Description
Colfax Corporation was a young, privately held collection of pump-manufacturing companies from the United States and Europe.

Colfax Corporation was a young, privately held collection of pump-manufacturing companies from the United States and Europe. Intending to go public, it was eager to find a story for investors of how it could grow at rates faster than its subsidiaries had historically grown in their home regions and core-customer industrial markets. This case describes a singular new-growth opportunity: selling Colfax solutions into state-owned petroleum enterprises in the Middle East at a time when these producers were straining to add capacity. Designing the optimal marketing system required Colfax to weigh a complex of issues, including global resource allocation and deployment, a process for customer-relationship building, and estimates for revenue streams versus investment outlays. The design process was, in short, far more than “sticking sales rep pins in the map.” Case readers are asked to think along with the Colfax global management team in deciding, “How much can we afford to risk our current income model in order to build new capacity in a new region in a new way?”

In 1978, Shenzhen was declared a special economic zone by the Chinese government, open to both native and foreign investors. Its development has been spectacular, with its population rising from 30,000 to 5 million inhabitants. When Hong Kong was returned to China in 1997, the frontier between the former British territory and Shenzhen theoretically disappeared. However, in actuality the border is still closed and integration is slow to occur. For Hong Kong, the risk of a massive illegal Chinese emigration is viewed as a threat to its economic stability. Also, since Hong Kong remained a free port with no import taxes, the Chinese are controlling the border to prevent those from Shenzhen using it as a way to escape taxes. The low cost of labor and real estate in Shenzhen have persuaded nearly 80% of Hong Kong manufacturers to relocate their factories there. Many successful "Hong Kongers" now want to live on the other side as well, in the beautiful new homes being built for them. High School Adult

The pace of change across Asia’s cities is staggering, and with that growth comes new challenges, especially when it comes to laying the groundwork for a more livable future. From the rebirth of an aging overpass in Seoul, to an experimental effort to design a virtual digital twin of the entire city-state of Singapore, to Hong Kong’s quest to position itself as a new creative and cultural hub, innovation in Asia can take on a variety of forms. Yet, the urban planners, architects, and entrepreneurs behind these projects share a common vision: to evolve the modern Asian metropolis beyond skyscrapers and showcases, and to place renewed focus on the hundreds of millions of people who call these cities home.

By John J. Lawrence and Michael McCollough. This case describes the situation faced by the Lewis Group, a family owned New Zealand business, upon notification that their international franchise agreement with Esprit Holdings would not be renewed. Esprit Holdings was taking back the rights to the Esprit franchise in order to consolidate control of its brand and act in a more integrated manner worldwide. The options open to the Lewis group included finding another international franchise, creating a new brand to operate under, or going out of business. The evolution of Esprit Holdings’ international market entry strategies is presented so that students can understand international franchising issues from both the franchisor’s and franchisee’s perspectives. The case is intended for use in international marketing or international business courses and was developed to teach international market entry strategy with a particular emphasis on international franchising. Additional issues covered by the case included international brand management, entrepreneurship, and corporate ethics.
