- Prepare a market analysis for the company (e.g., PESTL) (this is related to topic 1 above) and estimate the market potential.
- Which form of entry strategy do you recommend (e.g., export, joint venture, strategic alliance, franchise or merger/acquisition)? Why?
- Describe/develop the company’s or products’ USP for the foreign market. Explain why you think that the move will be successful. What is the positioning of the company/products in the new market? Why do you think customers will like it? How does the company differentiate from competitors? What are the most dangerous pitfalls of the move?
- Develop the marketing mix: Product, price, distribution, communication (4 Ps or 7 Ps).
- Prepare a first financial feasibility analysis of the move.
All these aspects will be taken into consideration when your paper is graded.
