ABSTRACT This thesis helps in managing Telecom FDI risks in the emerging economies. This study was specifically conducted on the Telecom industry risks, that affect its foreign direct investment, into emerging economies. Associated risks involved in this case were analysed, and the situation in the FDI context was evaluated. In other words each associated risk was identified, and ways to measure and analyse it were suggested (comprehensive models suggested which industry people can use to assess related risks in specific situations) and then ways in which it can be managed were assessed. It provides an overview of the various risks involved in this area. It suggests using the PESTLE incorporated AHP framework first to analyse risks according to the nations assessed. Then it suggests using a PESTLEI incorporated ALE framework to measure and prioritise it. Lastly, it states various ways of controlling the risks and suggests using the PESTLEI model again to distribute the risk insurance cost across the various categories and components, thereby suggesting a way of realising where more control is required among the components. This work overall suggests a new method of tackling risks in emerging economies in the Telecom sector in FDI, with the usage of business models.
