Introduction

Operating on the international scale is the dream of every business enterprise. With the rapidity with which globalisation is taking over the product and service industries, coupled with the installed and efficient communication systems; conducting business on the international fronts has increasingly grown simple and manageable (Weiss, 2008). This dream is not only manageable by major companies, but also by the existing Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) have come out to shine and even outcompete the too big to fail giants in the markets (Hundeker 2010). Australia has had to harbor a prestigious history line when it comes to leveraging SMEs to becoming world leaders in various production lines. With this in mind, every firm that seeks to establish its prominence on the international stage enjoys a good will created by the country. It is in lieu of this reality that a privately- owned SME Popina Pty Ltd; which specialises in the production of Muesli cereals and snack bars seeks to expand its market in the Indian market (Shaffer, 2011). The Indian market has in the recent decades attracted the attention and interest of the global business community due to its favorable foreign investment policy.

...ce to the domestic regulations (Hundekar, 2010). With all the preliminaries ready, the exporting activities shall be deemed ripe to proceed initially in low quantities as it responds to the market growth with time.
Conclusion
It is crucial to take note of the significance of the business growth as one way of attaining the objectives of profitability. The path that is yet to be taken by Popina Pty Ltd is one of the diverse strategies that a firm would like to utilize in entering a new market. The brand Arnold’s Farm Museli is conveniently a product to watch in the India’s market as it takes a toll in the snacking habits of the population (Hundekar, 2010). Popina has voluminous experience about exports and, therefore, the India’s situation should just be a replica, but enhanced strategy to what has been actualized in its other international markets (Lehtinen, 2011).

  • Unilever Case Analysis

    2131 Words  | 5 Pages

    Although Unilever’s Path to Growth strategy involves all components of the general environment, two segments that are especially relevant are the global and sociocultural segments. A major strength of the company’s global environment is its geographic diversification of its major product markets. In 2003, Unilever had sales and marketing efforts in 88 different countries. The key is that it gave decision-making power to its managers in different countries so that they could tailor their products to the market’s specific preferences and consumers’ local tastes. Thus, it was the cross-country preferences of consumers that determined what products Unilever would carry. The global segment provides an enormous opportunity for Unilever. The case states that emerging country markets show the greatest potential for sales growth. Major competitors such as Procter & Gamble and Kraft Foods had sales in roughly 140 to 150 different countries in 2003, and Nestle, Unilever’s main rival, had market penetration in almost every country in the world. If Unilever is able to expand its operations into 50 or more new countries and concentrate its advertising campaign on consumer preferences, it could significantly increase its market share in the global economy.
