technologically advanced

#2 Greece and Italy are a in free-fall whereas Spain is given the

#3 People’s willingness to visit countries or invest in them varies

across countries

English speaking seem to differ from others polled in the study in that their opinions of other countries in general, are not influenced by the countries’ physical beauty.

People’s perceptions in Germany, Britain and Canada are driven more by the extent to which a country has an effective government

The Japanese and Russian populations care more about the country’s economy

Identifying your key stakeholders and what drives their behaviour is crucial in winning their support
