You should consider the opportunities which the market offers for a UK investment bank which has some overseas operations but does not currently operate in Thailand. You should consider, in particular, what kind of synergies the bank could benefit from, and also whether offering current services in this market will present special problems.
Your report should be no more than 2000 words. Please use the marking criteria (below) as guidance while answering the question. Also, please refer to the relevant general feedback on the assignments originally submitted, and use it as guidance for completing your work.
