We have experience of previous work-integrated learning projects which have resulted in practical ideas for client companies. These include Combi Lift, an Irish fork lift truck and logistic machinery company hoping to expand their Australian business, Hanley Energy, an energy management consultancy requiring market entry ideas for markets in South Africa, Sweden and the United States and the creation of market development plans for New Zealand company Ecostore who were considering entry into the UK and Irish markets. RMIT students have also worked for Japanese pharmaceutical giant Takeda on a project to provide blood and blood plasma donation services in Indonesia.

Some examples of tasks include, but are not limited to:

• Helping partners to identify which international market(s) to enter with either an existing or new product or service.
• Outlining how to enter an international market (including identification of key risks and launch strategies)
• Providing tactical or operational recommendations for a defined market entry/expansion strategy (i.e. hiring/management strategies, cultural norms, and laws/regulations)
• Identifying potential international partners for international expansion, and providing a strategic overview
