Is there a demand that is not satisfied by a local company?<\/li>\n<li>Perform a&nbsp;SWOT analysis&nbsp;against competition. Your product will likely be higher priced than local products. Will the market buy your product?<\/li>\n<li>Consider market opportunity\/sizing. How big is the market and how long will it take you to capture your targeted sales?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Develop a Strategy and Business Plan<\/h3>\n<p>Each market has its own nuances due to economic, cultural, governmental, and market conditions. It is important to develop a localized strategy and business plan that drives local success while remaining integrated with the overall corporate strategy and objectives.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Define short-, medium-, and long-term strategy. Set reasonable goals to measure progress and cost\/benefits.<\/li>\n<li>Define goals, objectives, and success metrics.<\/li>\n<li>Complete the business model and structure. Decide if you set up a separate company, a branch, or a sales office.<\/li>\n<li>Develop a top-down annual budget.<\/li>\n<li>Develop a tactical project plan with commit dates.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Establish a Beachhead Team<\/h3>\n<p>Many global companies try to launch with executives from the parent company or rapidly build a local team from scratch. This is time consuming, risky, and slows time to market. Using proven senior interim executives allows the company to hit the ground running, quickly validate assumptions, and drive key readiness initiatives while the company hires the right senior management team.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bring on senior interim executives with deep domain expertise or outsource interim leadership to executive leadership organizations.<\/li>\n<li>Establish the financial infrastructure\u2014consider outsourcing this to local service providers.<\/li>\n<li>Begin the recruiting process for the permanent leadership team.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Product Readiness<\/h3>\n<p>Based on the product gap analysis, take the necessary steps to market-ready your offerings to achieve high-impact product differentiation.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Review government- and industry-specific regulations to ensure that compliance and certifications are obtained if needed.<\/li>\n<li>Determine if any localization of the product is needed. Pay close attention to the translation of the name of your product in the local language.<\/li>\n<li>Initiate a patent and trademark review\u2014some countries are known for \u201ccopying\u201d good ideas.<\/li>\n<li>Initiate testing and quality assurance review based on local standards.<\/li>\n<li>Consider a local logistics and distribution network. Who will sell your product and how will it get to them?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Organizational Readiness<\/h3>\n<p>Cultural differences, whether it is language, regulations, or customs, requires a firm to be flexible in the policies and procedures implemented in an international operation to ensure employees are engaged and executing on the company\u2019s plans. The \u201cone size fits all\u201d mindset can have short-term benefits but will have negative long-term effects.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Evaluate the organization structure needed to successfully execute your strategy.<\/li>\n<li>Develop policies, procedures, and handbooks that comply with local requirements while maintaining balance with overall company policies.<\/li>\n<li>Develop competitive benefits programs to attract qualified local employees.<\/li>\n<li>Develop competitive compensation packages based on local standards and customs.<\/li>\n<li>Develop a local information technology infrastructure that is compatible with your domestic infrastructure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u039f \u03c4\u03bf\u03bc\u03ad\u03b1\u03c2 \u03b5\u03c6\u03b1\u03c1\u03bc\u03bf\u03b3\u03ae\u03c2 \u03bc\u03b1\u03c2 \u03c0\u03b1\u03c1\u03ad\u03c7\u03b5\u03b9 \u03bc\u03b9\u03b1 \u03c3\u03b5\u03b9\u03c1\u03ac \u03bb\u03cd\u03c3\u03b5\u03c9\u03bd, \u03b2\u03b1\u03c3\u03b9\u03c3\u03bc\u03ad\u03bd\u03c9\u03bd \u03c3\u03c4\u03bf\u03bd \u03c0\u03c1\u03bf\u03cb\u03c0\u03bf\u03bb\u03bf\u03b3\u03b9\u03c3\u03bc\u03cc \u03c3\u03b1\u03c2, \u03b3\u03b9\u03b1 \u03bd\u03b1 \u03b5\u03be\u03b1\u03c3\u03c6\u03b1\u03bb\u03af\u03c3\u03b5\u03c4\u03b5 \u03b2\u03b9\u03ce\u03c3\u03b9\u03bc\u03b7 \u03b1\u03bb\u03bb\u03b1\u03b3\u03ae \u03ba\u03b1\u03b9 \u03c3\u03c5\u03bd\u03b5\u03c7\u03cc\u03bc\u03b5\u03bd\u03b7 \u03b2\u03b5\u03bb\u03c4\u03af\u03c9\u03c3\u03b7 \u03c3\u03c4\u03b7\u03bd \u03b5\u03c0\u03b9\u03c7\u03b5\u03af\u03c1\u03b7\u03c3\u03ae \u03c3\u03b1\u03c2.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u039c\u03b7 \u03b4\u03b9\u03c3\u03c4\u03ac\u03c3\u03b5\u03c4\u03b5 \u03bd\u03b1 \u03b5\u03c0\u03b9\u03ba\u03bf\u03b9\u03bd\u03c9\u03bd\u03ae\u03c3\u03b5\u03c4\u03b5 \u03bc\u03b1\u03b6\u03af \u03bc\u03b1\u03c2.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Manager\u2019s Office<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Marketing Team<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before going global, it is critical to understand what the full impact on your business will be.
