people, but today Scott G (The G-Man) is interacting with the
advertising industry.

IV. The Place
Some countries are geographically disadvantaged. Recent studies
have demonstrated how being landlocked or having a tropical
climate carry a hefty price tag in terms of reduced economic
growth. These unfavorable circumstances can be described as
"natural discounts" to a country's price.
What can be done to overcome such negative factor endowments?
In classical microeconomics, the element of "place" in the
marketing plan used to refer to the locus of delivery of the
