Market Entry ModeStudent:Professor:Course title:Date:Market Entry ModeA multinational corporation plans to enter China, Singapore or India and launch its products within that market. Since the company plans to penetrate only one country, it is important to identify the best mode of market entry best upon a number of factors.

Modern China is the second the largest economy globally and the country has robust transport and telecommunications network that includes a large network of world class highways and railway, and its aviation sector is also well developed in many parts of the country.
