Summary:Evaluating all markets in the Asia-Pacific region is mentally and physically exhaustive, thus we propose ‘regional clustering’ to ease information overload and expedite decision-making.

Multiple Discriminant Analysis is further used to identify the significant discriminatory variables between clusters.
