When determining whether to expand companies should look at
1) leading economic indicators for the countries where it operates
2) industry specific indicators (how is the industry expected to perform?)
3) company specific indicators (new products, etc)

The Conference Board Leading Economic Index is an American economic leading indicator intended to forecast future economic activity. It is calculated by The Conference Board, a non-governmental organization, which determines the value of the index from the values of ten key variables. These variables have historically turned downward before a recession and upward before an expansion. The single index value composed from these ten variables has generally proved capable of predicting recessions over the past 50 years.[citation needed]
