Growth in International Markets

Can managers afford to be conservative when taking decisions related to potential growth prospects?

After a company has successfully entered a foreign market, it may decide to continue to grow. Decisions to invest further can become easier to make based on the company’s experience in that market.

In early 2009, the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC), Europe’s largest bank, announced that it was retreating from its expansion plans in the U.S. HSBC had recorded a $16 billion bad-debt loss in 2008. The loss was from an acquisition that initially cost the bank $14.8 billion. HSBC also had an additional $10 billion write-down on goodwill from its acquisition. The decision was primarily influenced by the eroding U.S. real estate market and a decline in the lending portfolio value of Household Financial, a six-year-old acquisition. Federal policies and regulations such as reduced interest rates, increased money supply, and Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP) funds were contributing factors.

Raising capital, finding labor, and leveraging existing distribution channels all play a part in the decision to grow further. However, growth in international markets continues to be a challenge despite any circumstances.
