Recommended: The Strategy of International Business Management

My group and I had decided to create a heavy machinery industry that provide machines for agricultural or construction needs. With the merge I had decided to team up with john Deere and work as business partners along side of them. I have now been assigned to move my company international, which I believe, is very possible with the help of john Deere. I decided that the best place to go international with my company is china for various reasons, I will also talk about the what steps are needed to take into consideration before going international, and how I plan to be successful in a different country by using a business plan. By using these steps will ensure a safe pathway for international success. First of what exactly is international business according to Business dictionary international business is “The exchange of goods and services among individuals and businesses in multiple countries”. I thought about this and tried o select an area where our business could thrive and grow. After looking around I figured china would be the best place to put a heavy machinery business. Reasons why I would like to put my company in china is because the population continues to grow labor and agriculture will grow as well and mass …show more content…

The way I would be able to tell if the business was a success is by having the trusted member of my American team I sent abroad rely the numbers and keep in contact with me threw quarterly reports. Depending on the report feedback will determine my companies next move whether it be to continue to grow in china or pull out without causing any more damage. It is an extreme risk so until the business makes good money I probably would not consider moving over seas I think I would plan a 2-4 year plan that would ensure the business would stay afloat not necessarily boom with money but at least be able to obtain constant cash

  • A Brief Biography of John Deere

    542 Words  | 2 Pages

    John Deere was born in Vermont in 1804. His father went to England to find a job in 1808 and never came back, so he was primarily raised by his mother with his three brothers and his one sister. He was an educated man, and had always been fascinated with blacksmithing. At the age of 17, Deere got his first apprenticeship as a blacksmith in Middlebury. He was so talented, that with just a three year apprenticeship he was able to gain so much knowledge and start his own blacksmith company in 1825. Blacksmithing in Vermont wasn’t as substantial as in the West because the soil wasn’t as hard, so when Deere’s business wasn’t flourishing he packed up and moved to the West.

  • The Pros And Cons Of FDI In China

    1980 Words  | 4 Pages

    I believe that one of the best investments I could make would be an FPI (foreign portfolio investment) into state-owned industries in China. Announced on April 23rd, the government has opened 8 state-controlled industries to investment. I’d recommend FPI (as opposed to FDI) in this venture because, while China is opening these industries up, they are not opening them up for control. Still, companies like Sinopec Ltd., a large oil company, are up to selling about 30% of the SBU that controls its filling stations, a unit valued at over $20 billion. As the middle class continues to grow and be able to purchase more items (like cars), the huge population’s demand for necessary products like these will continue to grow. Companies like Sinopec are adamant that they will not give up any control, and that’s why FPI would be preferable to FDI when it comes to these industries. Another significant reason that I’d prefer FPI over FDI in China is due to risk (political, socioeconomic, etc.) These companies say the reason they won’t lose control is because they don’t want to have to change their operational practices. With FPI, these companies won’t get paranoid that investors are trying to change them. The previous reasons are very specific, but China has general policies, procedures, and trends in place (good or bad) that make it plain for investors to see that they are wanted, and business is a priority. China has an autocratic government, which is very efficient in getting things done, so it is more conducive for companies to work in. China also has very low wage costs ($1.74 per hour). Also, China has some of the least progressive environmental regulations laws, which lowers costs. China’s GDP growth rate is still at 7.5% (14th in the wor...

    China is not that. Wal-Mart needs to pack up, and head to higher or more common ground. They are fighting a losing battle in China that doesn’t make good business sense. The conditions to do business in China do not fit the Wal-Mart mold. Running the hub and spoke method of distribution is made to be very difficult because of three store limit China imposed on Wal-Mart, and many cities in China were not that excited about foreign retailers coming in. With the sever levels of bureaucracy to go through in China, getting a Wal-Mart center off the ground for each new store they tried to open become more arduous and time consuming. Wal-Marts big trucks on those tiny roads made for overall difficult logistics. Wal-Mart should realize they are not able to operate the in the size, way of logistics or type of locations that works for them. Instead of spending more money on R and D, invest at home and where the business model works. With the Chinese market the way it is, Wal-Mart cannot mitigate threats easy, or exploit opportunities because they are having trouble even putting their stores where they want. Great business model, sure, but some places just don’t work. Wal-Mart leaving doesn’t mean failure. Wal-Mart leaving just means re-allocation of success driven goals. Focus business elsewhere where the business model of Wal-Mart
