All questions are equally weighted (50 marks and 1000 words for each question) The total word count is 2000 words (+/- 10%); equally distributed among all the questions, i.e., 1000 words

for each question. Where the question has a sub-part, the division of marks and words is equal. The limits as stated include quotations in the text, but do not include the title page, bibliography, footnotes/endnotes, appendices, abstracts, maps, illustrations, transcriptions of linguistic data, or tabulations of numerical or linguistic data and their captions. Referencing is required and should follow the APA citation style. Followed by details of materials that can be accessed during examination (if appropriate), e.g.: Examination handout: Table of Physical Constants Question 1 You are the head of the international business division of a large and successful American automotive multinational. The company specializes in the production of cars- both traditional and electric. The CEO of your company informs you that the top management is considering a market-seeking foreign direct investment (FDI) in India. You are asked to (a) assess the opportunities and challenges that the formal and informal institutions in India could present to the company over the next five years (i.e., 2024-2028); and (b) identify the changes that the company needs to make in its products (cars) and services (pre- and after-sales services) to be successful in the Indian market. Question 2 It is a common business practice for multinationals in developed countries to relocate labour-intensive production to low-cost emerging economies. While this type of foreign direct investment (FDI) promotes economic growth and improves employment opportunities and living standards, it can also be associated with the exploitation of workers and environmental degradation in the host countries (i.e., emerging markets). In addition, the relocation of production from developed markets can have a negative impact on employment and investment in the home country. Critically debate how you would defend your arguments for and against this type of FDI if you are (1) the CEO of a developed country MNE that is moving production to a low-cost emerging market; (2) the leader of the labour union in the home country of the MNE that has cut many jobs because of the production move; and (3) the leader of an environmental NGO in the low-cost emerging market where MNE has invested.
