    Firms must evaluate countries carefully to determine where to allocate scarce resources for international expansion. Key factors for country evaluation include return opportunities like market size and costs, as well as risk considerations such as political, competitive, and monetary risks. Primary data collection has issues like cost and availability, while secondary sources have problems with accuracy, recency, and comparability. Common secondary sources of country information include government data, international organizations, trade associations, and professional consulting services. Country evaluation grids and opportunity-risk matrices are tools that can rank and plot countries based on weighted variables to reveal their relative attractiveness and guide resource allocation decisions.
