The company can be operating only in the domestic market or already internationalized.
Drawing on your analyses, reveal potential motivations for the company to (further) extend to international markets.
Create a presentation for your analysis
You can choose your company from any industry and size but it should be “born” in Singapore.
You can focus on the company as a whole. If it is a very big company, you may want to narrow your focus on a specific brand/product/unit.
The company could be fully domestic or an already international one. Make sure there are some markets the company does NOT operate in so that you can use it for Assignment 2.
