Why small firms fail in expanding abroad ?
1. Lack of foreign market information
2. Limited trading knowledge of personnel
3. Inappropriateness of price/quality for the needs of the market
4. Low profit prospects
5. Existence of various financial constraints
6. Prevalence of fierce competition
7. Wrong perception of risks
8. Various legal/institutional constraints

We have to internationalize or
die.
It is too risky to depend on the home market
alone.
Only a few players will
survive…
Eat or be eaten!
Bigger is better!
It is key to have global access to clients.
Our home market is too small…

Expansion of an existing product offering to a foreign country
Risk to move to far from the core business
Risk to jeopardize the company business model (Porter 1996, Ghemawat 2007)
Risk of “liability of foreignness”, which puts the firm at a competitive disadvantage vis-à-vis local firms (Zaheer, 1995)

Biotech & Co.
Why expand internationally? • To substantially raise sales volume to recoup the high (R&D) costs the company incurs in developing new products • To be first-tier suppliers to major clinical research labs in the world and co-create new products with these labs • In both countries: same customer segment (i.e. clinical research laboratories)
