Introduction Drivers of global world

Market drivers:
Homogeneous customer needs Customers in different countries who desire the same type of product or service provide an opportunity for firms to standardize their products. Global customers Customers who source and buy global facilitate the push to a uniform global offering. Global channels The existing of channels of distribution that facilitate getting goods to customers scattered worldwide plays a role in driving forward globalization. Transferable marketing Certain products and product categories are highly amenable to uniform marketing.

Introduction Drivers of global world

Cost drivers
Economies of scale and scope Single country is not large enough to provide economies of scale to a larger global market.

Learning and experience Beyond economies of scale it may be learning and experience effects continue to take place.
Sourcing efficiency Global purchasing can provide purchasers bargaining and negotiation power, making them dictate of purchase. Favorable logistics If product can be transported with ease and cost effectiveness, they fuel the global trend. Technology development costs In some industry the cost of innovation are so high that recouping investment requirees a global market, like airline and automotive sectors.

Governmental and economic drivers


Trade policies Policies that promote world trade encourage use of a global strategy. Integration of world capital markets Transactions on a global market require efficient and integrated financial markets. Global binding roles of law Safe business transactions occur if rules can be globally applied and upheld.

Introduction Drivers of global world

Competitive drivers
Globalized competitors when by competitors adopt globalized approaches, often it is necessary for others to match or pre-empt their move by following a similar route. Interdependent countries Companies taking actions in one country usually find they are being closely monitored by customers and companies alike in other countries.

Evolution of business in the global environment

China Internationalization of its Automotive In 1980s China opened Auto market to international companies.
In 1983, American Motor Company signed a joint venture with Beijing Automotive Works. Since then, some of foreign automakers followed, such as: Volkwagen, GM, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mazda, Hyundai and KIA. In 2009 GM had 9 joint venture with wholly own distribution centre. GM employee 32.000 employees in China and relocating its international operation from Detroit to Shanghai.GM commands 11% market share, sold 1,46 million cars. GM has been increasing 60% revenue compared to 2008. China has become the fastest automotive growth country. In 2008 selling 9,5 mil cars, 2009 sold 10,89 mil cars. As the result, local car makers developed reverse engineering of international models. China now are reversing the trend from FDI by allowing domestic Chinese automakers to acquire foreign brands. The first was Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation in 2005 purchased MG Rover Group, and export the auto parts to all over the world.

R & D at Samsung By 2004 Samsung Electronics was spending more on R & D than other
Asian company outside Japan.

Evolution of business in the global environment

Samsung investment rose to $ 4,6 bn in 2004, while 2000 was $ 1,6 bn.
Samsung recruited 3000 scientists and engineers a year to its strong R&D workforce of 25.000 people. However, Samsung R&D centers are in Korea, headed in Suwon. Samsungs approach was its Value Improvement Program, based in Suwon. A team normally have between 15 to 80 members who work together on a project for a few months. The centre handled about 40 project a year. The team looked at every aspect of a proposed innovation, trying to cut production costs and improve performance. All together Samsung centre saved $ 2,5 bn in 2004, and further plan to save of $ 3,5 bn for the following year.

Innovation subsidiary location and management

Roles of subsidiary in innovation management

Strategic leader - The role for those companies which are highly
competent and situated in strategically important market. The subsidiary can become a partner to the centre of innovation.

Contributor - A subsidiary possessing distinctive competences, but operating in unimportant markets, can play a support role in the development of innovations and its strategies. Implementer Subsidiaries with low competences in R&D and operating strategically unimportant markets take on the role of implementer. It is important in realizing economies if scale, not thinking tank operations. Black hole Subsidiaries that operate in important markets, but lacking in capability base eat up resources without making significant returns.

Conclusion

Companies can no longer succeed by innovating just in their domestic markets, since competitors exploiting global markets can gain significant market and cost advantages. With such kind of pressure, many companies have evolved structures and systems to coordinate their operation for global competitive dynamics. The integrated network model, also known as the transnational structure form, occurs because it provides a balance between global efficiency and responsiveness effectively. This form become more pervasive into the future needs. To anticipate this situation, it is inevitably leading to the challenges of managing a diversity of people and cultures.
