Exercise 3

Use the globalEDGE Resource Desk (http://globalEDGE.su.du/ResourceDesk/)to completethe following exercises:
Your company has developed a new product that is expected to achieve high penetration rates in all the countries in which it is introduced, regardless of the average income status of the local population.Considering the costs of the product launch, the management team has decided to initially introduce the product only in countries that have a sizeable population base.Using the Population Reference Bureau as a resource, you are required to prepare a preliminary report with the top 10 countries of the world in terms of population size.Since growth opportunities are another major concern, the average population growth rates should be listed for management's consideration.
