Dear Mr. McVicker,

This document contains the report that you requested in September. I have provided pertinent information and made recommendations on the plan of action to expand McVicker Aluminum, Inc. to the Kingdom of Bahrain.

My analysis of the expansion into Bahrain covered four important areas that will help you decide whether or not McVicker Aluminum, Inc. should expand and build an aluminum plant in the Kingdom of Bahrain. I took an extensive look at the current political condition, the current economical condition, the current business condition, and the cultural aspects of working in a Muslim country. I strongly believe that McVicker Aluminum, Inc. can be a successful business in Bahrain.

I used several resources to create this report. The most helpful resources were the Bahrain Economic Quarterly June 2014, the book by Philip Dew, Bahrain's Business Environment, and Department of Defense Bahrain Country Handbook.

Thank you for choosing me to conduct the research into the Kingdom of Bahrain. If you have any further questions about the research or recommendations please contact me (michael.s.gordon.mil@mail.mil) and I will be happy to answer any questions referring to the possible expansion into Bahrain.

Sincerely,

Michael S. Gordon
