The paper responds to the following questions: Put yourself in the place of Avon’s CEO at the time of the case. You need to produce a concise, lucid and persuasive argument that will cover the following: The motives and strategy for Avon to establish a China-based operation? Discuss the combination of motives and opportunities, and what would have been the ideal market entry strategy knowing the cold Chinese culture vis-a-vis direct sales and its effect on poor wide nation. Proponents of free trade argue that protectionism makes both the protected markets and competing economies worse off. Are there any conditions where protectionism is warranted? Discuss, providing examples and support from the Avon case. What type of political risk is Avon facing (i.e. firm specific and country wide risk), what could be the risk factors involved and what strategies could Avon had developed to control the political risks before the investment had been undertaken? And what are the alternatives for controlling these risks after the investment had been undertaken? What type of risk is Avon facing in this case, and do you believe that it has grounds to defend its Chinese investments?
