Use the globalEDGE™ site (www.globaledge.msu.edu) to complete the following exercises:

  1. Your company is considering expanding by opening new representative offices in the European Union (EU). Nevertheless, the size of the investment is significant and top management wishes to have a clearer picture of the current and probable future economic status of the EU. Prepare an executive summary describing the features you consider as crucial in making such a decision.
  2. The establishment of the Free Trade Area of the Americas can be a threat, as well as an opportunity for your company. Using the globalEDGE™ Web site, identify the countries participating in the negotiations for the FTAA. What are the main themes of the negotiation process?
