Question 1
Expansion decision is a very critical design for any company. It either can lead to a great opportunity and a turn point for the company in a new market or can end the reputation in the very market. When it comes to expanding a US company in the European Union I will not consider doing the same. Acquiring a company in the current scenario in the European Union does not seem to be a right decison. Following are the reasons for the same.
After corona, European Union has faced a lot of economy and financial slow down. IT is facing financial crisis. Expanding in the European Union in these scenarios may not be very profitable for the company. It may also end the reputation and future plans for the company in the area and market.
Due to economic and financial slowdown, Government is facing a lot of pressure. Due to this pressure there have been a lot of changes in the policies. The government is also facing a lot of unpredictability. Expanding in the market which itself is facing so much of issues won’t be a good decision.
To make a company work one needs assets. Since the European market is not very well. The assets of the company do not seem to be in a position where they are secured.
There are not just restrictions with regards to the assets and cash and bank transactions. But the operations are also something that cannot be conducted in the normal manner for the companies. This is probable to create a lot of unfavorable conditions for the business to work.
There are medical necessities and debt s being faced by the company. Hence, it is not advisable to expand in the European Union.
