Questiоns 19, 20 аnd 21 refer tо the scenаriо below: Consider the hypotheticаl case of a US-based firm looking to expand globally with its highly popular and novel health monitoring and medical alert devices. The firm is evaluating the feasibility of entering one of two countries, “A” or “B”, for locating a foreign direct investment (FDI). Both countries are characterized by low labor costs, good access to world markets, are roughly the same size (in terms of population) and are currently at a similar stage of economic development with comparably sized middle-class populations. They both have a moderately well-developed educational system with comparable size education levels among their middle class populations In country “A” the middle-class population that is educated is also proficient in English. The society is characterized by a marked stratification and rigidity between the different classes. The dominant religion in this country stresses the importance of reincarnation and acceptance of one’s state in life, and there are also many major linguistic groups across the population. The median population age in country A is 30 years. In country “B” there is a lack of social stratification and group identification is a value that is stressed by the culture. The dominant religion stresses the virtue of hard work and there is one major Asian language with which everyone is familiar. English, however, is not as widely spoken in this country even among the educated population. The median population age in country B is 40 years.
