Specifically, it includes the research and assessment of the five sets operating environment: the three sets of macroenvironment (i.e., sociocultural environment, economic and financial environment, and political and legal environment), the industry and market environment, as well as the internal environment of the company. Here, your team needs to first identify the key factors in each of these five sets of operating environments that may have strategic impacts on your decisions to market the wine to your target country (see Topics 2 - 5 for details). For each of the identified strategic factors, your team will then need to search for and analyze relevant data/information about these factors of the target country (as well as the winery). In an established international company, this research and assessment effort is typically a part of a continuous effort for building a country handbook//knowledgebase. Consequently, Part I of the term project can also be viewed as a practice for initiating or building such a handbook/knowledgebase of a specific country. For this reason, a file entitled "Country Handbook and Knowledgebase Development Guide" is provided on D2L for your reference. You can use the information contained in the guide as a template for preparing this part of the project
