case using IB concepts and theories.
Group case analysis brief presentation #1: this assignment requires the team to analyze two
areas: 1) the opportunities and challenges of doing business in Asia Pacific and 2) the reasons
for the firm business expansion in the region
1) the opportunities and challenges of doing business in Asia Pacific
The team needs to take the perspective of the focal firm and analyze the business
opportunities and challenges of a market that the MNE has expanded into, as presented in the
case. It is required that the team search for relevant and updated market information to
provide strong support for what has been presented as market opportunities and challenges of
doing business in the case. While multiple markets can be discussed in the case, the firm only
needs to choose a key market for its analysis.
2) Drivers of firm internationalization
The team needs to examine why the MNE chose the market in the region to expand to. The
analysis should discuss the firm specific advantages and market opportunities. Reasons for
their market expansion can be either market-seeking behavior or resource-seeking behavior.
