a. Specialised intermediaries were used in the form of bicycle vendors,
pushcarts and kiosks.
b. Indirect exports through domestic-based intermediaries were used to
reach consumers in West Africa.
c. Fan Milk directly imported milk powder from Denmark into Ghana and
Nigeria.
d. Erik directly exported milk from Denmark to Ghana and Nigeria.
Your answer is correct.
For exporting to have been correct, Fan Milk would have had to start up in Denmark to
export to Ghana – but it was not. While Erik is originally from Denmark, Fan Milk is
not. Fan Milk is headquartered in Accra, in Ghana, and has manufacturing and
distribution facilities in Nigeria. Erik, as the owner of Fan Milk, used his Danish
connections to directly import milk powder from Denmark INTO Ghana, where it was
reconstituted into milk products. As Fan Milk is a Ghanaian start up with a Danish
owner, it was its DOMESTIC marketing and supply chain operations that used local
distributors. These distributors were supplied with the branded equipment they
needed to sell in their towns and they purchased and resold Fan Milk’s products.
Similarly, it opened a subsidiary in Nigeria – it did not export to Nigeria (Peng & Meyer,
2019:310-312; 544-545) (see Lesson 1, LO1: Explain the different options for
organisations to start engaging in international business.).
The correct answer is:
Fan Milk directly imported milk powder from Denmark into Ghana and Nigeria.
