Introduction
In order to expand business outside home country, ensuring effective strategic management is
must. This report aims at devising strategic planning, development and implementation for the
global expansion of Nucor Corporation. Nucor is the largest steel manufacturing company
operating in the steel industry of the United States. This company was founded in 1940 by Leon
J. Topalian. It is headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, US and has its operations in
different countries of the world including Colombia, Mexico, Switzerland, and the United Arab
Emirates. Nucor Corporation is a listed company of Fortune 500 companies ranked at 139th
position (Staff, 2021). The current turnover ratio of Nucor as of 31 December 2020 fourth quarter
is 5.09 which is a very good indicator of company’s performance. At present, on around 26,800
employees are working for the company worldwide. However, Nucor serves in many countries
but it does not have its operation in the United Kingdom. Since the UK is a very good platform
for operating the multinational companies, in this report, the strategic plan to take Nucor to the
UK will be discussed. Besides, proper strategic development and implementation in terms of
different rules and legislations will be provided to ensure a smooth entry and operation of Nucor
Corporation in the United Kingdom.
