N.D.P.16).
Indirect Investment Options

The indirect investment option avails itself of two avenues: licensing agreements or branch or representative offices. "Foreign companies with patents, trademarks, or other intellectual property are free to enter into licensing agreements with local companies. Licensing has the advantage of limiting a foreign company's exposure, since the company need not set up an office or a joint venture" (Price Waterhouse Coopers. N.D.P.18). The branch or representative office "remains part of the parent company and is therefore not entitled to the rights and protections accorded to Chinese legal entities; however, it also must appoint a Chinese legal representative" (Price Waterhouse Coopers. N.D.P.18).

Pros and Cons of Direct v. Indirect

Of the direct and indirect investment options there are positives and negatives. The direct investment option allows the foreign entity to immerse themselves into the political, regulatory, and business framework of China's economic powerhouse. One of the most important distinguishing factors…...

references of Chinese customers. In addition to this, the company must invest in developing an efficient distribution network. It is important that the company studies the Chinese market and the purchasing behavior of customers in this company. The costs of this activity can be reduced by addressing the services of Chinese companies. The most important benefit of addressing the Chinese market is represented by expanding the business of SkinCeuticals, increasing the number of customers, and increasing its profits. The Chinese market can help SkniCeuticals increase its market share. However, the company must take into consideration the fact that there are certain risks in addressing the Chinese market. These risks are represented by the influence of the Chinese government on companies doing business in this country, and by the cultural differences between the company and customers in China.

Market Entry Strategy

The Chinese market is also addressed by some of SkinCeuticals' competitors. Therefore, it is not recommended to develop a strategy based on objectives like becoming a leader on this market. Such a strategy can become expensive. The objectives that SkinCeuticals must reach through this strategy are represented by improving awareness of Chinese customers on its products, developing a large customers base, and increasing its profits.

Regarding the marketing mix, SkinCeuticals should focus on the product strategy, which should rely on differentiation. The price strategy also requires certain modification. It is recommended to reduce some of the prices of SkinCeuticals' products in order to address the possibilities of large customer segments in this country. The promotional strategy is very important in this case. SkinCeuticals should develop this strategy based on TV and radio commercials, and on purchasing advertising space in certain newspapers and magazines. The distribution strategy should focus on identifying flexible distributors with access in large commercial complexes.

Growth Strategy
Market Entry Strategy

There are a number of different options for the market entry strategy. These include licensing, joint venture and direct investment. For Target there are a number of considerations to make. First, the company just utilized the direct investment strategy in Canada, buying the real estate assets of a large chain of discount stores that went under. This move gave Target a large real estate footprint with which to work. Theoretically, that should have helped the company with things like economies of scale, but instead it was too big for Target to manage and the company suffered massive stockouts that may have set it back in that country years (Shaw, 2014). Target can view this one of two ways -- either it learned something from the experience and can enter the UK market most effectively via direct investment, or it should avoid direct investment and find a…...

Strategy Development
A directional strategy is a strategy to take the organization in a specific direction. For example Pepsi bought a ussian diary as part of its strategy to create a $20 billion nutrition business. This is not related to market conditions as such, just a focus on growing an area of business. In contrast, an adaptive strategy is one where the company needs a strategy to adjust to some sort of change in the marketplace. An example of this would be an old-school grocery store adding more organic foods to its shelves in response to that market trend.

A market entry strategy is a strategy used to enter a market. There are several of these: exporting, licensing, joint venture, and direct investment (QuickMBA, 2010). These work for entering new domestic markets as well. New products or changes to existing products would also qualify, perhaps, as entering a new market. All strategy…...

Leadership is in short supply in Chinese business, so Coca-Cola has relied on foreign managers, even those from Taiwan or Hong Kong, to bring expertise. This has proven to be a challenge anyway, as the chlorine issue highlights, as there is a lack of experience at the plant level and problems like that occur. Thankfully, the company has enough foreign talent in place to ensure that issues like that are dealt with quickly and effectively.

Amazon's Strategy In India
Amazon has one of the most successful strategies that has developed in the last couple generations of contemporary business models. Their use of a "customer-centric" perspective, new distribution channels, and technology as core competencies have fueled an impressive growth rate in many new niches. Yet, despite many successful strategies initiatives that Amazon has developed thus far, the international sphere as a channel of expansion has produced mixed results. The case presents an overview of Amazon's efforts to enter the Indian market and the factors that are within the country and the culture that the company will have to navigate in order to overcome many challenges related to these circumstances.

For example, organized retail only represents a small portion of India's total retail market and therefore, for Amazon's strategy to work, the company will have to develop this market segment while simultaneously positioning itself at the center of this…...

For this type of customers, Diesel should create a special line of clothing items, different from the one for the primary target customers. For the primary target customers the central piece is the jeans. For the secondary target customers Diesel designers should combine jeans with other clothing items that are best suitable for 25-35 aged customers, that have good jobs and that are present in high social circles. For the secondary target customers the price should be significantly higher than the price for the primary target customers. The secondary target customers are trying to buy a certain status together with the clothing items they buy, so the higher the price of the clothes, the higher the status they are achieving. Other than this, the price should reflect the work invested in creating these clothing items, which require extra care for the secondary target customers.

These new customers of the optimal industry are looking for their own long-term competitive advantage through better alignment and direction of their own resources.
Differences between competitors are significant and aligned more on quality and customization of products than on price or aggressive discounting and the use of promotions. As a result, price elasticity is a permanent factor of the market and also signals the use of more effective means of differentiation, including the delivery of exceptional levels of service and greater levels of product customization expertise.

Supplier Power

In the optimal industry there are also an abundance of suppliers, each with highly differentiated and highly efficient supply chains of their own, all ensuring perfectly filled orders. The supply chain then is the greatest competitive differentiator of the industry from the manufacturing and fulfillment perspective.

I will use AIDSCAP Nepal as my organization. AIDSCAP has a mission to reduce the incidence of AIDS/HIV among Nepalese sex workers. The organization is not competitive in nature -- it is not a corporate but a not-for-profit entity. It is funded by USAID, so there might be some element of competition for funding that demand it show results for its efforts, but ultimately there is not much competitive posture for AIDSCAP at all.

Strategic thinking is essential to successful performance of any organization (Goldman, 2007), so the leaders of the organization must set a strategy that takes into account the external and internal environments. This is the case even when the organization is not engaged in active competitive, something that AIDSCAP as a not-for-profit entity does not engage in.
