Task description & requirements
This assessment builds on the report you submitted for assessment 2. Based on the scenario you selected, as well as feedback from your assessment 2 submission and the ongoing research and analysis you have been conducting for your Market Entry Plan, your second report to your firm’s senior management team is to focus on your applied understanding of how firms investigate countries, markets and industries for potential internationalisation opportunities and how relevant international trade and investment theory and concepts explain such strategies.
For this assessment, you need to complete the following tasks:
- What conclusions have you reached about suitable market entry options for your firm? How and why? In answering the question, you need to discuss the relevant international trade and investment theories, concepts, processes and research that help explain and support the internationalisation strategy you will recommend for your firm. [9 Marks]
- Discuss the factors that need to be considered when developing criteria for selecting suitable strategic business partners and determining sales potential, for your firm to realise the Market Entry Plan you recommend. [6 Marks]
