Exporting
Because exporting is often the simplest way to reach an international market, most
businesses begin their international expansion with this strategy. The sale of items
and services obtained from the home country in foreign countries is known as
exporting. This technique of entrance has the advantage of avoiding the costs of
starting operations in a new country. Firms must, however, have a way to promote
and sell their products in the new country, which they usually do through
contractual agreements with a local company or distributor. When exporting, the
company must consider labeling , packaging, and pricing the product to fit the
market.
Another way to break into a new market is to form a strategic alliance with a local
partner. A strategic alliance is an agreement between two or more businesses to
collaborate in a certain way for a set length of time in order to achieve a common
goal. Consider how much value the partner could bring to the endeavour in both
practical and intangible ways to assess if the alliance technique is suited for your
organization. The advantages of working with a local firm include the fact that a
local firm is more likely than an outside firm to understand the local culture,
market, and business practises.
Strategic Acquisition
Strategic acquisition means that your company buys a majority stake in an existing
company in a foreign market. This acquired company may be active in providing
similar products or services in the international market, either directly or indirectly.
You can keep the newly acquired company's existing management to benefit from
their skills, knowledge, and experience while also having your team members on
the board of directors.
Greenfield venture
Give the company the best chance to keep complete control of operations, obtain
local market knowledge, and establish a reputation as an insider who hires
locals. Greenfield initiatives have the drawbacks of taking a long time to enter
the market because they must set up operations from the ground up, as well as
the high costs of doing so. Greenfield projects give the company the best chance
