Scenario: Economic Risk and Foreign Investment
Economic Risk, according to Hill (2014), refers to "The likelihood that economic mismanagement will cause drastic changes in a country's business environment that hurt the profit and other goals of a particular business enterprise.". Ravi and Keith recently were contacted by a friend close to the Jordanian Royal Family about the possibility of acquiring a small Jordanian-owned bottling company located in Lebanon to manufacture Expand the brand in the Middle East. This firm is available due to the death of its principal shareholder, a Jordanian citizen. It is sound financially and enjoys strong customer support within the Kingdom of Jordan and is growing in sales within Lebanon. As a person of Iranian descent, Ravi would like to contribute to jobs creation and financial stability to that region of the world but expressed his concern about making any acquisition in that region because of the instability in the area and poor political leadership in many of the neighboring nations.
