Some executives suggested that they should use several teams to examine a diverse set of markets that Tyson may be interested in entering. Their initial list includes Russia, India, Argentina, Mexico, Vietnam, South Korea, Brazil, Indonesia, and Turkey. Tysons executives ask each team to examine one of these potential markets and compare it with China. They want each team to examine and analyze various aspects of their potential market relative to China. They are specifically interested in teams examining strategies to enter these countries either by acquiring or joint venturing with some other existing local protein processing facilities, or by investing in a new wholly-owned Greenfield operation.
