Internationalization

Globalization is here to stay! To be competitive, companies need to look for new markets.

Portuguese exporting companies still sell abroad more as result of a growth process and in response to concrete consultations and not due to a strategic choice of internationalization.

However, in this context, and in response to international competitive pressures having an impact on the internal market and the constraints of the domestic market itself, regular exporting companies quickly became aware of the synergistic benefits arising from the need for integrated planning and procedures and an overall strategy for the expansion of its business.

What about the other companies? Have you thought about taking your company across borders?

Is it possible to do this keeping the same structure and without any extra costs beyond the normal variables?

How do they make themselves known in the international market?

In what markets should they intervene?

What international consumers are interested in my business? How should they enter these countries? What is the best way to reach the consumer?

Internationalization is one of the best growth strategies and can be boosted by marketing innovation, product diversification and processes that can make the company more competitive by optimizing costs and lowering the cost of selling, distributing and After-sales service
