Assignment Problem: Explain about how you would develop a business around imports from Angola to Canada. It consists of two sections that describe a different aspect of that country's economy and politics. These matters are all relevant in any decision to do business in another country.
Q1. The Political Environment
How is the exporting country (Angola) governed? What are the most powerful political movements and parties? What political problems and conflicts in the country? How might those conflicts benefit or harm your importing business? What environmental issues in the exporting country may cause you problems?
Q2. Reliability
What problems of corruption exist in your exporting country (Angola)? What dangers could such corruption cause for your business? If your exporting country is not especially corrupt, describe what other difficulties local government or business groups may still cause your business?
Tips: Transparency International is a non-governmental organization which tracks reports of state corruption and compiles a regular report, the Corruption Perception Index. This is an excellent source of information. Find other non-governmental organizations, including those associated with the United Nations that can provide trustworthy economic and political information.
