Abstract

Export strategy, a crucial part of international business management, can directly affect the success of transnational companies' business performance linked to their host-country nationals. In the meantime, a well-rounded export strategy should be formulated based on the analysis of both internal and external environment scanning.

This report offers export strategy recommendations for Aussie Fresh, an Australian company that sells fresh fruit, vegetables and wines to Asia. From the standpoint of business consulting, the common analyzing tools used were Hofstede's cultural dimension values, Porter's five forces model, PESTEL framework analysis, SWOT analysis and VRIO framework.

Final recommendations for Aussie Fresh entering the Vietnamese market are reflected in four aspects.

First, it is advisable to adopt direct export as the entry strategy as it is the least risky one judging by the status quo. Meanwhile, Aussie Fresh should choose local distributors carefully by leveraging favorable trade agreements between two countries. Secondly, it is recommended to fit in Vietnamese business culture by identifying suitable agents/distributors for the company's products. Suggested fresh produce and wines can be distributed through retailers such as supermarkets, hypermarkets, convenience stores and hotels, bars and restaurants. Thirdly, they should choose warehouse locations adjacent to Vietnamese local distribution centers that are easily accessed by sea freight. In terms of transportation, small product samples can be shipped by air while sea shipping can be used to deliver products in larger quantities.
