4b.The next article, “Their oyster, with grit included”, discuses cross border deals that India is involved in. Most Indian firms are aspiring to be multinationals, and succeeding. Some of the way these firms are achieving this is through vertical integration, acquisition and using a Greenfield approach. This is successful because Indian workers are already used to a very diverse workforce. Another approach that is gaining success is firms being pocket multinationals meaning that acquire small businesses abroad and use those small businesses to maintain a presence. A benefit of being a pocket multinational is having access to new technology, products and markets but merging to different very cultures of two different firms is always a challenge.

Due to the vast size of MNCs, it is common for an investor to purchase a section of an overseas MNC as they may wish to expand their own company and branch out (OECD 2008). However, it is also common for the MNC itself to participate in FDI by investing in an overseas company, as again they may wish to expand the size of their corporation and increase their scope and tenancy (OECD 2008).

As shown in the Figure 1, the UAE has jumped to the 11th position in 2014 against the 13th in 2013 and the 15th in 2012. The United Arab Emirates reported a $9.6 billion inflow of FDI in 2012, up from $7.7 billion the year before. (A.T. Kearney Foreign Direct Investment Confidence Index, 2014. p. 20).

After long consideration from our management team, we have decided to introduce a contingent set of initiatives corresponding to “Foreign Direct Investment” in Ethiopia. There has been a considerable rise of FDI opportunities recently within Ethiopia. The following document will discuss; cultural, political, as well as economic trends and patterns that influenced our outlook on FDI into Ethiopia. Moreover, this memo will analyze the potential risks and or barriers to entry, foreign firms could encounter when attempting FDI to Ethiopia. Lastly, our team will aim to outline a proposed plan relating to FDI in Ethiopia for our organizational business partners. There were many sources of information which influenced our “Foreign Direct Investment” conclusion for Ethiopia such as; research on cultural, political, and economic factors ongoing currently in Ethiopia. Additionally, our group is a combination of “Foreign Direct Investment” specialists including two Ethiopian counterparts residing within Ethiopia.

Accordingly, the strategies developed, by our management team, for FDI in Ethiopia have been formulated using high business acumen and business analytics pertaining to present Ethiopian economic conditions. Seemingly, one will see from these proposed FDI initiatives that Ethiopia is one of the most stable countries for
