Exporting / Importing
Exporting / Importing: Exporting/ Importing can be defined as the selling / buying of goods produced in one country into another. Exporting / Importing does not require any manufacturing by the company. However, the organization is required to make major investments in marketing of the product.

Some forms of exporting are:
  1. Indirect Exporting (Export management companies).
  2. Cooperative Exporting (Piggyback Exporting).
  3. Direct Exporting (Firms set up their own exporting departments).
The advantages of exporting/importing are:

  1. Companies can get an opportunity to study the market before investing in brick & mortar.
  2. Reduces the probable risk of operating abroad as manufacturing is done locally in case of exporting.
