E. contract manufacturing
Answer:
B. Direct ownership.
Step-by-step explanation:
Direct ownership is a method of entering a foreign market that has a domestic firm actively managing a foreign company or overseas facility.
Generally, it considered to be a good option when there exist similarities between the domestic and foreign cultures and when political risks associated with the market are very minimal or little.
However, direct ownership is considered to be the riskiest method of entering a foreign market and it typically requires more commitment from the business owner than any other method of entering a foreign market such as joint ventures, exporting, licensing, contract manufacturing, piggybacking, franchising etc.
