General Instructions and Purpose of Cultural Analysis

The data suggested in the cultural analysis includes information that helps the marketer make market planning decisions.However, its application extends beyond product and market analysis to being an important source of information for someone interested in understanding business customs and other important cultural features of the country.

The information in this analysis must be more than a collection of facts. Whoever is responsible for the preparation of this material should attempt to interpret the meaning of cultural information.That is, how does the information help in understanding the effect on that market? For example, the fact that almost all the populations of Italy and Mexico are Catholic is an interesting statistic, but not nearly as useful as understanding the effect of Catholicism on values, beliefs, and other aspects of market behavior. Furthermore, even though both countries are predominantly Catholic, the influence of their individual and unique interpretation and practice of Catholicism can result in important differences in market behavior.
