Nestern Europe
This largely encouraged them to indulge in foreign marketing by directly liaising with CUE thus making investment in those countries. Being located in Nesters Europe, particularly in Austria, was an added advantage since strong bonds had been created during the cold war thus a clear understanding of the market at that time compared to other countries which gave them an added opportunity. Opening up the tariff barriers allowed Grant to partner with other gigantic companies such as Nestle, Coca-Cola and Pepsi making it to gain a wide scope of customers.
Also stipulations on increased industrialization from the European Union have forced the company to focus on expansion in order to compete with other growing companies’ worldwide and ensure threshold growth of both Austria and the countries which have their substitutes branches.

It can also import these product from different countries of Europe and other continents thus no deficit. Further substitutes branches are located in areas Inhere the local materials are locally available. These are among the added advantages that have made it rise to a global supplier. 3. From an institution-based view, what opportunities and challenges have been roughs by the integration of EX. markets in both Western Europe and CUE? He EX.
and CUE have formed strong ties which have been extended from the time of the cold war and this has positively worked to enhance countries of such groups to form strong ties thus adversely helping Grant to establish itself and increase the opportunities of a good wide market. Both organizations have imposed new laws on Sugar Companies putting them pressure to diversify their products so as to compete Ninth other companies, this has worked as an opportunity for Grant to expand reduction to alcohols and befouls.
It has also constantly advertised on the need for sustainability of the environment thus recycling of waste which though an added cost is a plan embraced by Grant in order to start refining useful products through fermentation processes such as alcohols. EX. in particular has ensured that corporate and social responsibility of industries have been embraced so that industries bring positive effects such as employment , infrastructure and improved living conditions for the surrounding other than increased pollution and crime in order to bring up a orally upright society.
On the other hand the EX.
and CUE have posed as a big Challenge by their ability to regulate prices, the tariffs for both importation and exportation of goods. This has denied Grant the autonomy to decide the outcome of the company due to frequent fluctuations and irregularities in both their finished products and the raw materials that they require. Thus both the EX. and CUE have greatly influenced Grant through their continued advocacy for increased industrialization in Europe and the entire world.
