What is the FIRST stage of going global? - answer Market entry-
companies enter new countries using business models similar to the
ones deployed in their home markets. To gain access to local
customers, however, companies often need to establish a
production presence, either because of the nature of their
businesses, such as in-service industries like food, retail, or
,banking, or because of local countries' regulatory restrictions, such
as in the auto industry.
What is the SECOND stage of going global? - answer Product
Specialization- companies transfer the full production process of a
particular product to a single, low-cost location and export the
goods to various consumer markets. In this scenario, different
locations begin to specialize in different products or components
and trade in finished goods.
What is the THIRD stage of going global? - answer value chain
disaggregation- represents the next step in the company's
globalization of the supply chain infrastructure. In this stage,
companies disaggregate the production process and focus on
completing each activity in the most advantageous location.
Individual components of a single product might be manufactured in
several different places and assembled into final products
elsewhere. Examples include the PC industry market and the
decision by companies to offshore some of their business processes
and information technology services.2
What is the FOURTH stage of going global? - answer Value chain
reengineering-
companies seek to further increase their cost savings by
reengineering their processes to suit local market conditions by
substituting lower cost labor for capital. General Electric's (GE)
medical equipment division, for example, has tailored its
manufacturing processes abroad to take advantage of low labor
costs. Not only does it use more labor-intensive production
processes, but it also designs and builds the capital equipment for
its local plants
What is the FIFTH stage of going global? - answer creation of new
markets- the focus is on market expansion. This allows companies to
substantially lower their sticker prices in both old and new markets
and to expand demand. Significantly, the value of new revenues
generated in this last stage is often greater than the value of cost
savings in the other stages.
