Market Penetration: market penetration tragedy refers to the market expand gradually expand strategy, the strategy of standard chartered group can expand the scale of production, increase product function, develop new markets. Its core strategy is embodied in two aspects: infiltration and objectives by using existing products open up new markets and provide new products to the existing market penetration.
