trends and to make projections about the future.
– Using historical industry trends to forecast future
developments.
– Asking knowledgeable managers to write
scenarios describing what they foresee for the
industry over the next two to three years.
– Using computers to simulate the industry
environment and to generate likely future
developments.

forces that determine industry competitiveness:

– potential new entrants to the industry
– the availability of substitute goods and services
– rivalry among the competitors.

Internal environmental assessment
• Internal environmental assessment helps to
pinpoint MNE strengths and weaknesses.
• There are two specific areas the MNE will
examine in this assessment:
– physical resources and personnel
competitiveness;
– the way in which value chain analysis can be used
to bring these resources together in the most
synergistic and profitable manner.
- 15. Slide 8.15

Physical resources
and personnel competencies
• The physical resources are the assets the MNE
will use to carry out its strategic plan.
• The degree of integration that exists within the
operating units of the MNE.
– Vertical integration: To obtain control over the
supply and to reduce costs.
– Virtual integration: A networking strategy based on
cooperation.
• Personnel competencies are the abilities and
talents of the people.

support activities are combined.
– Primary activities: inbound logistics, operations,
outbound logistics, marketing & sales and service.

agreement between two or more partners to own
and control an overseas business (setting up a new
business entity).

performance.
