... 2.1 Scope and purpose Purpose of this report Geographic market diversification is central to corporate strategies of successful global dairy players (Euromonitor, 2010a). The global dairy market will be driven by emerging regions that will account for up to 86% of global market growth in absolute retail value terms leading up to 2015 (Euromonitor, 2010a). Recent moves by leading dairy manufacturers show that successful strategies are focused on strengthening their positions and enhancing their production capacity, in particular emerging markets, in order to satisfy the rising demand for more industrially-processed dairy products in these regions (Euromonitor, 2010a). In light of these trends, this report explores the potential exporting or direct investment opportunities for Australian dairy products manufacturer Lion Dairy & Drinks Australia Pty Ltd (Lion) in Morocco, an emerging market in North Africa (See Appendix A for firm details). Diversifying into Morocco aligns with Lion’s vision to “be the leading and most trusted branded beverage & food company in our world” (Lion, 2011). The purpose of this report is to identify the comparative advantage Lion holds in the Australian market and evaluate if this can be maintained or recreated in the Moroccan market, making it an attractive diversification option.

The paper evaluates the potentials of the EPRG scheme (Ethnocentrism, Polycentrism, Regiocentrism, and Geocentrism) in choosing foreign investor. It enables company to analyze and predict its competitors' behavior. (Biljana Crnjak-Karanovič). The Ethnocentric, Polycentric, Regiocentric, and Geocentric Framework (EPRG) dates back to Perlmuter (1969) and his associates Wind and Douglas (1973). The EPRG framework identifies four management approaches or orientations of the company while internationalization process is taking place. The framework is based on the assumption that the level of a company’s involvement in the international business gradually evolves. EPRG orientations describe an exporter's process of evolution and internalization. Companies begin by being Ethnocentric, i.e., they emphasize...

...was initially referred to as Anand Milk Federation Union Limited hence the name AMUL. Formed in 1946, it is a brand managed by a cooperative body, the Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation Ltd. (GCMMF), which today is jointly owned by 3 million milk producers in Gujarat.[4] Amul spurred India's White Revolution, which made the country the world's largest producer of milk and milk products.[5] In the process Amul became the largest food brand in India and has ventured into markets overseas. Dr Verghese Kurien, founder-chairman of the GCMMF for more than 30 years (1973–2006), is credited with the success of Amul.[6 History Amul the co-operative registered on 1 December 1946 as a response to the exploitation of marginal milk producers by traders or agents of the only existing dairy, the Polson dairy, in the small city distances to deliver milk, which often went sour in summer, to Polson. The prices of milk were arbitrarily determined. Moreover, the government had given monopoly rights to Polson to collect milk from Anand and supply it to Bombay city.[7][8] Angered by the unfair trade practices, the farmers of Kaira approached Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel under the leadership of local farmer leader Tribhuvandas K. Patel. He advised them to form acooperative and supply milk directly to the Bombay Milk Scheme instead of Polson (who did the same but gave them low prices).[9] He sent Morarji Desai to organise the farmers. In 1946, the milk farmers of the area went on a strike...
