potential for disruption that could affect operations.

drawbacks of the existing system.

management of your MNC and explain how deficits and surpluses found
within the country you have chosen can positively or negatively affect
operations of your company.
5. Analyze how the foreign exchange market your company is
considering entering can impact international business operations.
