Description

Telemetrix (B) – Telemetrix in Brazil: Indirect Export, Subcontract, or Licence?: Abstract

Case B “Telemetrix in Brazil: Indirect Export, Outsourcing, or Licence?” focuses on the choice of an entry mode to penetrate a foreign market, in this case, Brazil, and, based on this choice, on the selection of a local business partner. It also addresses the difficulty of developing international customer-supplier relations. Just like Case A, Case B is a decision-making case. Julie-Anne Cabana must determine the best entry mode and which partners will lead Telemetrix to success in Brazil and, subsequently, elsewhere in South America.

“Telemetrix” is a two-part case study; its parts can be used alone or in sequence. See Part A here.
