Primary needs typically related to infrastructure development, like construction, telecommunications, power generation equipment; e.g. Vietnam • Takeoff- manufacturing of consumer goods has begun. B2B needs focus on equipment & supplies to support manufacturing; e.g. Russian & Eastern European countries • Drive to maturity- industrialized economies. Focus on low-cost manufacturing of various consumer goods & some industrial goods; need all categories of B2B goods & services; e.g. Korea; Czech Republic • Age of mass consumption- mostly service economies.
