“Can You Afford To Navigate The Stormy Caribbean Seas Alone?

Here is a real life example of true story about a US Based company that tried to enter a new market:

"ABC Company, a US based company tried entering the Caribbean telecommunications market, during a period when the telecommunications market was undergoing rapid change. ABC saw an opportunity to offer unique services and identified its niche. The company however did not itself have an understanding of the local business environment; neither did the local consulting firm which they had selected to assist them in entering the market have an appreciation of the market forces in operation, or the changing structure or dynamics of the industry. By the time ABC had come to understand the industry; its competitor, a more established local company had significantly eroded its prospective segment of the market and its proposed marketing strategies were now useless. The company had no choice but to abandon its new market prematurely and terminate its planned operations."
