Often the concepts of outsourcing and plain internationalisationare misunderstood. The first one requires the research of productivefactors at low cost, the second one is intended to recreate the companyin a foreign country while looking for outlet markets. It is possibleto achieve these aims in different ways: looking for suppliers anddistributors, cooperating with foreign third-party manufacturers orthrough deeper M&A operations.The competitive pressure applied to a greater extent by foreigncompanies is a kind of competition that originates also from differentfields because of the crossover of technologies and it implies agreater and greater projection of companies in the international contextsAccording to these positions, the entrepreneur can avail himself of different organizations and individuals:* Organizations that support the internationalisation (ICE, Simest, SACE...)* Entrepreneur networks (associations near to Confindustria...)* Advisory Company* Commercial information suppliers and international corporate ratingsTo the purpose of M&A operations, the last two items of the list above are surely more interestingMergers and acquisitions have the prerogative to speed theprocess of internationalisation because they take advantage of thetarget company's know-how.In order to be performed, they need capacity of corporate analysis,negotiation skills and last but not least the purchased company has tobe run with a firm handTherefore, we can point out the related risks:* operative risk (analysis of the micro-economic context of the target company)* country risk (correct evaluation of the criticalities due to the foreign nation)* risk due to the value of acquisitionHere there are some data about our Country: M&A operations adoptedby Italian companies drastically decreased in value during 2007-2008but on the contrary they increased in number. This fact clearly meansthat middle companies have been making more and more use of tools ofthis kind.I am going to close this analysis with some purchase advice: in a period of lack of cash-flow due to a drastic credit freeze, firms provided with a good cash-flow have considerable chances to purchase companies at extremely convenient costs.There are several companies that operate in this way supported by agood brand: they purchase firms even located in different fields, butwhere high growth rates are expected. Nowadays China and South-east Asia are in thecentre of attention of different organizations because of theircatchment area and productive capacity, while East-European contextsseem to be more risky.
