PART 2
Practical application of the Uppsala mode and discuss strength and weakness of the model and
also advice market entry by using rational model
Uppsala Model
It is the model that states about globalisation process for a business unit. It explains that
there is need to choose the nearby market first and then move to far locations that is the great
way to get success in market (Mathews and et.al., 2016). We found a case where the firm did not
follow the model. It is impotent for the Purgym to take decision to expand their business.
weakness
As we know that Purgym is services based company, and they provide Gym related
services to their customer (Rosson and Ford., 2016). This company cannot use this model
because this model is not applicable on the service industry, there will be no use of this model
for the Purgym, and they cannot take advantages from this model.
Strength
it can help company to take market knowledge before entering to the new market.
According to this process organization have to take knowledge before commitment and
according to their current activities they can take commitment decision for their company. If
Purgym use this model on their company then they can understand their position in the market,
and they can understand that they are ready to enter the international market or not. If is because
in the international market they will need huge amount of investment and better quality
equipment. This model will help them to understand when they are ready to enter the
international market, and they can achieve growth in the market.
Recommendation
Purgym has performed well in the JAPAN market, and they have expanded their
business in all over the JAPAN. They are able to expand their business more and their leaders
and mangers have good knowledge of JAPAN market, but if we talk about international market
then it is totally different from the domestic market. Purgym will need huge amount of
investment to enter the international market, and they should have knowledge of external factors
which can affect on their business. According to my operation they should try joint venture
market entry because it can be better and beneficial for them because tin the joint venture they
will do partnership with the other company, and they both will invest equally in the international

market. Two organizations can invest more than the individual and Purgym fail in the
international market then the other partner have to pay equally (Vellas., 2016). Both the investors
will share equally and if they will face any failed in their business then they will equally share
the liability and losses. Most of the organization use this strategy to enter the market because in
the entry they will have enough resources and investment. If Purgym will use this market entry
method then they can be successful in their business, and they can achieve high market growth
and if they fail in business then also other organization will share with them. Other market
entries are risky and Purgym be fail and suffer from the losses.
CONCLUSION
Report is about a marketing plan of Pure gym that help us to know how an organization
effectively develop their business and expand their resources. Their major aim of company is to
satisfy consumers and offer them satisfactory goods. Matrix help in knowing that company need
to provide proper information to their stakeholders to keep them satisfied towards their
organization and improve their effectiveness. Swot analysis supports in knowing more about
internal factors that play an important role in overall development of their products and services.
Marketing objective of company is to develop and expand their resources for achieving business
goal. Marketing objective help company to expand and develop their business towards
achievement. Strategic marketing plan need to be prepared so that gym is able to achieve their
goals easily and effectively.
