Theme: Comprehend the meaning of globalization regarding entry modes.
According to the (Cleveland, Laroche, and Papadopoulos, 2015), Globalisation is a
process of integration among companies, people & government which are residing in different
countries. International investment and growth is related with globalisation which is taking place
across countries. There is a effect on culture, environment & political system of various
countries. This is also related with economic development & prosperity which is affected by this
process.
According to view point of (Colás, 2016) Globalisation is laying focus on increasing of
trade and lowering down of process of various products as there are cost advantage which are
experienced because of this process. Globalisation is a process which is also helping in

enhancement of present technology in a particular country. It also posses a impact on
productivity and wage related policies of organisations. Globalisation is a continuous process
which is related with how a particular organisation is able to enter a market independently and
make use of benefits and opportunities prevailing in that particular market. With the changing
scenario it has become more imperative or companies that they are adopting polices related to
globalisation in a m ore appropriate manner.
According to (Olimpia, and Stela, 2017), Globalisation consists of some social,
economic and political changes. Globalisation is accelerating various commodities and new
innovation across boundaries. Companies can enhance their operations globally which can help
in operations taking place globally. Investment is made by companies which help them in
adopting expansion policies. They face various social & economic challenges while they are
willing to enter a new market of a new country. Expenses done on various customer services is
also lowered down by companies with the help of process of globalisation. Another element
which is related with Globalisation is that there is free movement of labour between countries,
which helps in reducing the problem of unemployment in various countries. Many developing
countries are facing issues which are related with unemployment such problems can be solved
with help of process of globalisation.
Theme: Identification of different strategies for organization to enter into emerging market
from view point of consumers.
According to (Bengtsson and Östman, 2016), there are many different strategies which
are used by companies while they are willing to enter market. Most popular strategy is exporting
of products. This is related with how Companies are able to expand themselves across overseas.
Exporting is a tool which helps companies in growing as this is less expensive and also involves
low risk. This is also related with how organisations are able to manage their business. Many
times they face difficulty and this leads to loosing down of control on their business as there are
many different types of trade policies which they have to adhere to with regards to different
countries in which they are willing to expand themselves.
In view point of (Gammeltoft-Hansen and Vedsted-Hansen, 2016), joint venture is
another type of strategy which can be adopted by business to enter into international markets.
This is a type of partnership in which mostly there is involvement of any third party who is

managing company. Joint venture is very helpful in enabling of sharing of risks by companies.
This is related with business having partnership with other companies.
In view points of (Knight, 2015), Licensing is also one of methods which can be adopted
by companies in which they can use it as a tool to enter a global market. In this method company
in one country permits another company to use their trademark, manufacturing and other
processing. Licensing is also one of the best ways, so that risk with foreign operations can be
reduced as there is lot of competition as many time licensees become competitors and then it
become difficult to attain competitive advantage for them.
Theme: Challenges face by companies in the selection of strategies into emerging market
According to views of (Lingard and Lewis, 201) Companies are facing challenges
regarding selection of strategies in emerging markets. There are many strategies which are
available for a company and this helps them in facilitation of their business. Companies are
facing challenges regarding which strategy is best and can be implemented in their business. The
total amount of finance which is available with a company decides most appropriate strategy
which has to be adopted and how it can benefit them in long run. This is a element which posses
affect on overall decision making in a organisation. There are many barriers such as difficulty in
global market with regards to cultural differentiation as many times employees are not able to
successfully manage their professional and personal life while they are working in a company
which is planning for expansion in other markets. It is imperative for companies that they have to
identify various employees so that they are mobile enough to adapt to various changes taking
place in emerging markets and adopting them in a positive way. It is very essential that there is
presence of such employees in a company who can spread positivity in whole organisation. This
is also related with movement of a organisation towards a new country and how positively it can
posses a impact on its employees and functioning of the particular organisation. This can help in
minimization of various challenges which organisations have while they are willing to adopt
globalisation.
Theme: Impact of consumer perception on expansion options in International market.
In accordance with view points of (Potrafke, 2015) it is very necessary for a company to
make analysis on perception of consumer before they are willing to enter a new market
especially a market which is cross border or located internationally. If a organisation is having

very strong brand image then it will be very effective for them as they will be having a already
established positive image for their target customers. Many strategic tools such as joint venture,
merger and acquisition is very helpful in entering into a new market and minimization of cost &
risk involved in a new market. However, (Mandaville and Williams, 2015) has argued that a
organisation can enter a new market in a independent manner.
Perception of consumers is affected by market and organisation can improve the
perception of their consumers for their products by focusing on certain very essential factors
such as quality, pricing, branding and better packaging. All this is very helpful in having a
positive and strong impact on minds of customers. This will be very helpful in establishment if a
strong image in international markets by a organisation.
