How to Strategically Evaluate CroatiaPerhaps the most efficient way of evaluating Croatia is to consider key dimensions which themselves are composites of multiple factors. Composite portfolio approaches have long been used by strategic planners. The biggest challenge in this approach is to choose the appropriate factors that are the most relevant to international planning. The two measures of greatest relevance to wellness and spa equipment are ?latent demand? and ?market accessibility?. The figure below summarizes the key dimensions and recommendations of such an approach. Using these two composites, one can prioritize all countries of the world. Countries of high latent demand and high relative accessibility (e.g. easier entry for one firm compared to other firms) are given highest priority. The figure below shows two different scenarios. Accessibility is defined as a firm?s ease of entering or supplying from or to a market (the ?supply side?), and latent demand is an indicator of the potential in serving from or to the market (the ?demand side?).Framework for Prioritizing CountriesDemand/Market Potential Driven FirmRelative AccessibilityAccessibility/Supply Averse FirmIn the top figure, the firm is driven by market potential, whereas the bottom figure represents a firm that is driven by costs or by an aversion to difficult markets. This report treats the reader as coming from a ?generic firm? approaching the global market ? neither a market-driven nor a cost-driven company. Planners must therefore augment this report with their own company-specific factors that might change the priorities (e.g. a Canadian firm may have higher accessibility in Canada than a German firm).Latent Demand and Accessibility in CroatiaThis report provides a detailed overview of factors driving latent demand and accessibility for wellness and spa equipment in Croatia. Latent demand is largely driven by economic fundamentals specific to wellness and spa equipment. This topic is discussed in Chapter 2 using work carried out in Croatia on behalf of American firms and authored by the United States government (typically commercial attach

Latent demand is largely driven by economic fundamentals specific to wellness and spa equipment. This topic is discussed in Chapter 2 using work carried out in Croatia on behalf of American firms and authored by the United States government (typically commercial attachs or similar persons in local offices of the U.S. Department of State). I have included a number of edits to clarify the information provided. Latent demand only represents half of the picture. Chapter 2 also deals with micro-accessibility for wellness and spa equipment in Croatia. I use the term micro since the discussion is focused specifically on wellness and spa equipment.Chapter 3 is also a stand-alone report that I have authored. It covers proxy pro-forma financial indicators of firms operating in Croatia. I use the word proxy because the provided figures only cover a what if scenario, based on actual operating results for firms in Croatia. The numbers are
