5.0 Market Entry Strategy
5.1 Strategic Planning
The international strategy is going to be used to export the Cervena Venison product. This is the most suitable choice because according to Hill et. al (2007) this strategy is about taking products from the domestic market and selling them in the international market with little customisation.
