What are the factors that influence an organization’s choice of entry mode in a country? Discuss how the chosen mode fits with an organization’s goals and objectives.

Step 1: Discuss Entry Strategy

As you prepare to choose a new strategy—a global strategy—to direct your client’s business decisions, it will be useful to think critically about  international strategies,  modes of entry, and  globalizing the management model.

Before you and your teammates settle on a strategy, Jillian Best has asked you to meet and discuss the various factors that influence an entry strategy.

Based, on your readings, respond to at least one main topic by Saturday midnight; respond to the second main topic and a minimum of two posts from your classmates (at least one in each topic) by Tuesday midnight of Week 7.

Discussion Topic 1: What are the factors that influence an organization’s choice of entry mode in a country? Discuss how the chosen mode fits with an organization’s goals and objectives.

Discussion Topic 2: What are the country factors that influence an organization’s decision to enter that country? What is the impact of the culture and geography on the organization’s value-chain activities being relocated to the country?

Review the  MBA Discussion Guidelines for instructions on participation in discussions. Also, abide by the following guidelines:

· The titles of your main postings should indicate the discussion topic number (e.g., #1, #2).

· In your discussions, cite examples when you describe theories from your reading and research. You may use examples from your organization or industry, current or recent newsmakers, or other reliable sources. Support your work with scholarly and reliable non-scholarly sources.

After the discussion, proceed to the next step, where your team will select a global strategy to guide your business recommendations for your client.
