Selected Characteristics of the Three Dimensions of International Strategy
Adaptation Aggregation Arbitrage
Competitive Advantage Why should we globalize at all?
to achieve local relevance through national focus while exploiting some economies of scale
to achieve scale and scope economies through international standardization
to achieve absolute economies through international specialization
Configuration Where should we locate operations overseas?
mainly in foreign countries that are similar to the home base, to limit the effects of cultural, administrative, geographic, and economic distance
in a more diverse set of countries, to exploit some elements of distance
Coordination How should we connect international operations?
by country, with emphasis on achieving local presence within borders
by business, region, or customers, with emphasis on horizontal relation- ships for cross-border economies of scale
by function, with emphasis on vertical relationships, even acrossorganizational boundaries
Controls What types of extremes should we watch for?
excessive variety or complexity
excessive standardization, with emphasis on scale
narrowing spreads

Characteristics of Emerging Country MNCs and Traditional MNCs
Feature Emerging Market MNCs Traditional MNCs Speed of Internationalization accelerated gradual Competitive Advantages weak: upgrading of resources required strong: required resources available in-house Political Capabilities strong: firms are used to unstable political environments weak: firms are used to stable political environments In Search of Markets dual path: simultaneous entry into developed and developing countries single path: from less to more distant countries Expansion Path In Search of Lower Costs into less developed countries as home country development raises production costs into less developed countries
In Search of Strategic Assets into more developed countries into similar developed countries Preferred Entry Mode external growth: alliances, joint ventures, acquisitions internal growth: wholly owned subsidiaries
Organizational Adaptability
high, because of their recent and relatively limited international presence, which enables them to adapt technologies to small-scale markets, excel at projects execution and adopt new technology quickly

The Most Relevant Sets of Coordination Mechanisms
Formal Mechanisms Informal Mechanisms organisational structure: departmentalisation or grouping of organisational units lateral or cross-departmental relations: direct managerial contact, temporary or permanent teams, task forces, committees, integrators, and integrative departments centralisation: centralisation or decentralisation of decision making through the hierarchy of formal authority informal communication: personal contacts among managers, management trips, meetings, conferences, transfer of managers, etc.
formalisation and standardisation: written policies, rules, job descriptions, and standard procedures, through instruments such as manuals, charts, etc.
normative integration: building an organisational culture of known and shares strategic objectives and values by training, transfer of managers, career path management, reward systems, etc.
planning: strategic planning, budgeting, functional plans, scheduling, etc. Source: Adapted from Martinez/Jarillo 1989, p. 491.

Shared Values at McKinsey & Co.
Put the client’s interest ahead of our own This means we deliver more value than expected. It doesn’t mean doing whatever the client asks. Behave as professionals Uphold absolute integrity. Show respect to local custom and culture, as long as we don’t compromise our integrity. Keep our client information confidential We don’t reveal sensitive information. We don’t promote our own good work. We focus on making our clients successful. Tell the truth as we see it We stay independent and able to disagree, regardless of the popularity of our views or their effect on our fees. We have the courage to invent and champion unconventional solutions to problems. We do this to help build internal support, get to real issues, and reach practical recommendations. Deliver the best of our firm to every client as cost effectively as we can We expect our people tospend clients’ and our firm’s resources as if their own resources were at stake
Source: McKinsey 2014.
Guiding Principles at McKinsey & Company
We operate as one firm. We maintain consistently high standards for service and people so that we can always bring the best team of minds from around the world—with the broadest range of industry and functional experience—to bear on every engagement. We come to better answers in teams than as individuals. So we do not compete against each other. Instead, we share a structured problem-solving approach, where all opinions and options are considered, researched, and analysed carefully before recommendations are made. We give each other tireless support. We are fiercely dedicated to developing and coaching one another and our clients. Ours is a firm of leaders who want the freedom to do what they think is right.

Strengths and Weaknesses of a Global Functional Structure
Strengths Weaknesses intensive knowledge transfer concerning the function focus on key functions functional expertise centralisation/standardisation helps to “unify” the corporation one line of responsibility avoidance of double work knowledge transfer concerning other fields rather low (specific requirements of certain product groups, regions, customer groups often neglected) potentially low motivation due to centralisation slow reaction to changes in certain countries due to standardisation and formalisation high requirements for information processing by top management potentially lack of market orientation difficult for subsidiaries with whole value-added chains Source: Adapted from Zentes/Swoboda/Morschett 2004, p. 765.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Licensing
Advantages Disadvantages Increases income on products already developed as a result of expensive research. Permits entry into markets that are otherwise closed on account of high rates of duty, import quotas and so on. A viable option where manufacture is near the customer‘s base. Requires little capital investment and should provide a higher rate of return on capital employed. There may be valuable spin-offs if the licensor can sell other products or components to the licensee. If these parts are for products being manufactured locally or machinery, there may also be some tariff concessions on their import. The licensor is not exposed to the danger of nationalization or expropriation of assets. Because of the limited capital requirements, new products can be exploited rapidly, on a worldwide basis, before competition develops. The licensor can take immediate advantage of the licensee‘s local marketing and distribution organization and of existing customer contacts. Protects patents, especially in countries that give weak protection for products not produced locally. Local manufacture may also be an advantage in securing government contracts. The licensee may prove less competent than expected at marketing or other management activities. Costs may even grow faster than income. The licensee, even if it reaches an agreed minimum turnover, may not fully exploit the market, leaving it open to the entry of competitors, so that the licensor loses control of the marketing operation. Danger of the licensee running short of funds, especially if considerable plant expansion is involved or an injection of capital is required to sustain the project. This danger can be turned to advantage if the licensor has funds available by a general expansion of the business through a partnership. Licence fees are normally a small percentage of turnover, about 5 per cent, and will often compare unfavourably with what might be obtained from a company’s own manufacturing operation. Lack of control over licensee operations. Quality control of the product is difficult - and the product will often be sold under the licensor’s brand name. Negotiations with the licensee, and sometimes with local government, are costly. Governments often impose conditions on transferral of royalties or on component supply.

Types of M&A Strategies
Acquisitions that are conducted with the purpose of post-acquisition asset stripping.
Raider Acquisition
The management of the takeover target has a positive attitude towards the takeover.
Friendly Takeover
The takeover target is unwilling to be acquired or the target’s management has no prior knowledge of the offer.
Unfriendly/Hostile Takeover
Specific type of a hostile takeover in which the acquiring company attempts to convince the existing shareholders to use their proxy votes to install a new management that is open for the takeover.
Proxy Contest
Public, open offer by an acquirer to all shareholders. The bidder contacts the shareholders directly, inviting them to sell their shares to the offer price.
Tender Offer
Companies of equal size come together. Often, one of the merging companies is considered the “primus inter pares” once the merger has taken place.
Merger of Equals
Acquisition of a company with cash that is raised with a preponderance of debt raised by the acquirer. Several different types of LBO exist, depending on the acquiring party, for example investor buyout, management buyout, or employee buyout can be distinguished.
Leveraged Buyout (LBO)
The objective of the acquisition is to integrate the takeover target into the network of the MNC, e.g. to realise synergies, economies of scale, etc.

Barriers to Cross-border M&As
Structural Barriers Statutory strong powers for supervisory boards to block mergers; unions and workers’ councils have say on takeovers and strong redundancy rights issue of bearer shares, double voting or non-voting shares; absence of one share, one vote (OSOV) principle discriminatory tax laws against foreign acquirers, e.g. withholding taxes on dividends Regulatory antitrust regulation, foreign investment review, rules of stock exchange and professional self-regulatory bodies absence of statutory or voluntary bodies to regulate takeovers Infrastructure absence of M&A services, e.g. legal, accounting, investment banking services Technical Barriers Management two-tier boards which cannot be removed or changed quickly families dominate shareholding powers to issue shares with differential voting rights or to friendly persons powers to limit maximum voting rights; powers to override shareholders in company’s interest Information Barriers Accounting accounting statements not available, quality of information poor low compliance with international generally accepted accounting principles; accounting practice biased to avoid tax liability, or conservative, hence accounting statements opaque Shareholders due to issue of bearer shares, shareholding structure not known Regulation regulatory procedures not known or unpredictable Culture and Tradition Attitude “to sell is to admit failure” syndrome; dislike of hostile bids; dislike of institutional constraints on dividends or short-term profits unwillingness to disclose information Value system high premium on trust and confidence in negotiations rather than formal contracts Source: Adapted from Sudarsanam 2010, p. 231.

Factors Favouring Standardisation Factors Favouring Differentiation economies of scale, e.g. in R&D, production and marketing (experience curve effects) global competition convergence of tastes and consumer needs (consumer preferences are homogeneous) centralised management of international operations (possible to transfer experience across borders) a standardised concept is used by competitors high degree of transferability of competitive advantages from market to market easier communication, planning and control (e.g. through Internet and mobile technology) stock cost reduction local environment-induced adaptation, e.g. government and regulatory influences, legal issues, differences in technical standards (no experience curve effects) local competition variation in consumer needs (consumer needs are heterogeneous, e.g. because of cultural differences) fragmented and decentralised management with independent country subsidiaries an adapted concept is used by competitors low degree of transferability of competitive advantages from market to market
