| Abstract | Svaka tvrtka svojim poslovanjem želi doći do određenog cilja. U kratkom je roku to svakako profit, no dugoročni ciljevi su kompleksniji. Brojnim tvrtkama cilj je proširiti svoje poslovanje i uspjeti na novim, drugačijim i izazovnijim tržištima. U postizanju tog cilja brojne tvrtke donose odluku o novom koraku u svojem poslovanju – proširenju na nova, inozemna tržišta. U postizanju tog cilja, tvrtke se suočavaju s brojnim pitanjima, izazovima i problemima. Svakako, jedno od pitanja je i kojom marketinškom strategijom se razviti. Marketinških strategija eksternog rasta poduzeća ima mnogo, no na koji način svaka tvrtka odluči kojom se strategijom želi razviti? Svakako, važno je da svaka tvrtka provede detaljno istraživanje tržišta na koje se želi razviti, kako bi uvidjela mogućnosti, ali i poteškoće prilikom svojeg razvoja.
U ovom se radu govori o marketinškim strategijama eksternog rasta poduzeća s posebnim fokusom na akviziciju i franšizu kao jednim od njih. Najprije se opisuje globalni marketing, koji je izrazito važan za eksterni rast poduzeća te se detaljno opisuje istraživanje tržišta koje je u fazi planiranja eksternog rasta poduzeća izrazito važno. Istraživanjem tržišta dolazi se do spoznaje o karakteristikama tržišta, preprekama i ograničenjima razvoja, mogućnostima i slično. Zatim se detaljnije nabrajaju i opisuju strategije izlaska na strana tržišta, opisuje se na koji se način donosi odluka o izlasku te na koji se način prilagođava proizvod i/ili usluga inozemnom tržištu. Kao jedne od strategija u radu se detaljnije opisuju akvizicija i franšiza te se komparativno analiziraju. U teorijskom dijelu rada cilj je odgovoriti na četiri istraživačka pitanja.
Nakon teorijskog dijela rada slijedi primarno istraživanje provedeno na 207 ispitanika u kojem se želi ispitati poznavanje pojmova akvizicije i franšize. Cilj je istražiti u kojoj su mjeri ispitanici upoznati s navedenim strategijama i koliko poznaju da su pojedini proizvodi i/ili usluge koje koriste zapravo rezultat razvoja pomoću tih strategija. Provedeno je deskriptivno istraživanje metodom ispitivanja korištenjem „online“ anketnog upitnika (kao instrumenta istraživanja). Primarnim istraživanjem želi se odgovoriti na tri istraživačka pitanja. Nakon provedenog istraživanja može se zaključiti kako su ispitanici uveliko upoznati s marketinškim strategijama. Također, važno im je kojim oblikom će se tvrtka razviti na tržištu na kojem oni kupuju. |
