There are many factors which affect the choice of entry modes. Influential factors contributing to the entry mode decision can have different degrees of impact for each particular country. As a consequence, an MNC has to use different entry modes in order to adapt to the specific situations it faces in its international expansion strategy.

Running Head: THE ALCATEL-LUCENT MERGER – WHAT WENT WRONG? King Graduate School, Monroe College MBA – Master in Business Administration Program MG615 – Managing in the Global Environment Case Study Analysis Title : The Alcatel – Lucent Merger – What Went Wrong? Instructor : Benjamin Menald Student Name: Anderson L Henry Student ID: E-mail contact info: ahenry6000@monroecollege.edu Table of Contents Abstract 3 Background 4 Assumptions 7 Alternatives 11 Conclusion 13 Recommendations 15 References 16 Abstract The merger of communications equipment maker Alcatel of France and Lucent Technologies, a U.S telecommunications giant company, in 2006 provides us with a good example of some of the mistakes international managers must seek to avoid when negotiating mergers and joint ventures. This paper seeks to dissect key factors such as cross-cultural negotiations, leadership and managerial styles which were not appropriately addressed before the merger which lead to the subsequent poor performance of the newly formed company Alcatel-Lucent. Additionally, we will examine the changes which were made in an attempt to reverse the poor performance trend of the merged company Alcatel-Lucent and gauge whether they were successful and finally we will look at the current position of the merged company and examine its relevance and viability in today’s economy.
