You will be expected to research and present a coherent report for an existing UK based Multinational Enterprise (MNE) of your choice (preferably the same company chosen for your mid-term assessment). The corporation, which must be listed on the London Stock Exchange, wishes to set up a new company or a subsidiary in one of the countries in your mid-term presentation (again, preferably the same country). This assignment is designed for you to build on and expand your research into the company, country and industry you have chosen for your mid-term assessment. Therefore, your report is expected to demonstrate progression in your research and findings into the chosen MNE, country and industry. The report should critically evaluate and discuss: 1. The firm’s exposure to foreign exchange risks and their management; 2. The signals that specific Balance of Payment data can provide; 3. The differences in Corporate Governance between the UK and the chosen Country; and 4. The additional sources of finance available to the firm in the international capital market. You are particularly encouraged to develop in depth international investment analysis based on your chosen MNE, industry and country that you have identified through the individual presentation for your midterm assignment. Your report should also identify opportunities and risks that the MNE may face when operating in an international environment, and find relevant tools and solutions for minimising such risks.Marking Rubric You will be assessed on: (i) Introduction 5% (ii) The firm’s exposure to foreign exchange risks and their management 25% (iii) The signals that specific Balance of Payment data can provide 10% (iv) The differences in Corporate Governance between the UK and the chosen Country 20% (v) The additional sources of finance available to the firm in the international capital market 20% (vi) Conclusion and recommendation 10% (vii) Sources and referencing 5% (viii) Professional writing style and layout 5% Total 100% References Dignam, A., & Lowry, J.
