Answer to Question 2

T
Companies can avoid some of the disadvantages posed by partnering with other firms by setting up wholly-owned subsidiaries in the target markets. The assumptions behind a wholly-owned subsidiary are that: the company can afford the costs involved in setting up a wholly-owned subsidiary, the company is willing to commit to the market in the long term, and the local government allows foreign companies to set up wholly-owned subsidiaries on its territory. This may be found in the Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries section (8-3g)..
