Of these markets, which is the closest to the U.S. in terms of Ghemawat's distance dimensions? Which is the furthest? What advice do you think Ghemawat would give CEO Doug McMillon on market penetration strategy? Imagine that his advice is informed by having just read the first few chapters of The China Twist.
