Download or read book Global Competitive Strategy written by Daniel F. Spulber and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-07-02 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globalization has fundamentally changed the game of business. Strategic frameworks developed for the analysis of purely domestic business necessarily fall short in the international business context. Managers and business students require alternative approaches to understand and cope with these far-reaching changes. We must learn to think globally in order to succeed. Global Competitive Strategy shows how we can do this by providing a unique set of strategic tools for international business. Such tools include the 'star analysis' that allows strategy makers to integrate geographic information with market information about the global business environment. Also introduced is the 'global value connection' that shows managers how to account for the gains from trade and the costs of trade. Aimed at MBA students taking courses in international strategy, consultants and practising managers with responsibility for strategic development, this 2007 book offers a comprehensive strategic framework for gaining competitive advantage in the global marketplace.

Download or read book Carrefour Enters India written by Markus Slamanig and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2012-05-02 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject Business economics - Trade and Distribution, grade: A, Florida International University, Modesto A. Maidique Campus, language: English, abstract: In accordance with Carrefour’s global strategy to show presence in all major emerging markets, the company entered India (Economic Times, Dec 31 2010), although the Indian government is still following strict regulations for foreign companies. No foreign direct investment (FDI) is allowed in the so-called multi-brand retail category, that is, organized retail that sell multiple-brands to end-consumers (Chari, Raghavan, 2011). However, there are no such obstacles for the so-called cash&carry retail category, which refers to wholesale retail; thus, foreign companies are allowed to sell goods and merchandise to other retailers, to industrial, commercial, institutional, or other professional business users, or to other wholesalers (Chari, Raghavan, 2011). Given this situation, Carrefour used an approach to set-up a cash & carry format store to circumvent the barriers imposed by the government (Economic Times, Dec 31 2010). The store is located in Delhi, has opened in December 2010 and sells over 10,000 products in both, the food and non-food category (Economic Times, Dec 31 2010). Using this as a first step, Carrefour will be able to learn and understand the specificities of the Indian market and use the store as a hub for further expansion throughout the market (Economic Times, Dec 31 2010).

Download or read book Global Strategy written by Vinod K. Jain and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-15 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global Strategy: Competing in the Connected Economy details how firms enter, compete and grow in foreign markets. Jain moves away from the traditional focus on developed countries and their multinational enterprises, instead focusing on both developed and emerging economies, as well as their interaction in an increasingly connected world. As the current global business environment is increasingly shaped—and connected—by faster technological developments, geopolitical forces, emerging economies, and new multinationals from those economies, this highly charged dynamic provides rich opportunity to revisit mainstream paradigms in globalization, innovation, and global strategy. The book rises to the challenge, exploring new competitive phenomena, new business models, and new strategies. Rich illustrations, real-world examples, and case data, provide students and executives with the insights necessary to connect, compete, and grow in a globalized business environment. This bold book succinctly covers strategy models and implementation for a range of global players, providing students of strategy and international business with a rich understanding of the contemporary business environment. For access to additional materials, including Powerpoint slides, a list of suggested cases, and sample syllabus, please contact Vinod Jain ([email protected]).

Download or read book Global Strategies in Retailing written by John Dawson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Large and medium sized retailers have increased their international operations substantially over the last 25 years. This is evident in: the number of countries to which these retailers expand; the growing international sales of retailers; and the heightening of the level of commitment of retailers to their international activity – a trend that is likely to continue over the next decade as general globalization in the service industries increases. The managerial implications of the moves to become global are considerable. Different retailers are pursuing different approaches, to varying degrees of success and are no longer simply multi-national, but are also multi-continental. Consequently, existing concepts and theories of international business fit uneasily in explanations of international retailing, so new corporate strategies need to be explored. Featuring in-depth studies of seven retailers, by international scholars from Japan, the UK and Sweden, Global Strategies in Retailing explores recent developments in strategy that are related to international retailing and in particular, the emergence of a Global Portfolio Strategy. As such, this book will be important reading for all international business and retailing students and academics researching in these areas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Retail is the essential link between production and consumption. The dynamics of a nation’s economy cannot be fully understood without a good understanding of its retail sector. This book is written to achieve three broad objectives. First, it provides a comprehensive assessment of the changes in consumption patterns in China, the current size of the Chinese consumer market, and the regional variations. Second, it presents an interpretation of the changes in the country’s regulatory system and the corresponding policy initiatives, including the new state spatial strategies devised after its admission to the WTO. Third, it delivers a systematic analysis of the transformation of China’s retail sector. This includes the entry and expansion of foreign retailers, the development of indigenous retail chains as a national strategy to modernize China’s retail industry, and the changing retailer-supplier relations. This book is a useful reference not only for university students and faculty researchers, but also for international retailers and commercial real estate developers who contemplate business and investment opportunities in China.
