Foreign Investment in India
At present, India's GDP is USD 1.237 trillion, which makes it the twelfth-largest economy in the world at market exchange rates and fourth largest in purchasing power. In the late 2000s, India's economic growth has averaged at about 7.5% a year. A 2007 Goldman Sachs report has projected that "from 2007 to 2020, India's GDP per capita will quadruple, and the same will surpass the GDP of the United States of America before 2050." The country managed a reasonable economic growth of 6.1% during the first quarter of the current fiscal (2009) despite the global financial crisis. India's annual GDP growth is likely to accelerate to 7.2% in the next fiscal and further accelerate until reaching a pace of about 9% in the year 2012-2013. India is the seventh-largest country in terms of geographical area, the second-most populous country.

FOREIGN CORRUPTION PRACTICE ACT FCPA USA
This article aims at dealing with the applicability of Foreign Corrupt Practices Act in the foreign investment scenario in Asia. I will further concentrate on the nature of compliances that a corporate ought to observe, be it under FCPA or under the domestic laws of a particular country, and the reason and wisdom to do so. All around the world, in every country, the goal of business is not to serve the public; it is to make money. When that drive for profit produces corrupt behaviour and erupts in major scandals, it can have a demoralizing effect. The early twenty first century scandals in America over revelation of business fraud followed by indictments and punishment included corporations such as WorldCom, Qwest, Tyco, Adelphia Communications, ImClone and Global Crossing.

Opportunities and Challenges in International Franchising - Foreign Franchises Trying to Move into the U.S.

Can Emerging Markets Follow China's FDI Growth Recipe?
China's ability to attract massive amounts of foreign investment does not derive entirely from its economic growth rate or the size of its population, observed Stephen J. Kobrin, Professor of Multinational Management, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, USA. Rather, China leads the developing world in liberalizing its foreign investment policies, he noted. Felipe Larra Bascu Professor of Economics, Catholic University of Chile, Chile, challenged this view, saying he believed that it was China's large marketplace, high growth rate and low costs rather than its investment policies driving FDI. Between these extremes, Paul A. Laudicina, Managing Director, A.T. Kearney, USA, said that interviews with his firm's clients revealed that it was both the size of China's marketplace and its policies that were luring investment.
