Internationalization Strategies 
Lecturer: Cristina Robledo A.

Definition 
“Globalization is the process by which 
geographic constraints on economic, social 
and cultural arrangements recede, thus 
increasing our global interdependence” 
Branson, R. (2007)
Interdependence 
• Increased magnitud and intensity of global flows 
• Distant events affect local scenarios 
• Action and reaction across the world 
• Increased interaction: networks, telecommunications, MNCs 
• Supported by: 
– Telecommunications 
– Transport 
– Global customer demand 
– Knowledge exchange 
– MNCs 
– Institutions 
– Bilateral and multilateral agreements
Decreased costs

For the past 50 years…
5 key factors have boosted 
globalization 
• Governments have privatized and deregulated economic 
activities 
• Large multinational companies have replaced governments 
as the vehicle for economic domination 
• Industrial revolution has been replaced by information and 
services revolution 
• Advances in technology have intensified global 
connectedness 
• The rise in per capita income has created a perpetual cycle of 
consumerism

De-globalization
• Global financial crisis 2009 called for increased controls on globalization 
• Alternative ideology to neo-liberal globalization 
10 pillars (Bello,2009): 
1. Production for the domestic market 
must be the focus 
2. To encourage the production of goods 
at the community level if it can be 
done at a reasonable cost 
3. Trade policies to protect local industry 
(quotas and tariffs) 
4. Industrial policy to revitalize the 
manufacturing sector (subsidies, 
tariffs and trade) 
5. Measures of equitable income 
distribution 
6. Emphasis on upgrading quality of life 
and equity (not growth) 
7. Use of environmentally friendly 
technology in agriculture and 
industry 
8. All vital questions must become 
subject to democratic discussion 
9. Civil society must monitor and 
supervise the private sector and the 
state 
10 Mixed economies: community 
cooperatives, private enterprises 
and state enterprises; transnational 
corporations must be excluded 
11 Centralized institutions (IMF, WB) 
should be replace by regional 
institutions to work not on free 
trade but cooperation

Strategic Asset Seekers 
“The strategic assets are that set of goods, tangible or 
intangible, which the company has been generating and 
which have become essential to develop a competitive 
advantage in their market. We would be speaking of real 
estate patrimony, machinery, patents, marks, know-how, 
data bases of information of clients, etc”

Internationalization: why? 
• New markets 
• Diversified activities 
• Proximity to the customer 
• Cost related-motivations 
• Domestic market-related motivations 
• Survival 
Alternative Vs. Imperative ?
Key Benefits* 
International companies: 
• Sales 
• Employment: more and more qualified 
• Competitiveness 
• Productivity: companies who invest abroad are 25% 
more productive than those who only export and 
77% more productive than domestic companies. 
• More resistant to adverse economic cycles (?)

5 imperatives to become more 
global 
Gupta, Govindarajan & Wang (2008) 
Growth Limited growth in developed markets, potential in developing ones 
Efficiency Economies of scale linked to the scale of operations 
Knowledge Faster and cheaper innovation, lower risk due to knowledge transfer 
Customers Responsiveness to needs and preferences 
Competition First mover advantage.
Still Distance Remains 
Economic distance 
Income disparities, cost 
differentials 
Cultural Distance 
Language, social 
norms, , etc. 
Administrative or 
political distance 
Laws, policies, 
Geographic distance 
Physical distance, size,

Generic Global Strategies
Generic Global Strategies 
AAA Global Strategy Framework (Ghemawat, 2007) 
Adaptation Aggregation Arbitrage 
Tailoring 
Achieving 
products or 
economies of 
components 
scale or scope 
to suit local 
preferences or 
requirements 
through 
regional or 
global 
efficiencies 
Exploiting 
differences 
rather than 
adapting to 
them
Adaptation 
• Unavoidable to virtually all products 
Variation Products, processes, policies, positioning (Coca-Cola) 
Focus Without modification products will appeal to a smaller market (Luxury goods) 
Externalization Transfer of responsibilities requiring adaptation (Eli Lilly – drug testing) 
Design Flexible design to overcome supply differences (modularity) 
Innovation Improving the effectiveness of adaptation efforts (IKEA – Flat packaging)
The Globalization of Industries 
• Truly global industries? 
• Global vs. local 
• Global competition: 
– Cross market share battles 
– Global brands 
– Global distribution 
Local Global 
Oil, Passenger cars, 
Pharmaceutical 
Tax preparation, 
retailing, real state 
Furniture

Aggregation 
• Achieving economies of scale and scope without 
compromising local responsiveness

Economic Choosing to focus on developed or developing markets but not in both
Arbitrage 
• Locating separate parts of the supply chain in different 
locations 
• Buying at a low price in one country to sell in another

Which “A” to use? 
• The goal is to create global value 
• Many companies will focus on just 
one “A” 
• Most likely all of them will be 
considered at some point 
• Strong marketing focus – 
adaptation 
• R&D – aggregation 
• Labor intensive industries - 
arbitrage

Global Mix 
• Pure aggregation 
• Rare 
• It requires: 
– Global usage patterns 
– Economies of scale 
– Standardization leads to a sustainable competitive 
advantage 
BBaassiicc e elleeccttrroonniicc c coommppoonneennttss
Global Offer 
• Same offer 
• Different positioning 
• Core benefits are identical but a local 
message is needed to reach customers 
• Difficult to sustain – consistency and global 
expectations?
Global Message 
• Same message 
• Product adaptation 
• Customers with similar 
aspirations 
• Cost of adaptation is low 
• Global brand leverage 
• Risk: global customers do not 
find a global offer 
MMccDDoonnaallddss
Global Change 
• Pure adaptation 
• Best fit 
• Often linked to acquisitions 
• Requires higher local R&D costs 
• may lead global customers to confusion
