EMERGING MARKETS

What is happening with the Chinese economy in recent times and how is this likely to affect business prospects around the world?  

CLICK HERE to this article from the New York Times on potential problems with the Chinese economy.

SUGGESTIONS :

- Students to read article and to make separate list of positive aspects of economic growth and business opportunities in China, together with evidence of falling growth and business threats.

- Use article as a springboard to find out more about the recent state of the Chinese economy - and whether or not it still represents a good place for non-Chinese firms to trade, in terms of FDI and as a place to seek Joint Ventures with Chinese firms based in the country.  (Presentation to the class on this?)
