The company was formed in 2000 to produce and sell a variety of bread, buns, cakes, and other pastries. Chiefly, it operates more than 38 outlets in Singapore where it began (BreadTalk, 2017). Since its establishment, The BreadTalk Pte.

Other countries in which the group operates include Malaysia, Thailand, China, Vietnam, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia. Considering the recent development in which BreadTalk Pte. Ltd has engaged Myanmar as a possible region for expansion; this document asserts the position that the company is in a global expansion strategy. At the time of presenting this report, it had not ventured into the African, European, and US markets (BreadTalk, 2017). Consequently, some of the nations that BreadTalk Pte.

Model and Form of Operations BreadTalk Pte. Ltd is a bakery that deals in the production and sale of a wide variety of bread, cakes, buns, and other pastries. The ingredients for all of the company's products are carefully handpicked to ensure the production of premium products, provide new creations andBREADTALK PTE LTD 3 flavors, and to satisfy the consumers' lifestyle and taste. Experienced master chefs are hired to ensure that the firm continues to offer nothing but the best. The products are sold through the many retail outlets operated by the company (BreadTalk, 2017). Motive of Expanding Internationally The motive for expanding in international markets is driven more by the need to access new markets where it will maximize profits provided by the opportunities of a wider market niche (BreadTalk, 2017). It is also one way of ensuring that the stakeholders get value for their investments now that it is a public trade company. The BreadTalk Pte. Ltd is a listed company in Singapore. Therefore, the company is focused on growing profitability and returns to its shareholders. Consequently, one of the major motives for expanding globally is to access more markets, which will lead to increased profits (BreadTalk, 2017). The second reason for international expansion lies in the fact that such expansion enables the organization to access more opportunities, including access to new markets, talents, and new sources of inputs. Notably, BreadTalk Pte. Ltd has expanded to more than 17 countries in Asia, but it has not ventured into the US, Europe, and Africa (BreadTalk, 2017). Focusing on the new markets would not only offer opportunities for the growth of revenues and profits but also new experiences. Three Countries for Possible Foreign Market Expansion The three countries that BreadTalk Pte. Ltd should consider expanding are the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia. There are several reasons for the selection of the three countries. Firstly, the three countries have large populations that would offer an additional market for the company's products. The nations are considerably wealthy as compared to theBREADTALK PTE LTD 4 markets in Asia and, as a result, they offer unique opportunities for growth as the disposable incomes are considerably high (Kuehn, 2016). Thirdly, the three nations boast of high populations of Asian immigrants who would be highly interested in the products offered by BreadTalk Pte. Ltd (BreadTalk, 2017).
