Exporting
Occurs when companies outside of Canada purchase goods and services
Like imports, may be B2B, or for resale Ex; RIM exports its products both to
other businesses and to end consumers Ex: Tele Tech (multi national company in
Colorado) has a call centre in London, ON

Value Added
Big problem w Canada’s imports and exports Value added is the amount of worth that is
added to a product after it is processed Difference b/w cost of raw materials and cost
of finished goods Companies that focus on extraction of primary
goods do not make as much as those that process them
![Page 12: International Business Practices. Canada Trades Company growth Entry into new markets Expand customer base Increase profits Access to inexpensive supplies](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022072012/56649e415503460f94b335d4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Licensing Agreements
Gives a company permission to use a product, service, brand name or patent in exchange for a fee or royalty (often only applicable in certain region)
Ex: Virgin Mobile (British company) has licensing agreement with Bell Canada and allows Bell to use brand in Canada
Virgin benefits: increased profits Bell benefits: access to extensive wireless
service options

Exclusive Distribution Rights
Another form of licensing agreement Allow a company to be the only distributor of a
product in a specific area or country Often uses as intial entry into foreign market Ex: when iphone initially entered Canada
rogers had only technology that supported the iphone and they had exclusive Canadian rights to sell it
![Page 14: International Business Practices. Canada Trades Company growth Entry into new markets Expand customer base Increase profits Access to inexpensive supplies](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022072012/56649e415503460f94b335d4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Franchising An agreement to use a company’s name, services,
products and marketing Franchise signs a contract, agrees to rules of parent
company, for a fee the franchisor provides service support in many areas
Ex: McDonalds, Wendy’s, Subway, Little Ceasars Canadian owned – Boston Pizza, Mr. Sub, Second Cup,
Tim Hortons, etc Advantages: less risk, access to expert
knowledge/research and financial aid Disadvantages: less profit, strict quidelines, loss of control
![Page 15: International Business Practices. Canada Trades Company growth Entry into new markets Expand customer base Increase profits Access to inexpensive supplies](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022072012/56649e415503460f94b335d4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Joint Ventures
Occurs when two businesses, one of which is usually located in foreign market, form a new company with shared ownership
25-40% of all foreign investment is in the form of joint ventures
Advantages: to be allowed in a country (China and Cuba) to gain access to market, products and customers, share financial, managerial, technology and cultural information etc
![Page 16: International Business Practices. Canada Trades Company growth Entry into new markets Expand customer base Increase profits Access to inexpensive supplies](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022072012/56649e415503460f94b335d4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Joint Ventures Cont’d Disadvantages: 50% fail Ex: in 2010 Toyota closed a plant for the first
time in history; its join venture with GM in California was negatively affected by slumping US auto sales
Joint ventures that succeed often take years to generate a profit – both needs and wants of two companies must be taken into consideration
Successful join venture: Sun Life Financial with Sun Life Everbright Group in China

Foreign Subsidiaries (Wholly owned Subsidiary) Most comprehensive type of IB When a parent company allows a branch of its company,
in another country, to be run as separate entity Parent company sets financial targets and as long as they
are being met it’s allowed to operate independently Ex: Toyota (better for Japan – distribution costs less and
Canada benefits from investment and employment) Canadian companies with subsidiaries (Bombardier, TD)
