• Cell 1 (Dodger)Market conditions:
Industries with high pressures for globalization.Competitive assets based on a superior. understanding
of local markets are not enough.Appropriate strategy: Dodger
Must cooperate with MNEs through JVs with MNEs, agreeing to buyouts by MNEs, and/or becoming MNE suppliers and service providers.
All major Chinese automakers: MNE JV partnersSkoda in the Czech Republic: Sell out to VolkswagenMany post-NAFTA Mexican manufacturers (since
1994): MNE suppliers and service providers

• Cell 2 (Contender)Market conditions
Local firms find hope even in industries with high pressures of globalization.
Must develop combinative capabilities in integrating core technology with locally adapted design and marketing.
Appropriate strategy: ContenderRapid learning and upgrading of capabilities to approach
those of the MNEs and then to thrust overseas.Chinese cell phone makers (TCL and Bird) vs.
Motorola and Nokia

Local Firms versus MNEs• Cell 3 (Defender)
Market conditions:Pressures to globalize are relatively low.Primary strengths lie in a deep understanding of
local markets.Appropriate strategy: Defender
Cede some markets to MNEs while building strongholds in other markets by leveraging local assets in market segments which MNEs are weak or unaware of – in essence, a gambit

• Cell 4 (Extender)Market conditions
Pressures for globalization are relatively low.Possess skills and assets that are transferable
overseas.Appropriate strategy: Extender
Leverage home-grown competencies abroad by expanding into similar markets – a thrust

• Competition versus Antidumping Two arguments against antidumping restrictions
