Managers in international businesses will need to evaluate the attractiveness of a country as a market or location for a facility or investment. Knowing how to think about events and situations will help the manager make that evaluation. Managers can use economic and socioeconomic indicators to evaluate potential locations to conduct business.

The statement is: True.

Explanation:

Before starting businesses in a foreign country, managers must analyze if the target region fulfills the minimal conditions to conduct operations and, more important if the returns are good enough to cover the expenses of the investment. For such a purpose, social indicators such as average consumer income, education, or occupational class should be reviewed by executives. Countries with higher ratings should be the priority to start international businesses there.
