Market entry strategies are methods companies use to plan, distribute and deliver goods to international markets. The cost and level of a company's control over distribution can vary depending on the strategy it chooses. Companies usually choose a strategy based on the type of product they sell, the value of the product and whether shipping it requires special handling procedures. Companies may also consider their current competition and consumer needs. To select an effective strategy, companies align their budgets with their product considerations, which often improves their chances of increasing revenue. The three primary factors that affect a company's choice of international market entry strategy are: Marketing: Companies consider which countries contain their target market and how they would market their product to this segment. Sourcing: Companies choose whether to produce the products, buy them or work with a manufacturer overseas. Control: Companies decide whether to enter the market independently or partner with other businesses when presenting their products to international markets.

From Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/101_(number)At universities in Australia, Canada, South Africa, and the United States, often the course number of basic or entry-level courses is 101. By extension, it is informally used elsewhere to indicate things that are meant for beginners. At universities with four-digit course numbers, the equivalent course number is 1001 or 1010. A "crash course." An example would be English 101, its the same thing as remedial English or Crash Course of English. This usage is not common in the United Kingdom.So basically, "Strategy 101" means "Strategy for Beginners".
