Dr. Ziva Rozen-Bakher-Researcher in International Business with a focus on Risks

Political Risks: Regime Transformation, Political Instability, Wars, Geopolitical Conflicts, Sanctions, Global Terror, Regional & Global Crises.

In this blog, I focus each time on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and International Trade in a certain country or territory in terms of how Location Factors (Political, Economic, Technological, Ecological, Legal and Cultural) and Entry Modes (e.g. M&As, Export and Greenfield) impact the attractiveness - or vice versa - the risks of FDI and International Trade in the specific country or territory.
