Assignment – Group
Objective of this assignment
The objective of the assignment is for the groups to consider some specific aspects that would need to be considered by a New Zealand based listed company seeking to expand globally. This is achieved through the use of information available from the course materials as well as information in the public domain. Key parts of the assignment require demonstration of analysis and research skills and communicating this analysis. Some questions are open-ended to allow a variety of aspects to be investigated from the information available. This analysis is also to be supported by academic literature to draw a link between academic studies and the practice of business.
Scenario and Instructions
You are to select a New Zealand listed company that currently exports or conducts business offshore.
Having selected the company you then need to identify the significant countries that the company exports to or conducts business in.
You will then assume the role of a member of the senior management of your chosen company. The company has decided to continue to expand its overseas operations and you have been given the task to undertake some research on a suitable country. The output from your research will ultimately be considered by the Board of Directors of your chosen company.
Required
a) Briefly describe your chosen company, its products or services and the significant countries that it currently conducts business in.
b) Obtain your chosen company’s latest Annual Report. From that report identify how the company manages its foreign currency risk / exposure (note: attach relevant extracts from the Annual Report to your assignment submission).

For the chosen country undertake a country risk analysis (note: see page 3 for a list of websites that may be useful for your country risk analysis).
