TITLE "RISKY BUSINESS: AN ANALYSIS OF MANAGEMENT ISSUES IN FOREIGN INVESTMENT PROJECTS IN THE REPUBLIC OF UZBEKISTAN"
Main Article Content
Abstract
Foreign investment has been recognized as a vital source of economic growth for many countries, including the Republic of Uzbekistan. However, investing in a foreign country always comes with risks, and Uzbekistan is no exception. In this article, we analyze the management issues and risk factors associated with foreign investment projects in Uzbekistan. Using a qualitative approach, we identify key challenges that investors face, such as political instability, bureaucratic hurdles, and corruption. We also examine the management strategies and tools that can be used to mitigate these risks, including effective risk assessment, stakeholder engagement, and compliance with legal and regulatory frameworks. Our findings provide insights for policymakers and foreign investors on how to navigate the complexities of investing in Uzbekistan and how to maximize the benefits of foreign investment.
