Foreign Market Selection Model - Macro and Micro Factors Influencing Entry Strategies

This model provides a strategic framework for selecting foreign markets, considering macro-level research on market potential and micro-level research on specific factors affecting the product. It evaluates existing and potential competition, ease of entry, reliability of information, sales projections, cost of entry, and profit potential, among others. The model also considers general market factors, such as growth trends, cultural acceptance, market size, taxes and duties, and the state of development. It assists in identifying target markets, prioritizing countries, and assessing business and political risks. Various entry strategies, including trading companies, exporting, licensing, manufacturing, and joint ventures, are evaluated based on external and internal criteria, time orientation, and market potential. The model guides the decision-making process by providing strategic parameters and an entry plan, including motivation, mode of entry, site selection, operational and resources implementation, competitor analysis, market intelligence, and IP protection. The regional focus, including the "Triad" (Japan, North America, Europe), emerging markets (Latin America, Pacific Basin, Middle East), and less developing regions, is also taken into consideration.
