Many U.S. firms prefer to sell in Canada, England, and Australia because they feel more comfortable with the language, laws, and culture. Companies should be careful in choosing markets according to cultural distance. Besides overlooking potentially better markets, they may only superficially analyze real differences that put them at a disadvantage.
