2. b) Entry-mode strategies and exit strategies for selected country market(s) (foreign market entry mode and management).

• Develop, analyse and evaluate the organisation’s entry-modes (or operational modes) used in the new markets.
• Assess these entry-mode (or operations mode) strategies in light the corporate objectives of your organisation
• Analyse and evaluate how global synergies work in light of what the organisation should implement by making considerations when selecting entry-mode strategies for the organisation in the chosen markets?

• Identify and describe the corporate structure of the organisation, and how the structure used to implement its international strategy (if available).
• What are the implications of using various entry-mode strategies for the organisational structure of the organisation in the chosen markets?
• What kind of control challenges are foreign firms facing in the chosen markets?
• How could the organisation use information technology to support its strategic control system? Here you must identify what kind of information could be collected, processed and presented electronically, and what kind of systems and infrastructure would need to be in place for their entry into the chosen markets?

1. d) A clear summary of the 5 year plan of the organisation in the new market(s).”
