Market screening is a method of market analysis and assessment that permits management to identify a small number of desirable markets by eliminating those judged to be less attractive. When considering initial entry into international markets, or later expansion of international presence, companies Inust screen the large number of potential markets to identify the smaller subset of most promising candidates. This exercise examines one type of market screening, called country screening, and reviews the steps in this screening process as well as key tasks and considerations in each step.
Place the country screening steps in the order they occur, from first to last.

1. Assess competitive forces such as the number, size, and financial strength of the competitors.
2. Assess economic and financial forces such as trends in inflation, currency exchange rates, and interest rates.
3. Assess sociocultural forces associated with doing business in a particular area or country,
4. Assess basic need potential of specific goods or services
5. Assess political and legal forces such as profit remittance barriers and policy stability

(hint: you can select the purple points [diamond symbols] on the previous graph to see precise information on average variable cost.) price quantity total revenue fixed cost variable cost profit (dollars per polo) (polos) (dollars) (dollars) (dollars) (dollars) 12.50 135,000 27.50 135,000 45.00 135,000 if the firm shuts down, it must incur its fixed costs (fc) in the short run. in this case, the firm's fixed cost is $135,000 per day. in other words, if it shuts down, the firm would suffer losses of $135,000 per day until its fixed costs end (such as the expiration of a building lease). this firm's shutdown price—that is, the price below which it is optimal for the firm to shut down—is per polo.
