International growth sooner or later becomes an objective for many companies, regardless of the sector they operate in or the product they offer. International growth cannot properly be supported nor sustained without adopting a solid localization strategy, however.
Global growth is a complex, intricate and multidimensional undertaking requiring a vast array of skills and expertise often overlooked when plans to expand to new territories are just starting to take shape. As companies inch closer to carrying out their global expansion plans, it’s quite possible (and indeed highly recommended) that roadmaps include a phase for testing out the markets to see whether there's even a need or desire for the product or service.
