A regional bank has decided to open an office overseas for serving those businesses that are expanding internationally. Choose a country with a large financial center that you believe would be helpful to your customer base.

• Will your presence in this country be helpful in your attempts to invest in other developing countries?
• Is this country involved in any regional integration efforts? How so?
• Why did you choose this location for your bank?
• As a manager, what would be your overall assessment about whether you want to pursue opening an office there?
  • Are the financial risks worth taking?
  • Will it be beneficial to all of the stakeholders?

In pursuing this, what type of presence do you think would be best suited to your objectives?

• How should the plant be financed?
• Keep in mind that the country that the plant is in does not necessarily have to be where the financing is done.
• What is your final decision on the financial center you chose to work with? Write about the logic and reasoning for your decision?
