The format requested for these assignments is based on elaborating and including two basic parts in the essay: 1) in a bullet presentation style (one phrase each bullet), list a summary of the key issues, situations, problems, opportunities and threats you may identify as relevant; 2) answer all the questions listed in each case in two or three sound paragraphs. Use the APA style for these assignments.
Case SpinCent: The Decision To Export
More than 300,000 U.S. companies export goods. Some 7,000 of these, such as Caterpillar, Boeing, General Electric, and Intel, generate about 65 percent of total exports.2 Their smallest shipments are typically larger than the largest shipments of smaller companies. Still, some 297,000 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)— specifically, companies with fewer than 500 workers—account for nearly 98 percent of all U.S. exporters.3 One such SME is SpinCent of Pennsylvania.
SpinCent manufactures laboratory and industrial centrifuges.
Companies in chemical, pharmaceutical, food, environmental, and
mining industries use them to spin a substance into high-speed rotation
around a fixed axis, thereby moving heavy elements to the bottom,
lighter objects toward the top, and liquid in between. SpinCent’s
56 employees—43 workers, 8 product and process engineers, and
5 managers—operate out of its 90,000-square-foot facility in suburban
Philadelphia. SpinCent began operations in 2010 with one goal
in mind: create high-performance centrifuges that inspire absolute
confidence. Its patented technology anchors a full line of automatic
and manual centrifuges recognized for quality and value. To this day,
management believes it builds “centrifuges for which there simply
are no equals.”
To Export Or Not To Export: That Is The Question
From inception, SpinCent approached export passively. Its international
sales often resulted from other U.S. firms’ orders that were
set for export, occasional sale leads received at trade shows, or an
unsolicited order from a foreign buyer. Export sales generated high
gross margins; occasionally, unexpected complications, such as
customs or credit problems, increased administrative costs. Still,
SpinCent’s net margins on export sales ran about 15 percent higher
than domestic sales.
Paul Knepper, CEO and founder, explained that recurring problems
had dampened his interest in exporting. First, he and his colleagues
were skeptical about the likelihood of international success. Previous
efforts, they felt, had spent more time on unfocused searching or solving
situations than on purposefully growing export activity. Moreover,
serving customers in the domestic market had kept them quite busy.
As a result, developing exports stretched their already thin management
structure. Going international, they feared, would pose tough challenges,
especially heading into direct competition with seasoned exporters from
Germany and Japan.
Still, as time passed, market pressures raised concerns about
SpinCent’s ongoing productivity and profitability. The struggling U.S.
manufacturing sector had slowed SpinCent’s growth and pushed
some of its customers to import cheaper, lower-end centrifuges from foreign suppliers. Increasing price competition was inevitable.
Knepper knew the day of reckoning was at hand: SpinCent must
(1) focus on the domestic market and exploit every possible efficiency
to sustain productivity or (2) expand aggressively into export, looking
to fast-growing overseas markets. Ultimately, Knepper conceded,
market trends forced his hand. The slow-moving deindustrialization
of the United States, forecast to continue for years, would steadily
reduce domestic demand. Meanwhile, quickly industrializing emerging
economies, particularly in Asia, signaled rich opportunities.
Hence, Knepper accepted, somewhat grudgingly, that SpinCent must
export to promising markets.
Asia Calls
Big market trends signaled big opportunities in Asia. “Industries
were coming online everywhere and seemingly overnight,” observed
Knepper. Pro-market reform, improving economic freedom, and accelerating
economic development spurred industrialization throughout
Asia. Moreover, the types of goods moving through Asia’s
seaports signaled budding industries that used SpinCent’s sorts of
centrifuges. And, unlike the United States, which was in the mature
part of the product life cycle, emerging economies looked set to grow
for years.
Getting Started
New to the idea of the Asian market, SpinCent sought help on how
best to access the large, diverse region. Knepper feared wasting
resources flying solo. Moreover, he was not looking to generate a
single-shot export burst, but aimed to build relationships that would
support long-term growth. Hence, the primary challenge was finding
competent and trustworthy distributors who would develop, make,
and service local sales. “We were looking for a long-term partner
and not a quick export sale,” said Knepper. “The right partner for
SpinCent needed to be as confident and competent about the product
as we are, and able to promote, educate, and serve consumers in
the respective territories.” The key, he added, was partnering with
respected firms. On the flip side, SpinCent had to convince potential
agents that partnering with it made long-term sense.
Knepper began by seeking information on potential distributors,
confirming their reputation and resources. A few of the company’s
earlier export transactions, for instance, had run into problems with
agents who struggled financially. As Knepper warned, “Getting paid
is a huge part of running a business, and unless a company has
the right payment policies in place with the right partners, it will get
scammed.”
Mindful of these issues, Knepper attended a trade seminar sponsored
by the U.S. Commercial Service’s Export Assistance Center of Philadelphia. On the agenda were market analysis and trade reports
on the emerging economies of Asia. Taking his seat, he couldn’t help
but wonder about the opportunities. Sure, he conceded, they sounded
great. However, he had seen hype like this come back to bite, not
to mention the horror stories he’d heard of the problems and pitfalls
of exporting. Indeed, he reflected, a key reason for attending was
reconciling his sense of the opportunities and threats.
Getting Help
Since exports promote economic growth, government agencies offer
extensive assistance, such as trade seminars, market research,
training programs, and financial planning. Trade officials encourage
SMEs like SpinCent, seeing them as the primary beneficiaries of initiatives
to initiate and accelerate international trade activity. Given
that 60 percent or so of all SME exporters posted sales to only one
foreign market, many could boost performance by entering just one
or two others. Expanding SMEs’ market horizons through trade seminars,
official reasoned, bolstered their confidence to do so.
After a full morning of profiles and presentations, Knepper
believed Asian markets held far more opportunities than risk. He
had learned quite a bit about Asia, as well as some technicalities
of exporting. Still, his unfamiliarity of local business practicalities,
compounded by the lack of local sales representatives, bothered
him. Filling in these blanks, he concluded, called for some on-the-ground
research. So, before leaving, he spoke to Commercial Service
agents and arranged to join a 12-day trade mission that was
heading to Hong Kong, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Taiwan the
following month.
Goal Setting
Knepper’s trip had straightforward goals: assess market potential,
identify competitors, get a sense of reasonable price points, and recruit
local sales representatives and distributors. Although he had
never visited Asia, he believed he had prepared well. His time with
the trade representatives in Philadelphia gave him a good sense of
the general characteristics and industry conditions in Asian markets.
Also, in the past, SpinCent had received inquiries from Asian distributors
ordering centrifuges; some had inquired about representing
the company locally. Depending on how busy it was with domestic
customers, SpinCent tried to respond yet nothing substantial had
ever come of it. Still, these contacts had been saved, thereby giving
Knepper a start on potential distributors and likely customers.
Knepper also tapped the Commercial Services’ Gold Key program
to prescreen potential distributors. This program helps SMEs
enlist Commercial Services agents overseas to scan local markets for
qualified agents, distributors, and representatives. Gold Key agents
will prescreen and prequalify potential partners, conduct background
checks, and customize local market research. Exporters report that
the Gold Key program ensures that when a firm adds a partner to its
network, it is a respected company in the target country. Thinking back to his days as a Boy Scout, Knepper believed that
he met the sacred command: “Be prepared.” With a briefcase full of
brochures, a laptop loaded with profiles of his product line, and the
sense of doing something potentially great, he headed to Asia. Over
the next two weeks, he interviewed potential agents, chatted with
likely customers, scouted competitors’ offerings, test called their
service support, spoke to freight forwarders and logistics companies,
and visited local government officials and customs agencies.
Asia Calls, Spincent Answers
On the flight home, tired but charged, Knepper realized that his misgivings
about exporting had been unfounded. There were risks, but
the opportunities outweighed them. Exporting was no longer an option
for SpinCent—it was an imperative. Besides a new sense of
commitment, Knepper had a bit more confidence, given the newly
signed distributors in the Philippines and Taiwan as well as promising
sales leads there and in Hong Kong.
Back in Philadelphia, Knepper tested the Asian market a bit
more, advertising in trade publications as well as running banner
ads on trade sites in tandem with his newly signed distributors (he
handled the English ads, they, the Mandarin versions). In addition,
he began working with an agent from Commercial Services on an
export plan. This work helped SpinCent secure its largest overseas
partner to date, a distributor in Hong Kong who served the fast-growing
Chinese market. Commercial Services arranged meetings with
others, eventually signing a distributor in Singapore and generating
leads in Australia.
Allied with strong partners, SpinCent continues tapping the support
provided by government agencies. The more he has dealt with
them, the more Knepper appreciates a friend’s advice: “Let the government
do what it can for you. This is their niche and they’re the
best at it.” Now, with an export plan in hand, Knepper has begun
working with the Export-Import Bank to secure financing options for
overseas distributors and customers.4 And, with a gleam in his eye,
he’s set to attend a U.S. Commercial Service’s profile of the emerging
markets of sub-Saharan Africa.
Going Forward
Steadily, as SpinCent gains experience in Taiwan, the Philippines,
Hong Kong, and Singapore, look onward and upward. Although exporting
creates challenges, it helps SpinCent boost productivity and
profitability. Indeed, overseas sales provided the firm with a growing
stream of business during the economic downturn in the United
States, while rivals who had not diversified via exports struggled.
More important, exporting taps a low-cost, high-return opportunity to
leverage SpinCent’s centrifuge technology.
This experience reflects Knepper, has straightforward lessons:
“If you are thinking about exporting internationally, do it. Get going,
do your homework, utilize low-cost resources, participate in trade missions, learn about business cultures, and build relationships.
Always verify your potential business partners. Gather as much
information as you can. Stress-test your assumptions; the wrong
guess costs you time and money. Above all, no matter the problems
that you’ll run into, stay committed. All of these seem tough,
but they only cost pennies on the dollar and the returns can be
substantial.”
