Teams of students will work on the group project. Each team will select a country and the teams will assume the role of trade ambassadors for their assigned countries. Their main objective is to encourage Canadian investment in their countries with the goal of growing the amount invested to hundreds of millions-even billions - of dollars in the medium to longterm. The stakeholders to whom the teams' presentations should be directed are: the Canadian investment and banking communities including mutual and pension fund managers, investment analysts as well as opinion leaders and facilitators including the financial media and the Canadian government. Teams should keep in mind that their presentations will be competing with those of all other countries seeking investment from Canada.

1-Country Overview-key statistics including population and demographic trends including immigration and emigration levels, historical and projected economic performance including GDP/capita, debt/capita, literacy, poverty rate, minimum wage, currency valuation, physical environment andthe implications of these onthe country's attractiveness as an investment candidate. Paint a rich picture of what it is like to live in the country.

2-Cultural, political, legal and regulatory environment including any significant risks that these represent as well asthe implications of these on the country'sattractiveness as an investment candidate.

3-Major industries including prime investment candidates.

4-Who are the country's main competitors and how is it positioned relative to thesemain competitors?

5- What are strengths and weaknesses of the country as an investment candidate? How does corruption manifest itself and how should it be dealt with? For example, if bribing government officials is expected in order to do business in a particular country, how should potential Canadian investors factor this into their evaluations of the country as an investment candidate? What ethical issues should be considered before investing in the country?
