Read the case study found in the textbook (Case 17): Haier Group: Internationalization Strategy. (Attached)
Remember, a case study is a puzzle to be solved, so before reading and answering the specific case and study questions, develop your proposed solution by following these five steps:
- Read the case study to identify the key issues and underlying issues. These issues are the principles and concepts of the course area which apply to the situation described in the case study.
- Record the facts from the case study which are relevant to the principles and concepts of the course area issues. The case may have extraneous information not relevant to the current course area. Your ability to differentiate between relevant and irrelevant information is an important aspect of case analysis, as it will inform the focus of your answers.
- Describe in some detail the actions that would address or correct the situation.
- Consider how you would support your solution with examples from experience or current real-life examples or cases from textbooks.
- Complete this initial analysis and then read the discussion questions. Typically, you will already have the answers to the questions but with a broader consideration. At this point, you can add the details and/or analytical tools required to solve the case.
Case Study Questions:
- Compare and contrast the appliance strategies used by other multinational appliance companies such as LG, Samsung, Bosch-Siemens, Electrolux, Whirlpool, etc., and Haier.
- What is Haiers internationalization strategy?
- Does Haiers international strategy appear to be effective?
- Is it likely that Haiers success and management practices can be applied outside of China? Why or why not?
Your well-written paper should meet the following requirements:
- Be 3 pages in length with an introduction, which does not include the title page, abstract, or required reference page, which is never a part of the content minimum requirements.
- Use APA7 style guidelines.
- Support your submission with course material concepts, principles, and theories from the textbook and at least (three) scholarly, peer-reviewed journal articles.
