The ever exploding and increasing demand for products in more and more parts of the Global industry and hence, more and more languages has turned the once used to be a long distance run into a 50 meter sprint. This has been coupled with the increasing need for speed of products and commodities to reach the Global market as well as the local markets from just the day one on the platform.
When a survey was conducted all across the Global platform over people responsible for Global product localization, it was revealed that how the process of localization and urbanization is being transformed by the three most powerful forces. Now, these three powerful forces also include what an organization must be set to do so as to accomplish the task of Global scalability for their Global product development processes, which in turn also includes the localization.
It is very important that to tweak you local localization models and standards would not preferably provide one the required flexibility that one requires to stay ahead in the race of local, regional as well as the Global competitors. The formers are on the other hand focused on becoming the Global brands. It focuses on primarily how one can address via their organizations over the randomly and continually increasing challenges of the misaligned business goals, tackle with resource shortages, with a vast number of enabling technologies and their respective services. It is also required to build the Global collaborative models of their respective businesses and ecosystems as well so that the needs to achieve a Global worldwide scalability so that their localization processes could be achieved.
For any localization newbie it is essential to get a head start on how localize right from the group of 150 Global who are already doing it. Later in the second phase, they should learn as on how to integrate the requirements for an emerging market into their product plans. Lastly of all, it is also to kept in mind to discover how to build the localization ecosystem as well as the Global ecosystem from the very first day as an integral routine of one’s business plans.
As for the veteran localizers it would be beneficial for them to learn to extend their current potential into external Global partnerships and their informal internal networking into a fully fledged localization ecosystem that would integrate the customers’ right from the start. A deep and thorough understanding of transforming the product development process, also including the localization processes to scale worldwide on a Global basis.
They should lever down the specific ways for the up gradation of the business models preferably with their partners. This would ensure that all the leverage that one has to offer is fully grabbed. Along with the same time, the trick is to contemplate them with a thought that they are compensated fairly enough. A rough comparison on how the competitors are leveraging the agile to upgrade and integrate the localized and their businesses is also of prior importance.
Certain industries have gained more attention than the rest with the topper industry being the software industry. It was closely followed by healthcare that lagged behind by just a few scores. Others worthy to be included in the list of priorities rank wise were biotech, business products and services, consumer products and services, hardware, media and entertainment. It is always good at the Global platform if one has an angel investor from the industry expertise to closely follow and advice them.
As a start up or a beginner, it is very important to demonstrate one clear understands over the needs of the consumers for their particular services and the products. It is also to be mentioned that why it is unique and what are the factors that gives them a competitive edge over the other. The more scalable the business is, the more interest one will attract from the angel investors. On an ideal note, one should carefully craft their business plans to support their scalability and their growth on a regular growth over a city wide, country wide or on the Global basis. The proposal to be presented to the angel investors should be a cookie cutter template model which can be easily rolled out over a few dices.
One can even go for raising their investment capitals if one is not satisfied with the potential angel investors can bring to them. They may seek an investment capital from a bank or there many government funding for the starters. The universal law of scalability computes the scaling that provides the quantification. Scalability also affects the impact on the Global business.
What one gets for one’s top businesses from a strategic buyer are only dollars. This is a point one should never miss out on. They will buy with an intention to leverage their position to massively transformation of their businesses. If there may exist a synergic relationship between the buyer and the seller, a strategic buyer is the one who would pay far more than any individual or other competitor would ever would.
To realize the synergies from the potential gains, an insight to the well established and documented processes for the strategic buyers is required as they can scale the Global business to a much higher and larger operation. This is a very critical note if one wishes to reach to the top dollar. Their strategy might include usage of the capital and its expatriation over the Global expansion of the business. They may also use the distribution network to gain name and fame. These are just few of the many steps they would seek to take a fixed cost and turn it out into the variable cost.
One can go to contract out the easily replicated parts of one’s businesses that may include creation of new components integrating the present scale to the Global level. It is also very important to simplify the product and services lines. The contribution of each product makes along with the service line is to be weighed against the one added in to the complexity that it brings along.
