Ok...Then begin in Urdu...It will save my time...

yar dekho jab bhi international market main ap ko apna product launch karna hota hay to app kay par 4 options hotey hain in 4 main say konsa select karna hay yeah product ki nature pay depend karta hay.
1st option International strategy
is strategy main app apni core competencies( resources and skills that distinguish a firm in the marketplace) kay bal botey pay international market say compete kartey ho kyu kay pori market main app jesi skills ya to kisi kay pass nahi hoti ya bohat rare hoti hay or is strategy main app apni sppuly chain apney head quater kay jitni close rakh saktey ho rakthey for many reasons like quality control or keeping your way of doing thing secret or hard for other to copy etc
is type ki corporations ki example hay Swiss watch manufacturers in ka har ek important part Switzerland main hi banta hay or yeah is field main core competencies bhi rakhtey hain.


samjh a gai to bata do hum agey chalein or agar kuch samjh nahi ai to biila jhijak poch lo

I don't really know much about business to be honest. I'm a librarian.

 

[Jungibaaz]

Sorry OP, that is not my subject area of expertise, good luck with your presentation anyway. I'm sure others can be of more assistance.

Yes...agey chaltey hain...samajh agayi

U just post all slides explanation in one post...I'll look it...Otherwise, We will go slow if we go by one slide per one post.

 

[PaklovesTurkiye]

@Hell hound last three slides? explanation??

 

[H!TchHiker]

@Hell hound last three slides? explanation??

Do some research yourself too..Post it and here and member can explain it right or wrong..Don't just be copy and paste ..This way you will understand the topic and won't forget...I said the same to my younger bro when he was in MBA..
This will divert your mind in thinking also..

Chapter Name : International Competitive Strategy: The strategy of International Business
​

Characteristics of the Strategy Type Used by MNEs

Slide 1 :-

International strategy

- Leverage a company’s core competencies into foreign markets.

- Critical elements of the value chain are centralized at headquarters.

The strategy works well when

1. The firm has core competencies that foreign rivals lack.
2. There is low pressure for global integration.
3. There is low pressure for local responsiveness.

Slide 2 :-

Multidomestic strategy

- Emphasizes responsiveness to the unique circumstances that prevail in a country’s market.

- Value added activities are adapted to local markets.

The strategy works well when

1. There is high pressure for local responsiveness.
2. There is low pressure for global integration.

Slide 3 :-

Global strategy

- Make standardized products that are marketed with little adaptation to local conditions.

- Exploit location economies and capture scale economies.

The strategy works well when

1. The MNE is the cost leader.
2. There is low pressure for local responsiveness.
3. There is high pressure for global integration.

Slide 4 :-

Transnational strategy

It simultaneously leverages core competencies worldwide, reduces costs by exploiting location economics, and adapts to local conditions.

The strategy works well when

1. Global learning and knowledge flows are emphasized.
2. There is high pressure for local responsiveness.
3. There is high pressure for global integration.

The End​

Anyone?

Could make it easy for you with answers but you should think on your own to make it your own. will give you a pointer.

Look at Unilever's business model and products portfolio. You will see application of all of the 4 strategies. Go through the history of Unilever in detail. All your answers are there.

Look at Dove soap for example, requiring specialised and unique production processes compared to other soap products. Global Strategy was applied to this very good product, very successfully I must say despite global production from one factory initially.

@Hell hound last three slides? explanation??

yar light chaley gai thi

Multidomestic strategy
is strategy main app har har individual market ki need ko aledha say pora karney kay laye product main changes kartey ho or siraf wohi chezain add kartey ho jo us product main value add karey example car kay cup holder america main cup holder kay bagair car ka tasawer bhi nahi kia ja sakta but japan main driving kay doran eating or drinking ban hay so cup holder ki zarorat nahi.
yeah strategy app tab use kartey ho jab app ki local market ki responsiveness bohat zayda ho or gernalize sa product market main sale nahi ho sakta ho. example fashion industry


Global strategy
is strategy main app ek hi universal product apni har market main sale kartey ho kyu kay har market ki need taqreeban ek jesi hoti hay jesay kay coke or Pepsi.or us tarhan siraf ek hi product banaey ki wajha say app ko kafi cost savings hoti hain jisay app economies of scale kehtay hain.
yeah strategy app tab use kartey hain jab app cost leader hon(matlab app apna product baqi sab say cheap bana saktey hon) or local market ki responsiveness bhai kafi kam ho (special localized version ki demand zayda na ho)

Transnational strategy
is strategy main bajey is kay kay app apni core competencies or supply chain ko ek country tak mehdod karney kay har market main phela detay ho takey app har jaga kay positives(like tax exceptions, quality of raw materiel, reduction in transportation cost etc )ka faida utha sako or har kisi ko upto some extent un ka localized product bhi day sako.
example fastfood chains like MacDonald yeah log hamin international product bhi detay hain or sath hi local taste ko madey nazar rakhtey hoey halal food or spicy flavors waley burgers bhi produce kartey hain.or in ki koshish hoti hay kay best quality or cost kay delicate balance ko local maal use kar kay maintain rakha jaye.



i hope this is enough material agar kisi bhi point ki further explanation chaey ho to bata dena.

@PaklovesTurkiye

It may be better if you explain these strategies with examples of products and the strategy the company adopted to market them.

Let me give you another example. Which strategy applied here? That you should figure out.

Rafhan Maize (based in Faisalabad, that is part of Corn Products Corporation of USA) introduced the first locally produced Strawberry Jam in Pakistan. Were people used to eating strawberry jams back in early 80's? No! It was a new product entry in the market. So how did they do it?

Factors to consider:
- there was no competitor producing or selling strawberry jam in Pakistan
- market demand was assessed on sale of marmalade jam already poduced locally
- there was no commercial strawberry production in Pakistan
- importing strawberry from europe etc was not economically feasible (transport costs too high, product expiry/wastage in transit etc etc)
- importing strawberry jam from foreign factories was not economically feasible either (no profit)
- factory had the equipment and processes in place to produce the jam but no local availability of the main ingredient
- use existing distribution/supply chain

Solution:
- Identified the area within Pakistan for growing strawberries, that was Swat!
- trial farming, success then move to full production
- Contracts with local farmers inc supervision
- importing of the right seeds etc

And that is how commercial farming of strawberry started in Pakistan, and first locally produced strawberry jam.

The End​

Anyone?

I hope I am not too late

Please remember I am an engineer, so I talk from that context mostly. My own company (pratt whitney) is mostly a mix of slide 1 and slide 3.

Slide 1:

International strategy.

I am thinking best examples would be the largest oil/energy companies....esp back in the day (50s - 60s)

Go with royal dutch shell or something imho during post ww2 war period.

Basically you are top dog (or close), you have the full tech (few others have), low competition, high increasing demand (esp of a good that is becoming universally needed) and even the sources of your product (hint KSA, middle east etc) are begging you to come and offload their stuff (given only you and few others have the tech that can do it).

Slide 2:

Multi-domestic strategy

This is more where there is more bargaining/restricting power from the local market you want to get into so you have to adapt to their specific needs unlike slide 1 where you just go in willy nilly with what you have (because literally beggars cant be choosers etc).

Think of south asia how the consumable companies like unilever etc. produce localised brands according to local tastes (including perfumes like jasmine, coconut etc etc) and also offer them in small packages so people can buy in small quantities compared to global norms. Their success relies on adaptation and more sensitive micromanagement....so profit margins come from later scaling as the country/demand grows over time etc.

Slide 3:

Global strategy

This is literally when you want to take advantage of lower labour costs, capital costs, logistics costs etc etc in certain countries. If they can also internally consume what you create, great....if not...no biggie given you are simply offshoring production (and you already have a global assured demand).

For example think of the massive export-based industries in East Asia where the original investment came from some FDI of a MNC....say semiconductors, electronics, plastics, transport etc etc.

Slide 4:

Transnational strategy

It takes the advantages of both 2 and 3 and combines. You have an established direction that you have created in original base by say developing some crucial and in demand good or service (like slide 3). But you are willing to let where you expand across global footprint to give you feedback and input to improve it, even back in home country (simply because not every combination of scenario was present back home when you developed it)....like slide 2 does.

This is the truest and most resilient MNC model in my opinion.

For an example think of the "frugal" engineering concepts and RnD done in more niche developing countries (to extract maximum out of every given unit of resource)....that later MNCs operating there also adapt (to be able to even sell there in first palce) and eventually bring back home (because WTF, it saves so much money, why didnt we think of that in first place etc).

A very old example of this is how the idea of a catamaran and outrigger canoe concept spread from asia and polynesia to the west when the original MNCs (trading companies like East India Company) first encountered them en masse in the places they were expanding into then....and then employed the design in their own ships over time esp for unstable waters where single hull design was less efficient.

To this day we see it mostly in the transport, logistics and increasingly environmental engineering sectors.

Slide 1 :-

International strategy

- Leverage a company’s core competencies into foreign markets.

- Critical elements of the value chain are centralized at headquarters.

The strategy works well when

1. The firm has core competencies that foreign rivals lack.
2. There is low pressure for global integration.
3. There is low pressure for local responsiveness.

McDonald's is a great example.

1) No foreign rival had the "core" competencies that McDonald's had and still has today.
2) They don't need to integrate into the global food industry i.e. they cater to regional, local and national tastes of each country too! (Indian veggie burgers, fish fillet for Malay/Indonesia etc)
3) You know this one already. No one can compete against McD's though HFC is still my favorite

Slide 2 :-

Multidomestic strategy

- Emphasizes responsiveness to the unique circumstances that prevail in a country’s market.

- Value added activities are adapted to local markets.

The strategy works well when

1. There is high pressure for local responsiveness.
2. There is low pressure for global integration.

Again, in recent years, McD has started facing competition in foreign markets (KFC, Burger King, Hardees, etc) so they now have begun catering to local tastes too and have developed meals/burgers/items that are entirely regional/locally unique (Pakistan doesn't have India's veggie burgers while India doesn't have Pakistan's beef ones, etc etc).

Sorry, I got no example for the last 2. Though others look avid at helping you.

Eat McDonald's after the presentation.

You own some shares in McDonalds?

 

[Itachi]

You own some shares in McDonalds?

I proudly flipped burgers from 18-19 years old.

Then I quit and got a better job.

Now they want me back as a supervisor or future manager.
