(1) “Cultural Analysis”;
(2) “Economic Analysis.”
needs to also include an “Executive Summary” immediately after the cover page and before the “Table of Contents” (which is then to be followed by the actual report content).
The “Executive Summary” should provide a summary of all major points included in the written report. In addition, a “References” section, along with an “Appendix” that contains any necessary tables, figures, and exhibits, should be included at the end of the written report. CULTURAL ANALYSIS The data and information gathered for the cultural analysis includes that which helps the marketer make market-planning decisions.
However, its application extends beyond product and market analysis to being an important source of information for someone interested in understanding business customs and other important cultural features of the foreign country. The data and information included in this analysis must be more than a collection of facts. It should also attempt to interpret the meaning and value of the cultural data and information that is located and collected.
