ACTUATION SCENERY

In Latin America, a region notorious over the last decade for
protectionism policies that nurtured weak and uncompetitive industries,
political leaders have started to appreciate the benefits that a
free market system can bring and are opening the doors to foreign trade and investment.

This process has sparked an unprecedented upturn in economic growth throughout
the region which is expected to last throughout the decade.

Free market policies combined with massive privatization of state-owned
companies have attracted capital from private and public sources,
while increased prosperity is contributing to political stability.

For a region long recognized as having tremendous economic potential,
the opportunity has arrived.

In Brazil must be emphasized the recent progressive removal of imports barriers,
uncovering 190 million inhabitants’ potential market.

Latin American enterprises, especially in Brazil, must often react rapidly to
political and economical changes.

In some cases, this variation provides
great profit opportunities, however it may also undermine
the organization’s equilibrium posing economic threats.

Our aim is to supply the client with the information required to make decisions
on entering the market.

Consequently we provide a report which outlines the size and nature of the market
and estimated growth.

We indicate the distribution channels which exist as well as
the promotional events and media that may be suitable for the product and/or service.

The report will also indicate any potential obstacles to the entrance such as
technical specifications, tariffs or other restrictions.

We will make recommendations as to the strategy that offers the
best chances for a successful entry.

In many cases, entry into a Latin market will necessitate finding a local partner
whether as agent, distributor or joint venture co-worker.

We will not only find the partners but also qualify them.

GRUPO MC offers a detailed analysis of the market’s
macro scenery (outside company)
and or the company’s micro scenery (inside company)
focusing on all resource aspects that are necessary to
the enterprise’s harmonious and successful functioning.

We study the company’s current strategy and operating policy,
as well as its competitors. The main targets for projects include:

market survey, product interaction, end-users,
information on supplier and service providers,
personnel assets and skills, technical and financial resources,
flexibility to adapt and expand the company in the market,
vulnerable points and potential opportunities.
