Brazil is big, democratic, stable, rich in resources, and its economic growth may top 8% this year. With a population of nearly 200 million, Brazil offers big opportunities. The investment company Goldman Sachs selected Brazil, along with Russia, India and China, as one of the four BRICsthe developing countries that will share dominance of the world economy by 2050. Brazil is the steadiest of the BRICs. Unlike China and Russia, it is a full-blooded democracy; unlike India, it has no serious disputes with its neighbors. The Heritage Foundation\’s Economic Freedom Index, which measures such factors as protection of property rights and free trade, ranks Brazil (moderately free) above the other BRICs (mostly unfree). Brazil is richer and more urbanized than the other BRICS. Brazil is in the midst of a metamorphosis in its economy, society and polity. As a group, lets decide on the key human resources issues to maximize your success that we would want to discuss with our manager before accepting the assignment. Of these issues, which would be the most critical issue? Support your remarks with a specific example.
