Determinants Of Market Selection
6. An organization willing to “go international” faces 3 major issues
• Marketing – Which countries, which segments, how to manage, how
to enter, with what information
• Sourcing – Whether to make or buy the products
• Investment & Control – Joint Venture, Global partner, Acquisition
Issues For Organisations In Market Entry
7. Ethnocentric Approach : Under this approach, companies market their
products in various countries same way as they do it domestically
Polycentric Approach : A company following this orientation gives an
equal importance to every country’s domestic market, as there is a
belief in uniqueness of every market and its need to be addressed in
an individual way
Regiocentric Approach : In this approach segmentation of the markets
is fulfilled on the basis of similarities in terms of regions. A company
finds economic, cultural or political similarities among regions in order
to cover the similar needs of potential consumers
Geocentric Approach : This orientation favours neither home country
nor foreign countries where the company operates. It is also called a
global approach the main idea of which is to target “global consumers”
who have similar tastes

9. Direct exportation means that the organization takes charge of shipping
goods to the international market
Sales to foreign:
Distributors
Retailers
End customers
Firms set up their own exporting departments
The tendency may be not to obtain as much detailed marketing
information as compared to manufacturing in marketing country
Exporting
Direct Indirect
10. Indirect exportation takes place when the organization uses a middleman or
intermediary to integrate the goods into the market
Sales to export company which handles sales to foreign buyers or
Firm’s exchange exporting services by distributing the other’s product
Exporting
Direct Indirect
11. The granting of permission to use intellectual property rights, such as
trademarks, patents, or technology, under defined conditions
When the company finds it difficult to export, and also not ready to invest
money in the foreign country, licensing could be the best option

Contract
Manufacturing
Licensing
Advantages Disadvantages
I. Profitability with little investment
II. Appealing to small companies that
lack resources
III. Faster access to the global market
I. Lack of control
II. Licensee may become a future
competitor
Example : Pfizer has
inked a licensing
agreement with Aurobindo
Pharma to supply finished

12. Contract manufacturing is the outsourcing of part of the
manufacturing process of a product to a third-party
Production of goods by one firm, under the label or brand of another
firm
Contract manufacturers may provide such service to several (even
competing) firms based on their own or the customers' designs,
formulas, and/or specifications

13. A strategic alliance is an agreement between two or more parties to
pursue a set of agreed upon objectives needed while remaining
independent organizations
In other words, two or more company jointly share resources & distinctive-
competency to achieve some business goal
There is no ownership right of other’s firm
Example : Indian company Claris Life Sciences has entered into marketing
tie up with one of the world’s top drug maker Pfizer to commercialize
sterile injectable medicines
The agreement helps the Indian company gain access to highly regulated
markets such as North America, Europe and Australia for it’s 15 medicines
Strategic Alliance
14. A merger is a deal to unite two existing companies into one new
company
Owners of each pre-merger firm continue as owners, and the resources
of the merging entities are pooled for the benefit of the new entity
Example : In year 2000, Glaxo Wellcome and SmithKline Beecham has
done merger and formed a new entity GlaxoSmithKline
Merger And Acquisitions
Merger Acquisition
15. Types of Mergers
There are three main types of company mergers:
Conglomerate : Nothing in common for united companies
o Example : Walt Disney and American broadcaster Company
Horizontal : Both companies are in same industry, deal is part of
consolidation
o Market Extension
o Product Extension
Vertical Merger : Two companies that make parts for a finished good
combine
Merger And Acquisitions
Merger Acquisition
16. One company takes over the ownership of the other company & combine
its operation with its own operation
It is an act of acquiring effective control over asset and management of
other company
A new company does not emerge from an acquisition; rather, the smaller
company is often consumed and ceases to exist, and it’s assets become part
of the larger company
Example : In June 2008, Daiichi-Sankyo acquired a 34.8% stake in Ranbaxy,
for a value $2.4 billion
Merger And Acquisitions
Merger Acquisition
17. Two or more firms join their hand to form a separate independent
organization for the strategic purpose of executing particular business
Example : Hero & Honda
Each partner retain its own corporate identity
The agreement for a fixed time period
JV-entity is managed by a separate management team
Active role of both the partner-firm in JV’s strategic decision
Advantages :
Risk sharing
Access to distribution network
Sharing of resources
Global market access
Joint Venture
18. Pharmaceutical Examples :
AstraZeneca and Bristol-Myers-Squibb agreed to co-develop and
commercialize two diabetic treatments
Merck and Schering have already produced a successful joint venture.
They co-developed and generated revenues from cholesterol
treatment Vytorin, in the market since last decade
Schering-Plough and Merck undergone joint-venture for the treatment
of nasal allergy symptoms. The new medicine, which the companies
had co-tested over the last year is Claritin & Singulair
Joint Venture
19. Greenfield venture is a type of venture where finances are employed to
create a new physical facility for a business in a location where no
existing facilities are currently present
Under this method, organizations obtain greater control over
operations and higher profits since there is no ownership split
agreement
Requires large investments and faces higher risks
Greenfield investment means using funds to build an entirely new
facility
This approach entails full control and no risk of cultural conflicts
Greenfield Investment
20. Despite of many challenges in entering the global market, it is the best
mean to expand the customer base & to extend the business
In deciding to go abroad, a company needs to define its international
marketing objective and policies. The company must determine
whether to market in a few countries or many countries. It must decide
which mode to prefer for entering. In general, the candidate countries
should be rated on few criteria: market attractiveness, risk, and
competitive advantage
