Module 8 Assignment 1

Use the Internet to research a domestic company that is currently doing business internationally. Identify a country in which the company is not doing business. Drawing on what you have learned from this course, write a proposal suggesting whether or not the firm should enter the country you have identified. Your proposal should address investment prospecting process, investment strategies, financing options, cost of capital evaluation, cash management, and risk management strategies.

Compile your findings in a proposal of five to seven pages, as a Microsoft Word document, double-spaced, in Arial 12 pt. font

Your presentation should highlight the benefits of expanding into the selected country and your key concerns.
