Founded in 1948, Magna Argus is an American company that manufactures and sells television sets of average size. With a factory based in Pennsylvania and several distribution offices throughout the US, it produces and sells television sets of 25 and 27 inches. Each set is equipped with various options that affect their quality. In general, the 27 inch ones are more sophisticated than the 25 inch ones.
These products are then sold through various distribution channels (distribution centers, sales office etc.) in the US only. The US market for television is in saturation; Magna Argus wants to expand internationally in order to sustain its business. This paper suggests a strategy to successfully implement Magna Argus internationally, preceded by a diagnosis of the current situation of the company.
Magna Argus can develop outside the borders of the United States and it seems fitting that the company is a progressive international organization (as opposed to a multinational organization or Global). Indeed, TV sets are standard products, however, consumers are not the same and should be targeted differently. Also the benefits that each country can bring are different, and consequently the mode of implementation will not be the same in each country.
The strategic objectives followed by Magna Argus are: lower production costs; intensify its investments; amortizing costs; local flexibility.
