business in international market. It provides various opportunity and detailed information
regarding the competitors in the market. The business can be expanded through various methods

the best method to expand the business because it helps to understand the market of other
company but the other author Lasserre, (2017) argue that merger is the best option to expand the
business because it minimizes the risk of fraudulent activities in the business.
According to the author Vellas, (2016) there are various risk associated with the
expansion in international market via the joint venture with Lakme Beauty. As per their views
