15、ns prior to entryThe United States market is a very mature market, is the worlds most difficult to enter the market. Many Asian companies are planted right in this market. Acer, Taiwan, spent $about 1000000000 in the past 10 years in the United States to sell its brand, but finally because of a seri

16、ouslossoftheUnitedStatestowithdrawfromthemarket.Due tothedifficultyofenteringtheU.S.market,ChinasDomesticCompanycurrently mainly through the way to enter the United States to take asingle production or OEM market. For example, Kelon, in Southeast Asiaand Hong Kong sales hit is its own brand, but sal

17、es in the United Statesand Europe are OEM way that it exports products to the United States inthe American companys brand sales. For example, WAL-MART is currentlyin the chain store sales Magic Chef brand is the design and manufactureof Kelon refrigerator. Currently in the U.S. market, Chinese produ

21、rnational high level of competition. Haier chose to focus on the development of the U.S. market, the main reasons are as follows:(1) Foreign home appliance enterprises to enter the Chinese market. After Chinas accession to the WTO, the foreign household electricalapplianceenterprises have landed in

22、China,rushingtoeatmeat, Chinesehouseholdelectricalapplianceenterprisesinconsideringhow todefend.How to keep the domestic market at the same time, began to consider morehow to move toward the world, to open up overseas markets.(2) Domestic market demand saturation of domestic home applianceenterprise

23、scompetition.Chinese household electricalappliance industryin the late 1990s, due to market saturation, competition is fierce,playing the price war, home appliance industry profits thin as a blade,resultinginhouseholdelectricalapplianceenterprisesmust lookfornewmarkets, achieve new breakthroughs.(3)
