Answer:
Creating a joint venture.
Explanation:
A foreign direct investment (FDI) can be defined as an investment made by an individual or business entity (investor) into an investment market (industry) located in another country. The investor here, shares a different country of origin from the country where his investment is located. In a foreign direct investment (FDI), an investor must establish his business, factory and operations in a foreign country or acquire assets in a business that is being operated in a foreign country.
Additionally, foreign direct investment (FDI) are categorized into three (3) main types and these are;
1. Vertical FDI: it involves establishing a different business that is however similar to the main business owned by the investor.
2. Horizontal FDI: it involves establishing the same type of business in a foreign country as owned in the investor's country.
3. Conglomerate FDI: it involves establishing a business that is completely different in another (foreign) country.
A joint venture can be defined as a type of business partnership which typically involves making direct investment in a foreign country with a domestic partner. It is typically established or initiated by two or more people on mutual grounds to make profits and sharing costs.
In this scenario, an electronics manufacturer in Japan creates a strategic partnership with a
large retailer in the United States.
Thus, the type of global entry strategy which this example highlight is creating a joint venture.
