There are several modes of entry into foreign markets: exporting, licensing, contract manufacturing, joint ventures, turnkey projects, and directly establishing operations. Exporting involves selling goods abroad without foreign production facilities. Licensing permits foreign companies to use a company's intellectual property in exchange for fees. Contract manufacturing has one firm produce goods under another firm's brand. Joint ventures share direction and profits between multiple participating companies. Turnkey projects involve a contractor handling all aspects of a project for a foreign client. Directly establishing operations requires finding a local partner and managing high risks.
