ENTRY MODE FOR HUAWEI

INTRODUCTION:

Following two decades' improvement, numerous Chinese technology ventures stride their
initial phase in internationalization. Among them, the Huawei Technologies P/L is a typical
delegate. Huawei is a private hi-technology organization. It is a leading telecommunication
equipment manufacturer in China. In 2005, the contract sales of Huawei are USD 8.2 billion,
of which, about 58% originates from foreign markets. To be sure, Huawei has made
incredible progress in internationalization in the previous barely any years.

As indicated by the Uppsala Internationalization Model, there are four unique modes of
entering a worldwide market: No regular export activities, Export via independent
representatives, Establishment of overseas sales subsidiary, Overseas
production/manufacturing units.

These four modes follow an arrangement from low to higher degrees of internationalization.
Foreign market entry strategies normally accord with the successive phases of Exporting,
Competitive partnerships, Acquisition/foreign direct investment. Be that as it may, in the
wake of investigating the foreign market entry strategies of Huawei, we can discover these
stages are not followed carefully. Driscoll recognized three modes to enter a foreign market:
Export entry modes, Contractual entry modes, Investments modes. To accomplish the goal
of internationalization, an organization should consider three factors and then pick suitable
entry modes. These three factors are firm factors, environmental factors and moderators.
The instance of Huawei gave the confirmations that the ideal entry mode was really chosen
by have advertise environment condition and firm factors, while the industry attributes
assume a significant job in foreign market entry mode decision.

LITERATURE REVIEW
ENTRY MODES:

In this, we use the Uppsala model and Driscoll’s foreign market entry modes choice
framework as research framework for our case study. Based on the assumption that the
internationalization is the consequence of a series of incremental decisions and the most
important obstacles to internationalization are lack of knowledge and recourse, Johanson &
Wiedersheim-Paul introduce the internationalization model: the Uppsala model.

Internationalization. The last model expect that the market information and Market
commitment influence both commitment decision and the current activities, which thus
impact market information and market commitment. The dynamic model showed that the
firm would initially focus on the worldwide market with comparative market environment.
The two models underscore that internationalization is a procedure and follows an 'arrange'
approach. Despite the fact that these two internationalization theories have been upheld by
much empirical and theoretical research, numerous researchers stand on the contrary side.

Turnbull asserted that the 'arrange' internationalization model can't clarify the
internationalization in numerous organizations; Andersen scrutinized that the errors
between the theoretical and operational level exist in these two models based on the
principle of theory evaluation; Bell argued that the relevance of «stage» theories must be
questioned, especially in relation to the internationalization of high technology and service
firms. Gureea provided the evidence to question the ‘stage’ theory through the cases of UK
Biopharmaceutical SMEs . Different from the above dynamic models which just mentioned
the factors of market knowledge and market commitment, Driscoll introduced a
comprehensive foreign market entry decision framework, which identifies export,
contractual and investment as the main foreign market entry modes.

THE PROFILE OF HUAWEI AND ITS GROWTH IN INTERNATIONAL MARKET


Huawei Technologies P/L was established in 1988. It is a high technology private
organization that gives customized arrange answers for telecom carriers around the globe,
having some expertise in the research and technology development. It contributes in any
event 10% of yearly deal volume in new product research and development. Huawei's
contracted sales in 2005 came to USD 8.2 billion, of which 58% originated from international
markets. Abroad sales have been multiplying every year for as far back as five successive
years. Toward the finish of 2006, Huawei has more than 61,000 employees, of whom 48%
are committed to R&D. Huawei has given products and service to more than 300 telecom
carriers around the globe.

The initial step of internationalization in Huawei is giving customized design of 'number


portability service' for Hutchison Telecoms, Hong Kong in 1996. Huawei went through just 3
months on encouraging Hutchison to understand the service rather than quotation of at any
rate a half year set by European telecommunication makers. Besides, the cost is just 50% of
that from different contenders After that, Huawei settled on a choice to enter international
market. Russia and Southern America advertise are first chosen. Huawei entered Russian
market in 1996. It set up a joint venture of Beto-Huawei with Russian Beto Konzern and
Russia Telecom to create Russian market in 1997. Be that as it may, Huawei didn't get any
request inside four years. In the wake of getting the principal request in Russia in 2000, the
matter of Huawei in Russian market grows up rapidly. In 2003, Huawei got the deal volume
of more than USD 0.3 billion in Russian and the encompassing markets. In the market of
broadband products, Huawei involved over half of the market. Up till now, Huawei has
become the Chinese organization with the greatest investment in Russia.

THE FOREIGN ENTRY MODES USED BY HUAWEI

JOINT VENTURE IN RUSSIAN MARKET:


In 1996, as a leap forward, Huawei started its international business at Russia. It set up a
joint venture of Beto-Huawei with Russian Beto Konzern and Russia Telecom to create
Russian market in 1997. As another player in international market, Huawei's development in
Russian market is extremely hard at the first stage. Huawei went through four years on
pausing and examining before they got the first request. At the underlying stage of
internationalization, Huawei's market selection strategy is focusing on the markets that
have weak telecommunication infrastructure yet have extraordinary creating probability. In
view of the highlights of telecommunication products, the host market's social and social
conditions were considered. First, as a result of the network effect (Katz and Shapiro 1994)
and telecommunication products identified with information security, Huawei first picked
those host markets which have great connection with home nation. At that point, in light of
its own favorable circumstances of mechanical research and development (R&D), Huawei
picked the joint venture as the first remote market modes.

EXPORT ENTRY MODE IN SOUTH AMERICA, ASIA AND AFRICA:

In the first stage of Huawei's internationalization, South America is likewise chosen as a


target market. Be that as it may, Huawei utilizes export method technique as the entry
mode. The impact factors are the issues of land separation and nearby economic situations.
From 2000 onward, Huawei began to enter Asia, Mid-east and North Africa showcase, right
now, Huawei additionally use trade technique to section this market. Huawei sent out a
considerable lot of sales and service engineers from home nation to arrangement branches
and service focuses in these nations. The selection depends on the trait of entry mode: High
adaptability, low asset commitment and low risk.

Contractual Entry Modes in North America, West Europe and Other Countries:

After 2001, Huawei's products begin to be sold in West Europe and North America. In these
developed nations, Huawei applied an assortment of contractual modes to enter these
market. These techniques incorporate franchising, co-research, co-creation (OEM) and Co-
sales (help each other to deal products in each possess markets). For instance, in European
market, Huawei co-work with Marconi in product development and advertising. Marconi
causes Huawei to sell products in Europe utilizing their channels. At same time, Huawei
helps selling Marconi's products in China and Asia markets.

Right on time to 2002, Huawei has collaborated with Motorola in Mobile network
infrastructure area utilizing the OEM technique. To build up the market of data
communication in North American and other international markets, Huawei set up joint
venture: Huawei-3Com with 3com, the fundamental player in data communication market.
Right now, Huawei exploits R&D capacity and the 3Com's international market resource.
