Identify a company that has expanded or is planning to expand into international markets. The company you identify could be a small firm, a large multinational, or a new start-up going global from the beginning. Your analysis should consider the following:
A. Brief overview of the company. what it makes or sells, when it was founded, number of employees, annual revenues/profits, form of operations.
B. Analysis of its international/global strategy. What was the motive for expanding into international markets? You may choose to focus on strategy in a particular region or country or focus on how the strategy changed from country to country.
C. For the country you researched in project 1, analyze if this company should enter that market and if so, how...ie export, licensing, franchising, strategic alliance or FDI
ASSUME THE COMPANY IS NOT OPERATING IN YOUR COUNTRY NOW, EVEN IF THEY ARE.
D. Discuss challenges, obstacles and setbacks to their globalization efforts and what the firm did to overcome them. What were the company's key success factor? If not successful, why not? What might have been done differently? Your sources will include at least one academic journal, two quality Web sources and two other popular business sources (Forbes, Fortune, Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Harvard Business Review)

TodoTec, a US-based financial technologies (fintech) company is considering signing a three-year consulting contract with PagoLoco, a new company developing an epayments system in Jefalonia. This is a small South American country, historically controlled by a group of prominent families. However, the majority of the population is in the lower economic class.
The contract, payable in U.S. Dollars, calls for TodoTec to provide consulting services and license their technology for the development of the new national epayments system. The government of Jefalonia agreed to issue bonds denominated in US Dollars to build a new data management center to house the project. The local currency, the Piscocrudo, has been stable against the US Dollar for the last two years.
However, politics in Jefalonia are currently unsettled. The leading candidate for the July 2018 presidential election is Amlotonia Notrumpla from the Populist Party. If elected, she has promised to make “big changes” to government programs and economic policy. Prepare a memo for TodoTec management to discuss risk factors from a new populist government. What steps might TodoTec take to reduce potential risks?

On January 25, 2019, the end of the first monthly pay period of the year, Lynbrook’s payroll register showed that employees earned $22,000 of office salaries and $60,000 of sales salaries. Withholdings from the employees' salaries include FICA Social Security taxes at the rate of 6.2%, FICA Medicare taxes at the rate of 1.45%, $12,860 of federal income taxes, $1,340 of medical insurance deductions, and $840 of union dues. No employee earned more than $7,000 in January.
