Appropriate strategy to be adopted by an organization in
overseas market of the Huawei
For a great organization of a country to establish a
position in global market, the key factor is to understand the market, it’s
investing strategies how it works and what steps should be followed. In today’s
world of business, operating in one general region prevents all the gates to
success to opens; it means the organization does not even exist. So going
global is way to exist and expand your business. Expanding business in global
market can be a tough challenge, but if one succeeds then advantages overweigh
disadvantages. Asia is acknowledged as market that emerges business of
organizations. The region provides business opportunities and developmental
plans. The global middle class is thought to reach 3.2 billion in 2020, and
largest growth will take place in Asia. So if an organization wants to expand
business globally, initiation from Asia is the secret. Huawei emerged from
China and is well known in Asia with greater customer demand.
Things change every day, new tactics and marketing and
investing strategies are introduced every day. New markets provide opportunity
to increase the company revenue. Before expansion of business in different
geographical regions, cultural values of the market and region should be
understood. If research on cultural values of region is not done then financial
and reputational problems can take place. Number of Chinese companies have set
goal to expand their business worldwide with no international experience and
have become global business giants now. Many Chinese companies do not intend to
expand their business globally. China has population of 1.42 billion; Chinese
market itself is quiet big for the business. It was not significant for many
Chinese companies to expand their business. Huawei is not one of those
organizations; it intends to expand the business globally. [3]
Huawei has made decision to shift to global market. This
Chinese company has 180,000 employees which fulfill the needs of 3 billion
customers. The company has always been a closed company led by its employees.
Huawei, employee owned company when decides to function globally it cannot be a
surprise to their owner Ren Zhengfei. However, Huawei is a company which has
vision of creating an integrative work culture in the company. When the company
goes global the employees will enjoy global awareness. [4]
Standardized or localized? A discussion of the Huawei.
Market of China is fast growing and pretty competitive and
compels other countries to explore the market. Markets of China were
manufacturers but now they have shifted to become service orientated. Customers
of China want innovative, fast goods and services like any other customer of
the world. Many companies have met customer of their country so in their
opinion they are able to expand internationally now. Cost of production and labor
has dramatically increased in China. So in order to fulfill that demand more
working units are required which can decrease cost per unit. Many companies
tend to become global because it will make them an asset and national ambition
of becoming influential at global level will be achieved.
Now, several Chinese corporations are home brands in Western
and Eastern region. Some are on learning, some are trying and some have adopted
the mindset and achieved the target of going global. When a company decides to
go global and expand their organization’s name and business. They are actually
telling their customers to have a global mindset and expectations from the
organization. Achievement of global business requires mobilization of the
employees and market survey. Chinese companies have frame shifted from a closed
country to the world’s second largest economy. They have expanded their
business so often that now they are efficient at it and have great experience
with dealing with several different cultures. [5]
Huawei being a telecommunication brand has ability to
flourish worldwide. It has done some amazing business being localized but now
it’s time to go global to leave customers from all over the world in awe from
the extent of their innovation, dedication and quality. The organization
considers its people as the biggest asset and work to meet up to their demands.
Cross cultural sensitivity is the quality of the organization and has vast
knowledge to deal with customers globally. The company heads believe that it
will not only fulfill the need of Chinese customers but also worldwide. Company
gives full support to its customers to work abroad in company name.
How to minimize investment risks of the Huawei
Investment risks can be minimized by understanding tolerance
of your organization. Risks comes with every investment, the important step is
how far you can go to reduce the rate of risk. Risk capital and net worth are
two factors which help to determine risk tolerance of your organization. Net
worth is value of assets, Risk capital is the sum of money which you will
invest and can lose if things do not work out as expected.
Before investing, it is better to understand the condition
of the market. There should be diversification of products in order to sustain
position in a different market. Regular monitoring can reduce the risk as well.
International marketing strategies of the Huawei
The international marketing strategies of China have unique
Chinese way of thinking and working. Organizations which intend to grow
internationally need to have successful market strategies. Cultural values
produce great influence on marketing strategies. People use a product on the
basis of their cultural values. Before doing business in a foreign country
cultural values of the region should be understood. Cultural things include
language (verbal and non-verbal), use of technology and information, institutions,
education, values of the country, religion and other cultural norms. [6]
Importance of cultural values for marketing strategies of the
Huawei
Before going global and investing international it is better
to understand the attitudes, motivation, perception and learning of the people
of the country. Having strategies in order to sell a product in a market it is
important. Diversification of culture and market can make marketing strategies
difficult. A specific group is studied and analyzed and then the marketing
strategies are established. Culture has various elements which have direct or
indirect effect on marketing strategies. Any good investor or good marketer
cannot ignore studying cultural values of region where he is intending to
expand his business.
Variety of culture, customs, traditions, language etc.
around the world result in diversification in different parts of the world.
Before promoting the products marketer has to have vast knowledge of these
features, in order to sell their products. Market study is said to give
prediction about future investment in a country or globally anywhere. For
product promotion and healthy investment, the team must to good market study.
The impact of social and cultural values can have an effect on market
investment. Assessment of activities which are long term should be known and
learned by the researchers. [7]
