Questions and instructions

Question pretext

I will now ask questions about how important are various factors in your company’s decision to invest or establish operations in developing countries. Please rate the importance on a scale from 1 to 4, where 1 means “Not at all important”, 2 means “Somewhat important”, 3 means “Important”, 4 means “Critically important”. “Critically important” means it is a “deal-breaker” - by itself this factor could change your decision about whether to invest or not in a country.

Literal question

- Large domestic market size and potential
