Overview

In this Module we will explore the various ways that businesses can enter foreign markets – and there are a variety from which to choose. Each strategy has its advantages and disadvantages and sometimes it works but other times … well, not so much! Often times it is not the product or service that is a failure, but the ability to replicate success on an international scale has eluded some VERY big names … WalMart, Coke, McDonalds.
