couple of years however China is in no way a uniform and homogenous market socially and economically  

• Uneven rates of economic growth

Why India

• wide gap between personnel costs in India and in the developed countries.

• Fast-developing infrastructure.• Pricing flexibility • Talented work force.• Favorable government policies• Support of a stable pro-IT government.• Uninterrupted communication channels with clients

Page 9: Geox - bric countries analysis

• Reduced Manageria Control --- Local managers don't have the physical proximity they might need to manage a staff in India effectively. It can be difficult to know when employees are being productive, and which areas of a certain project need immediate attention.

• Time Loss --- It takes considerable time to manage a project outsourced to India. The company must weigh the company's financial gain against time spent doing things like communicating with local client and then transferring that information to India. Companies also have to consider costs like airfares, visas and accommodations for people traveling to India.

• Long-Term Costs --- According to "Forbes" magazine, India's cost advantage will vanish by 2015, partly because Indian wages are expected to rise at a rate of 15 percent annually.

• Data/Copyright Risks --- Outsourcing to India can cause licensing and copyright problems. The outsourced project can be copied and resold to one of the business' competitors. Furthermore, confidential and personal information might be at risk when the project is outsourced to India, particularly in banking and financial business processes.

WHY NOT INDIA

•Geox offered Sevyan another distribution contract in 2009 with worse terms. Their cooperation then ceased and Sevyan offered to provide the outlets to Geox S.p.A. in exchange for compensating his costs.

• Also In 2009, the Russian market has suffered the negative effects of the crisis, registering a decline consumption: Italian exports to this market have decreased, although "Made in Italy" maintain a quality far superior to that of the local productions: this competitive advantage Italian companies could still work very hard to translate into an advantage economically.

Why not?• The main labor force in russia is located outside the big cities such as

moskow and st. pitsburg.

• Russia is amongst the countries with a great number of roads, but the state roads there stands far behind than that in leading countries

• Knowledge of distribution channels in Russia remains a big barrier, and many times the biggest barrier, to success for investors who can't access their customers

• Language barriers often make having a Russian representative essential

• Many of the inefficiencies in the government apparatus can be attributed to high levels of corruption. Some argue that corruption has become engrained in the country’s system of wealth creation and distribution

• Russia’s economy relies heavily on its energy sector for economic growth, with an extremely tight correlation between oil prices and the country’s GDP.
