COMPANIES
EXPANANSIONS INTERNATIONALLY
Expand
Markets and Increase Sales
Expanded
markets and increased sales mean more profits. Profits mean success for a
business. They also mean that a business can make contributions to causes that
they believe in.
For
example, MAC Cosmetics is a business that increased sales and broadened their
markets in order to become more successful. This business started as a small
idea and eventually expanded to a greater establishment by going international.
This business in particular decided to create a fund dedicated to the cure and
prevention of AIDS. MAC Cosmetics really did expand their markets.
Controlling
Expenses
Every
business wants to have low expenses; so some companies will therefore enter the
global arena to minimize their costs. Companies will examine the resources they
need and where they can get them at the lowest price. By searching outside of
their own borders, companies hope to find more economical solutions to the
production and manufacturing problems they have. Business might choose to take
advantage of lower labor costs, they might move manufacturing plants closer to
natural resources, invest in new and more efficient technology, or profit from
another countries innovations or tax structures.
Diversification
In
order to diversify a company’s product line they may choose to enter a specific
international market. This will apply to both a large scale international
business along with a small company. Companies have a foothold in a number of
countries so they don’t have to depend on the economy of one country. Companies
engaged in international business can protect their investments and their
markets by dealing with countries in a variety of countries. A recession in one
county won’t have a huge effect if business is doing well in another country.
Competitiveness
Many
companies expand globally for defensive reasons to protect themselves from
competitors or potential competitors, or to gain advantage over them. In
today’s business environment, even a small business is competing with
international businesses. On the other hand, local businesses may find it
difficult to compete with the selection and price that multinational companies
can offer. If their businesses are too threatened, they may find wider markets
or merge with a larger, possibly international company.
