In the BEAR, students will analyze the business environment in the market. The submission should be 3-4 pages in length. Students should remember that this is about developing a market in the selected country, not going there to have fun as a tourist. Therefore, your work should not include data that is not directly relevant to the goal of deciding whether the market should be developed or not. Data that would be relevant could include, but may not necessarily be limited to, the following items:

· Political and regulatory stability – Students will need to describe and discuss the political and regulatory system with reference to their stability and receptivity to international business, including foreign investment.

· Legal system – Students will need to describe and discuss the kind of legal system that exists there. The following questions are typically important in such a discussion - Is the legal system transparent and independent? Is it fair and objective? Does it protect intellectual property, foreign investments, etc.?
