Pursuing Foreign Markets-When considering pursuing foreign markets, a company must analyze its ability to implement and maintain its business abroad. Address the following as you continue your feasibility investigation:

• What considerations (including cross-cultural communications and negotiation issues) would your company need to make in order to launch and maintain business in your selected country?
• Identify the risks and opportunities associated with exporting the selected product to the selected country.
• Describe a proposed strategy for the launch of the product, including how you would promote the product launch.
• How would you manage this venture? What management structure would you recommend?
• Summarize production considerations, including where the manufacturing would take place and the packaging, logistics, and delivery considerations.
• What political and legal rules and regulations would need to be followed in order for your company to sell products abroad? Are there forms to file?
• What are the key fiscal considerations, such as perhaps the foreign exchange market and the international monetary system?
• How will you determine whether or not this is a profitable venture?

Discuss the elements of the internal workings of the company that you will need to carefully consider before making your final recommendation to the board of directors.
