Author

Bhumi Patil, Prof. Piyush Dixit

Abstract

 This study examines a strategic market-entry problem faced by German businesses exploring India: how to convert a broad business requirement into a structured and actionable set of market opportunities, potential customers, technology partners and competitors. Using an exploratory-descriptive research design, the study develops a practical framework linking requirement definition, sector analysis, company identification, screening, classification and decision-support communication. The findings indicate that research effectiveness depends less on information volume than on relevance, evidence, consistent classification and clear presentation. The study proposes a strategic research funnel for more systematic and efficient international market-entry assessment.
