Summary:
International expansion can end up with the creation of one or
various sales delegations wherefrom, by area, the commissioned
representatives are controlled. The next step for successful commercial
delegations is not necessarily to finish manufacturing the product on the
spot. The considerations that have to be taken into account before
productive investments surpass commercial decisions.
Various legal ways exist for their establishment, all of which are
destined to assure a solid presence with a rigorous tax control and
protection of the parent company. We will analyze the three most frequent
cases for establishment from a commercial perspective:
- Branch of a foreign company
- Subsidiary
- Joint ventures
An analysis of the risk factors that influence those companies
with multinational operations in order to protect them against possible
compulsory purchase or by government take over.
The company should to develop a rigorous analysis of the risk factors that influence those companies
with multinational operations in order to protect them against possible
compulsory purchase or by government take over.
Establishing a
company in the United States. One company is made up of 150 full time
workers and manufacture bronze statues that are on a marble support. The
designs are exclusive and using them, they make a substantial production of
each one; even though it is a gift item with certain exclusive value, they
are pieces whose originals were produced in large quantities. In this case we
will analyze eleven decisions taken by the board of directors.
We tend to associate developing countries with poverty and
suffering. This image is reinforced by the media because they inform us only
about disasters in these countries and present their people as victims of
circumstances beyond their control. The reality of the developing world is a
lot more varied and complex. In the first place, one has to be careful with
generalizations. For example, the situation in recently industrialized
countries like South Korea, Malaysia, China,
Mexico and
Brazil is very
different to less developed countries like Bangladesh, Senegal, Ghana,
Kenya, Morocco, Nicaragua, El Salvador and Peru. Besides, the situation in
the developing world is not static. In the last decades, countries in
Southeast Asia have gone through considerable progress in their standard of
life, whilst countries from Sub-Saharan Africa are poorer nowadays than they
were in the middle of the 1960’s.
The socio-cultural context of each developing country has prime
importance in the sale of a product. Religion, local traditions, history,
superstitions, all these form part of a system of values that are called
culture.
The process in obtaining permits or licences and establishing a business in a developing
country can be as long as it is costly. Much of the government earnings come
from such permits. The problem of corruption can also present itself.
Increasingly, the social balance of a company, demands new management
parameters of CORPORATE GOVERNANCE that are able to convert the
companies into real engines of development and well-being in the place they
are operating in.
The situation
in ex-Soviet Republics. Analyzing the current situation in the Russian
Federation (Russia) implies analyzing a series of points in a synthetic way, so much
so that probably the different points could be seen as headings. Analysis of the
process of
reconstruction of industry in ex-Soviet Republics.
Entities of a
multinational character like the European Union, the Inter-American
Development Bank, The African Development Bank and the International
Monetary Fund, amongst others, direct important quantities of economic
resources towards social and economic restructuring in developing countries,
so that in this way they can accelerate growth. Therefore, one is
transferring the “know-how” towards countries in need of this knowledge.
On finishing this part, you will know:
- The different strategies to follow in order to establish a company
in an international market beyond merely the sale of your products.
- The legal formulas that adapt better to investments, and we will
analyze the decisions taken by a gift products company that established
its commercial branch in the USA.
- The problems arising from establishing investments in developing
countries.
