Through leveraging their foundational strategic partnership with General Electric (48% ownership) and developing others in new markets, Mabe was able to quickly spread it’s influence in international markets however, it now faced the challenge of pushing beyond Latin and North American markets. Boasting a sizeable and highly profitable appliance industry, Russia represents an attractive opportunity for Mabe however, with opportunities come a number of potential issues. This paper will address the core issue of whether Mabe should remain in the Russian market. The symptomatic issues that arise from this concern the suitability of Mabe’s joint venture partner Fagor, it’s future pricing strategy, whether to start producing locally and if other geographic markets should be entered. Various strategic and financial tools will be utilized to capture the relationship between the aforementioned issues and Mabe’s positioning as a whole, allowing the presentation of recommendations and thorough implementation plans.

...SECTION IV: RECOMMENDATIONS Decision Criteria MABE’s decision criteria for evaluating their current position as part of a joint venture in Russia includes: * The joint ventures’ ability to generate future sales growth and substantial operating margin * The impact of Russia’s changing external environment on the joint venture and MABE as a whole * Other global opportunities for growth in emerging markets, including China and India OPTION 1. Continue Operations in Russia with the JV Cons: * The JV may have not yielded the results the venture intended on achieving, but the potential for earning increased profit exists. They will have to work hard for it to produce, as it should. * Amount of expenses currently incurred by MABE can be cut significantly but not at the current operational plan. Pros: * The venture currently has a 4 percent market share in stove sales, and a 2 percent market share in refrigerators and washing machines in operations in Russia. * Sales were at $70 Million in 2011, which suggests an increase in consumption and spending in Russia since the economic downfall of 2008. * The narrowing of the JV’s product line should produce better results than their previous expectations of providing a broad line of products able to serve the Russian market. * Strengthened management team within the past four years * Being fused within Fagor’s portfolio * Being within a such a vast geographical market. OPTION 2. Implement...
