Discussion Question 2
What opportunities create
incentives to pursue international
diversification strategies?
9
Motivations for International
Expansion

Increase Market Share
– domestic market may lack the size to support
efficient scale manufacturing facilities

Return on Investment
– large investment projects may require global
markets to justify the capital outlays
– weak patent protection in some countries
implies that firms should expand overseas
rapidly in order to preempt imitators

Return to Discussion Questions
Expansion
Click
Here

Economies of Scale or Learning
– expanding size or scope of markets helps to
achieve economies of scale in manufacturing
as well as marketing, R & D or distribution
– can spread costs over a larger sales’ base
– increase profit per unit

Location Advantages
– low cost markets may aid in developing
competitive advantage
– may achieve better access to:
• Raw materials
• Key customers
• Lower cost labor
• Energy

capital
infrastructure
basic factors include natural and labor
resources
– advanced factors include digital communication
systems and educated workforce

International Business-Level Strategy:
Determinants of National Advantage

Demand conditions: characterized by the
nature and size of buyers’ needs in the
home market for the industry’s goods or
services
– size of market segment can lead to scaleefficient facilities
– efficiency can lead to domination of the
industry in other countries
– specialized demand may create opportunities
beyond national boundaries
15
International Business-Level Strategy:
Determinants of National Advantage

Related and supporting industries:
supporting services, facilities, suppliers
and so on
– support in design
– support in distribution
– related industries as suppliers and buyers

International Corporate-Level
Strategy

Type of corporate strategy selected will
have an impact on the selection and
implementation of the business-level
strategies
 Some corporate strategies provide
individual country units with flexibility to
choose their own strategies
 Others dictate business-level strategies
from the home office and coordinate
resource sharing across units
20
International Corporate-Level
Strategy: Multidomestic Strategy
• Strategy and operating decisions are
decentralized to strategic business units (SBU)
Multidomestic
in each country
strategy
• Products and services are tailored to local
markets
• Business units in one country are independent
of each other
• Assumes markets differ by country or regions
• Focus on competition in each market
• Prominent strategy among European firms
due to broad variety of cultures and markets
in Europe

• product characteristics

preferences
• isolation from global
competition
– establish protected

affected by
differences among
local countries
22
International Corporate-Level
Strategy: Global Strategy
Global
strategy
• Products are standardized across national
markets
• Decisions regarding business-level strategies
are centralized in the home office
• Strategic business units (SBU) are assumed to
be interdependent
• Emphasizes economies of scale
• Often lacks responsiveness to local markets
• Requires resource sharing and coordination
across borders (which also makes it difficult
to manage)
• Historically prominent among Japanese firms

• Seeks to achieve both global efficiency and
local responsiveness
Transnational
• Difficult to achieve because of simultaneous
strategy
requirements
 strong central control and coordination to
achieve efficiency
 decentralization to achieve local market
responsiveness
• Must pursue organizational learning to
achieve competitive advantage
25
Using the Combination Structure:
Transnational Strategy

The combination structure has
characteristics and mechanisms that
result in an emphasis on both geographic
and product structures
– local responsiveness (multidomestic strategy)
– global efficiency (global strategy)

Discussion Question 5
What other significant trends have
been influencing the strategies?
27
Environmental Trends

Liability of Foreignness
– security risks
– tighter immigration policies

Regionalization
– location can affect value creation
– may wish to narrow focus to a particular
region of the world
– enter regional markets sequentially,
beginning with the most familiar market

Discussion Question 7
What are the potential overall
benefits and risks of international
diversification?
31
Value Creation Outcomes: Returns

International diversification and returns:
firm expands the sales of its goods or services
across the borders of global regions and countries
into different geographic locations or markets
– may increase a firm’s returns
– such firms usually achieve the most positive
stock returns
– firm may achieve economies of scale and
experience, location advantages, increased
market size and opportunity to stabilize returns
32
Value Creation Outcomes: Innovation

International diversification and innovation:
firm expands the sales of its goods or services
across the borders of global regions and countries
into different geographic locations or markets
– potentially greater returns on innovations
(larger markets)
– generate additional resources for investment in
innovation
– exposed to new products and processes in
international markets, generates additional
knowledge leading to innovations
