Study Notes
CAGE Distance Framework Overview
- CAGE Analysis aids businesses in developing international strategies by balancing global market approaches.
- Focuses on the concept of "psychic distance," which reflects the perceived cultural and business differences between home and foreign markets.
Key Points on Trade and Distance
- Trade relations between countries hinge on their economic sizes and are inversely affected by physical distance.
- Factors influencing trade include:
- Tariffs and non-tariff barriers.
- International organizations and quotas.
- Colonial ties and regional trading bloc memberships.
- Shared currency and treaties.
Administrative Correlations
- Historical colonizer-colony relationships can increase trade significantly, even after a long period.
- Preferential trading arrangements and common currencies, like those seen in the European Union, also promote trade.
- Poor diplomatic relations can enhance administrative distance, increasing trade barriers.
Economic Distance Insights
- Economic distance impacts cross-border activity through distinctions in economic size, consumer income, and resource costs/types.
- Wealthier nations tend to engage more in international trade relative to their economic size, while high per-capita income correlates with elevated labor costs.
Industry-Level CAGE Framework Insights
- Economic distance on the supply end is influenced by labor intensity and capital costs.
- Large discrepancies in consumer willingness to pay can drive international market exploration.
- Industries requiring significant variety and responsiveness face higher complexity and lower cross-border exchanges.
Strategic Applications of CAGE Framework
- Assists international business strategists in analyzing market size, risks, and barriers.
- Helps in determining the sequence for entering international markets and identifying transportable products.
- Supports product development specific to global needs and clarifies key market differences.
- Enhances understanding of foreignness liability and comparisons among competing markets.
