Apart from all these benefits there are certain 3 Managing in a Global Environment challenges, which may arise like permission from government to set up a business is a big task. The company should thoroughly prepare for benefits, which can be provided to India in order to influence the government. The second major challenge may arise huge capital investment and the profitability of the company. The government of host nation may set strict terms and conditions for Foreign Direct Investment.
