Managing risk in an unstable world case studySriniwas Gutti
Â
1) The document discusses the importance of assessing political risk alongside economic risk when making investment decisions in emerging markets, as politics can significantly impact financial outcomes.
2) It provides examples where political risk analysis proved more accurate than economic analysis alone in forecasting events like Russia's 1998 financial crisis and the impact of Brazil's 2002 presidential election.
3) Assessing political risk requires understanding a country's stability factors like governance, society, security and economic stability over time, as well as how vulnerable the country may be to different types of internal and external shocks.
The document discusses markets and outlooks for various Asian solvents including isopropyl alcohol (IPA), methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), and acetone. Producers aim to raise IPA and MEK prices but weak demand is hampering efforts. Reduced operating rates are seen in the region for IPA and MEK. South Korea remains a key import market for MEK in Asia. Modest growth of less than 5% is expected in coatings sectors in coming years. New capacities for MEK and ethyl acetate are planned to come online through 2009 and 2010.

Â
This document summarizes polymer market conditions in the Middle East and Asia in 2009.

Country risk analysis involves assessing the potential risks and rewards of doing business in a country. Country risk represents the potentially adverse impact of a country's environment on a firm's cash flows. Country risk analysis can be used to monitor risk in countries where a firm operates, screen countries to avoid excessive risk, and improve long-term investment and financing decisions. Key factors in country risk analysis include political, financial, economic, and other country-specific conditions. Firms use various quantitative and qualitative techniques to evaluate and compare country risks.

Political risk refers to actions by foreign governments that can negatively impact investments. This includes war, government seizures of property, restrictions on moving profits out of the country, contract repudiation, currency inconvertibility, discriminatory taxation, embargoes, expropriation of property, and nationalization. Companies can purchase various types of political risk insurance to mitigate these risks when investing abroad. Risk management strategies also include diversifying investments across several countries, negotiating protection clauses in contracts, and pursuing bilateral investment agreements between the home and host countries.
This chapter discusses country risk analysis for multinational corporations. It identifies political and financial risk factors that MNCs consider when evaluating country risk. Techniques for assessing country risk include checklist approaches, the Delphi method, and quantitative analysis. Country risk ratings influence MNC decisions about new investments, monitoring existing operations, and strategies to reduce government takeover exposure in host countries.

Rand Fishkin discusses why content marketing often fails and provides 5 key reasons: 1) Unrealistic expectations of how content marketing works, 2) Creating content without a community to amplify it, 3) Focusing on content creation but not amplification, 4) Ignoring search engine optimization, and 5) Giving up too soon and not allowing time for content to gain traction. He emphasizes that content marketing is a long-term process of building relationships and that most successful content took years of iteration before gaining significant reach.
