Order Description

Assignment Info.
 Officially the Republic of the Union of Myanmar, commonly shortened to Myanmar, is a sovereign state in Southeast Asia bordered by Bangladesh, India, China, Laos and Thailand
 Myanmar, formally known as Burma, was long considered a pariah state, isolated from the rest of the world with an appalling human rights record. Source: BBC 2014
 Despite an inauspicious start to Myanmar’s new post-junta phase, a series of reforms in the months since the new government took up office has led to hopes that decades of international isolation could be coming to an end.
Portfolio Exercise
Please discuss, in general terms, how Myanmar might capitalise on this recent development to ensure success in the global market.
Too Much to do?
It is only three years since Myanmar embarked on its experiment with democratic reform led by the president, Thein Sein, a former general and the bonanza of foreign investment some hoped for when Myanmar, Asia’s last frontier, opened its doors has not really materialised. (The Economist, Sept 2014)
