There seems to some confusion on the requirement of the Group Project.
I have pasted below the relevant paras taken from the Course Outline for information.
Please pass this to the Group Leaders in particular and the class in general.
The submission date has been extended to Mon 27 Aug 1200 hrs.
Needless to say I expect very high standards for the Competition.

(D) Group Project: International Relations & Country Risk Analysis
A very large diversified Indian MNC, Hindustan Industries Corp, HIC, having varied interests is seeking international opportunities. The Board would like suggestions on possible destinations overseas.
Your Group, a strategic ‘political risk’ think tank, has been appointed to examine the international relations- political, diplomatic, economic, and military- between India and the target country and deduce its effects on the conduct of business in that country. Suggest measures which could further improve these relations. These would be put up to the concerned ministries of the government and to industry forums like the CII to influence government policy.
Requirement
Prepare an in-depth report with an overview of the selected region / country and on its international relations with India. Thereafter, carry out a political risk analysis providing an insight into the country’s political, economic, social, technological, legal and business environment including competitiveness, laws and attitude towards foreign investment, demographics and markets, and such other environmental factors.
Include the role of industry / trade bodies like CII & FICCI in that country, and the presence of PIOs & NRIs in local businesses that could possibly open a favourable window for entry.
Your Report is to be directed at the Board of HIC recommending strategies and outlining current and future operational measures that need to be adopted for a successful business plan. The Board should be able to clearly discern the existing relations between India and the country; and with the environmental & risk factors, investment trends, the competition, critical factors for success, etc, make go-no go decisions.
