Answer to Question 1

B
A company that uses intermediaries in its own home-country is likely not to be as involved in managing the marketing mix in the country where the target market is located. Home-country middlemen typically provide all marketing services for firms that do not wish to enter the foreign market and/or do not have the capability to do so. Companies relying on home-country middlemen relinquish their control of the marketing mix to their distributors in the target-market foreign country.

Answer to Question 2

B
