Joint venture

То go international a large firm can set up a joint venture with a company in another country. In this case two companies pool their resources to design, manufacture and sell the product. Both firms profit by the results of this arrangement. They also share responsibility. One of the firms provides the necessary funds and know-how for producing goods. In return it gets a foothold in the foreign market. The other firm obtains financial and technical assistance.

Subsidiaries and branches

A company can set up a branch in a foreign country to handle the sales of the product aboard. A parent company specifies the tasks and goals of a branch....hose usually consists of marketing and selling the product.

If the managers of the parent company decide to arrange the company's own production facilities (plants, factories, etc.) overseas, they set up a subsidiary. A subsidiary works under the laws of the foreign country and to the profit of its parent company. Some subsidiaries are to great extent independent of their parent companies because the home management believes that the on-site managers are in the best position to make decisions.

Пояснения к тексту:

Subsidiary – дочерняя компания    

Underthelaw– в соответствии с законом

Facilities – средства производства
