Discussion—Analyzing Emerging Markets

Emerging markets are complex, but can be analyzed and understood by defining a best practices checklist that could easily be overlaid on any country considered an emerging market. Therefore, as you review the readings and additional resources for this week, write down the main ideas that continue to appear and begin to incorporate these ideas in a best practices list.

From the module readings and your understanding of emerging markets, provide an overview of the critical components, such as a country’s GDP, needed to properly analyze an emerging market. Then, answer the following:

• Why did you select the specific components you did?
• Is there a “best practices checklist” that can be created for analyzing emerging markets?
• Is it possible to use a “best practices checklist” as a guideline for analyzing all emerging markets? Why or why not?

Write your initial response in a minimum of 200–300 words. Apply APA standards to the citation of sources.
