Peren-Clement Index - PCI 2.0

Más información sobre el libro

The Peren–Clement index (PCI) is a methodology for analyzing country-specific risks in international trade and direct investment, established in 1998. It serves as a guideline for determining which foreign markets present opportunities for business engagement and investment, as well as assessing the extent to which existing investments should be increased or reduced. The PCI functions as an early detection system, evaluating the probabilities and risks associated with investments in foreign markets based on political, social, economic, and judicial factors, along with anticipated future developments. The latest version, PCI 2.0, discusses two key strategic planning perspectives: resources-focused and market-focused. These perspectives are complementary rather than mutually exclusive, and companies must integrate both into their strategic planning for foreign direct investments. Effective strategic decision-making requires a two-dimensional correlation between the macroeconomic environment and the specific investment goals of the company. Consequently, the application of risk indices in business planning for global investments gains a new significance, enhancing the evaluation process for potential investments.
