The document discusses various international market entry strategies including exporting, licensing, partnering, acquisitions, and establishing new subsidiaries. Exporting provides low risk entry but low control, while establishing new subsidiaries allows maximum control but is costly and risky. Partnering offers shared costs and local knowledge through a local partner. Successful market expansion requires evaluating each option's advantages and disadvantages to select the best strategy for a company's goals.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. Entry and Expansion Strategies
◦ The Five Common International-Expansion Entry Modes
◦ In this section, we will explore the traditional international-expansion entry modes.
Beyond importing, international expansion is achieved through exporting, licensing
arrangements, partnering and strategic alliances, acquisitions, and establishing
new, wholly owned subsidiaries, also known as greenfield ventures.
◦ Each mode of market entry has advantages and disadvantages.
◦ Firms need to evaluate their options to choose the entry mode that best suits their strategy and
goals.
3. Modes of Entry
◦ Exporting is a typically the easiest way to enter an international market, and therefore most
firms begin their international expansion using this model of entry.
◦ Exporting is the sale of products and services in foreign countries that are sourced from the
home country.
◦ The advantage of this mode of entry is that firms avoid the expense of establishing operations
in the new country.
◦ Firms must, however, have a way to distribute and market their products in the new country,
which they typically do through contractual agreements with a local company or distributor.
◦ When exporting, the firm must give thought to labeling, packaging, and pricing the offering
appropriately for the market.
◦ In terms of marketing and promotion, the firm will need to let potential buyers know of its
offerings, be it through advertising, trade shows, or a local sales force.
4. ◦ One common factor in exporting is the need to translate something about a product or service into the language of the target country.
◦ This requirement may be driven by local regulations or by the company’s wish to market the product or service in a locally friendly fashion.
◦ While this may seem to be a simple task, it’s often a source of embarrassment for the company and humor for competitors.
◦ Amusing Anecdotes:-A company boasted of lait frais usage, which translates to “used fresh milk,” when it meant to brag of lait frais employé, or “fresh milk used.”
◦ The “terrific” pens sold by another company were instead promoted as terrifiantes, or terrifying.
◦ In another example, a company intending to say that its appliance could use “any kind of electrical current,” actually stated that the appliance “wore out any kind of liquid.”
◦ And imagine how one company felt when its product to “reduce heartburn” was advertised as one that reduced “the warmth of heart”
◦ In China, the slogan was mistranslated to mean 'Pepsi brings your ancestors back from the grave', and in a culture where they worship their ancestors, people thought that if you
drank Pepsi it could bring back the dead.
5. Partnerships and Strategic Alliances
◦ Another way to enter a new market is through a strategic alliance with a local partner. A strategic alliance
involves a contractual agreement between two or more enterprises stipulating that the involved parties will
cooperate in a certain way for a certain time to achieve a common purpose.
◦ To determine if the alliance approach is suitable for the firm, the firm must decide what value the partner
could bring to the venture in terms of both tangible and intangible aspects.
◦ The advantages of partnering with a local firm are that the local firm likely understands the local culture,
market, and ways of doing business better than an outside firm.
◦ Partners are especially valuable if they have a recognized, reputable brand name in the country or have
existing relationships with customers that the firm might want to access.
◦ For example, Cisco formed a strategic alliance with Fujitsu to develop routers for Japan.
◦ In the alliance, Cisco decided to co-brand with the Fujitsu name so that it could leverage Fujitsu’s reputation
in Japan for IT equipment and solutions while still retaining the Cisco name to benefit from Cisco’s global
reputation for switches and routers.
6. Did You Know?
◦ Partnerships in emerging markets can be used for social good as well.
◦ For example, pharmaceutical company Novartis crafted multiple partnerships with
suppliers and manufacturers to develop, test, and produce antimalarial medicine on a
nonprofit basis.
◦ The partners included several Chinese suppliers and manufacturing partners as well
as a farm in Kenya that grows the medication’s key raw ingredient.
◦ To date, the partnership, called the Novartis Malaria Initiative, has saved an estimated
750,000 lives through the delivery of 300 million doses of the medication.“ ASAP

7. Acquisition
◦ An acquisition is a transaction in which a firm gains control of another firm by purchasing its stock, exchanging the
stock for its own, or, in the case of a private firm, paying the owners a purchase price.
◦ In our increasingly flat world, cross-border acquisitions have risen dramatically.
◦ In recent years, cross-border acquisitions have made up over 60 percent of all acquisitions completed worldwide.
◦ Acquisitions are appealing because they give the company quick, established access to a new market.
◦ However, they are expensive, which in the past had put them out of reach as a strategy for companies in the
undeveloped world to pursue.
◦ What has changed over the years is the strength of different currencies.
◦ The higher interest rates in developing nations has strengthened their currencies relative to the dollar or euro.
◦ If the acquiring firm is in a country with a strong currency, the acquisition is comparatively cheaper to make.
◦ Acquisition is a good entry strategy to choose when scale is needed, which is particularly the case in certain industries
(e.g., wireless telecommunications).
◦ Acquisition is also a good strategy when an industry is consolidating.
◦ Nonetheless, acquisitions are risky.
◦ Many studies have shown that between 40 percent and 60 percent of all acquisitions fail to increase the market value
of the acquired company by more than the amount invested.“,”
8. New, Wholly Owned Subsidiary
◦ The process of establishing of a new, wholly owned subsidiary (also called a greenfield
venture) is often complex and potentially costly, but it affords the firm maximum
control and has the most potential to provide above-average returns.
◦ The costs and risks are high given the costs of establishing a new business operation
in a new country.
◦ The firm may have to acquire the knowledge and expertise of the existing market by
hiring either host-country nationals—possibly from competitive firms—or costly
consultants.
◦ An advantage is that the firm retains control of all its operations
9. Cooperative Strategies in Asia
◦ Cooperative Strategy refers to a planning strategy in which two or more firms work together in order
to achieve a common objective.
◦ Several companies apply cooperative strategies to increase their profits through cooperation with
other companies that stop being competitors.
◦ A cooperative strategy gives a company advantages, specially to companies that have a lack of
competitiveness, Know how or resources.
◦ This strategy gives to the company the possibility to fulfill the lack of Cooperative strategy also offers
access to new and wider market to companies and the possibility of learning through cooperation.
◦ Cooperative strategy has been recently applied by companies that want to open their markets and
have a liberalist vision of negotiation through cooperation

in Table :
◦ Market Expansion Strategies
◦
COUNTRY
Market
Concentration Diversification
Concentration Narrow Focus Country focus
Diversification Country

Global
Diversification
13. ◦ Strategy 1, country and market concentration, involves targeting a limited number of
customer segments in a few countries.
◦ This is typically a starting point for most companies. It matches company resources and
investment needs.
◦ In strategy 2, country concentration and market diversification, a company serves many
markets in a few countries.
◦ This strategy was implemented by many European companies that remained in Europe and
sought growth by expanding into new markets. I
