Foreign expansion of retailers has been mostly through acquisitions of domestic chains in other countries, some greenfield investment, and joint ventures with local companies.

Greenfield investments are less common, since these generally imply much larger risks and financial commitments for the investing enterprise.

They thus play an important part in generating greenfield investments and in expanding existing business activities into new areas.

Greenfield activities are preferred because of the financial position and the scale of overseas operations of SMEs, which are relatively smaller.

The preference for joint ventures and greenfield investment has a great deal to do with the lack of firm specific advantages among these SMEs from Singapore.
