Once the company is convinced about the attractiveness or profitability of venture in the foreign market, companies looking for global expansion will decide on a strategy or appropriate mode of entry to exploit market opportunities in the foreign market. It should decide on a strategy to exploit the market conditions in a positive manner (significant cultural differences among different markets, companies need to adapt to local conditions and modify their product, pricing, promotions and other strategies to suit local markets). Companies similar to Starbucks looking into foreign expansion will consider export import laws and regulations in Brazil, including exchange rates and taxation.…

Canada’s New Way of Life Canadians went under dramatic changes of their identity throughout the 20th century. Throughout Canada’s existence has created quite a reputation. New factories arose across Canada over the late 19th and early 20th century allowing thousands of Canadians, including women, to find a job being able to support their family. The Canadian society saw a huge transformation of farmers, loggers and fur traders during the 20th century. New provinces were settling in as well as colonizing in the late 1800s.…

Canada is a country in the northern part of North America. Its ten provinces and three territories extend from the Atlantic to the Pacific and northward into the Arctic Ocean, covering, making it the world's second-largest country by total area and the fourth-largest country by land area. Canada's border with the United States is the world's longest land border. Canada is sparsely populated, the majority of its land territory being dominated by forest and tundra and the Rocky Mountains; about four-fifths of the country's population of 35 million people live near the southern border. The majority of Canada has a cold or severely cold winter climate, but southerly areas are warm in summer.…
1. I believe it is extremely beneficial for DeCesare to do the necessary research to determine why the expansion idea would fail and why it would succeed and discuss the associated risks. I would see how past companies have done in the area and pay close attention to companies currently doing well in the area. The order of 5 forces model would provide a clear understanding of how lucrative it would be to go into another country. This model would provide DeCesare with a clear way or organizing the buyers, substitutes, potential entrants, and suppliers in order to organize industry rivalry. “We must create local country subsidiaries whose structure, policies, and practices are as exact a replica of the U.S. Procter & Gamble organization as it is possible to create.” I think the goal of basing themselves on a successful company in another country may be too much too fast as they are marketing to a new kind of consumer.…
The situation is that investors want the Coe’s chain to grow. One expansion which was rather successfully done in the 1990’s into Canada and there are over 100 stores now. But they have one failed expansion into Puerto Rico a several years ago. It was a bad experience as many customers took products and did not make their payment so that managers can’t find them. After that a Coe’s share price had plunged so that time before to take any decision it is necessary to think twice.…
There are plenty of factors that will determine the success of our expansion, each of which, needs to be carefully considered. Global factors, including conflicts between nations may affect distribution. For instance, the war in the Middle East has obviously raised fuel prices, therefore raising our shipping costs. Technology will play a huge part in our marketing strategy. We want to utilize the internet to capitalize on sales and advertising. Sociocultural Factors are also important. Language barriers, for instance. Mexico's primary language is Spanish. We need to ensure the correction of our translations and be sure we have someone who is fluent and literate of the language to handle all communications with executives in Mexico. Competition is obviously something we are taking into consideration. Our team, here in Marketing, are working hard to develop new and exciting ideas that will knock out our competition. Economic Factors are also important. There is one main question we ask when researching the area: Can the area afford our product?…
The shared 2,000-mile border between the United States and Mexico had driven tremendous growth in the so-called maquiladora industry. The opportunity to use comparative advantage to achieve competitive advantage had not gone unnoticed by U.S. and other global companies. The huge U.S. consumer market was just across the border from an abundant source of high-quality, low-cost labor. And managing across the border was much easier than managing across an ocean. As a result, at its peak, approximately 3,000 maquiladora operations turned out everything from leather gloves to consumer electronics; from auto parts to semiconductors. Over 1.5 million people were employed and maquiladora operations were the sec¬ond leading source of foreign exchange behind oil. However, the maquiladora industry was under siege. The incredibly low-cost labor in China and throughout Southeast Asia was siphoning off foreign direct invest¬ment. In the past…

consequence of the above strategy is drastic. Turnover tends to be high. Employee loyalty as well as their performance drops. This drives down KFC’s market shares, limits its efficiency, and reduces its growth. Mexican Environments and Global Strategies KFC operates 50% of its restaurants outside US, mainly in Japan, China, and Mexico. KFC emphasizes on building company owned restaurants. The section will only discuss on KFC’s business in Mexican environment because KFC encounters problems and uncertainties here. Mexican Business Environment Mexico has a long history of close economy until 1988. When De Gortari, Mexico President, ambitiously strengthens free market, his policies attract many US businesses because of the neighborhood and low transportation cost. In addition, Mexico has a lower labour wage and capital cost. Many US companies realize these Mexican location economies and begin trade. As a result, total value of import and export between US and Mexico rises from US$82 billion in 1992 to US$149 billion in 1996. Anyway, the investment in Mexico is moderately risky because of the fairly unstable government, Mexican labour unrest, and anti-Americanism culture. Mexican Economy Economic stability is an important factor in determining foreign investment. In term of this, Mexico is poor in manipulating and controlling its economy. The crisis of Peso exchange and hyperinflation threaten the investors. The devaluation of Peso reduces the profits of the foreign investors in term of US dollar; and the hyperinflation reduces the purchasing power of Peso, and makes the market environment unstable. The cause of these events contributes to the rapid change to open market. Since the Mexican government just opens the market, it lacks the skills and experiences to manipulate and control market movements, and the existing Mexican regulations and controls are still immature and inadequate. Those economic events give Mexico 4 a valuable lesson. In the long run, Mexican…
