Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

A
High-income, industrialized countries are most likely to be lead countries. Consumers in these markets are wealthy (compared to other markets) and can afford to adopt products early in the product life cycle. Industrialized countries are also more likely to have marketing vehicles that allow marketers to promote new products and services. This may be found in the Product Diffusion section (10-5).
