INT 220 Module Three Assignment Template Economic and Political Environments Comparison Section One Data is crucial when making business decisions as it can provide insights about consumer behavior and market trends. According to the Harvard Business School, making business decisions on a data-driven basis can help you make confident decisions, become more proactive, and realize cost savings. Not all data points are weighted the same when applying them to business decisions, some data points should be weighted more heavily than other, when looking into expanding to a foreign country, some data points that will be extremely helpful to make business decision include: political system, economic classification, and we definitely want to gather lots of date regarding the culture so we can learn what type of customer behavior we will be dealing with. According to the Harvard Business School, “politics can enormously impact business… political leaders often make decisions that impact labor laws, education, transportation, and taxes, which in turn, influence business… so before expanding your business, it’s critical to ensure it’s prepared for globalization.” Section Two Category Mexico Germany Argentina Political System Federal Republic. Mexico has strong trade ties with the United States. Federal State and Parliamentary democracy Competitive tax environment Strong legal protections.

Gross Domestic Product 1.273 trillion as of 2021 4.26 trillion as of 2021 487.2 billion as of 2021 Purchasing Power Parity 10.4 LCU per dollar 0.7 LCU per dollar 67.4 LCU per dollar Gross Domestic Product Per Capita 10045.68 USD as of 2921 51203.55 USD as of 2021 10636.12 USD as of 2021 Section Three Ranked from most appropriate to least appropriate: 1. Mexico. 2. Germany. 3. Argentina. I ranked these different countries this way because I think it would be easy for a U.S company to easily introduce a product to the market in Mexico as both countries have strong ties when it comes to trading, and since both countries are together in several organization, it makes them easy to trade, I also think that Germany would be a good country to introduce our product to as it has a good economy that would help us generate good revenue for our product; however, there are more trade barriers, lastly, we have Argentina on the last place as it has an economy that is not in such a good position right now, which can make it difficult for the product to succeed.
