Export Market Selection
The process of opportunity evaluation leading to the selection of foreign markets in which to compete.

Identifying the right market is important
Target market decisions are antecedent to the development of foreign marketing programs and thus, cost of marketing.
The nature and location of its markets will affect a company’s ability to coordinate them.
Establishing bases at appropriate foreign markets can be a major dimension in global positioning strategy.

Market Segmentation
Breaking down the market for a particular product or service into segments of customers which differ in terms of their response to marketing strategies.
The firm can tailor its marketing policies to the need of each specific segment, hoping to obtain greater profits than are possible by following a uniform strategy aimed at the entire market. (Switzerland, USA)

Export Market Segmentation
Because of differences in the economic, cultural and political environments between countries, international markets tend to be more heterogeneous than domestic markets.

Export Market Segmentation
Evaluation should be done by means of: Measurability Accessibility Profitability Actionability
![Page 7: Lecture 4 Export Market Selection. The process of opportunity evaluation leading to the selection of foreign markets in which to compete.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013011/56649f155503460f94c2a060/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Measurability
is the degree to which segments can be identified and to which the size and purchasing power of the segments can be measured
![Page 8: Lecture 4 Export Market Selection. The process of opportunity evaluation leading to the selection of foreign markets in which to compete.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013011/56649f155503460f94c2a060/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Accessibility
is the degree to which the resulting segments can be effectively reached and served
![Page 9: Lecture 4 Export Market Selection. The process of opportunity evaluation leading to the selection of foreign markets in which to compete.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013011/56649f155503460f94c2a060/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Profitability
is the degree to which the resulting segments are large / profitable enough to be worth considering for seperate marketing attention
![Page 10: Lecture 4 Export Market Selection. The process of opportunity evaluation leading to the selection of foreign markets in which to compete.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013011/56649f155503460f94c2a060/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Actionability
is the degree to which seperate effective programs can be formulated for attracting and serving the segments.

Market Selection Process
Reactive Market Selection: characterizes a situation where the exporter acts passively in choosing markets by filling unsolicited orders or awaits initiatives on the part of foreign buyers, represantatives or other export change agents who indirectly select the market for the company.
![Page 14: Lecture 4 Export Market Selection. The process of opportunity evaluation leading to the selection of foreign markets in which to compete.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013011/56649f155503460f94c2a060/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Proactive Market Selection: is marketing oriented. The exporter is active in initiating the selection of foreign markets and the further customers segmentation of these markets.

Market Selection Procedures
Expansive Methods Contractible Methods
![Page 16: Lecture 4 Export Market Selection. The process of opportunity evaluation leading to the selection of foreign markets in which to compete.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013011/56649f155503460f94c2a060/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Expansive Methods
Market selection over time is based upon similarities between the national market structures of a political, social, economic or cultural nature, so that the export marketer expands from one market to the next, introducing a minimum of further adaptation to the product as well as other export marketing parameters.
![Page 17: Lecture 4 Export Market Selection. The process of opportunity evaluation leading to the selection of foreign markets in which to compete.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013011/56649f155503460f94c2a060/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Experience based market selection
Nearest neighbour approach Temperature-gradient approach
![Page 18: Lecture 4 Export Market Selection. The process of opportunity evaluation leading to the selection of foreign markets in which to compete.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013011/56649f155503460f94c2a060/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Nearest neighbour approach Immediate neighbouring markets seem to be the
optimal expansion area because of a high degree of similanty in economic, political, sociological and cultural standing. No need to adapt products.

Temperature-gradient approach
Cluster the countries as super hot/hot/moderate/cold. (Papadopulos&Jansen 94)
According to 7 variables: Political stability + market opportunity + economic development and performance + cultural unity +legal barriers + physiographic barriers + geo-cultural distance
Markets become poorer, GNP declines Economic indicators: such as steal & energy
consumption decrease

7screening criteria(Russow 1993)
+ Market size growth (Product specific) + trade + level of economic developments + population density + infrastructure +capital spending
![Page 21: Lecture 4 Export Market Selection. The process of opportunity evaluation leading to the selection of foreign markets in which to compete.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013011/56649f155503460f94c2a060/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Contractible Methods
Optimal market selection starts with the Total # of or a large # of national markets, which are eventually broken down into regional groupings on the basis of political economic, language, or other criteria
Eliminate least promising markets.
![Page 22: Lecture 4 Export Market Selection. The process of opportunity evaluation leading to the selection of foreign markets in which to compete.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013011/56649f155503460f94c2a060/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
In summary
1. List feasible countries (by preliminary screening)
2. Determine which country char’s are to be used and how to weigh them? 4 Types of variables are examined Operating risk Market potential Cost Potential local and foreign competition.
3. Score the countries according to step (2) and Rank them.

Market Selection Strategies
1- Market concertration
2- Market spreading
![Page 30: Lecture 4 Export Market Selection. The process of opportunity evaluation leading to the selection of foreign markets in which to compete.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013011/56649f155503460f94c2a060/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Market Expansion Strategies1. by market concertration :drawn by power of market
specialization scale&market peretration greater market knowledge higher degree of control
2. by market spreading: based on greater flexibility less dependence on patricular export markets lower perception of risks and uncertainity
Product factors: Volume, frequency, diversity. Life cycle, repeat purchase.
Environmental factors: Market size, growth, stability, degree of market uncertainity, heterogerity, competition, loyalty of buyers.
Export marketing factors: Cost of sewing a market, nature of these losts, operational cost.
