摘要

Abstract of the paper

     In this highly competitive environment, the multi-product firms are common in many industries. The purpose of this paper is to consider the entry decisions: no entry, FDI and M&A of a multi-product firm when it attempts to enter the new market.

     This paper finds some interesting results. First, the multi-product firm can reduce the input price by strategically entering the new market. Second, given the marginal cost of new product is higher than the original one, the higher the degree of competition in the new market, the higher the profit of multi-product firm. In addition, if the market size of the new product is sufficiently high, then entering the new market may not be profitable for the multi-product firm. Lastly, if the new market is less competitive, then the multi-product firm prefers to adopt FDI to enter the new market. On the contrary, the optimal entry mode is M&A.
