Zif, Jehiel. "Choosing the Rate of Global Market Expansion by Entrepreneurial Firms." International Journal of Business Administration 11, no. 4 (June 10, 2020): 13. http://dx.doi.org/10.5430/ijba.v11n4p13.
Full textAbstract:
This paper outlines a rational for assessing the rate of global market expansion by entrepreneurial firms. Many entrepreneurial firms are dependent for their success on global market expansion. This is especially true about firms from relatively small countries. One can conceive of two major and opposing strategies for market expansion: market diversification and market concentration. The first strategy implies a fast penetration into a large number of markets in order to achieve fast growth and a first mover advantage. The second strategy is based on concentration of resources in a few markets and gradual expansion into new territories in order to test the response before committing too much effort. The paper is updating prior work on market expansion, taking into account entrepreneurial firms in the digital age. Firms with digital products don’t have to depend on foreign distribution networks and they have new opportunities for fast entry into foreign markets. We propose a concise framework for determining the preferred rate of market expansion utilizing two key variables: the potential response function of customers and the complexity of the product. The paper include a discussion of ways to assess customers’ response to entrepreneurial innovation and additional factors that can influence the market expansion decision.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to model and test the dynamics of home-regional and global penetration by multi-national enterprises (MNEs). Design/methodology/approach – Drawing on international business (IB) theory, the authors model MNEs adjusting their home-regional and global market presence over time. The authors test the resulting hypotheses using sales data from a sample of 220 of the world’s largest MNEs over the period 1995-2005. The authors focus specifically on the relationship between levels of market penetration inside and outside the home region and rates of change in each domain. Findings – The authors demonstrate that MNEs do penetrate both home-regional and global markets, often simultaneously, and that penetration levels often oscillate within an MNE over time. The authors show firms’ rates of regional and global expansion to be affected by their existing regional and global penetration, as well as their interplay. Finally, the authors identify differences in the steady states at which firms stabilize their penetration levels in the home-regional and the global space. The findings broadly confirm the MNE as an interdependent portfolio with important regional demarcations. Originality/value – The authors identify complex interdependencies between home-regional and global penetration and growth, paving the way for further studies of the impact of regions on MNE expansion.

Full textAbstract:
Until recently, there have been limited alternatives and competition to hotels for leisure or business travelers who are looking for long term accommodation. Increased globalization of businesses and changing work practices are requiring business professionals to carry out their work away from home on a short to medium basis. Serviced apartments have grown in popularity as they do offer a different concept in alternative accommodation. What is presented as the most interesting element about this concept to investors is how it differs from hotel accommodation in terms of their product offering, the valuation considerations as well as their investment criteria. The paper seeks to examine the history and development serviced apartments in the various regions of the world and how the investments in this new sector has evolved in the creation of a whole new market. The article will present the argument that the innovation and expansion of the serviced apartment sector has boosted profitability, demand profile and competition in the accommodation market.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractStates with large markets routinely compete with one another to shield domestic regulatory policies from global pressure, export their rules to other jurisdictions, and provide their firms with competitive advantages. Most arguments about market power tend to operationalize the concept in economic terms. In this paper, we argue that a state's ability to leverage or block these adjustment pressures is not only conditioned by their relative economic position but also by the political institutions that govern their markets. Specifically, we expect that where a state chooses to draw jurisdictional boundaries over markets directly shapes its global influence. When a state expands its jurisdiction, harmonizing rules across otherwise distinct subnational or national markets, for example, it can curtail a rival's authority. We test the theory by assessing how changes in internal governance within the European Union altered firm behavior in response to US extraterritorial pressure. Empirically, we examine foreign firm delisting decisions from US stock markets after the adoption of the Sarbanes–Oxley accounting legislation. The act, which included an exogenous compliance shock, follows the harmonization of stock market governance across various European jurisdictions. Econometric analysis of firm-level data illustrates that EU-based companies, which benefited from jurisdictional expansion, were substantially more likely to leave the American market and avoid adjustment pressures. Our findings contribute to debates on the role of political institutions in economic statecraft and suggest the conditions under which future regulatory conflicts will arise between status quo and rising economic powers.

Full textAbstract:
Previous approaches to portfolio analysis in international markets focused on the country as the basic portfolio unit and relied on an assessment of market attractiveness and competitive strength to determine how to allocate resources. This article proposes an approach to international portfolio analysis based on an examination of the interconnectedness of geographic markets and product businesses. This enables management to identify strategic portfolio units (SPUs) based on market interconnectedness, as well as competitive strength, and market attractiveness. SPUs incorporating market interconnectedness enable management to establish directions for future growth and determine how expansion or retraction of the portfolio in a given direction impacts other portfolio units. Opportunities to leverage core competencies across portfolio units in international markets and to reconfigure portfolio units and operations so as to achieve greater synergies can also be identified.

Full textAbstract:
Korean fashion firms face difficulties in sustaining their growth momentum because of market stagnation and the aggressive entry of global luxury and SPA brands. To find a breakthrough, local fashion firms are adopting diverse strategies, including direct entry, licensing, and acquisitions, to successfully tap into the global market. Kolon FnC, which is among the five affiliates of Kolon Industries, focuses its business in the production and sales of fashion goods and clothing lines. Focusing on its strength as a leading brand power in the sports and outdoor segment, Kolon FnC is making strategic moves, such as diversifying its fashion portfolio, creating new value by collaborating with artists, and enhancing its R&D capability for new garment materials, which is led by one of its sister affiliates, Kolon Fashion Material. Under the leadership of the newly appointed CEO Dong-Mun Park, Kolon FnC is aggressively seeking talented young designers in Korea to differentiate itself from its global competitors. CEO Park strongly believes that talented young Korean designers can be a viable source of competitive advantage against global competitors. Since 2010, Kolon FnC has acquired several small-sized designer shops and fashion accessory shops to diversify its fashion portfolio and to create a young and vibrant brand image. This approach marks a departure from the strategic paths of its major local competitors, as Korean fashion firms typically focus on licensing or acquiring foreign brands. This case aims to identify the practical implications of global expansion strategies by analyzing how the Korean fashion industry has evolved and how Kolon FnC and its competitors have deployed different global expansion strategies in developing their resources and/or capabilities for future growth.

Full textAbstract:
Using the example of print outsourcing, the article examines the problems of analyzing and forecasting markets that significantly depend on the global players' behaviour. At the same time provisions of the economic domination theory allow, through highlighting the typical strategies of market participants, to identify a number of new trends emerging in the market and opening up for Russian companies. First of all, they have to do with such processes as transition to electronic document management, expansion of the sphere of product labeling and traceability systems. In addition, the 2020 crisis has resulted in creation of a new demand for organizing home workplaces, changing the requirements for IT systems architecture in large offices. Based on the case studies of the companies that are present on the market, the author draws up conclusions on notable changes in the role of large Russian companies in this market, including under the impact of transformations on the related markets.

Full textAbstract:
Learning outcomes Expected learning outcomes: To respond to the case question, students would analyze macro- and microeconomic differences to determine HC Securities’ preferred global strategy and appropriate market entry mode. The case demonstrates how instability in a local market, in this case Egypt, can force a company to go global. It also demonstrates how two superficially similar markets, Singapore and Hong Kong, provide different opportunities for HC Securities and require different global strategies: Singapore provides a jumping-off point to its predominantly Muslim neighbors Malaysia and Indonesia, whereas Hong Kong gives access to China and could provide a new customer base of Asian investors willing to invest in Africa and the Middle East. Case overview/synopsis Brief overview of the case: The case introduces the Egyptian investment company HC Securities, which is facing challenges related to Egypt’s political instability and economic slowdown. HC Securities’ CEO, Mr. Choucri, feels expansion to one of the Asia-Pacific countries could help with the company’s growth and stability. He identifies Hong Kong and Singapore as the most compelling locations because of their sophisticated economies and growth potential in the investments industry. This case provides information about each market, allowing students to respond to the question “What should Choucri do to assure a market-based solution for his company?” Complexity academic level Student level and proposed courses: The case is appropriate for use in undergraduate courses in international business or strategic management.

Full textAbstract:
Further expansion and deepening of globalization processes largely depends on the efficiency of functioning of such an important infrastructure element as transport. For several centuries, transport has been the leading link that connects national economies and their business entities. Transportation is a key area of the global economy that fulfills society’s vital need to move passengers, labor, and goods. It is transport that creates the basis for effective foreign and domestic trade, passenger and cargo transportation. The expansion of the scale of world trade, associated with the deepening of the international division of labor, led to the rapid growth of the transport services market, which was temporarily affected by the global pandemic. The article examines the peculiarities of the functioning of the transport services market in the pre-crisis period and in the global pandemic. The impact of the pandemic crisis on all segments of the global passenger and freight industry is analyzed. It is established that a number of peculiarities can be traced in the functioning of structural elements of the transport market in the conditions of COVID-19: secondly, rail transport services have been significantly reduced due to severe quarantine restrictions, reduced train traffic and a global decline in production; third, declining trade and supply chain disruptions have led to restrictions on road transport; fourth; the demand for passenger air transportation decreased the most during the analyzed period; fifth, the global market for pipeline transport services has been slightly affected by co-constraints and is showing strong growth. The gradual recovery of all segments of the global transport services market has been confirmed.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose A appreciable number of exporters have successfully developed their markets in foreign countries although they have little prior experience in those countries. Advocating that indirect learning plays a crucial role in explaining this phenomenon, the purpose of this paper is attempted to investigate whether and how learning indirectly from competitors and interfirm relationships enables exporters to successful expand their business into foreign markets. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on the knowledge-based theory of the firm and the late-mover advantage theory, the authors developed an empirically testable model that explains and predicts the effects of indirect learning on the success of export market expansion. The model was tested using a complied archival data set in regard to exporters’ market expansion events and international accounting. The sampling frame was the events of Korean exporters’ market expansion. Findings Empirical evidence shows that exporters’ indirect learning from domestic, local, global competitors and from interfirm relationships influence their success of market expansion. In addition, indirect learning from domestic rivals and from interfirm relationships has a more positive effect on the success of expansion into emerging markets than into developed markets. Research limitations/implications Because the authors employed an event-study method, the limitations of this method can be applied to the present research. In addition, because of the empirical context, the results of the research may lack generalizability. The authors, however, provided an understanding how an exporter can succeed in a foreign market specifically when it has lack of direct experience in the market. Practical implications The results of the current research suggested that an exporter should try to learn from local, domestic, and global rivals experienced in a foreign market in order to succeed in the market. In addition, exporters should be affiliated with business groups or partnerships because these affiliations can strengthen the information-sharing mechanisms. Moreover, an exporter should focus first on learning from local rivals and then domestic rivals in order to develop proper expansion strategies. Finally, an exporter should attempt to more actively learn from rivals and interfirm relationships when it targets an emerging market than a developed market. Originality/value Prior studies have emphasized the effects of a firm’s direct learning on market development success. The authors, however, filled a knowledge gap of the impacts of learning in two aspects. First, the authors provided an understanding of the effects of indirect learning on market expansion success. Second, the authors demonstrated these effects in the context of export.

Since the beginning of the XXI century, the raw material of non-ferrous metallurgy began to acquire new outlines. First, due to the growing demand for resources from the rapidly developing countries of Asia (China, India, South Korea), the volume of world production and international flows of both raw ore and ore dressing – concentrates have increased. Secondly, the concentration of countries that produce raw materials on the one hand and consume them on the other has increased. The article is devoted to comparative statistical analysis of international flows of raw materials of non-ferrous metals. The leading countries in the world exporting non-ferrous metal ores and countries importing them have been identified. The impact of new applications of non-ferrous metals on increasing international trade, such as the expansion of the production of batteries for electromobile and consumer electronics, the development of nuclear energy, etc., is highlighted.

Full textAbstract:
In the past decade, franchising has become a well-known platform for business expansion. Various strategies have been employed by franchisors in expanding their business into the global market. However, few studies have assessed the determinants that can be adopted by the franchisors in bringing value as well as opening up opportunities for global market expansion. This study aims to explore the determinants of global expansion based on Malaysian franchisors’ experience. A qualitative research approach was adopted through various case studies with ten franchisors from the food and beverage industry in Malaysia. In-depth interviews were carried out to explore this topic. Thematic analysis was performed through the “Atlas.ti” software package version 9.0, which was also used in analyzing the data. The findings indicated that there are four themes, and nine sub-themes were discovered from the grounded data. The franchisors agreed that franchise brand, business location, product, advertising, and promotion were able to influence franchisors in designing strategies for global expansion. The data were also able to provide an in-depth understanding of the determinants for global expansion that can be undertaken as a guide to prospective franchisors who want to start exploring the global market. These results are expected to assist the government as well as the agencies involved with franchising in improving related policies, strategies and programmes. Thus, it is important to understand these determinants in order to survive in a competitive global market.

The energy market and competitiveness make up a challenging and constantly changing scenario on the international stage. The emergence of natural reserves can contribute to a more advantageous positioning for a given nation to the detriment of another. New exploration technologies and discoveries of Shale gas reserves on North American soil indicate that the U.S. will significantly increase its production of natural gas. The Brazilian government, until then, attributed to Pre-salt a large part of its strategies regarding energy security and the expansion of its competitiveness. This study has the objective of examining the Brazilian energy strategy in the face of the international competitive scenario. The study is justified by the opportunity to understand the intricacies of Petrobras' strategic activities and to raise subsidies that contribute to the decision-making process of Petrobras in the petrochemical segment; as well as the possibility of a critical assessment of consolidated guidelines and possible conflicts in the scope of strategic actions in the organization. The study found an imminent need by the Brazilian government to promote new sources of natural gas as an alternative to achieving competitive production standards in the petrochemical market.

The current stage of the development of the international economy is characterized by the activation of globalization trends, among which one of the most promising forms of international cooperation, which has significant prospects, is international leasing. Today, leasing operations have become an integral part of the development and stabilization of the world economy. The growth and expansion of the global leasing market is a natural fact of the processes of globalization and integration of both production and the financial sphere. If there is a need to modernize the economy, the use of a leasing approach to financing investments plays a significant role. Being one of the most effective types of investment, leasing is widely used in all countries of the world. In developed countries, the total volume of transactions related to leasing has increased 5 times over the past 15 years. Leasing can be attributed to the form of financing investment projects, which has proven itself in global practice as quite effective for enterprises and in general for the deployment of the investment process The article examines the peculiarities and problems of international leasing as an integral part of the development and stabilization of the world economy. It was revealed that the formation and development of the international market of leasing services is connected not only with the intensive development of production activity, but also with the division of labor in the system of global economic relations. An analysis of the functioning of the international leasing market was conducted, which confirms its maximum convenience and flexibility for business development and expansion. It is shown that the growth and expansion of global leasing services is a natural fact of the processes of globalization and integration of both production and the financial sphere. It is noted that despite the global economic crisis, the leasing industry is constantly expanding, and leasing markets are increasing the scope of new business. It has been confirmed that today the world market of leasing services is successfully overcoming crisis situations in the world economy and demonstrates a significant increase in the consumption of leasing services in various regions and countries of the world.

This study analyzes the diffusion of battery electric vehicles (BEV) in the world and evaluates the vehicle charging stations based on the European Union (EU) scenario. Initially, the global BEV sales data from 2005 to 2018 are fitted with the two most frequently used econometric logistics and Bass diffusion models. Further, the study identifies the different stage adopters, forecasts the consumption of BEVs, and examines the velocity and acceleration of BEV diffusion. Finally, future charging stations are examined to meet the BEV sales demand. Results suggest that the adoption of BEVs demonstrates a better fit on the Bass model where the global BEV market is estimated to grow from 5,3 millions in 2019 to near 40 millions units by 2030, and with the reference of the EU countries’ adoption scenario, the global charging stations will be increased from near 2 millions in 2019 to near 10 millions units by 2030.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – This research aims at contributing to international marketing literature by reconsidering the drivers of firms’ globalization and global market performance in the light of organizational mindfulness concept. Design/methodology/approach – Based on industrial organization theory, resource-based view and literature on organizational mindfulness, a conceptual framework is presented to characterize how organizational mindfulness impacts firms’ globalization process and global market performance. In total, 14 propositions are extracted. Findings – This paper proposes that organizational mindfulness plays a significant role in firms’ entry into foreign markets, global extension and global market performance. More specifically, organizational mindfulness positively moderates the relationships between external globalization drivers and the extent of firms’ globalization. In addition, organizational mindfulness is an antecedent to strategic processes, whereas it positively moderates the relationships between other internal drivers and firms’ globalization and global market performance. Furthermore, this paper suggests that country equity is a significant external globalization driver that also moderates the relationship between the extent of firms’ globalization and global market performance. Research limitations/implications – The proposed framework contributes to international marketing research by integrating organizational mindfulness concept into the drivers of firms’ globalization and global market performance, and highlights its crucial role in the pursuit of opportunities in the global marketplace. The paper suggests that firms should create mindful organizations to expand its activities into global markets and achieve desirable global market performance. In other words, they should improve collective mindfulness to survive in today’s hyper-competitive markets. Originality/value – The paper represents the first attempt that incorporates organizational mindfulness concept into firms’ globalization process. Highlighting the importance of developing mindful organizations, it reconsiders the drivers of firms’ global expansion and global market performance. Furthermore, it is the first attempt that introduces the country equity construct as an external driver of firms’ global extension and as a moderator between organizational reform measures and global market performance.

Full textAbstract:
The financialization genesis of the global economy centered in the United States is on the bifurcation point now— a fictive capital’ expansion is damaging with the social capital regeneration mechanism disaster. The method of identifying and estimating the fictive capital’ extension is absent for now. The fictive capital exists as a metaphor on the science papers but not as an institutional basis of the capital flows directions. The paper aims to update the configuration of the global financial system, its dependence on the performance of US corporations and banks; to identify the sources of vulnerability of world finance and global liquidity from the fictitious capital of American financial markets. The methodology is theoretical pattern’ of financial capital movements and its real statistical market indicators comparison. The empirical base is statistical data about the financial flows and financial results especially about the US as a global financial center. Based on the results the authors have revealed an origin of fictive capital on the US bank sector by the justification for the conclusion of liquidity above the profitable as the purpose of financial operations. This conclusion is confirmed with the scale of off-balance sheet transactions of banks. Besides the regression between the prices of derivative’ basis assets and stock indexes has been shown. Also, the market capitalization of American companies is not sensitive to change in market liquidity indicators. The authors concluded that global financialization is supported by significant internal contradictions in the US economy. The source of contradictions is the financial mechanism for withdrawing liquidity from the sphere of production and circulation into the sphere of financial markets. Capital investment using instruments of the US financial market entails the threat of losing their liquidity. Forecasting the dynamics of the global economy without taking into account the role of fictitious capital, which is emerging in the American financial markets, leads to global vulnerability and may cause the next financial crisis.

Full textAbstract:
For the last two decades, the international auction houses Sotheby’s and Christie’s have been at the forefront of global art market expansion. Their world-wide footprints have enabled auction house specialists to engage with emerging artists and aspiring collectors, most notably in the developing economies of the Global South. By establishing their sales infrastructure in new locales ahead of the traditional mechanisms of primary market commercial galleries, the international auction houses have played a foundational role in the notional construction of new genres of art. However, branding alone is not sufficient to establish these new markets; the auction houses require a network of willing supporters to facilitate and drive marketplace supply and demand, be that trans-locational art market intermediaries, local governments, and/or regional auction businesses. This paper examines emerging art auction markets in three Global South case studies. It elucidates the strategic mechanisms and networks of international and regional art auction houses in the development of specific genres of contemporary art: Hong Kong and ‘Chinese contemporary art’, Singapore and ‘Southeast Asian art’, and Australia and ‘Aboriginal art’. Through examination and comparison of these three markets, this paper draws on research conducted over the past decade to reveal an integral role played by art auctions in the expansion of broader contemporary art world infrastructure in the Global South.

Full textAbstract:
In this article, the authors provide an overview of the Global Rule of Three. Competitive markets grow, consolidate, and mature, ultimately leading to the emergence of three full-line generalists. The financial performance of full-line generalists gradually improves with greater market share, while the performance of specialists drops off rapidly as their market share increases. Businesses that lack the scale and scope advantages of generalists, and the focus and service advantages of specialists get stuck in between—in the ditch range. The Rule of Three structure generates optimal operational efficiency in competitive markets and positive impact on all stakeholders. It represents an empirical reality that must be factored into the strategy of businesses of all sizes. Competitive markets evolve in a predictable fashion across industries, and they go through similar lifecycles. Many generalists that are dominant in their countries or regions are unable to exert the same leadership when the market globalizes. Each century has been marked by the successes of different regions and cultures. The old triad power which consisted of Western Europe, North America, and Japan is being replaced by America, China, and India. The new triad power comes with possible problems, especially between China and the US. Their differences will inevitably create tensions, and India will increasingly become a more strategic partner to both. Increasing demand for the world’s limited resources will necessitate resource-driven global expansion for enterprises and nations, further transforming the way business is conducted in the 21st century.

The purpose of the article is to study the theoretical foundations and develop practical recommendations for improving the process of functioning financial instruments in global financial markets. The article reveals the essence and characterizes the components of the modern global financial market, defines its role in the development of the national economy, and the peculiarities of its formation in the conditions of the expansion of innovative digital technologies. The essence of financial market instruments is revealed and the need to improve their investment qualities to the requirements of modern economic conditions is argued. Financial instruments that are in circulation on the financial market are systematized according to several features. Considerable attention is paid in the work to the circulation of innovative financial instruments, the main feature of which is a high level of risk. Peculiarities of the formation and functioning of derivative financial instruments were studied, and the essence and specifics of the use of credit notes on the stock market were revealed. The mechanism of circulation of credit notes is presented and their main functional features are defined. It is noted that the issuance and sale of credit notes enable borrowers to mobilize funds on the global financial markets, and improve their investment image in the international market through the formation of a high credit rating from global financial institutions. The peculiarities of cryptocurrency circulation on the global financial market from the point of view of today's most popular innovative financial instrument are revealed; the authors emphasized the dual nature of cryptocurrencies, as it has the properties inherent in stock market instruments and features that characterize financial pyramids. The dynamics of the development of the global cryptocurrency market over a long period have been analyzed. The peculiarities and problems of regulating the circulation and taxation of cryptocurrencies in Ukraine and the world are highlighted. The formation and specifics of circulation on the domestic financial market of bitcoin derivatives as a new financial instrument are described. The authors also focused attention on the spread of negative trends in the circulation of cryptocurrencies and substantiated possible ways to overcome them. The article analyzes the functioning and development of the option certificates and derivatives market in Ukraine in terms of stock and over-the-counter markets. The main factors restraining their development include inadequate regulatory and legal support, the small size of the markets, and a small number of tools used in them.

Derivatives emerged as hedging instruments out of the need to control price risk. Earlier commodity prices were the sole concern of business community, and therefore, the derivatives on commodities were the first ones to emerge. The introduction of derivatives in India can be traced out in 1875, when the Bombay Cotton Trading Association Ltd was set up for futures trading in cotton. At present the markets for derivatives have been growing at a phenomenal pace. This paper traces the growth and current position of Indian derivatives market. Since its inception in June 2000, derivatives market has exhibited exponential growth both in terms of volume and number of contract traded. The market turnover has grown from Rs.24bn in 2000-01 to Rs. 2376tn in 2018-19. The present study is an effort to demonstrate the growth and expansion of derivatives in India during the time period 2010-11 to 2018-19. It also encompasses the scope, history, concept, types and growth of financial derivatives in India and the status of Indian derivatives market vis-à-vis global derivative market.

Synopsis The Wanda Case offers an overview of Wanda Group’s transition from a real estate firm in China to a global leader in the movie industry. Wanda Group, a Chinese conglomerate headquartered in Beijing, caused a major commotion in the US movie industry when it acquired AMC Entertainment in 2012. The AMC acquisition was the largest acquisition by a Chinese firm in the USA up to that time, costing $2.6 billion. Following that, a series of acquisitions had made Wanda Group the largest movie theater company, respectively, in the USA, Europe, and the World by the end of 2016. In order to fully comprehend the transition of the Wanda Group, the case begins by introducing the group’s origins and its original business model. It then discusses the challenges in the Chinese real estate market and factors that played a role in Wanda Group’s shift toward the movie industry. The authors further introduce the trends in movie theaters/production, recognized on a global scale in China and the USA, including key competitors in the industry. Last, the authors discuss Wanda Group’s global expansion efforts through major acquisitions in the USA and Europe, and the challenges that Wanda Group faced. Research methodology The case was written with publicly available information, such as newspaper articles, databases and corporate websites. The authors did not disguise any details. Relevant courses and levels This case can fulfill various learning goals in international business and strategy courses. First, this case offers detailed information about the diversification process of Wanda Group. It first diversified from real estate development into the movie cinema and production business in China (i.e. product diversification). More recently, Wanda Group diversified into the USA and Europe (i.e. geographical diversification). With the information provided in the case, students will be able to evaluate the costs and benefits of diversification strategies. Second, students can examine pros and cons of available entry modes for international expansions. Particularly, students will be able to evaluate the costs and benefits of acquisitions to Wanda Group’s international expansion. The authors also believe that this case can be used for introducing a relatively less-known emerging-market conglomerate, especially from China. Last, considering the rich information this case contains, the authors may use it as an exam case to evaluate students’ comprehensive knowledge gained from the course. Theoretical bases The case discusses corporate strategy, particularly diversification, the resource-based view, and institutional theory.

Full textAbstract:
The authors analyze the state of international banking business before and after the global economic crisis of 2007-2009, and make predictions on potential future effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on transformation of international banking and bank strategy. The analysis focuses on trends and changes in the two most important forms of trade in banking services, namely, cross-border banking flows, which include direct cross-border banking flows and local banking flows of international banks’ subsidiaries abroad, and foreign bank presence. It has been concluded that direct cross-border banking flows are more volatile than local banking flows of foreign banks during economic and social upheavals. The period under study has witnessed large increase in foreign bank presence, both in terms of number and local market share. The study determines changes of leading international banks and their home countries, highlighting the weakening position of banks from advanced countries and increase in the role of banks from emerging markets and developing countries. The authors review international expansion strategies of major banks from the post-Soviet states, that are influenced both by the opportunities and goals of banks going abroad, and by the institutional features of their banking systems; countries which these banks are targeting are predominantly comparable to the post-Soviet states in terms of economic development, and are chosen by criteria of their attractiveness, such as high level of trade and political relations with the bank’s home country, the presence of diaspora, the degree of saturation and growth dynamics of the banking market in the host country. The reasons behind the banks’ geographical expansion decision include, among many others, the dramatic growth of their economies, stimulated by the involvement in globalization processes, and liberal banking reforms. Obstacles of economic and non-economic nature that are hindering this expansion, encompass high level of competition in external banking markets, expensive financial resources of domestic banks, low level of expansion of the post-Soviet states-based enterprises to the non-post-Soviet states, discriminatory qualification requirements for personnel and composition of management bodies, problems related to banking licensing procedures and requirements, aspects of culture and communication; their transformation from local banks, operating in the local market, to banks with a clear manifestation of the tendency of their international expansion amidst changing global environment and uncertainty.

Both experienced and novice international business practitioners may need to examine many country ranking reports on a frequent basis. Most of these reports focus on certain socio-economic variables and compute country rankings with a weighted average method, which does not distinguish between likely causes (i.e. inputs) and consequences (i.e. outputs). Through data envelopment window analysis (DEWA), the publicly accessible globalEDGE™ data were employed to compute the relative efficiency index for 22 countries from 2002 to 2009. Subsequently, the trend (averages) and the consistency (correlations) of relative country efficiency along the passage of years were examined to segment those countries into three groups: the “consistent performers,” the “sliding performers,” and the “improving performers” groups. This segmentation scheme may facilitate business practitioners when they develop their global expansion strategy. This paper introduces a complementary yet different longitudinal efficiency which could help multinational corporations’ top management teams and government decision makers evaluate the continuous performance of output/input efficiency.

Full textAbstract:
Microalgae lipids offer numerous advantages over those of plants and animals, enabling the sustainable commercialization of high value-added products in different markets. Although these markets are in a vertiginous annual expansion, technological life cycle modeling is a tool that has been rarely used for microalgae. Life cycle modeling is capable of assisting with decision-making based on data and is considered as a versatile model, usable in multiple software analyzing and diagnostic tasks. Modeling technological trends makes it possible to categorize the development level of the market and predict phase changes, reducing uncertainties and increasing investments. This study aims to fill this gap by performing a global analysis and modeling of microalgal lipid innovations. The Espacenet and Orbit platforms were used by crossing the keywords “microalgae”, “lipid*”, and the IPC code C12 (biochemistry and microbiology). Different sigmoid growth models were used in the present study. A successive repetition of the Chlorella genus category was found in the keyword clusters regarding extraction and separation of lipids. The life cycle S curve indicates a market starting at the maturity phase, where the BiDoseResp model stands out. The main countries and institutions at the technological forefront are shown, as well as potential technological domains for opening new markets.

Purpose This study aims to enhance the knowledge that managers and scholars have on franchising expansion. In this sense, it is worth mentioning that although the body of literature on international management focusing on emerging markets is growing, the attention paid to the Latin American context continues to be limited. This is surprising given the substantive economic importance of the region with a population over 590 million, and a gross domestic product of approximately US$5 trillion. To cover this gap, the present study examines how a number of market conditions may drive diffusion of franchising into Latin America: geographical distance, cultural distance, political stability and economic development. The authors also controlled for the host country’s market potential, transparency, unemployment rate and efficiency of contract enforcement. Design/methodology/approach This study uses a quantitative approach applied to a sample of 77 Spanish franchisors operating through 4,064 franchisee outlets across 21 Latin American countries in late 2012. They are: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Bolivia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico, Uruguay and Venezuela. Findings Results conclude that geographical distance between the host and home countries, as well as the level of host country’s political stability, economic development, market potential and transparency are able to drive the spread of international franchising across Latin American nations. Research limitations/implications This study provides readers with a general overview of the current state of global franchising diffusion overseas. Results obtained in this study are useful for understanding and predicting the demand for franchising in Latin American countries. Practical implications Economics reports argue that by 2050, the largest economies in the world will be China, the USA, India, Brazil and Mexico. This fact highlights the substantive importance of Latin America for foreign investors willing to expand their business abroad. In an attempt to give insights from the Latin American context, the present paper develops and tests a model that can be useful to franchisors willing to establish new outlets in the region. In addition, our findings offer guidance to firm managers seeking to target their franchises in Latin America. Franchisors may then use the results of this study as a starting point for identifying such regions whose characteristics best meet their needs of expansion. Originality/value This paper explores how market conditions may drive international diffusion of franchising into Latin American markets. The scant theoretical or empirical attention given to this topic has usually been examined from the USA and British base and focused on developed markets. To fill this gap, the present study analyzes the international spread of the Spanish franchise system into Latin America as a market for franchising expansion.

The capital market is one of the most critical pillars of financial markets, which plays an important role in countries' economies. With the increasing development of international trade and the free flow of capital, financial asset prices spread to other assets. The extend is increasing with the expansion of communication networks as well as the close connection of financial markets to each other. Therefore, the state of a market is not only specific to itself but also affects other financial markets. Global oil, gold, and basic metal prices, including palladium, significantly influence the American financial markets. Due to the importance of the Nasdaq index for investors' investment decisions, this study analyzes the impact of oil, gold, and palladium metal prices on the Nasdaq index monthly between 2016 and 2021. Based on the final model, the oil and gold markets significantly impact the Nasdaq index, while palladium has a less significant impact.

This article based on the current background of the whole motorcycle market analyzes the potential factors that could influence the performance of CFMOTO in its domestic market- China, and in one of its foreign market- The United States. It discusses the new consumer group, policy of using motorcycles, as well as the limitation under epidemic situation. It claims that because of the continuous recurrence of the epidemic, global supply chains have become less efficient as the exports and imports have been restricted. This is the factors that both of these two markets have to encounter. Meanwhile, because of the different demand of motorcycles in China and the US, the article suggests that CFMOTO’s main competitors in the US market are American and Japanese brands. Although CFMOTO is now take up a small market share in the US, it would create a bright future because it now senses the trend that motorcycles will be electrified in the future. However, the article points out that in the process of exploring the US market, CFMOTO may be affected by uncertain factors such as the Sino-US trade war, logistics and transportation, and fluctuations in raw material prices.

Full textAbstract:
Since the crisis of 2007–2009, sovereignty, government and politics are on the agenda of social sciences and of international policy platforms, most recently in Davos. This is a departure from anti-statist, free-tradist visions of global market development in the 1980s and 1990s when sovereignty was simply associated with freedom of action of economic actors (most significantly, global corporations and banks) and governance simply referred to technical rules serving the ends of these actors posed in terms of dictates of the market. This paper points to societal dislocations (e.g. income discrepancies, unemployment) incumbent on global market development and to a time lag in which these made themselves felt in the developed and developing world. It argues that the developing world experienced the disillusionment with markets in the latter part of 1990s and early 2000s and sought solutions in effective governments, putting them in the service of reaping the benefits of global market expansion for individual regions. It meant non-liberal ways of governing markets, distancing from abstract formulations of individual rights, turning the ‘rule of law’ into living law deeply rooted in societal concerns not limited to commercial actors but including those of both blue-collar and white collar workers, of migrant populations, and women. At issue is an introduction of politics, of political agency and initiatives. The developed world rejected what is labeled as an ‘autocratic turn’; and is lost for a solution to market woes, except for further measures to maximize gains by major commercial actors, as in the case of the Greek crisis.

Full textAbstract:
The expansion of the private university market was part of a global trend that grew vigorously at the turn of the twenty first century. Although private demand has long dominated Southeast Asian countries, Latin America has also witnessed a dramatic shift toward non-public options since the early 1990s. However, not all countries in the region reacted alike, and Argentina can be an exception to this global private expansion. In fact, the State is still the dominant actor, fulfilling its role as the main demand-absorber of post-secondary students. In a market where the private sector was not always “welcomed,” the objective is to study the development of the private university market in Argentina, paying special attention to the main particularities of this growth. This dynamic will be studied from an isomorphic approach to understand what have been the main consequences in terms of organizational forms and practices before a dominant and controlling State.
