Abstract
This chapter will introduce students to various international organizational forms and the market entry strategies large enterprises (and sometimes small & medium enterprises—SMEs) use when they begin to grow the market for their products and services. The choice to conduct business in different parts of the world is a very conscious and deliberate one and part of the growth strategies that many firms do. As we introduce different organizational forms for international business, the clash of business and financial practices between the host country and the multinational corporation becomes even more evident and requires careful navigation of political, finance, accounting, and cultural norms. Students will be able to apply concepts learned in previous chapters as they look to understand the role of organizational culture meshing with national cultures whether the organizational form is simply doing business with a dealership or franchisee in another country or in a much more complex organizational market entry forms like collaborations, joint ventures, and mergers/acquisitions.
