Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 2,3, University of Applied Sciences Essen, language: English, abstract: This term paper will first of all give an overview of existing foreign market entry modes. Secondly there will be a description of joint ventures in general by analyzing typical motives and risks for using a specific mode of entry to internationalize. At the end of the second part, the situation on the Chinese market is discussed to introduce the reader to the concrete business case of Volkswagen and SAIC Motors, which will be discussed in the third part. Finally, this paper will provide an evaluation of the success of this joint venture on the Chinese market. Globalization, in recent times, has generated a lot of interest in the business world. More companies are now seeking to escape their comfort zones (home markets) and enter into international markets to expand their businesses. Internationalization has seen several factors as its driving force. More countries have opened their markets to foreign entrants through liberalization and deregulation of previous trade-inhibiting laws. Consumers, in most parts of the world, have also exhibited a homogenous behavior that encourages internationalization. Products that sell well in one part of the world have shown the likelihood to perform the same in other areas, which has motivated more companies to explore international markets. Other external driving factors are an improvement in technology and logistics. It is now possible for companies to communicate and track the activities of each of its subsidiaries or branches in the world. Technology has offered a business with an appropriate infrastructure that ensures smooth running of their affairs worldwide. Some products also exhibit shorter life cycles; thus, limiting the amount a company can produce. Internationalization offers such company's ability to produce more by expanding their reach beyond local/home markets. Expansion into international markets by a company is motivated by several factors. One of the major factors is to spur growth and increase profitability. Many companies are seeking to enter into foreign markets to expand their influence and increase their sales and revenue. Internationalization for such companies means an access to a wider customer base, which implies more product sales and more revenues. Expanding the size and scope helps achieve the economies of scale.

Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2003 in the subject Business economics - Trade and Distribution, grade: 1,7 (A-), University of Glamorgan, course: International Business and Export Management, language: English, abstract: The People’s Republic of China (PRC) is the last Communist State in the world (Roberts and Kynge, 2003). Mao Zedong, the leader from 1949 until 1976, pursued a radical politicsorientated and self-sustained policy, which “had China’s door closed in front of the foreign countries” (Yahoo! Inc., 2003). Deng Xiaoping succeeded Mao Zedong and launched his economic reform programme, called the “Open Door” policy, in 1978, which encouraged foreign investment (Yahoo! Inc., 2003). This was the beginning of a new era for China. A great deal of international investors tried to gain a foothold in China’s fast growing markets in the form of joint ventures or direct investment. This paper is devoted to the joint venture (JV), and investigates whether or not this form of enterprise is the ideal strategy to enter the Chinese market. After a short survey of the Chinese economy, JV’s will be defined. The explanation of JV’s is made under consideration of the distinctive features of the Chinese culture. A lot of enterprises and JV’s as well failed because it is not easy to deal with the Chinese. This essay reports about failures of a Western JV and tries to examine the causes. Examples of successful JV’s are described as well before concluding whether or not “Joint ventures are the ideal entry strategy to use when entering the Chinese market for the first time; it is a win-win situation”.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 2,0, University of Applied Sciences Essen, language: English, abstract: In the last years the globalisation has increased the competition amongst the companies and forced them to enter foreign markets. The development of a market entry strategy is very complex and has long-term concerns for a company. Therefore choosing an adequate market entry strategy is of great significance.

In the next chapter the emergence of possible market entry strategy for the Chinese market is checked. Therefore, the importance of the Chinese market will be shown at the beginning. Then the when and where will be explained. The fourth chapter shows Volkswagen ́s way for entering the Chinese market.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Worldwide foreign direct investment has grown at an average of 15.7% between 1970 and 2005 and still today is an important driver for the globalisation process. It is the large firms, however, that have been its main drivers. Small and medium enterprises do face high barriers when considering engaging in FDI activities and are more likely to fail in comparison to a large multinational enterprises. These barriers stem from the fact that SMEs oftentimes dispose of only limited resources, in particular limited financial, information and managerial resources and hence have a different attitude towards risk. Such resource limitations, however, can be overcome by the means of forming a Joint Venture. Swiss SMEs from the machine, electrical & metal industry desiring to enter the Chinese market through the building up of production facilities, however, face a dilemma. Their scarce resources with regard to financial assets, experience, time and employees as well as their lack of knowledge of the Chinese culture and business ways hamper their ability to effectively enter the Chinese market through the vehicle of wholly owned subsidiaries. Although Chinese JV partners are most able to complement the resources Swiss SMEs lack, JVs with Chinese partners are not without friction. Especially the diversity along the lines of culture, language and business habits between Sino-Swiss partners have been seen to cause frictions, oftentimes inferring poor performance and making the need for an alternative solution apparent. Singaporean firms appear to be a viable alternative when contemplating above elaborations. Posing as combinations of the East and West, they are in the unique position to potentially act as intermediaries along the lines of culture and business habits. Based on scientific literature review, this paper produces a framework and empirical analysis that allows an assessment of Singaporean firms' suitability to act as intermediaries.

Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: Since the reforms of 1979, the People`s Republic of China`s (PRC) economy has experienced significant growth. There is no doubt that this economic expansion has been a direct result of the opening up of Chinese companies to foreign investors. The number of sino-foreign joint-ventures, which are by the way a privileged form of investment granted by the Chinese government, has been increasing rapidly. According to Chinese statistics, at the end of 1998, Chinese-foreign joint-ventures represented approximately two thirds of about 300 000 foreign investment projects that were approved by Chinese authorities. In fact, among the developing countries, China is currently the one which attracts the most western investments. Joining the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2001, China pushed this development even further and while other countries were fighting a recession at the same time, it was able to sustain a growth of 7.8% regarding the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), 14.1% with respect to exports and 10.4% regarding imports. Consequently there is steady interest of foreign companies to form joint-ventures in the People's Republic of China. But whereas in the 1980ies mostly the huge corporations where entering this market, nowadays more and more midsized companies, for instance from Germany, are forming joint-ventures too. From the region Mittelfranken for example 320 businesses have developed ties with the People s Republic a plus of 60% from 1996. Many foreign firms are considering entering joint-ventures in China because this seems to offer the most attractive method for gaining access to the huge potential of the labour pool and market of China. Nonetheless, there are many warnings about the problems that have to be faced in order to establish a joint-venture in China. Chief among these is the problem of differing management styles between Foreign and Chinese partners. Very little accurate information is available about Sino-Foreign joint-ventures. An example is the wide disparity in the reports of the numbers of Sino-German joint-ventures. It is not surprising, therefore, that the majority of research studies have focused on identifying the number and the internal structures of these joint-ventures rather than on the practical problems of managing these businesses effectively. Beyond problems of identifying active ventures, research on Chinese-German joint-ventures is hampered by other difficulties: collecting data that [...]

Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2007 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: A (95% of 100%), The American Central University, language: English, abstract: Since 1978, Deng Xiaoping succeeded to launch his economic reform program “Open Door” policy that encouraged foreign investments. It was the beginning of a new era for China. Deng’s idea was to open China to foreign investments in order to acquire resources, such as technology, expertise knowledge, etc... Deng promoted a socialist market economy with Chinese characteristics. It means that a market economy with decentralized public investment and a socialist framework of the society. However, he changed the political system as well, decentralized economic decision-making, and began legal and bureaucratic reforms. Chinese economy has experienced significant growth. There is no doubt that this economics expansion has been a direct result of Deng Xiaopeng’s “open door” policy. Foreign investments have rapidly increased and more factories were established by offering tax privileges, such as reduced import tariffs or tax exemptions for certain imports amongst others. In fact, among the developing countries, China is currently the one that attracts the most foreign investments. Joining the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2001, China pushed this development even further.

This book was released on 2019-02-02 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A frequent choice for market entry to China is the international joint venture (IJV) with a Chinese partner. This is regarded as an adequate market entry if complex technological knowledge is to be transferred to the new location. However, IJVs also represent an easy way for local partners to absorb technological knowledge without authorization. Michael Hoeck investigates the character and the degree of technology transfer into IJVs, using the example of German industrial firms in China. The two central questions that are investigated are „What factors influence the sophistication of the technological endowment that an IJV in China receives from its German parents?“ and „In what way do strategic considerations regarding inter-firm cooperation and knowledge sharing influence the foreign investor’s technology transfer behaviour?“. The study results – derived from theoretical and empirical analysis – presents novel insights to both researchers and practitioners.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 2,0, University of Applied Sciences Essen, language: English, abstract: Internationalization of economy is one of the most important topics of recent times. It is characterized by globalization of the business world which means that more and more companies compete with foreign ones by entering new markets or introducing new products that are available everywhere through disappearing barriers and boundaries. As a consequence the question arises how companies follow their expansion strategies. A central issue linked to this question is the entry mode decision, because it is essential for the success of the globalization activities of a company. One possible entry mode is called franchising which is used by a lot of well-known companies worldwide. The focus of this term paper is to evaluate this type of entry mode based on the example of Subway, an international operating fast food chain. To accomplish this purpose, the theory of market entry modes is explained in the beginning. Further an overview of the different entry modes is given in order to highlight the differences between them. After that franchising as a mode of entry is explained in detail. As a result of presenting the theory a profile of Subway follows. Furthermore the market entry strategy of Subway is analyzed regarding the fact how franchising influenced the expansion of the company in general. After that the market entry into the Chinese market and its challenges is explained. To conclude the term paper, the theory and the practical example is summarized in order to outline whether Subway enters new markets efficiently and how franchising as a market entry mode influences the expansion of the company against the backdrop of the example.

This book was released on 2011-01 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this globalized world, more and more companies expand their businesses to China, and optimize resources utilization. There are many researches on what the barriers are, and what mode should be chosen to enter Chinese market. In contrast, there's not much study on topics like how a foreign company can survive in the competitive Chinese market, or how to gain more profit after successfully entering Chinese market. Since most high-tech companies use joint venture mode to enter developing cities instead of developed cities in China, the research question for the book is: does improvement of key internal strategic factors in high- technology joint venture firms which entered developing cities in China within five years lead to higher financial performance? The book uses deductive and quantitative methods to analyze data from 99 top managers in high-tech joint venture companies in Tongzhou. The results are found that sales and R&D have significantly positive relationship with financial performance; besides, integration is also a correlated factor.
