Why Globalize?
Resource-based: resources are the key to a firms superior performance
Superior Craftsmanship: better/cheaper labor in different countries
Transportation costs: decrease costs by having warehouse in country
Better production efficiency Avoid political, trade, and regulatory rules Gain access to a larger market

Evolution of a global firm
entails progressively
involved strategy levels

consumers will perceive them to be domestic
Be perceived as local.

Multi-domestic Strategy
Pros Reduced exchange-rate
exposure Value creation in host
country
Cons Costly and inefficient Highly autonomous
units

Multi-domestic Strategy Examples
McDonalds China: Rice McWraps Italy: Pizzarotto Saudi Arabia: Mc Arabia
Chicken India: No beef → mutton-
based and vegetarian burgers
Lowered prices based on average income

Global Strategy Attempts to reap significant economies of scale and
location economies by pursuing a global division of labor based on wherever best-of-class capabilities reside at the lowest cost
Arises due to: High pressure for cost reductions
Low pressure for local responsiveness
Lowest costs possible.

Global Strategy
Pros Obtain the lowest costs Economies of scale
Cons If you can’t get the
lowest costs you won’t succeed
No local responsiveness
No product differentiation

Manufacturers; Makers of the ThinkPad
Hubs in Beijing, Shanghai, Raleigh, and Japan
Manufacturing in Mexico, India, and China
Walmart Tried to enter
Germany Wanted door
greeters and polite staff
Couldn’t gain enough market share and keep their costs low

attainable
Think globally, act locally.
