Discuss the methods firms can use to
enter new global markets.
Answer:
Firms can enter new foreign markets in the
following ways: exporting products to the new market, licensing products to
local firms, acquiring or creating strategic alliances with local firms, or
establishing operations within the new market. Exporting involves manufacturing
products in a firm’s home country and shipping them to a foreign market.
Licensing arrangements allow a local firm in the new market to manufacture and
distribute a foreign firm’s products. Strategic alliances are cooperative
arrangements between two firms in which they agree to share resources to
accomplish a mutually desirable goal. Acquisitions of local firms made by
foreign firms to enter a new international market are called cross-border
acquisitions. When a company creates a wholly owned subsidiary in a foreign country,
it makes a direct investment to establish a business that it solely owns and
controls there.
