Different researchers have recommended different decision frameworks for international market selection. As parts of those decision frameworks, most researchers have recommended for the evaluation of macro-environmental and business operating environmental variables. However, few attempts have been made so far to empirically test those frameworks. This study provides a partial test of those frameworks.

A powerful moral leader as well as a wily politician, Gandhi wanted Indians to be proud of their past, to wear Indian rather than foreign dress, to challenge their colonial overlords through peaceful protest and noncooperation and not through violence, and to eliminate discrimination against...
