Abstract
The strategy of a firm is the base of its business model; especially if it wants to operate in international markets. Numerous strategists and economists have already written some theories about the better way for strategies to go international. Bartlett and Ghoshal are two such authors. They worked together on four international strategies: a global strategy, an international strategy, a multi domestic strategy and a transnational strategy. These four strategies are functionally based on two criteria: the pressures for low cost reductions and the pressures for the local responsiveness. danone is one of the biggest companies in the world. This company is present in all continents thanks to its fresh dairy products, its beverages or its baby foods. This is a French company and it is a leader in this market. danone is a French company. its history began in 1966 with BSN Company which was a glass and packaging manufacturer.
