  2. Administrative Distances • Difference in currency • Tariff and non-tariff barriers (such as safety regulation): but this distance decreases over time (WTO, regional integration by FTA) • Local government FDI policy (restrictions and incentives) • Political disputes, conflicts

  3. What is WTO? • World Trade Organization（HQ: Geneve, UN organization, 151 countries, established in 1995, former GATT) • WTO principles • MFN（Most Favorable Nation)　最恵国待遇：Exception for regional integration (FTA, EPA) • NT(National Treatment)　内国民待遇 • WTO rules • Tariffs in goods and services：ITA(Information Technology Agreement) • Trade Related Investment Measures（TRIMS) • Trade Related Intellectual Property Rights（TRIPS) • Government procurement, safety regulation, anti-dumping, safe guard rules etc.

  4. Tariffs revision schedule (China’s accession to WTO)

  5. Deregulation schedule for retail and wholesalse sector in China

  6. Regional integrations with ASEAN

  7. FTAs (EPAs) in Asia

  8. Why “role of government”? • Administrative distances are greater for developing economies. (WTO, FTAs … but…) • Institutional fragileness in government agencies: limited human resource capacities, fragile legal institutions and discretions of local government officers. • Risk management perspectives; understanding local government incentives (sometimes government officer individual level) and relationship building is important.

  9. India vs China: public organization

  10. Institutional Voids Developed world No institutions (Chaotic world) (Khanna and Palepu, 2010)

  11. Strategy questions from IV view • Again, replicate (aggregation), adapt(adaptation) or exploitation (arbitrage)? • Examples of exploitation: METRO cash and carry, Blue River Capital (IV in financial market) • Compete alone or collaborate? • Working together with local partner? This will be discussed later in my course • Accept or attempt to change market context? • Filling IV by yourself? Influence on local government? (Toyota supply chain system in Guangzhou) • Enter, wait or exit? • Investment (exit) decision making with risk analysis

  12. Risk factor identification • Risk: Uncertainty which might be under control • Types of global business risks • PEST（Politics, Economics, Society, Technology) • Global business: beyond PEST, risks inherited in institutional voids • Management decision under uncertainty -> Project evaluation (NPV, Monte Carlo simulation, VaR, real option approach etc.) • Major caveats for Japanese firms: too many risks -> don’t invest (discount factor may be too high).

  13. Major risks associated with China business • Increasing production cost: particularly labor costs, worker protection policy and labor activist movements. • Technology leakage: Weak IPR enforcement, high labor turnover • Lack of transparency with government policy, various regulations: discretionary power of (local) government, sudden change of policies

  14. Decision under uncertainty • Risk factor identification • Setting variance of risk factor (risk scoring) • Modeling risk project and simulation • Investment decision for new project (or exist from existing project): NPV, real option valuation (waiting options) • Risk management for existing project: determing major risks which should be treated • Independent project making or company wide strategic move?

  15. How to mitigate institutional risk? • Case of Shanhai Jiading industrial park: Japanese firms was forced to be out • Case of Tata’s factory case: pull out from West Bengal Two qeustions • What could have been done in advance? • How to treat this?
