In a world with zero transportation costs and no trade barriers, firms must expand internationally to leverage significant differences in factor conditions across nations. This allows them to access cheaper labor, unique resources, and diverse markets, enhancing competitiveness and profitability. Without such expansion, firms risk stagnation or obsolescence as global competition intensifies. Ultimately, international growth becomes essential for survival and success in a rapidly evolving global landscape.
What is the motivation for international expansion of firms within each category?
Firms expand internationally for various reasons, typically categorized as market-seeking, resource-seeking, efficiency-seeking, and strategic asset-seeking motivations. Market-seeking firms aim to access new customer bases and increase sales, while resource-seeking firms look for essential inputs like raw materials or labor. Efficiency-seeking firms pursue cost reductions through economies of scale or lower operational costs, and strategic asset-seeking firms seek to acquire valuable capabilities, technologies, or brands that enhance their competitive advantage. Each category reflects a distinct strategic goal that drives firms to explore opportunities beyond their domestic markets.
