Description
Summary:As China is now a popular investment location due to its rapid development and largely untapped markets, it is therefore timely to conduct a study to examine the type of risks that are unique to doing business there. The research technique employed was a questionnaire survey which was replicated from a study by Ion Amariuta, D. P. Rutenberg and R. Staelin. The purpose of our study was to evaluate local investors' perceptions of investing in China. The results obtained indicated that if managers get involved in activities with China instead of just planning in their office, they are likely to perceive less risk and inconvenience doing business in China. It was also found that investors were indifferent between investments in China and India. In addition, recommendations are made for public policy, managers and future researchers.
