Testing the scenario:

  1. How useful would it be to a CEO?
  2. How consistent is it?
  3. How archetypical (general) is it?
  4. Does it describe an equilibrium?

  2. Economic conditions
  3. Social conditions
  4. Cultural conditions: consumer and organisational
  5. Technological innovation

  • Will the institutional environment be too challenging?
  • Will there be fewer or more economic opportunities internationally?
  • Will consumers be more cosmopolitan or more ethnocentric?
