Base Reference Country

This report is produced from the standpoint of the business norms and perceptions of the base country and covers a large number of issues which the client must consider when planning the development of local markets (i.e. the City or Town).

This report provides market, financial and industry data on the Product markets in the City or Town.

Each of the following chapters address particular facets of business activity and each of these facets are important in local markets. Once a client has focused on a particular local market then a Country Report (or a Country & Cities Report) on that particular market can be obtained and this will provide more detailed information. In this way a client can compare the local market situation with that of the national market and thereby business planning can be more realistically undertaken.

THE CITY or TOWN REPORT INTRODUCTION

This is an entry level product which provides users with commercial intelligence on the Product markets and industries in the City or Town. The report analyses the local markets with a basic point of reference, namely the Country. The report is formatted to give both a narrative description of the various matters covered as well as provide readers with the ability to directly use the Chapters (via Microsoft Word or compatible word processors) to produce their own reports and documentation.  Experienced users will be able to use the spreadsheet and databases to generate highly detailed narrative reports, charts and graphics - as well as sophisticated business and commercial forecasts and models. The databases are provided in both Excel spreadsheets and an Access database. Explanatory notes are provided as word processor documents or in PDF formats.

As an entry level product the narrative is necessarily illustrative in its terminology and seeks to provide a basic degree of business logic and theory which indicates the rational applied in the forecasting and modelling methodology.

The databases provided are specifically designed to provide users with a uniform and consistent numeric measure of both (normally) quantifiable values as well as conceptual factors which are (usually) only capable of qualification. Experienced users will know how to apply forecasting and modelling software to the numeric data provided to generate highly detailed and discrete business planning models. The databases provided in this report can be used directly with databases on other product, markets and industries in other countries. The databases are specifically designed to be trans-national, currency neutral, inflation and purchasing parity adjusted, product parity and product equivalent adjusted, opportunity cost adjusted, and numerically compatible; they all can be linked or merged programmatically in business planning models to provide multi-national and multi-level analysis.

Before using the data provided please read the Database Introduction as well as the Notes and Definitions links found in each Chapter. There are subtle statistical nuances to some of the spreadsheets and databases which will help the user to fine-tune their models and forecasts to obtain maximum effect and greater accuracy. The database flow chart and database description should be consulted when applying statistical and modelling software.
