Master's Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1, University of Vienna, language: English, abstract: Multinational enterprises (MNEs) are becoming increasingly present on the global market. Since their products and services are offered globally, their multinational strategies must be adapted to different cultures, environments of target countries and their internal strengths. Since the market in the 21st century is oversaturated, it is no wonder that more and more MNEs are targeting emerging markets for multiple business opportunities. Since markets are very dynamic, entry strategies chosen by MNEs must be up to date with market changes. Although MNEs are present in the global market and well acquainted with its dynamics, entry into certain countries is not always an easy task. The main concern of this thesis is to evaluate international entry strategies of companies operating in fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) industries in China and India. Additionally, the thesis aims in exploring and evaluating the consistency of the market entry strategies performed by one specific company (P&G) and two different theoretical frameworks, namely: - Resource-Based Theory by Grant (1991) and - Eclectic paradigm (OLI) by Dunning (2000). For the purposes of this thesis I concentrate on one of the largest and best-known MNEs delivering widely known consumer goods, namely, Procter and Gamble (P&G). My interest lies in exploring whether P&G ́s market entries in two target markets can be compared to above mentioned theories. If not, the goal is to understand inconsistencies and factors which influence them. Emerging markets have a very unique nature which could be a challenge even for the most successful MNEs like P&G. Therefore, understanding these could be a very complex but unavoidable process in order to achieve long term winning strategy.

Master's Thesis from the year 2011 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 0,9, University of St Andrews (Management), course: Global Business Strategy, language: English, abstract: During the last few decades, globalization has created an increasingly competitive landscape and with established markets becoming saturated, multinational enterprises (MNEs) have turned towards emerging markets in order to capitalise on new opportunities for economic growth (London and Hart 2004). Especially through the recent global crisis, the key role of developing and emerging countries, as they have sought to sustain global economic growth, has become the focal point of worldwide interest (Rao 2010). According to McKinsey (2010), “an ongoing shift in global economic activity from developed to developing economies, accompanied by growth in the number of consumers in emerging markets, are the global developments that executives around the world view as the most important for business and the most positive for their own companies profits over the next five years.” The results of recent surveys, such as those by the International Monetary Fund, predict that developing and emerging markets will grow by 6.3% in 2011 In turn this has evoked a significant sense of urgency among several MNE executives (Rao 2010). Furthermore, a survey by McKinsey (2011) found that in the coming decade more then 45% of global GDP growth will be contributed by China, India, Russia, Indonesia, Turkey and Mexico. Likewise, in about 15 years time about 57% of the one billion households with an income > 20.000$ per annum will be in developing countries. As Cavusgil et al (2002, p. 166) pointed out, “...once thought of as backward and low tech, these regions are now rapidly transforming their economies.” By adopting new production techniques and technologies, markets such as China, India and South Korea have become vital places for production. Many companies from traditional developed nations have capitalised on this trend, shifting their production and research and development (R&D) facilities, and strengthening their distribution and service networks in emerging markets. In so doing, foreign market activities have reached a new stage of development: beyond the BRIC-countries second-tier emerging markets are becoming an economic driving force, which means that companies must adapt their product and service strategies in an effort to develop sustainable success by not only reaching premium customers but also “Micro-Potentials”, the huge mass of customers with small budgets (KPMG 2011; Pacek and Thorniley 2007).

Book Description
Master's Thesis from the year 2008 in the subject Business economics - Economic Policy, grade: 1,3, European School of Business Reutlingen, 100 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: In recent years, China and India have become two of the most important markets in terms of sales, low-cost manufacturing and R&D operations. The future progress will increase the competitive advantage for both countries and attract MNC's from all over the world to invest. Nevertheless, success is not guaranteed, even with the large business opportunities that China and India provide. A MNC has to be aware of various challenges that both countries pose, such as government interventions, underdeveloped infrastructures or copyright violations. Hence, MNC's need efficient strategies in order to compete and improve their position in these markets. Particularly the implementation of an efficient innovation and knowledge strategy has become a crucial aspect. Effectiveness in local product adjustments, globalizing R&D, tailoring talent management, mastering the complexity of global value chains, and managing risks are success factors that have to be considered. This, however, is not an easy task. Multiple failures of MNC's in China and India demonstrate that it is important to adapt a company's strategy to the local customer needs and to obtain a competitive advantage in the field of innovation. The purpose of this master thesis is to discuss all these aspects and present crucial factors for the implementation of an efficient strategy for the two markets China and India, with a focus on innovation and knowledge. Obviously, there are limits to the scope of this dissertation. Some aspects as for example the cultural background of both countries, governmental restrictions, the role of outsourcing or the availability of financial resources have either not been considered or are only discussed briefly. Moreover, this dissertation will only provide a general overview as the
