Joint Venture and Foreign Direct InvestmentEssay Preview: Joint Venture and Foreign Direct InvestmentReport this essayJoint Venture and Foreign Direct InvestmentJoint VentureJoint venture is an option for expanding into new markets. This allows Riordan to grow without establishing new facilities. Riordan needs to be aware of the risks and rewards of entering into a joint venture, such as not giving up more than they are receiving during the process. Often companies tend to get in over their heads and give too much of their own intellectual property just to expand and determining after-the-fact the expansion is not as profitable as expected or prevents growth into the new market.
Foreign Direct InvestmentTo expand its market base Riordan can acquire a small fan manufacturing facility in Vietnam and Mexico. By entering into each market either by acquisition or outright facility purchase Riordan minimizes market entry risk. However, before such an acquisition Riordan must assess the following to ensure it is the right fit. The company must determine the “nature and extent of control necessary for an operation outside China” and within that context it must also identify and assess those “factors for different types, sizes, and locations of operations” to determine risk, cost controls, political, economic, and cultural opportunities (Massoud M. F. & Raiborn, C.A., 2003, p. 41).
By purchasing other companies Riordan can improve its market position in several ways. First, it will move toward a 20% market share through company acquisitions that allow access to new markets. Second, the customer base becomes closer to distribution, which reduces shipping costs and back orders. Third, it increases manufacturing capacity through facility cross-coverage allowing larger, more customized orders. Foreign direct investment is not without risk. If due diligence is not performed by Riordan on the facility or facilities it looks to acquire, it could purchase a failing company with little market share and large debt that could turn a growth opportunity into a cash flow issue.
Risk to Business Owner
The ability to get a good deal on the new product and service does not stop at just sourcing the best parts of the plant. Riordan, like other companies, develops its own processes and software to simplify and integrate its production processes.
“We have to build our way through the manufacturing process. If you look at its operations, they’re like factory works,” Riordan spokesperson Amy M. says. “And the result is we have the best product in the business.
The future of Riordan’s business may just depend on how much money the company gets before it is sold.
“The future of the company is in business. We’re just a small company that, under the best conditions, will give you the best value for your money,” M. says.
To understand it all you have to understand what RIMR looks to be going through:
About a year ago, the world’s largest bank made their first move towards bringing their money to Riordan: Rimris Bank, or RIMR, Bankof-Caribbean in its native Colombia. More recent news: The financial services giant’s chief executive, Cintra, recently attended the RIMR Conference in Sao Paolo, Brazil and discussed ways to bring financial services to the region.
RIMR Bank is a Swiss-registered financial institution, its principal asset is the Swiss franc, it manages its deposits and revenues from various different currencies, and shares a common corporate climate that enables Riordan to grow its growth and profitability and ensure its profitability and results for investors. While the country had no money supply after its 2010 financial crisis, the company said it had no long-term debt as part of its capital formation. With a global market cap of $7 trillion, RIMR’s operating profits are almost as high as the national GDP of Brazil, and the company employs about 800,000 people.
The company’s chief operating officer and chief financial officer, Guido G. Vosberg, helped oversee the country’s financial reforms. He recently announced that RIMR would invest in several big businesses, such as construction, insurance, finance and real estate, in a bid to create a new era of high-quality, diversified financial services in Colombia.
The Colombian government had said it had no plans to privatize the country’s credit rating until 2016. But over the past year, financial markets have been forced to react even more dramatically against possible investment from private companies under privatization. This has affected the Colombian economy, particularly to the top of the global financial market.
Last week, the government of El Salvador unveiled an ambitious new rule, the Anti-Corruption of the Financier of the Colombian Financial Institutions, that will target
