Submitted Assignment from the year 2017 in the subject Business economics - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,0, University of Applied Sciences Riedlingen, language: English, abstract: This assignments contains a strategic analysis of The Body Shops internationalization. The Body Shop International Plc has been established in 1976 by Anita Roddick, as the first ethical beauty company to pioneer “a new kind of sustainable business.” (The Body Shop International Plc., 2015) Within a short period, it became a worldwide successful enterprise. Today, The Body Shop is a leader in the movement for creating an ethic of social responsibility among corporations and is one of the most controversial players within that movement. This essay describes the company’s development, from opening the first shop, over its internationalization process, up to the acquisition by L’Oréal. Therefore, some theoretical background in strategic international management will be explained. With the help of Porters Five Forces, changes within The Body Shops competitive environment will be discussed. By looking at the modes of entering foreign markets, as well as timing strategies, The Body Shops internationalization will be analyzed. Can the OLI-framework answer why the company has engaged in international markets in a certain way? Especially after entering the U.S. market, the company faced some major challenges. The EPRG model will be applied, to see if those changed the way the company was managed. In 2005 The Body Shop went through a major repositioning, which ended up in the acquisition by L’Oréal. The latest part of this essay will describe the reasons and analyze the strategic position of The Body Shop before the takeover.

The relationships are examined between various international marketing mix e.g. distribution channel and pricing strategies, and brand performance. Through case studies the text also analyses the internationalization of contract-based firms.

Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: B, The University of Liverpool, language: English, abstract: Marks and Spencer has had ups and downs in its efforts at overseas expansion. The company is now making another effort to grow its international business. Imagine you are a consultant hired by M&S to review its current internationalization strategy. Referring both to past and current issues with M&S internationalization, and to the current business climate, prepare a report with recommendations to senior management on whether and how it should proceed with internationalization. Introduction Internationalisation may be understood to be a way of expanding business or other activities beyond the domestic markets or boundaries. In other words, the growing interests of business houses in international market share and thereby their presence and involvement in markets outside the country of its origin, may be termed as ‘internationalisation.’ Over the past couple of decades in particular, the interest in international business has grown manifold amongst business analysts, researchers, trend watchers and of course, consumers themselves. The case in question is the internationalization of Marks and Spencer, the British retail giant and its failure to make an impact inn the International retail market. If one were to trace backwards into a bit of history and a significant part at that, one would easily recognize that the intent to go beyond the company’s present capacity – whether for economic reasons or political – and explore new vistas of operation, both for profit, control and to consequently impact the existing market;a case in all practicality may be the reference to the thriving British East India Company ( 17th CE ). What had started off as trade between Great Britain and India ( or rather princely states in India ) nearly three centuries ago, changed to the British Empire gaining dominion over not only India, but also almost two thirds of the world. Most certainly, such are not the current intentions of business houses since they operate independently following the regulations of mutually agreed policies of international trade between two or more countries. More so, the world political scenario has changed since the second world war and nations are in the mode of cooperation amongst themselves more than control over others through political or economic power.

The first part of the book introduces relevant theories of internationalization. In addition to traditional concepts of internationalization (e.g., the product life-cycle approach of Vernon, the Uppsala model, and Porter's diamond approach), particular attention is paid to the more modern network approaches of internationalization (e.g., systems, new venture/born global, and entrepreneur concepts). In the second part, alternatives for international market entry (e.g., exports, franchising, joint ventures, contract manufacturing, and foreign direct investments) are explained. These market entry modes are categorized according to decision determinants, such as hierarchical control, proximity to the market, risk of investment, and the factor of time, which are important from the point of view of the corporate management involved in international business. The empirical part of this publication, which is the result of a longitudional study, consists of case studies of Asian firms doing business in the consumer electronics industry. The cases of Samsung, Sony, Sharp, Matsushita (Panasonic), LG Electronics, and TCL China provide fundamental insights into the firms' organizational structures, corporate cultures, respective sales volume, and earnings performance as well as strategic concepts for their market penetration in Europe. A main emphasis is placed on an understanding of internal firm networks (e.g., diversified business fields and vertical production depth) and external firm networks (e.g., joint ventures, supplier and buyer clusters as well as mutual capital interests). From the author's view, these network grids fundamentally contribute to the fact that Asian firms have more successfully positioned themselves in the market within the last two decades compared to their European competitors in the television set industry (e.g. Grundig, Thomson, or Philips). The networking aims and success factors as well as the changing strategic influence over the years of the partner firms both in bilateral Japanese joint ventures and in European-Asian joint ventures are examined. The book provides complex background information about the development of the European television set market. The analysis demonstrates that firms holding the position of technological market leaders in their segment simultaneously indicate the most intensive network activities. The further development of the network theory and the detailed and up-to-date case studies of the most important Asian enterprises in the consumer electronics industry contribute to the value of this publication. Furthermore, on the basis of the knowledge gained from this study, chances and risk potentials can be derived for other European industries (e.g., automotive). The book, written in English, is suitable for internationally oriented bachelor's, master's and MBA programs. Additionally, against the background of worldwide competition, the publication at hand offers relevant industry insights for interested political and economic decision makers.
