Lynn Bernerd, Inc.

The company managers have been contemplating the best way to enter the foreign market.

The managers recognized, however, that before the company decided on its foreign strategy it needed to think through all the steps required to enter an international market. As such, the managers believed they needed to consult with some type of agency to help their firm compete more effectively in the global marketplace.

After all the research was completed, the senior managers realized that they wanted to export their product.
