Essay Instructions: Choose one of the countries listed below

The primary objective of the course wrap-up project is to develop a brief executive level analysis of macroeconomic business conditions in a selected country from one of 4 regions of the global economy. The project is an extension of the Case Study and will involve the newly renamed Blakleyovich Enterprises, International Purveyors of Fine Chalk. However, it will involve analyzing business conditions in a foreign economy. Specifically, project teams representing the Corporate Economics Department will develop an executive summary report and presentation on current and expected levels of GDP growth, short term interest rates, unemployment, foreign exchange (US dollar denominated) and inflation, with explicit consideration of the current turmoil in the global markets.

The memo is to be addressed to the newly appointed President Ms. Blakleyovich, who has been forced by current U.S. domestic macro-business conditions to consider expanding BE operations by exporting to some (but not all) of the following economic regions: South East Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe and the European Union. The former President has been dismissed and his strategy of importing chalk has been revoked (i.e., domestic production has been resumed.)

Your team?s first step is to identify which country (and no other) from your assigned region that you have selected for your analysis. (Brief mention should be made in your memo as to the rationale used in selecting this country over the others.) She is interested in expected macroeconomic business conditions in the next 12 to 18 months, with special consideration given to the potential direct or indirect impact on the economy selected for analysis of fallout from the recent global financial crisis and, of course, your recommendation . Note it does not necessarily follow that you will recommend BE expansion in this economy just because it was chosen ?best-of-bunch.?

While, as before, chalk sales are sensitive to domestic GDP (in particular, consumer spending, government expenditures and investment), expected consumer price inflation is also important to the extent it may impact domestic monetary policy and/or distribution (e.g. fuel/transport) costs. Of course, movements in the local currency relative to the dollar will directly impact BE prices and profit margins. It important you recommend which currency to denominate the fixed price contract in regardless of your recommendation. Of course and needless to say, the Board at BE may override your recommendation ? either way.

As with the case study, please use a Times font of 12 points with 1.5 or double spacing. Locate footnotes (2 or 3) to current relevant references ? with complete background information ? at the bottom of the page. It is expected your research will rely greatly on The Economist Intelligence Unit database available in the Gleeson Library with the most recent information provided from other sources. The report itself will not simply summarize the EIU, or any other economic projections put forth by others, but will be an independent endeavor by the BE Corporate Economics Department based on a comprehensive up-to-date rendering of relevant facts and issues analyzed within the modeling framework developed in class.

Each group well develop a 2 page executive summary (with references to your PP slides only) of your analysis of macroeconomic business conditions of the selected economy (GDP growth, unemployment rate, short term government interest rates, CPI inflation and the relevant foreign exchange rate vs. the U.S. dollar) most likely within the next 12-18 months. This assessment will include why this particular country was choosen, your recommendation on whether to develop BE exporting capabilities in this economy, and what currency to denominate the contract in if the country is ultimately selected (regardless of your recommendation). Please turn in hard-copy of PP slides with executive summary.
