Question: Arrange the steps in the correct order to plan your international expansion. Use what you’ve explored so far to guide you and see how prepared you are to take a business to new markets. Select each item and then a number to place in the correct order, then submit.
- 1 - Identifying opportunities
- 2 - Market analysis
- 3 - Plan your strategy
- 4 - Set goals
- 5 - Take action
- 6 - Track success
Explanation
The correct sequence starts with identifying opportunities, because Google’s Market Finder is used to discover potential export markets and spot where demand may be growing. Market analysis comes next, because a business needs to understand customer demand, competition, and local conditions before deciding how to enter a market. Strategy follows analysis, since the research must be turned into a practical approach before targets are set. Goals come after the strategy so the business can define what success should look like in measurable terms, and action follows once that plan is ready. Tracking success is last because measurement is used to evaluate results after launch and refine performance over time. business.google.com+1
