SUMMATIVE ASSIGNMENT

 

 

Assume that you are employed by Vertex-Speed Ltd, a fast growing car

manufacturer based in County Durham, UK. Vertex-Speed has been exporting

“Vertex-Gamma”, a prestigious executive car, to Malaysia and Brazil for the last 10

years. The company is considering establishing a subsidiary to produce similar

quality cars either in Malaysia or in Brazil. The subsidiary is expected to sell its

products in the host country as well as in the neighbouring countries of the host. The

Managing Director of Vertex-Speed is aware that you have recently completed an

MBA from Durham Business School with an in-depth knowledge in international

financial management. Therefore, she approaches you for your advice. You are

required to prepare a report comparing the risk factors that Vertex-Speed may

encounter in these countries and suggest the best alternative. In your report you

should also include the measures that Vertex-Speed should take in managing the

risk associated with the suggested host country.
