deployment

-deploy a home market competitive advantage in new geographic location. -strategy: replicating same source of advantage in home market across national markets -wedge stays the same but volume of sales increases -relies on similarities across countries

advantages of going global

-gain access to a larger market -gain access to low cost input factors -develop new competencies

4 strategic positions in the integration responsiveness framework

Globalization hypothesis:

Assumption that consumer needs and preferences throughout the world are converging and thus becoming increasingly homogenous

Death of distance hypothesis:

Assumption that geographic location alone should not lead to firm level competitive advantage because firms are now more than ever able to source inputs globally.

Administrative and political distance

Captured in factors such as the absence or presence of shared monetary or political associations, political hostilities, and weak or strong financial institutions.

Geographic distance:

Does not simply capture how far two countries are from each other but also includes additional attributes, such as the country's physical size, the within country distances to its borders, the country's topography, its time zones, and whether the countries are contiguous to one another or have access to waterways and the ocean

Porter's Diamond Framework:

Explains why certain industries are more competitive in specific nations than others. 4 interrelated factors: • Factor conditions • Demand conditions • Competitive intensity in focal industry. • Related and supporting industries/complementors.

Global standardization strategy:

Strategy attempting to reap significant EOS and location economies by pursuing a global division of labor based on wherever best of class capabilities reside at the lowest cost

Integration responsiveness framework:

Strategy framework that juxtaposes the pressures an MNE faces for cost reductions and local responsiveness to derive four different strategies to gain and sustain competitive advantage when competing globally.

Multidomestic strategy:

Strategy pursued by MNE's that attempts to maximize local responsiveness, with the intent that local consumers will perceive them to be domestic companies

Transnational strategy:

Strategy that attempts to combine the benefits of a localization strategy (high local responsiveness) with those of a global-standardized strategy (lowest cost position attainable)

International strategy:

Strategy that involves leveraging home based core competencies by selling the same products or services in both domestic and foreign markets

Local responsiveness:

The need to tailor product and service offerings to fit local consumer preferences and host-country requirements

National competitive advantage:

World leadership in specific industries

factor conditions

a country's endowments in terms of natural, human, and other resources

foreign direct investment (FDI)

a firm's investments in value chain activities abroad

liability of foreignness

additional costs of doing business in an unfamiliar cultural and economic development, and of coordinating across geographic distances.

location economies

benefits from locating value chain activities in the world's optimal geographies for a specific activity, wherever that may be

competitive intensity in a focal industry

companies that face a highly competitive environment at home tend to outperform global competitors that lack such intense domestic competition

cultural distance

cultural disparity between an internationally expanding firm's home country and its targeted host county -differences in language, ethnicity, religion and social norms

4 interrelated factors in porter's diamond framework

factor conditions, demand conditions, competitive intensity in focal industry, related and supporting industries/complementors

disadvantages of going global

liability of foreignness -loss of reputation -loss of intellectual property

Economic distance:

o Wealth and per capita income of consumers is the most important determinant of economic distance o Rich trade with rich o Poor trade with rich

global strategy

part of a firm's corporate strategy to gain and sustain a competitive advantage when competing against other foreign and domestic companies around the world.

demand conditions

specific characteristics of demand in a firm's domestic market

natural culture

the collective mental and emotional programming of the mind that differentiates human groups

globalization

the process of closer integration and exchange between different countries and peoples worldwide, made possible by falling trade and investment barriers, advances in telecommunications, and reductions in transportation costs.
