Global marketing has become more and more important in recent years. Having too many choices, marketers face the challenge of determining which international markets to enter and the appropriate marketing strategies for those countries. The goal of this project is to provide you with experience making marketing decisions faced by companies seeking to expand into foreign markets.
You will gather and analyze information to determine whether a country is an appropriate market for a company exploring international market expansion. The companies you may choose from include the following: Panera, Chipotle, Target, and Dollar Tree. The focus of this project is on countries that were identified as emerging markets in 2020, with a few inclusions from 2010.

India
Mexico
Russia

Though these deliverables are related, each will be submitted and graded independently.
