Market Entry Issue Tree

Market entry issue tree

This issue tree frames market entry as two necessary questions. First, is the market worth entering? Size, growth, and margins describe the opportunity. Second, can the company win? That requires capabilities, a credible advantage, and a route to customers. Keeping these branches separate prevents an attractive market from being mistaken for an attractive company opportunity. The tree can be expanded with regulation, investment, and risk once the core questions are clear. Each leaf should become a research task with evidence and a decision criterion, not a generic discussion topic. It gives readers a concise reference they can reuse when discussing the result with colleagues.
