The Competence Center for Black Sea Region Studies cordially invites you to the Businnes Talk Black Sea Region “Risky but NOT attractive? Mapping Political Risk in the Black Sea Region“ at the University of Applied Sciences BFI Vienna.

In this talk Johannes Leitner, head of the Competence Center for Black Sea Region Studies, takes a close look at risk factors in the markets of the Black Sea Region that are beyond economic risks such as GDP development, demand structures and competition. Instead, he unveils political risk factors that impact firm performance in these markets and will highlight the pitfalls of political systems which are characterized through the parallel existence of formal and informal institutions. Following a brief theoretical insight into political risk analysis he will discuss a number of cases from the Black Sea Region and conclude with managerial implications of these political risk factors.
