economy should focus mainly on the international and macroeconomic level. Certain sectoral characteristics (problems, growth and potential at sectoral or product level) should only be mentioned and analysed if this information is needed to outline the general economic and political situation in the economy, its profile and performance.
