COUNTRY





This is an entry level product which provides users with commercial intelligence on markets and industry in a particular country.


These reports are 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 & graphics - as well as sophisticated business and commercial forecasts & models. The databases are provided as both Excel spreadsheets and Access databases.


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 & 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 transnational, 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.


The Data Caveat

The report databases are designed to give a common definition, unit of measure and quantification of markets in each country.


These reports rely on data collection at various levels of the product flow; this effectively means, the producers, the distribution channels and the end user or consumers. This data is then correlated with any national and international statistical data produced by official agencies.


Because product flow data gathering in some countries is difficult, and the official statistical data is both inaccurate and sparse. In such circumstances, in some countries, we have to flag a Data Caveat as a warning.


Countries marked * indicate a data caveat due to local conditions.

Data Caveat.

The report databases are designed to give a common definition, unit of measure and quantification of demand in over 200 countries. These reports rely on data collection at various levels of the product flow; this effectively means, the producer, the distribution channels and the end user or consumers. This data is then correlated with any national and international statistical data produced by official agencies. Unfortunately, product flow data gathering in some countries is difficult, and furthermore the official statistical data is both inaccurate and sparse. In such circumstances, in some countries, we have to flag a Data Caveat as a warning.  What this means is that in some countries the data is not sufficiently verifiable for statistical purposes and in those cases the data may not be presented.



Financial Data

 

The databases will give Financial data for each of the Financial Data and Margins, by country, by year Historic from 1997, and a Forecast by year to 2040.  Data will be given for the country covered.

About this Database

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 modeling methodology. First time users should 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 & databases which will help the user to fine-tune their models and forecasts to obtain maximum effect and greater accuracy.

 

 

Data Product levels

 

Because of the sheer volume of data potentially available it has been necessary to create a number of product levels which can provide clients with as little or as much data as needed. Clients can upgrade their Product level if required.

 

Database Entry level

Entry level products provide the most basic degree of information supplied. This product can be used to build upon for various business forecasting and planning application. A World Report will have a database of over 9,000 record sets.

 

Corporate Modelling level

The Corporate level modeling products provide the tools and information for medium and long term corporate forecasting and planning. Typically this level will produce a count of over 24,000 record sets.

 

 Econometric Modelling level

The Econometric level modeling products provide the tools and information for industry level, national, and international medium & long term forecasting and planning. Typically this has a database of over 39,000 record sets.

 

Presentation level

The Presentation level products provide the information sought by a client company is a graphical or audio-visual format which is bespoke for the particular needs and applications of the client.

Because all our databases are directly compatible with U.S. Government databases it is sometimes useful for users to use US Government data handling tools to manage not only US Government data, but also the data provided by us. Alternatively, if you are already using this US Government software you can simply access our databases with the same software.  In general we use the same database parameters, structures and field names as those found in US Government databases, and thus users can correlate and query databases without undue difficulty.

Toolkit 2

1. Database Utilities

2. Enterprise Resource Planning

3. Integrated Development Environment

 

If you intend to implement our databases online (internet or intranet) then an Integrated Development Environment is often the easiest route to data dissemination and data manipulation.

Resource Web

Sometimes clients also want the data loaded onto a password protected dedicated website for the use of their staff and any other persons they may authorise.

The main benefit of these Resource Webs is that the data is available to all the client’s staff and professional advisors wherever they may be, and also when data is updated, or new data is added, then there is a common point of access for that data.  Resource Webs are maintained for the use of the client for a period of 12 months from the last update to that site.  These dedicated web sites are provided by the After-Sales Service. 

For a detailed view of a typical Resource Web:   http://www.eni-italy.info   produced for ENI, the Italian Oil group

Database Compatibility

 

The increased use of Database Management Systems, Business Planning and Control Systems, Enterprise Resource Planning, Management Information Systems, and other tools amongst management professionals has produced a critical need for the harmonisation of data across various software applications and systems platforms. The After-Sales Service ensures that its output, where required, will be fully compatible with every product and database.

 

For this reason all the databases use harmonised database structures and data sets; thereby users can obtain any database from any of the publishers, for any of their brands, with the assurance that these databases are fully compatible and can be used in conjunction with one another and the various platforms, operating systems and software.

 

Since 2007, we have undertaken the harmonisation and convergence of the database specifications and definitions of the various database providers. This is to allow users a uniform and standardised reference to use with their planning and forecasting; and to allow cross-database functionality.

 

The data sets, modules and standards shown are now fully harmonised and standardised to allow data and software interflow and cross-platform usage of the databases.  Users may obtain older data dictionaries and standards, and/or data sets and data dictionaries for their own national standards. The standard product and market definitions have been harmonised and are provided (in the standard database products supplied), often as the NAICS classifications. Users wishing to remain with the previous SIC classifications may obtain these databases under that classification system. Users requiring other (U.N., European, Japanese, et cetera) classification definitions and norms may obtain those as necessary. Accounting standards are also harmonised according to the U.S. regulatory norms; however other norms are available. Data dictionary and data definition bridges and converters are available to allow users to update or standardise their databases. We have undertaken to maintain support for the older data dictionary standards and definitions until 2025; however users are urged to update at their earliest convenience.
