Moving companies across national boundaries can always be a risky situation. It is hard to control all of the aspects of your company if you are hundreds or thousands of miles away. That is why it always safe to pick somewhere that is economically stable, politically sound and just generally safe as regards to everyday business practices. So one may search the internet or even read a few magazines trying to find lists or any information on countries that have good reputations on foreign investments. You follow the list you found, and go to the best rated country. You get there and you soon realize that everyone else has foreign investments in that country, and everything is essentially being used. Customers are relatively comfortable in their consumption habits and places they shop, and there are hardly any untapped resources left in that country. Basically there is no more room for you because that home country’s market has become saturated with newcomers. There is hardly any “wiggle room” in these countries, or the development there is so ahead that it is just starting to plateau out rather than a continuous growth. I would like to be in a country where I can explore and extend my abilities as a company and maybe find a hidden skill within my company that I would not have found if I would have stayed in my host country. I also want to move to a country that has the continuous drive to get better, not somewhere that is satisfied with what they already have. Finding a country where there is virtually an endless supply of hidden assets, an economy that is large enough to support foreign investments and wages are low is the type of market where I can enter the market at full force. That is why I have chosen to introduce the privately owned retail chain Wegmans to South Africa. Moving Wegmans to South Africa and acquiring the Woolworths Limited retail chain company would be a good opportunity to encourage the growth of South Africa economically, socially and environmentally. Wegmans has made a name for itself in the United States with continuously ranking amongst the top privately owned grocery corporations in America. Woolworths Limited is one of the largest retail stores in Australia and in South Africa. It is a large company that owns many retail stores. The type of retail stores that Woolworths manages are; grocery, clothing, furniture, bedding, electronic and jewelry stores. Woolworths Limited even has a joint venture with Lowes Home Improvement. With the Wegmans philosophy of bringing quality food to the more upscale class while Woolworth focuses more on lowering costs could be a good acquisition for Wegmans in order to reach people of all social classes. The strengthening of telecommunications and infrastructures are providing an attractive site for foreign investors. The SEACOM project is underway with plans of establishing underwater cables to bring fast broadband internet to the eastern seaboard of Africa. The fact that the economy is still rapidly growing poses a great opportunity for this Wegmans and Woolworth business venture. It can be compared to the $16.5 billion rand acquisition ($2.4 billion dollars) Wal-Mart recently made of Massmart, a South African management corporation. Massmart has retail stores in warehousing, grocery, home improvement and general merchandise. Woolworths is like Wal-Mart in a sense that their operating margins are high meaning that they are producing services to customers at lower prices than the competition but still making profits.
