Executive summary
Internationalization Program
I have more than 10 years’ experience in helping small to medium-sized firms develop, implement, manage, and evaluate entry strategies for market penetration, market development, and product expansion purposes. Intensive experience building new products, conquering intractable strategic issues and driving revenue growth for start-up, small and medium-sized firms. I am a pioneer in the integration of strategic thinking with functional areas within the firm that have generated increased sales and market penetration through the re-segmentation of markets and the repositioning of existing product families for my clients. I am experienced in the presentation and communication of strategic objectives, and the building of and control over functional, procedural programs and policies to achieve sustainable foreign-market penetration. I am a past contributor to forward-thinking organizations ranging from manufacturing start-ups to companies in multiple sectors.
There are two (2) sorts of internationalization programs: the continuing internationalization program and the first-stage internationalization program. The continuing internationalization program can be described any firm that has at least two functional activities operating across at least one national border. For instance, a United States’ based ball bearing manufacturer producing his ball bearings in one of the free trade areas of Northern Mexico, seeks to add sourcing of the primary raw material (steel) from Canada. The ball bearing manufacturer had to take that “first-step” and move (part of) its productive capacity to Northern Mexico in the first place. The “second step” or ‘continuing step’ would be to source steel from outside the United States.
A “first-stage” internationalization program is any firm that, besides its sales activities, has none of its functional activities outside of the original market. That is, other than periodic sales to foreign markets, it doesn’t source materials from outside its original market, doesn’t do any promotions outside its original market, nor does it formalize its strategic direction to take into account foreign markets. It is this type of internationalization I most specialize in. First stage internationalization programs require a strategic perspective. Considering that small to medium-sized firms have no formalized strategy in place, this is the first set of activities performed. Use of formalized strategic methodologies permit the firm to understand how they ‘fit’ into their industry, external environment, plus provide the small to medium-sized enterprise
