Trang 2General purpose: maximize/make profit
• Differentiate products, increase price: add value, features, quality, service
• Achieve low cost
Key means: allocation of scarce resources to attain goals
Activity Value Chain
Firm as a chain of discrete value creating activities
Primary
• upstream activities, manufacturing
• downstream activities: marketing, sales, after sales service

Global Expansion Benefits
Earn greater return from distinctive skills, core competences
• inimitable or difficult to imitate skills in value chain
Realize location economies (choice of FDI location)
• create multinational network of activities (global web)
Realize greater experience curve economies, which reduce the cost of value creation
• learning effects, economies of scale

International Strategic Alliances
actual competitors from different countries
Advantages
• Facilitate entry into a foreign country
• Allow fixed costs of new products and processes to be shared
• Bring together complementary skills and assets that can not easily be developed independently
• Help establish industry standards in technology
• Allow reduction of operating costs,e.g., shared training, purchasing
Trang 7• Disproportional benefit accrual to partners
Making alliances work Which partner?
A suitable partner
Helps achieve strategic goals; brings needed, valuable capabilities
Shares the firm’s vision for the alliance’s purpose
Is not likely to exploit the alliance to its own ends
To select a partner
Do thorough background check from public sources
Collect information from third parties who have personal experience with the likely partner(s)
Spend a lot of face-to-face time with likely partner(s)
Slide
10-11
Trang 8Draw a solid contract with safeguards against opportunism
Achieve equitable gain through agreed swaps of
technology the other wants
Seek creditable, clearly articulated commitment to partner
Show sensitivity to cultural differences that
explain different managerial styles
Build trust
Set up framework for formal and informal face-to-face
meetings to create the opportunity for a common value system to emerge
Build an informal network of personal relationships
Learn from partners
Apply the knowledge within your own organization
Brief your employees on partner strengths

II Enter the foreign markets
Each country’s attractiveness to a particular firm
as a particular market depends on:
The firm’s objectives
A balance of benefits, costs, and risks
Timing of Entry
• Preempt rivals; establish strong brand name; capture demand
• Build sales volume; ride down experience curve ahead of
competitors; cost advantage
• Create switching costs for that tie customers to 1stmover’s products
• Establish social ties ahead of following foreign competitors
– important in high-context cultures
First-mover disadvantages; pioneering costs
• Time spent to learn dos-don’ts; competitors can learn from 1stmover
• If 1stmover introducing a new industry, it builds infrastructure
• 1stmover “trains” customers for followers
• Break through host country’s adjustment to “foreignness” issues
– Regulations may change as a result of 1st mover’s entry
Slide

Scale of Entry
What level of resources to commit?
What level of resources can firm afford to commit?
A strategic commitment is difficult to reverse
Has a long-term impact
Means that the resources cannot be used elsewhere
1stmover advantages and large scale linked
Small scale entry allows learning at low risk
Entry in small or large potential market may require the same level of initial resources
11-3
External or
“arms-length” Modes of Entry
Firm does business overseas without investing in owned assets and own human resources in target market
Trang 11• Intangible property: patents, inventions, formulas, processes,
designs, copyrights, trademarks
• Licensing agreement likely allows licensor quality assurance rights over actual use of intangible asset
• If licensee sells to consumers using the licensor’s brand name, the license may also give the licensor rights to strategic brand control
• Mode of operation is part of the brand image
International strategic alliances
Slide
11-5
“Internal” Modes of Entry
Wholly owned subsidiaries
• Firms owned 100% by a company in a foreign country
International joint ventures
• Firms that are owned jointly by two or more otherwise
independent firms; most IJVs are between two firms
• One (or more) parent firms are non-resident in the host market
• Ownership % may vary from majority foreign owned, to
50%-50% owned, to minority owned by the foreign firm
Slide
11-6
Trang 12May be slower to implement International
Allows foreign parent do deploy resources across more national markets at once
Loss of control over technology and managerial know-how
May impede global coordination
May make realization of location and experience economies more difficult
Sharing of profit "pie"
Slide
Modes of Entry
Entry Mode Advantage Disadvantage
Franchising Low financial risk
Relatively low development costs
Lack of direct control over quality
Successful international franchising requires considerable start-up and ongoing presence overseas (cost)
Is likely to impede, make global coordination costlier than ownership
Growth may be slower depending
on franchisee's intentions
Sharing of profit "pie"
Possible loss of know-how to potential competitor Licensing Similar to franchising

Exporting Promise and Pitfalls
Huge revenue and profit opportunities overseas “there for the pickings”
Large firms that are proactive about exporting may realize promise
Systematic effort backed by knowledge of overseas markets
Smaller firms are reactive and seek overseas markets as
an afterthought
Ad-hoc effort on an opportunistic and often nạve basis
Exporting involves huge volumes of specialized
paperwork
11-9
Export Performance Improvement
Government information sources
In US various parts of the Department of
Commerce
In other countries similar organization
Embassies and consulates have commercial
sections
Export management companies
Act as the export marketing department of firms
Experienced specialists
However, not exclusive
Focused export strategy
Slide

Export/Import Financing
Service that allows exporter to be assured of payment and importer to be assured of product
Banks offer financing intermediary service
Letters of credit: bank guarantee of payment to exporter “bought” by the corresponding importer
Draft or bill of exchange: instructions to bank to pay at a certain time based on certain
documentation
Carriers also involved in the process
Bill of lading: is a receipt, a contract and a document of title issued to the exporter by the carrier
Trang 15Media, communications means have
• made consumers world-wide more aware of their mutual preferences and
• have contributed to creation of world brands
• have caused certain market segments to emerge across national market that have indeed converged inter-market segments
12-1
Market Segmentation
The process of identifying distinct groups of consumers whose purchasing behavior differs from other groups in important ways
Demography, geography, social-cultural factors,
Trang 1631 © Nguyễn Minh Đức 2009
International Market Segmentation
Across national markets, companies may try to
Offer the same products and marginally adjust the balance of themarketing mix to appeal to market segments with similar needs across markets
• Market segments that transcend national borders also known as intermarket segments allow companies to offer standardized products
Adapt their products and the balance of the product mix to appeal to market segments with differing needs across markets
• Market segments that have materially different needs force companies to customize adapt their products
Adaptation (Local Responsiveness Pressures)
• buyer behavior (cultural, economic influence, brand perception country of origin idea)
• laws regulations
• local environment needs/development
• responsive to local condition shifts
Standardization-adaptation implications on marketing mix: Product-Pricing-Promotion-Place

International Marketing Mix: Product
Product: a bundle of attributes
Hamburger: meat type, taste, texture, size
Automobile: power, design, quality, performance, comfort,
size/capacity
Attributes need to be adapted to a greater or lesser extent to
satisfy
Consumer preferences/tastes due to culture
Economic development levels affect consumer behavior
National product/technical standards mandated by state
retail system: concentrated-fragmented
channel length: long, short
Channel exclusivity
International Marketing Mix: Place

Determinants of push/pull strategies
Product type and consumer sophistication
Channel length
Media availability
Push vs pull strategies
Push strategy: personal selling emphasis
• Industrial products; complex new products
• Short distribution channels
• Few print or electronic media
Pull strategy: mass media advertising
• Consumer goods
• Long distribution channels
• Marketing message can be carried via print/electronic media

Hiệu quả chi phí của từng công cụ tiếp thị
International Marketing Mix: Price
Trang 2141 © Nguyễn Minh Đức 2009
International Marketing Mix: Price
Price discrimination: demand elasticity
Strategic pricing
predatory (quick share-of-market focus):
• lower prices to drive competitors out, then raise prices
New Product Development
High risk / high return
Technological innovation
Creative destruction
Location of R&D
Disperse R&D to trend/technology leading markets
• High investment on basic and applied research
• Strong underlying demand; affluent consumers
• Intense competition
Slide
12-10
Trang 2243 © Nguyễn Minh Đức 2009
Integrate R&D, marketing and Production; ensure:
• Product development driven by customer needs
• New products can be manufactured efficiently/effectively
• Time to market is minimized
Use of cross-functional, multinationally diverse teams
• Span: initial concept development to market introduction
• Team composition critical
– Assign heavyweight project manager
» High status in organization; high power and authority
» Dedicated to fullest possible extent to project
– Team should have representative from each function
– Physical co-location to build team culture, communication and conflict resolution processes
• Clear plan, goals, milestones, budgets
New Product Development
12-11
Marketing Research Measurement Issues
Instrument Equivalence
must use measures that correctly measure the same
phenomenon in each culture; language key
measurement equivalence: “summer” in Australia different from UK, “middle-aged” in Somalia (life expectancy 45 - 50 yrs) not same in Scandinavia (life expectancy 80-85yrs)
metric equivalence: weights and measures

IV Manufacturing and Materials Management
Service and manufacturing
converting inputs to a product
Control the transmission of physical materials through the value chain:
procurement –> production –> distribution
Procurement and physical transmission of material
through the supply chain
Lowers Rework and Scrap Costs
Lowers Warranty Costs
Lowers Manufacturing Costs
Increases Profits Lowers
Service Costs

Trang 24Fixed costs relatively low
Minimum efficient scale
• Scale of output a plant needs to realize scale-economies
• Market demand must be sufficient to reach this scale
Flexible manufacturing-lean production-mass customization
Trang 2549 © Nguyễn Minh Đức 2009
Where to Locate?
Concentrate manufacturing if:
Costs of manufacturing are responsive to country environment (one location best)
Trade barriers are low
Exchange rates among currencies with impact on your
business are stable
Production technology
• Has high fixed costs
• Has high minimum efficient scale
• Exists in flexible manufacturing format
Product value-to-weight ratio is high
Product serves universal needs – minor difference in
customer needs, consumer preferences
13-5
Decentralize manufacturing if:
Country environment does not affect costs much
Trade barriers are high
Production technology
• Has low fixed costs
• Has low minimum efficient scale
• Does not exists in flexible manufacturing format
Product value-to-weight ratio is low
Product does not serve universal needs – significant
difference in customer needs, consumer preferences
