You are required to choose one company from the list, and only one and only from this list for your coursework. These companies are mostly large size multinationals located regionally or globally through many FDI activities.
Sometimes FDIs are initiated and conducted by multinational group or headquarters. Sometimes FDIs are initiated and conducted by affiliated companies located home or abroad. Either scenario is acceptable for this coursework if you clarify who is the investor. Please note you only need to focus on one FDI in the theoretical analysis of FDI decisions (Part 4, which accounts for 40% of the total credit).
