Question 01. Map the proposed sequence of evolution of the BRICs economy. What indicators might companies monitor to guide their investments and organize their local market operations?
Ans : The BRICs economies are on the verge of the rapid growth of
their consumer markets. It is expected that within a decade or so, each of the BRICs will show higher returns, increased demand for capital, and stronger national currencies. Experts forecasts that the most dramatic transition will take place over the next 20 to 30 years.

Question no 03. Do you think recency bias has led to overestimating the potential of the BRICs? How would you, as a manager for a company assessing these markets, try to control this bias?
Ans : Recency bias is the delusion that current trends will continue indefinitely and uninterrupted. History shows great mistakes made by companies, executives, investors, and officials who inferred the present into the future. The possibility of an economic natural disaster, a largeimpact, impossible to predict, rare event beyond normal expectations-such as the collapse of the Soviet Union, the emergence of the Internet, and the global financial crisis.
practical threats. Recency bias the natural tendency to weight recent events more heavily then earlier events that are just as statistically relevant a common trap in risk assessment. Green constraints shadow the bright futures of all. the emergence of the BRICs will challenge the well-being and sustainability of the global environment. Global warning, diminishing raw materials, and escalating pollution suggest there is a finite limit. BRICs can develop before exceeding the capacity of the global economy to supply them and of the environment to support them.
Question no 04. How might managers interpret the potential for their product in a market that is in the absolute large but on a per capita basis characterized by many poor consumers?
affordable for that areas consumer. Second problem is transportation problem, because this type of country facing grassroots development in certain state. Thirdly one political barriers, this type of rural state especially have corruption, superstitious, religions, culture.
If manager have knowledge about this and the solution is given below:
Judging local public participation like making community
and take decision among them. After that price of that product, whether it z affordable for them/not. if not then price of that product can be discriminate by diminishing the quality of that product. If there z competitor then they have 2 earn their profit at B.E.P. and also giving distribution channel to local areas people and also recruit them. so the income of that may increase. Giving them training (operating machinery, tools ,vehicle. If the plant z set up, the transportation problem will be solve. At the end government interests will increase tax will be favorable.
Question no 05 .In the event that one BRIC country, if not all, fails to meet its projected performance, what would be some of the implications to the economic environment of international business? Ans :-Emerging countries growing rapidly year by year could not avoid the evils of worldwide recession. Impact on BRIC Countries - (Brazil, Russia, India and China) BRICs will face the different negative impact. The economy of each country will close to reach the mature mode. The US GDP based on PPP share of world total shrunk slowly after the year of 2000. The stock index fell in an accelerated manner. During the six months from May to October 2008.

Low FDI- Failure of one of the BRICs country will result in low Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Low Consumption- Consumption level will thats why world may face depression. Impulse response of global factor variables (e.g., world oil price) to shocks (e.g., to productivity) in BRICs. This result, shocks to global market (e.g. oil price) produces the indirect impact of shocks from BRICs (e.g. Low productivity).
Question no. 06. Compare and contrast the merits of GNI per capita Versus the idea of purchasing power parity, human development, and green economics as indicators of economics potential in Brazil , Russia, China and India.
Ans :- Gross national income per capita (GNI per capita) represents the market value of all final goods and services newly produced in an economy by a countrys domesticallyowned firms in a given year divided by its population. Purchasing power parity (PPP) ) represents the number of units of a countrys currency required to buy the same amount of goods and services in the domestic market that one unit of income would buy in another country.
