Presentations of rapidly internationalizing firms
MAKIA
Strong connections in central-Europe such as Zalando
Failed to enter US and Australian markets: The main segment is snowboarding customers who like the style. Key would be to locate right segments and then enter those markets
Internationalization is vital
Problems with quality and deliveries while relocating production to low-cost country
Internationalization through networks. Collaborating with big known such as Muumi and Urban outfitters
In my opinion MAKIA should rethink their target customers and segments, and then do the decisions of which foreign markets to enter and start networking consistently. Right now they have tried to internationalize inconsistently in different markets, which leads to failures in big markets
MAKIA is not that well-known brand, they should get more attention before they can success globally
ZOOM
Because the service is online, internationalization was easy. This is because online-based systems are easy to distribute globally.
Network started from the founders personal connections. Later on when the company got bigger, networks focused on huge companies such as Microsoft and Salesforce.
Pandemic helped the company to internationalize rapidly because of the sudden need for comminucaton technology. Right now the company has over 300 million users
Networks were not that vital for internationalization because of the online-based system.
Zoom has begun to create an ecosystem around itself. It doesn't as much depend on the others than maybe others depend on it.
Factors that helped the growth:
