CHAPTER TWO
Recent sanctions by the United States and Europe against Russia are posing problems for global
automakers. The sanctions, imposed in response to Vladimir Putin’s policy decisions are creating
challenges not only for Russian citizens, but also for U.S. and European companies. France’s
Renault is likely to be hit hardest. It is the most dependent on the Russian market followed by
South Korea’s Kia and Hyundai, and Japan’s Nissan, and German automakers VW and
Mercedes. If these sanctions persist, the companies could experience considerable production
issues. Already, General Motors is offering buyouts to its workers in Russia as sales slump in the
country.
1.
Consider the impact of the sanctions relative to the overall attractiveness of the Russian
market. What are the political and economic costs of doing business in countries like
Russia where political problems threaten economic growth?
2.

Russian market.
3.
What are the tradeoffs of operating in an emerging market like Russia where political
uncertainty is high as compared to a more established market.
