[B]MKT630 International Marketing -Assignment 1 Spring 2011 - Idea Solution
When a company decides to enter foreign markets, it must choose an entry strategy.
Many strategies exist with differing levels of company involvement. The level of
involvement is positively related to the level of risk and control a company wishes to
undertake. The diagram below illustrates this positive relationship. Several criteria
should be considered before selecting the appropriate market entry method.
According to Doole and Lowe (2001) company objectives and expectations, size and
financial resources, existing foreign market involvement, skills, abilities and attitudes
of management, the nature and power of the competition, the nature of the product or
service itself and the timing of the move relative to competitors should be considered.
