Why Expand into Foreign Markets? Gain access to new customers

Offers potential for increased revenues

Particularly when domestic markets are mature or saturated

Achieve lower costs and enhance firm’s competitiveness Domestic sales volume is not large enough to fully

capture economies of scale

Smaller European countries, eg Ireland growth has come from exports as domestic demand is insufficient to sustain growth

Why Expand into Foreign Markets? (cont.)

Capitalise on core competencies

A firm may be able to leverage its competencies in

foreign countries as well as its domestic market, eg.

Nokia

Spread business risk across a wider market base

Spread business risk by operating in a number of

countries rather than depending on its domestic market

entirely, EG. Downturn in the Japanese economy

Issues with Strategic Alliances

and policy changes could be more difficult as a

result of international collaboration. e.g. BT and

AT&T 8 months to find a CEO

Hidden Agenda? Is one partner using the coalition

to acquire the partner’s IP and expertise

Dependability. S.A. could prevent one partner from

moving along the experience curve

Global Pricing Strategies

Companies face many problems in setting their international prices.

Possible approaches include: Charge a uniform price all around the world.

Charge what consumers in each country will pay.

Use a standard markup of costs everywhere.

Global Pricing Strategies

International prices tend to be higher than domestic prices because of price escalation.

Companies may become guilty of dumping –a foreign subsidiary charges less than its costs or less than it charges in its home market.
