Why Colorful..?
“Overseas expansion is not progressing as expected”
Failures in overseas expansions happen often due to a lack of localization to the target market.
Overseas expansion is more than just setting up a base—it requires an approach customized to local cultures and consumer needs.
Without this, companies do not fully capitalize on their international presence, leading to an over-reliance on domestic projects.
Effective localization, achieved through a deep understanding of local culture, consumer behavior, and business practices, is the key to successful international expansion.
