Please read the Harvard case study Country Risk Analysis and Managing Crises: Tower Associates by F. John Mathis, Paul Keat, and John J. O'Connell.

Please answer the following questions about the case study in a properly formatted APA paper in 710 pages and at least three additional journal articles:

1. Are there any hidden assumptions or price rigidities in the country or countries that might inhibit market force indicators from revealing the country's true economic health, thereby preventing government policy actions from correcting the problems or otherwise making them ineffective and counterproductive?
2. What is the current domestic and international economic situation of each country relative to the benchmark performance measures for that country?
3. Is the country currently following appropriate economic policies from a domestic and an international perspective? Provide supporting justification for your answer.
4. When the tools of country risk analysis are applied to the different countries being analyzed, which country is more likely to have what kind of crisis and why?
5. Suppose you recommend that Tower Associates proceed with a transaction in one of the selected countries. Which strategy would you suggest they follow: a foreign exchange hedging strategy or a country risk crisis management strategy? Explain and justify your recommendation.
6. What steps can Tower Associates take to help mitigate and manage some of the risks involved if they proceed with the transaction, such as foreign exchange, sovereign, liquidity, market, insolvency, and credit risks?

In addition to the written APA formatted paper, you are required to prepare a 10- to 12-slide PowerPoint presentation with slide notes and references as if you were presenting your answers to a member of management.
