Having explored the importance of economic globalisation, this activity submission requires you to apply the content covered in this module by analysing the ease of doing business in a selected country of your choice.
Firstly, familiarise yourself with the World Banks 2018 Doing Business Full Report by reading with the following sections of the report:
Overview (pp. 1 10)
Reforming the Business Environment in 2016/17 (pp. 22 34)
Having engaged with the report, scroll down to the country tables (pp. 142) and select one country. Once you have done this answer the following question:
1. Review the institutional quality indicators and ease of doing business in the country of your choice, and analyse at least two indicators; that is, why do you think the country measures strong or weak on these indicators? Do you think the chosen indicators are relevant to understand the countrys business competitiveness and economic performance?
In your response, consider the underlying causes of these indicators, and specifically how you think the effects of globalisation may have impacted them. Also consider the role that the countrys political and economic institutions may have had in strengthening or weakening the indicators under analysis.
When writing your essay, you are required to make reference to the course material. Your submission, excluding in-text citations and list of references, may not exceed 600 words.
