Discussion Questions
55
Discussion Question 1Discussion Question 1
This chapter discussed several key issues that affect nonlife insurance operations on a global basis. How do these issues interact with each other and how could they affect the way that corporations manage their risks?
56
Discussion Question 2Discussion Question 2
Compare the nonlife liability insurance markets in developed countries and developing countries with respect to the following:
Types of insurance products
Growth rates
Regulatory environments
57
Discussion Question 3Discussion Question 3
Distribution systems are a key component of any nonlife insurance market.
Compare the distribution systems used in two countries of your choice or in the U.S. with those of Japan.
In your opinion, will nonlife insurance be transacted using the “information highway”?
58
Discussion Question 4Discussion Question 4
Privatization and deregulation are “mega-trends” in many of the nonlife insurance markets in the developing world. Discuss the challenges facing insurance executives of established domestic insurers in those markets.
