Problem:
You've developed a very popular, up-scale but reasonably priced, clothing fashion line for young people. You produce designs in a number of countries, manufacturing in low-cost locations, and with retail outlets in major U.S. and European cities. Demand is popping and you have access to plenty of production capacity and capital. Answer the following questions:
- How should you organize the business outside of the U.S.?
- Should you set-up reasonably independent companies, subsidiaries, in each foreign market?
- What would that do and not do for you?
- Or, do you want to impose a strict brand image, procedures, and central planning from headquarters, where your offices are?
- What are the pros and cons of this approach?
