answer the question week 2

You will be doing a comprehensive case study to help you synthesize the theories you will learn about doing business internationally. You will select a country and a product that you would like to learn more about by developing a comprehensive case study. Each week you will be assigned a series of questions to do your research on your selected country and product.
You will take the perspective that you have been assigned the responsibility by the CEO of your company to identify a country to possibly do business in. The Final Project is a paper that that requires you to analyze the market and country you selected to develop or introduce a new product or service.
