QUESTION
Internation Bus Discussion Board
You are the international manager of a U.S. business that has just developed a revolutionary new personal computer that can perform the same functions as existing PCs but costs only half as much to manufacture. Several patents protect the unique design for this computer in the United States. Your CEO has asked you to formulate a recommendation for how to expand in Western Europe. Your options are:
- to export from the United States
- to license a Western European firm to manufacture and market the computer in Europe
- to set up a wholly owned subsidiary in Western Europe
Evaluate the pros and cons of each alternative and suggest a course of action to your CEO.
