Methodology

On the basis of the following approximate work plan, the activities to prepare the project proposal will be carried out. However, the exact timeframe depends on the specific request chosen and possible adjustments according to customer requirements. Updates of the schedule will be provided upon request by the customer in case of changes.
Constant communication between the client and the service provider by e-mail and personal meetings ensure that the offer is adapted to the client’s organizational development objectives. In addition, the integral feedback and approval loops implemented in the above work plan ensure a step-by-step progress control by the customer.

A dual control principle is applied in the definition of content, financial calculation and completion of the respective administrative departments, whereby checklists and required annexes to the respective project application form are run through to ensure maximum quality standards.

Senior Consultants will be involved in the preparation of the technical sections as well as the budget of the application and will bring several years of experience in applying for EU funding as well as in the management of large international projects.

A key step in developing a global expansion strategy is the selection of potential target markets. Businesses adopt different approaches to select target markets. The consultancy covers a four-step process that the company can use to begin the process of screening potential markets. The choice of entry mode will be influenced by several decision criteria. There are two types of decision criteria that can be roughly distinguished: internal criteria (company-specific) and external criteria (environment-specific).

There are three main groups of ways of entering foreign markets: export, contract and investment, which differ in terms of the degree of control, risk and flexibility. Decisions to enter the international market also cover the question of the time of entry: when should a company enter a foreign market? Exiting the market is a decision that must be made carefully. Just as there are barriers to entry, there are barriers to exit that can delay or make it difficult to decide to exit.
