Licensing and Joint Ventures

"...advantage of licensing or joint venture is that you earn some money rather than none..."

Market research may reveal that it is impossible to export your product to a foreign country because of import barriers, low-priced foreign competition, transportation costs, high production costs, etc.

The possibility of licensing a local firm to manufacture and market your product within that market, paying you a royalty for each unit locally manufactured.

  • 2. You may lose control of your technical "know-how".

Socialist Countries

There are currently 14 socialist countries in the world, below are are some example:

  • People's Republic of China

  • Republic of Cuba

  • Lao People's Democratic Republic

  • Socialist Republic of Vietnam

  • Democratic Republic of Afghanistan

The usual procedure for selling to socialist countries is to identify the appropriate import and export Corporation that handles your type of product and then write to it, enclosing all possible information about your company and its products.

If they are interested, the import and export Corporation will contact you with further queries.

After several meetings and some hard bargaining, you may end up with an export order. The process may be lengthy as all imports must usually be approved centrally and conform with annual Trade Plan.

It must be emphasized that Socialist Country, although centrally planned, vary considerably in the amount of delegated authority to local trade bodies. So methods and results can also vary considerably.
