ANSWER

 

Question 1

  1. Usaflex’s Internationalisation Process

The world has become a global village, and companies, including small start-up firms, are increasingly taking bold steps to explore their prospects in foreign markets. However, the success of internationalising is highly dependent on the strategy employed by the company to enter the target market. One such company is Usaflex, one of the leading manufacturers and sellers of comfortable leather shoes in Latin America. To understand Usaflex’s success in foreign markets, it is imperative to assess its internationalisation process. Like most multinationals, Usaflex’s internationalisation took a slow and gradual trajectory due to the uncertainty of cross-border transactions. Before expanding its operations to the rest of the world, Usaflex started by focusing on the domestic Brazilian and regional Latin market, with a long-term focus being large international markets such as the United States and Europe.
