Business in Brazil

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses the Brazilian economy, considered the 10th largest in the world, claiming it to be attractive to many foreign investors for a variety of reasons, including the relatively large consumer base. The paper describes how fluctuations in the economy and the rise and fall of currency have prevented many big businesses from investing in Brazil. The paper contends, however, that careful attention to business and economic trends, as well as the rules and regulations that govern business operations in Brazil, can ensure the success of even marginally lucrative endeavors.

From the Paper:

"There are several different political parties that dominate the Brazilian landscape including: Brazilian Democratic Movement Party, Liberal Front Party, Progressive Renewal Party, Brazilian Social Democracy Party and the Liberal party to name a few (Lomheim, 2004). Corrupt politicians and lack of support for a predominately military rule has led to a decline in public support for political parties in the last decade, as well as the existence of more than 30 political parties overall in the nation (Lomheim, 2004). A majority of the economic and business activity that occurs within Brazil is concentrated in southeastern states including those of So Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais (Kullman, 2004). The primary areas of business and manufacturing include (but are not limited to): automobile manufacturing, steel, petrochemicals, computers and aviation (Kullman, 2004). There are many manufacturing cities located in the Northern region of Brazil though generally this area is less populated than other."
