Damar International

Case Discussion:
1. Evaluate alternative expansion strategies for Damar International in the
U.S.
 Damar must change their entire business model in order to expand further
into the United States. They would have to target the mass market, which
would increase cash flow and thus profits.
 Damar should seek bank loans to help them expand their business in the
United States.
 Damar should establish a communication channel between the United
States and Indonesia in order to provide timely order information.

2. How can Damar protect itself against exchange-rate fluctuations?


 Damar should deal in forward exchange contracts to avoid fluctuations in
exchange rates.
 Clearing Account Arrangements or Switch-trading

3. What are the likely effects of shipment delays on Damar? How can these
be overcome?
 Shipment delays can be caused by unstable cashflows, uncertainty in the
supply chain, or communication breakdowns.
 These can be overcome by seeking investments from institutions or banks
that guarantee timely payment to artisans and a stable cashflow.
Improving communication with US authorities and providing appropriate
documentation
