Document Type:Case Study
Subject Area:Marketing
Therefore how is this option different from other foreign market channels? Considering the full range of services mentioned above, it is evident that freight companies give services that major on shipping requirements that are relatively complex. Most manufacturers from small to medium sized cannot afford the resources required to handle the criteria above cost-efficiently. Therefore, using foreign freight forwarders is an option that many companies have to adopt especially if they have shipping requirements that are complex in one way or another. Secondly, foreign freight forwarders relative to other planning contract outing firms like 3PL companies as well as freight brokers provide a pretty particular set of services at a cost that is lower than a 3PL company that takes care of a broader range of services.
(Pope & Evelyn, 26-36) Furthermore, the services provided by foreign freight forwarders are not as restricted as those provided by a freight broker, especially in the department of insurance services and bill lading. Monochromic cultures focus on one issue at a time in a distinct timeline. (Betsill & Elisabeth, np) They are responsible for scheduling meetings, setting deadlines and agendas way before time. On the other hand, polychromic cultures prefer doing things in a simultaneous manner depending on the order of preference. The illustrations above therefore, paint a clear picture of how time is critical in international business negotiations. Work Cited Murr, Alfred. Betsill, Michele Merrill, and Elisabeth Corell, eds.
