Growing your business in Asia: from strategic choices to first operational results

The opportunities look significant. The choices between countries, distributors, partners, subsidiaries and local teams are where priorities and execution go wrong.

For whom

Leaders of French industrial or technology SMEs and mid-sized companies assessing growth in Asia, or wishing to review an existing presence.

The situation

Which markets, which entry model, which partners? The approach combines market and risk analysis with direct experience of how international organisations actually work, particularly in South-East Asia and China.

The approach
  1. 01

    Frame the ambition

    Objectives, capabilities, constraints and decision criteria, made explicit before comparing anything.

  2. 02

    Compare markets and scenarios

    Entry options assessed on available data, completed by local expertise where needed.

  3. 03

    Design the local set-up

    Partners, channels, team, governance and local presence: the logic that makes execution possible.

  4. 04

    Prioritise a 90/180-day plan

    Milestones, owners and the assumptions still to be tested.

  • International readiness diagnosis
  • Comparative matrix of countries and options
