This is the brief and all the information about the assignment which is mention below
As stated in the assignment brief, the assessment requires you to discuss the rise of MNEs from emerging markets, the advantages they enjoy, the challenges they encounter and the rationale behind their choices of markets and entry modes, and to apply your understanding to a specific company (the company allocated to you in the table) utilising the theoretical knowledge you developed for this assignment. You need to apply your research skills to find information and literature on the allocated company. Please note that you may find relevant information by searching for MNEs from the company’s home market as they are likely to share similar characteristics and background with your allocated case. You then need to utilise your critical thinking skills to apply the theoretical knowledge you developed already to the case.
