International Expansion
Export
• Exporting is defined as
the sale of products and
services in foreign
countries that are
sourced or made in the
home country.
Export
• Exporting is an effective
entry strategy for
companies that are just
beginning to enter a
new foreign market.
Export
• It’s a low-cost, low-risk option compared to the other strategies. These same reasons make exporting a good strategy for small and midsize companies that can’t or won’t make significant financial investment in the international market.
Direct exporting
In direct exporting, the firm becomes directly involved in marketing its products in foreign markets, because the firm itself performs the export task (rather than delegating it to others).
Direct exportingTo implement a direct exporting strategy, the firm must have representation in the foreign markets. This can be achieved in a number of ways: – Sending international sales
representatives into the foreign market. – Selecting local representatives or agents
to prospect the market. – Using independent local distributors who
will buy the products to resell them in the local market.
– Creating a fully owned commercial subsidiary to have a greater control over foreign operations.
Indirect exporting
The market-entry technique that offers the lowest level of risk and the least market control is indirect export, in which products are carried abroad by others. The firm is not engaging in international marketing and no special activity is carried on within the firm; the sale is handled like domestic sales
Indirect exportingThere are several different methods of indirect exporting: – The simplest method is to deal
with foreign sales through the domestic sales organisation.
– A second form of indirect exporting is the use of international trading companies with local offices all over the world.
– A third form of indirect exporting is the export management company located in the same country as the producing firm and which plays the role of an export department.
