  • Firms that compete in the global marketplace typically face two types of competitive pressures: pressures for cost reductions and pressures to be locally responsive. These two pressures place conflicting demands on a firm. Responding to pressures for cost reductions requires that a firm try to minimize its unit costs. But responding to pressures to be locally responsive requires that a firm differentiate its product offering and marketing strategy from country to country in an effort to accommodate the diverse demands. Because differentiation across countries can involve significant duplication and a lack of product standardization, it may raise costs. So how do differences in the strength of those pressures affect a firm's choice of strategy? In this video, I will introduce four major international strategies to you.

    As a business student I really enjoyed watching this video I had no idea of how many strategies go into international business. What I really liked was that the instructor used real companies as examples. That really helped me understand everything better.

    As I was watching this video I never realized by going global or international there are a lot of questions to be asked and answered. Besides just the normal business questions and opinions on who, what and where is a lot information to be compiled to decided what market you are looking towards, who is your shopper and how you want to distribute it. Thank you for your thoroughness on the subject.

    I never realized there were so many different kinds of strategies that you can use within international business. Given the real world examples in the video I managed to have learned a lot. Just reading pages off of a page sometimes does not stick with me, but given the examples I feel as if i can really grasp and understand the concept of strategies used during international business.

    When it comes to international business, there are many aspects that need to be evaluated when entering a new country such as governements, regulations, and different culture. That is where international business strategy comes into play. This video really helped explain what goes into that and some of the different concepts.

It really helps to put into perspective how intricate it can be to plan an international business.

    Learning about the varying strategies that are utilized in international business was super beneficial.

Also, outsourcing is a key factor to many large companies, and now I have a better understanding of why.

It also goes to show how the information in this course will apply to situations outside of the classroom. It helps to know about the pressures that companies face so that one day when we are working for or own a company we won't be blindsided why them. We will at least have some understanding of it now.

    After watching this video I understand that there are many different ways to compete as an International Business. Whether a business does a Global Standardization Strategy, a localization strategy, or another strategy depends heavily on the industry and many other factors. Deciding an international strategy can positively or negatively effect an industry in many ways.

    After watching this video, I realized that there are so many moving parts in the business world that I was very unaware of. There are so many different strategies and outcomes that go on. I also thought is was very interesting that some companies can just be characterized into a strategy that really does not suit them when looking on paper. This just shows that there are so many moving parts in all these different industries that can result in so many different outcomes.

    I like how this video put a label to the two pressures that companies face. Of course companies want to reduce costs to improve profit and to be locally responsive to sell more. I found the chart depicting the four strategies and whether the different pressures were high or low on deciding what strategy to use very important.

It was interesting to learn that Texas Instruments uses a global standardization strategy. This makes sense because their products serve universal needs.

    I thought it was interesting how it explained the different types of pressures that businesses must consider when strategizing. There are a lot of moving parts with specific needs, costs, etc. which can make that process more difficult. I thought the chart that it showed was very interesting where it categorized the 4 major strategies as high or low pressure of cost reduction and high or low pressure of local responsiveness. It also gave real-life examples and explained why it would or wouldn't make sense for a company to use this strategy. I now have a better understanding of the different pressures companies must consider when trying to pick the best strategy.

    I loved this video! It reminded me of the time I was in England and we went to McDonalds. After eating English food for two weeks I wanted just a bacon cheeseburger from McDonalds. When I ordered my food I noticed that the menu was different from the one back in the United States. I got my cheeseburger and I noticed that the bacon was not what I would call Bacon at all. It was actually what the English call Rashers. Which is essentially a slice of bacon that looks more like ham. It was interesting to see how McDonald's had catered to the environment that it was in to become more profitable.

    The main pressure that was explained in this video that I found interesting was the pressure for cost reduction. In the global markets we see many examples of international businesses being affected by these different pressures in the market. An example I liked from this explanation was a manufactuer mass-producing a standardized product at the best location somewhere in the world. This goes into how a firm could choose to outsource the product for its low cost benefits in order to reduce costs.

    Mass Production in an optimal location to reduce costs are not an easy feature, it is very easy to think that producing products in another country will benefit greatly but in reality, there are many factors to it besides the wage of workers. Exporting and Importing goods for me were huge factors in this discussion I had with some friends. So many factors and pressures are dealt with when it comes to this and its nice to hear the different strategies companies can take to respond to such questions.

What I found to be most interesting was the pressures of cost reduction. I did not know this is one of the reasons that companies would outsource their labor. I was always puzzled about why a company would take away jobs from people already working in the company. However, after watching this video I understand how outsourcing labor can help reduce company costs.

I also like to see that some of the biggest corporations are those that have international business and are not just represented in one company. Globalization and International Businesses can bring so much more profit and value to a company which can be great for shareholders. It will be interesting to see how many more companies go international with the rise and availability of the internet that makes this process more available to all companies.

    I really enjoyed this video! There must be a good strategy when performing international business, since many factors play into being successful. It is not easy to sell products in other countries, since the company has to adapt to different cultures and preferences of a specific country in order to sell the product. It can be very costly to enter a market, so you need to make sure by performing analysis based on the model in this video, to know that the market you will enter, has a high chance of gaining sales.

I receive all of the advertising calls for my company and would much rather prefer a "softer" approach than what seems to be the standard practice here.

    The international strategy seems to me to be the go to when it comes to international business for product companies due to the major advantages of low pressures for local responsiveness and low pressures for cost reductions. I'm not sure what strategy I would lean on more if I looked at taking a service company global though would definitely take a lot more research depending on the industry.

    My biggest issue with pressure for cost reduction is the ethics of it, I know many times that the people who work for these lower wages in these countries are often the only bread winners for their families, but I cna't help but think the companies are saving enough to where they couldoffer better work conditions and wages.
