Content

The big question to answer in this course is:

• “What determines the success and failure of MNE’s in doing business
abroad?”


Before answering that we ask: “Why go abroad?” Make this choice and maneuver
going abroad.
- big firms like apple, Samsung… why do they go abroad? Reduce cost, profitability, using
international talent, innovation, acquire techs. Different reasons and objectives. Emerging
techs go to usa, firms in india to geo political reasons, etc. Many reasons, complex study.


Defining ‘international business’

• » At its simplest,IB is doing business across international frontiers(Buckley and
Ghauri 2004)
• » In practice, this is far from simple...many methods companies use to
coordinate business internationally.
• » IB approaches empirical phenomena of doing business across borders at a
variety of levels of analysis, using a variety of theoretical frameworks.
• » Most important levels of analysis are:
• » the firm
• » the industry
• » the country/institutional context
• » the global economy

, A. Incentives and Basic Benefits of International Strategy: by Hitt et. al,
2020 Cengage

 Incentives to go abroad and benefits that come from it. Location advantages:
example talent people, acquire talent.

B. The essence of strategy integration of plan and action




 To achieve benefits, use a strategy… First understand where we are. what we want
to achieve. Understand approach to our goal, its essence.

,  Success and Failure story of Starbuck in Italy

Starbucks failed in Australia and Italy due to strong coffee culture and sensitive consumers.

Positioning now in tourism places… now incrementally growing in Italy. Milan with a
unique strategy, Rome, Venezia and future Florence.

Video: started as failure and then incremental success in Italy. Starbucks is based on Milan
coffee house culture. Took them 47 years to open in Italy. Coffee moment, very strong
behavior around it.

-When better understanding ISM this was a strategy of joint venture, SOP activities.

 Netflix Study of Geo locations

Global expansion. Rapid growth, especially in covid. Perfect case of using the perfect ISM.

Competitive advantage
Challenges
(strengths)
Secure content deals region by region and sometimes
Brand reputation
country by country
Diverse set of national regulatory restrictions-> content
Original content
availability
Local language programming Recommended algorithm
Hesitancy to pay for streaming services. Extensive content library
Strong competition in streaming

Some challenges were and are still faced. With this they first went to Canada. Why Canada?
Neighbor country, standard behavior, language. Easier to enter, less costs.

Strategy implemented with challenges at hand.

 Three stage expansion: move close countries: location wise, culturally, institutions,
regulations.
 Partner with key local companies: Korean game, squid game.
 Developing country-specific knowledge: local language and content, expand to
other countries.


Why do firms need International Business Strategy?

 Effective and efficient matching of the multinational enterprise’s internal
strength and weaknesses, with external opportunities and challenges across
national borders: depends on conditions (in Netflix case they benefited from
covid) and a balance between internal and external.
 Create economic value while satisfying stakeholder goals: importance of
sustainability nowadays.
