Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Some criteria that firms may use to group countries in order to determine which country to target include market potential, the political, legal, and financial environment of the country, the marketing support infrastructure in the country, current brand presence in the country, and the degree of market fit with the company policies, goals, and resources. Indicators of market potential include, GDP, consumer behavior, and industry and consumer statistics. All else being equal, a company would prefer to enter a country with a stable political environment and one in which the legal environment was not ambiguous. It is important for marketing infrastructure (e.g., distributors) to be developed as well. This may be found in the Macro-Segmentation: Country Attractiveness Analysis section (7-3b).
