Comparative analysis of the Indian and Swiss markets and Implications for the Internationalisation Strategies of Multinational Corporations 1.0 Introduction to the Task This report presents an analysis of two international markets: India (an emerging market) and Switzerland (an industrialised country). The aim is to compare the two markets and to formulate strategies that multinational corporations can deploy to ensure success in the two markets. With a population of 1.34bn, India is the second-most populous country in the world and, therefore potentially presents MNCs with one of the largest markets globally.  In contrast, Switzerland, with a population of only 8.6m people, has a potentially tiny market (World Bank, 2019a). Even though India has a much larger economy (2017 GDP of $ 2.597 trillion) compared to Switzerland (2017 GDP of $678.9 billion), India’s larger population translates to a much lower per capita GDP ($1,939.61 compared to $ 80,189.70). Moreover, India’s economy has been growing faster than that of Switzerland. Over the past five years, the GDP growth rate for Switzerland has varied between 2.45% and 2.54% compared to India’s 5.5% – 6.6%.…
