1. INTRODUCTION Maximum length: one paragraph (as concise as possible) Approach:
Introduce your SME name, product/service, industry, its home country (South Africa), and the
host country in which your SME plans to operate. Finally, indicate to the reader what will follow
in the sections, such as what you will evaluate, so that they know what to expect. [3 marks]
My proposed Small to Medium Enterprise (SME) is "Green Sprout Foods", which offers
sustainably sourced, plant-based ready meals. We operate within the Food and Beverage
industry and are headquartered in South Africa. Green Sprout Foods plans to expand its
operations into the United Kingdom (UK). The following sections will evaluate the suitability
of the UK as a host country, assess the market opportunities and challenges, analyze the
competitive landscape, examine the legal and regulatory requirements, and propose a strategic
market entry mode for Green Sprout Foods.
2. ENTRY MODE Maximum length: one A4 page Source: Chapters 11, 12 & 14 of Peng and
Meyer (2019) and (2023) Your SME has chosen to expand its operations into your chosen
African market through a Joint Venture with a local partner. By linking theory to your discussion,
critically evaluate the potential advantages and disadvantages of entering the host country
through a Joint Venture. Based on your findings, argue whether this strategic entry mode is
appropriate or inappropriate for your SME (12). Your justification must include at least two
institutional factors, such as regulatory frameworks, political stability, legal systems, or cultural
norms specific to the host country that could influence the success or failure of the Joint Venture
(8). [20] 3. SKILLS GAPS Maximum length: one A4 page Source: Chapters 13, 14, 15 & 16 of
Peng and Meyer (2019) and (2023) Your SME is seeking to appoint a departmental manager to
oversee operations in the Host country. Given the potential scarcity of specialized skills within
the host country, critically evaluate how your SME will address local talent limitations (5)
