DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “Build a West Africa Presence” country profile has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
Overview
Slowing growth in large, established markets such as China and Europe is prompting MNCs to raise sales in emerging markets, including West Africa. However, MNCs find that most markets in the region are too small to justify a direct presence in each. To compensate, MNCs attempt to scale their sales by relying on a local team or distributor to sell into several other markets. But West Africa’s fractured set of markets and myriad operating challenges frustrate MNCs’ ability to effectively enter new markets and grow sales region-wide. MNCs need to deepen their understanding of the region’s complexity, which will allow them to assess which channel models will be most effective in each West African market. Then they will be able to assess how they can utilize these chosen channel models to scale their operations across the region.
