5 EXPORTING 1. Exporting to Global Markets Exporting is the simplest and the most common mode of entering global market. Exporting is the initial entry, but it would gradually evolve towards more developed modes. Merchandise exports in the world economy totaled approximately U$15trillion in 2010, and 22% of the world s total economic activity. 5

9 EXPORTING 3.1) Indirect Export Several types of sales intermediaries are ready to collaborate with a manufacturer. They are familiar with and have extensive knowledge in local markets. - Advantage to manufacturer: Possibility of market expansion, Timesaving, etc. - Disadvantage to manufacturer: Payment of commission, No accurate information about market, price, consumer behaviour, competitors movements, etc. 9

11 EXPORTING 3.3) Intra-corporate Transactions Intra-corporate transaction is the sale of goods by a firm in one country to an affiliated firm in another. It is an important part of international trade. Intra-corporate transactions account for about 40% of all US merchandise exports and imports. Many MNEs engage in intra-corporate transactions - Advantage : Lower production cost 11

12 EXPORTING 4. Export/Import Intermediaries Export/Import intermediaries : The third parties specialized in facilitating exports and imports. Roles : Some offer limited roles such as handling documentation or transportation.

16 INTERNATIONAL LICENSING 1. International Licensing International Licensing is a contract/agreement between Licensor and Licensee. Licensor : A firm who has its own intellectual property (e.g. technology, work methods, patents, copyrights, brand names or trade marks, etc.) Licensee : A firm who uses the licensor s intellectual property, and pays compensation fees to the licensor. Compensation fees : Royalty 16

17 INTERNATIONAL LICENSING 2. The Process of International Licensing Licensor - Leases the rights to use its intellectual property - Earns new revenues with relatively low investments Lease Royalty Licensee - Uses the intellectual property to create products for local sale - Pays a compensation fees Basic Issues to be Considered 1) Set the boundaries of the contract/agreement 2) Decide compensation rates 3) Agree on the rights, obligations, and constraints 4) Specify the duration of the contract/agreement 17

Advantages and Disadvantages of International Licensing Licensor Licensee Advantages - Carry relatively low financial risk - Don t need to invest much financial and managerial resources - Obtain knowledge and information about local market -Take the opportunity to make and sell products and services with relatively little R&D costs Disadvantages - Carry opportunity costs (e.g. PepsiCo and Heineken in the Netherlands) - Potential conflict with the Licensee - Risk of creating a future competitor - Risk of misusing intellectual property by the Licensee - Carry opportunity costs (e.g. PepsiCo and Heineken in the Netherlands) - Potential conflict with the Licensor 18

19 INTERNATIONAL FRANCHISING 1. International Franchising International Franchising allows an independent entrepreneur or organization (i.e. Franchisee) to operate a business under the name of another (i.e. Franchisor). The franchisor provides its franchisee with name, trademarks, operating system, and well-known product reputation. The franchisor also provides continuous support services such as advertising, training, and quality assurance programs. Many MNEs rely on franchising to expand their products in global markets (e.g. McDonald s, Dunkin Donuts, Baskin-Robbins, Pizza Hut, KFC, etc.) 19

Advantages and Disadvantages of International Franchising Franchisor Franchisee Advantages - Can expand market to global markets with relatively low risk & cost - Don t need to invest much financial & managerial resources - Obtain knowledge and information about local market - Can enter a business that has an established and proven product and operating system Disadvantages - Carry opportunity costs - Share profit with the franchisee - Potential conflict with the franchisee - Risk of creating a future competitor - Carry opportunity costs - Share profit with the franchisor - Potential conflict with the franchisor 20

21 SPECIALIZED ENTRY MODES 1. Contract Manufacturing Companies use contract manufacturing to outsource most or all of their manufacturing needs to other companies. This strategy reduces companies financial and human resources. Nike, for example, has been using this strategy, and contracted with numerous companies throughout Southeast Asia to produce its footwear and apparel. 2. Management Contract Management contract is an agreement whereby one firm provides managerial assistance, technical expertise or specialized services to another firm. (Receive monetary compensation). 21

22 SPECIALIZED ENTRY MODES 3. Turnkey Project Turnkey project is a contract that a firm agrees to fully carry out all works from designing, civil engineering, construction to facility installation. Then, a firm turns the project over to the purchase when it is ready for operation. Example : Nuclear power plant, oil refinery facility, road construction, air port construction, etc. BOT Project : A firm builds a facility, operates it, and later transfers ownership of the project to some other party. 22

23 FDI (FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT) 1. FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) Exporting, international licensing, international franchising and other specialized methods allow a firm to enter global markets without investing in foreign factories or facilities. However, some big business groups prefer to invest or establish their own production facilities or factories in foreign countries (i.e. host countries) They also want to control all works (e.g. assets, sales, profit, human resource, purchase, procurement, etc.) with ownership. FDI is an ultimate foreign market entry mode for a company. 23

24 FDI (FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT) 2. Greenfield Strategy Greenfield strategy is a starting a new operation from new land. A firm buys or leases land, builds new facilities, hires managers and employees and launches the new operation. Advantages : A firm can select the site that best meets its needs; Local government and community often offer incentives to the firm because they want to create new job opportunity. Disadvantages : Successful implementation takes time and patience (e.g. time-consuming) ; Desired land may be unavailable ; A firm needs to comply with various local and national regulations 24

25 FDI (FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT) 3. Acquisition Strategy It is a strategy to acquire or take over of an existing firm in order to conduct business in the host country. Advantages : A firm quickly obtains operation facilities, employees, technology, brand names and distribution networks. Disadvantages : The acquiring firm takes all liabilities of the acquired firm (e.g. financial and managerial liabilities, labor relation issues, environmental issues, etc.) 4. Joint Ventures Two or more firms agree to work together with shared ownership for mutual benefits. 25
