This PPT slide, part of the 39-slide Market Entry Assessment Guide PowerPoint presentation, titled "Risks: Crime" outlines critical considerations for organizations operating in emerging markets. It emphasizes 2 primary factors: the scale of crime and its cultural implications. The distinction between small-scale and large-scale organized crime is crucial. Smaller crimes might be more localized and less impactful on broader operations, while larger organized crime can pose significant threats to business continuity and safety.

Cultural context plays a vital role in how crime is perceived and dealt with in different regions. The slide references historical examples, such as the Prohibition era in the United States, to illustrate how societal norms and public opinion can shape attitudes toward crime. For instance, in some cultures, economic hardship may lead to a more lenient view of theft or other crimes, as people may justify such actions based on their circumstances. This cultural lens is essential for organizations to understand, as it can influence both risk assessment and response strategies.

The slide also lists various crimes that organizations might face, which can hinder trade efficiency. These include terrorism, counterfeiting, sabotage, embezzlement, hacking, blackmail, extortion, and others. Each of these threats can disrupt operations and damage reputations. Organizations must be proactive in identifying these risks and developing strategies to mitigate them. Understanding the local crime landscape and its cultural context is essential for making informed decisions and safeguarding assets in emerging markets.
