Asia still offers great opportunities for multinational firms. However, given the slowdown that has occurred in this region in recent years, there are also great risks associated with doing business there. The large Finnish-based MNC, Nokia, has determined that the opportunities are worth the risk and has staked a large claim in China and is determined to be a major player in the emerging Asian market. Visit its website at www.nokia.com and focus your attention on what this well-known MNC is now doing in Asia. Drawing from specific information obtained from the website, and your reading of the current news, answer these questions: What political risk does Nokia face in Asia, particularly China? How can Nokia manage these risks? How can effective international negotiating skills (lobbying) be of value to the firm in reducing its political risk and increasing its competitive advantage in this area of the world?

PLEASE GIVE A NEW ANSWER. THANKS
