Possible Operating Countries • South Africa • Seychelles • Egypt • Ghana • Kenya • Swaziland
Swaziland • Highest risk potential • Political System: Monarchy • Pros : Establish a relationship with the reigning king • Cons: If the government was to change, all ties are lost • The Economic System: in between a modified capitalism and a command economy • Changing value of the dollar • Possible seizure of the investment
South Africa • Lowest potential risk • Political System: Republic • Citizens have a large input on changes in the country • Fewer law changes • Elections every four years • Economic System: Modified capitalism • Government interferes less
The Corruption Perceptions Index • Results for 2010 (from least to most corrupt) • Seychelles • South Africa • Ghana • Swaziland • Egypt • Kenya
Setting up in South Africa • Why? • It is the most politically and economically stable • How? • International joint venture • Strategic alliance is the best action to take to set up an effective import/export business
