Here are some suggested databases to get you started. These databases may not have all the information you need to make a full evaluation. You may need to conduct your own research to find useful databases that house the data you need to conduct your analysis.

• The World Bank?s Doing Business DataLinks to an external site.
• The World Bank?s DataBankLinks to an external site.

Step 2: Analyzing the Data
Now that you have gathered your data, you will need to determine the best way to compile the data for analysis. Using the tools and skills you have learned in this course, create graphs and tables that will assist you in making sense of the data. You will use these tables to assess the data and support your analysis.

In your paper,

• Summarize the background of the country or region, including what makes it unique and why it is a viable option for Walmart expansion.
• Assess the data sets and include any charts or graphs used in your evaluation.
  • Measure outlook sales, interest, and other trends to make a determination on the regional outlook. Is the outlook improving, remaining stable, or deteriorating? For example, how will this expansion affect sales trends, interest cost trends, etc.?
  • Calculate whether Walmart will have favorable or unfavorable currency translation adjustments. For example, how strong is the country?s currency against the U.S. dollar?
  • Create revenue projections and sales projections based on the data. Consider the currently translation adjustments in your projection.
  • Propose a recommended course of action based on your interpretation of the data.
