Buyer's Risks

Unit 4.2- Buyer's Risks
An international manager needs to avoid the main pitfalls of country risk assessment by looking for information in a variety of places, conducting relevant analysis, and changing opinions if necessary. A company must set acceptable risk objectives based on its reward goals and risk tolerance. The key to reducing risk is a thorough assessment of the country and customers. Maintaining a systematic approach for each customer and country in this analysis will assure that each evaluation is consistent, relevant, and objective.
