Markets in developed economies are approaching saturation level. Therefore, MNCs are searching for new untapped markets in emerging countries such as India and China.

• Articles related to GEH
Then, respond to the following:
1. Select two trade theories that best explain why GEH expanded its operations of developing new drugs to India, and manufacturing X-ray business to China.
2. Explain the selected theories, and then evaluate GEH's reasoning.
3. Explain possible pitfalls for such strategy from GEH's perspective.
4. Identify solutions to the possible pitfalls for the strategy.
5. For each operation (India and China), evaluate GEH's human resource strategy.
6. Identify how you would design training for preparing expatriates for their assignments to India and China if you were in charge of their training prior to the overseas assignment.
