I. Decision Event Goals

• Generate a "relationship profile" delineating how both Asia and the West must adapt past practices to meet the coming challenges of developing Asia's huge demand for foreign direct investment (FDI)
  
  

• Explore the key scenario variables and dynamics likely to emerge as Asia's FDI requirements balloon in the coming years, focusing on the need for viable rule sets underpinned by a stable regional security environment
  
  

• Determine which political-military instability scenarios present the greatest potential to ruin Asia's FDI climate
  
  

• Construct realistic downstream scenarios (covering the next 10-15 years) capturing Asia's movement toward, or away from, a shared FDI rule set with the world's leading economies (i.e, the Triad "squared").

II. Decision Event Format

• The one-day workshop (Monday, 16 Oct) will focus on both Asian and Non-Asian sources of FDI in Asia, as well as Developing Asia's continued emergence as the new "sink" for global FDI
  
  

• Approximately three dozen participants drawn equally from the financial, government,  security, and regional expert communities will attend the "decision event"
  
  

• The "decision event" will involve both facilitated discussion by the group as a whole and individual participation in collective brainstorming tasks employing a decision software system known as GroupSystems (with each participant entering data anonymously via a dedicated laptop and all participants interacting asynchronously with one another's inputted ideas via a portable Local Area Network); overall we anticipate about 4 hours of group discussions and 3 hours of group brainstorming via laptops
  
  

• No papers are to be presented or distributed, and no preparation is required beyond perusing this read-ahead package, which will be finalized about a week before the event
  
  

• The five working sessions will involve a cumulative exploration of a rough "influence net" model that we are constructing regarding the key dynamics of Asia's future financing requirements and the impact those potentially huge demands could have on the global economy and security environment.  The figure presented below represents--in a reduced fashion--an opening draft of an appropriate influence net.

Sessions IA and IB (Where Asia Gets the Money and Energy Case Study) will focus on inner most circle (The Blend). 

Session II (Build Your Own Free Trade Zone) will focus on second-most inner circle (The Players). 

Sessions IIIa and IIIb (Pick Your Dream Investment Partner and Scenario Flashpoint) will focus on second-most outer circle (The Unfolding).

Session IV (Rule Set Scenarios) will focus on the outer most circle (The Adjustment).

Introduction to GroupSystems: Start-up brainstorming exercise
--Prof. Bradd Hayes
You will be asked to participate in a short brainstorming exercise designed to familiarize you with the basic tasks we'll ask you to perform within GroupSystems throughout the rest of the day--namely, entering in new ideas, commenting on the ideas of others, and voting.

0845 Session IA  
Where Asia Gets the Money, aka "You Make the Call!"
Participants will be presented with a projection of FDI outward stock possessed by the so-called Triad (US, EU, Japan) and Developing Asia for 2010 and will be asked to make two votes regarding the distribution of that combined stock pool.  Facilitated discussions will also occur. 

0945   
Coffee break

1000 Session IB  
Case Study on Energy, "Davos Man versus Seattle Man"
Participants will be asked to engage in two brainstorming exercises regarding the future unfolding of FDI in the Asian energy sector, exploring the question of how much market-based strategies designed to maximize development should dominate (Davos Man) versus state-based strategies designed to protect local interests (Seattle Man).  Facilitated discussions will also occur. 

1100 Session II
Build Your Own Free Trade Zone, aka "The Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon Game" (based on the movie trivia game designed to show how easy it is to trace connections between various movie stars based on their acting in movies with common actors)
In a series of GroupSystems activities, participants will be asked to assemble Asian and non-Asian economies into a number of new cross-regional FTAs.  Facilitated discussion will follow each activity.  At the end of this series of activities/discussions, we will tally up the cumulative findings to generate a list of the "most easily connected states" (i.e., the most Kevin Bacon-like economy in Asia).

1200   
Lunch

1300 Session III (A)   
Pick Your Dream Investment Partner, aka "The Dating Game" (based on the old American television game show in which three contestants vied to be chosen by a member of the opposite sex for a spectacular dating experience designed to generate a long-term romance; the process being one where the "guest," or person doing the choosing, asks the three contestants a series of questions designed to reveal aspects of their personality)
In a series of GroupSystems activities, participants will be asked to input answers on behalf of three contestants vying to be chosen as potential FDI partners in Asia.  Facilitated discussion will follow each activity.  The "guest" asking the questions will be "Developing Asia," and participants will be asked to generate replies on behalf of three contestants:

1. NAFTA

2. European Union

3. Industrialized Asia.

1440   
Break

1450 Session III (B)
Scenario Flashpoint, aka "Dear Miss Manners" (based on the newspaper columnist who dispenses advice on how to handle difficult social situations)
Participants will be presented with a 2010-timeframe political-military scenario vignette in which the actions of one or more Asian states threaten to dramatically sour the region's FDI climate.  Adopting the guise of Miss Manners, participants will be asked to pen "advice emails" to the leaders of three countries and/or international organizations.  Participants will address their emails to various government leaders (e.g., President of the United States) and/or international organizations (e.g., IMF, World Bank).  

1530   
Break

1545 Session IV  
Rule Set Scenarios, aka "Headlines From the Future"
Participants will be presented with 4 outcome scenarios for the emergence of FDI rule sets in Asia as a result of that region's economic development over the next 10-15 years.  The scenarios are based on two simple questions:

• Will the United States remain as military "Leviathan" in the region or will an Asian country or group of countries replace the U.S. in that security role?
  
  

• Will the global "pie" of investment resources continue to grow along with the economies of the most advanced countries or will it shrink in some significant economic downturn?

These two questions generate four possible outcomes, as depicted below:

In this session, participants will be asked to generate imagined newspaper headlines we'd likely to see in the New York Times, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal in the 2010-15 timeframe if Asia were to move from the today scenario to any of the other three.  Facilitated discussion will follow each of the three scenario headline-writing activities.  The session will end with participants nominating scenario titles for each of the three scenario pathways (today-->better?, today-->worry?, and today-->danger?) and then voting on their favorite.


1700   
Final comments and wrap-up
Every participant will be given a final chance to offer commentary on the day's events.


1730
