Section One: Drivers for Global Entry I have selected Brazil as my international market. Global expansion is very beneficial for a business because its main goal is to reduce costs and maximize profits. This expansion can also be very beneficial to improve the company’s reputation and to differentiate it from other similar businesses. Further, global expansion helps a domestic business to find a low cost for production; more resources; and exposes the company to more investors, new markets, and other types of consumers. An expansion also allows the company to learn about other cultures and acquire unique talents from other locations that can contribute to the growth of the company. It promotes diversification and the opportunity to engage with different markets, to expose the company to new investments and talent acquisition. Businesses are impacted by global expansion, by expanding from the USA to Brazil, the company needs to understand that other countries have different cultures, beliefs, and habits. All of the above can influence consumers’ decision-making towards purchases and if they can afford certain prices. Therefore, it is important to understand how Brazil does business and how the
society feels about purchasing phone cases. Distribution and production can be affected by this expansion as well, for example, what is the cost for distribution to Brazil, is it more profitable to ship the products or perform production over there? If production is happening internationally, it is important to understand employment laws and human rights conditions, it will affect the country’s economy and generate more jobs in the new market. If the company decides the build a chain in Brazil, will this affect the environment of this county? Also, how marketing will be implemented, many countries have several laws and regulations when it comes to advertising products. Other cultural keys that need to be considered are language barriers, traditions, values, and ethics. “Understanding the culture will affect the ability to enter a local market, develop and maintain business relationships, negotiate successful deals, conduct sales, conduct marketing and advertising campaigns, and engage in manufacturing and distribution”, (Dunung, 2020). It’s important to create a connection with the new market before investing and expanding to make sure that this will be an appropriate and good fit.
