Your management consulting firm has been retained to complete an assessment of Carrefour's international strategy, particularly as it relates to the Asian region. Your written report is due in two weeks, and you have been asked to present a ten minute overview at the upcoming partner meeting.

a. The General Environmentb.The Industry Environmentc.The Competitor Environment
2.Outline Carrefour's business and international strategies.
3.Complete a comparative analysis of the unique strategic approaches used in each of the eight Asian markets where Carrefour competes.
4.Does the analysis reveal any commonalities in the Asian markets which would provide a foundation for a regionally integrated strategy? What would be the benefits of developing a transnational strategy?
5.Based on the analysis, what advice can you give Carrefour's management to improve the company's successful expansion into China? Recommend an integrated and coordinated set of commitments and actions which will exploit the company's core competencies, sustain growth, and ensure maximum performance and value for shareholders.
