Overview
The economies of Brazil, Russia, India, China and latterly South Africa are amongst the high growth countries of the world. Yet doing business in these nations has its considerable challenges due to the economic, political, social and business environment.
In this seminar we will give consideration to these issues and look to see how organisations overcome them.
We will focus on answering:
● What indicators might companies monitor to guide their investments and actions in these countries?
● What are the implications of the emergence of the BRICs for careers and companies in your country?
● Consider doing business and its challenges in the BRICs
● Identify some of the key FDI trends that are taking place in the BRICS (inflows and outflows)

Consider the principles of supply and demand

An opportunity and threat for business?
• Presents ability to reach untapped markets for growth
• Provides investment opportunities (Direct & Indirect)
• Sources of new capabilities/resources and insights (global cross-fertilization)
• Source of cheaper labour leading to a more efficient supply chain
• Increased sources of investment & funding i.e. BRIC companies investing in developed market companies
• Ability to produce goods and services cheaper
• Increased competition
• New innovations entering developed markets
• Risk of leap-frogging due to proximity to fast moving economies
Opportunity Threat

Impact on careers? Increased opportunities increased competition
• Globalisation enables free flow of personnel
• MNE organisations enable internal transfers
• Doing business abroad easier i.e. gain more exposure and knowledge
• Increased competition for a consolidating world
• Outsourced model threatens job security
• Low wage countries cause a threat to jobs in developed countries
Opportunity Competition
