Q. I initially submitted this on 1/31 however; the tutor who had accepted the question was unable to complete it. If anyone can assist me with this by Sunday, 2/5/2012 at 5 PM EST, I would greatly appreciate it.

1. Illustrate what method of market entry should the industry use? (Hint: You will need to assess the political risk of doing business in Russia to answer this question)

2. Explain how would you segment the market for beer in Russia also illustrates what segment would you select as your target market?
