)xpanding a business abroad can be cumbersome because choosing
the country to conduct (uture acti'ities is in1uenced not only by the
business en'ironment and prospects in that particular country but also
by the potential outcomes i( another state 4ere to be chosen.
+n our case the main Auestion is<
Which country would be the most appropriate to set up an
Adlershof branch?
eaching an ans4er presupposes the creation o( an AHP structure that
con'eys the criteria and alternati'es in Auestion. *he possible countries (or
the upcoming expansion are< omania2 South A(rica and .hina. *he criteria
are represented by< energy in(rastructure2 secure legislati'e en'ironment and

*his criterion re(ers to the capability o( the countries to support the
installation o( solar 9elds in terms o( designated areas (or solar energy. +n this
sense 4e may ha'e grids and transmission operators that are up to date 4ith
technology and are able to streamline the processes. +n addition2 energy
in(rastructure re(ers to a complex net4or: that (acilitates consumers3 access
to reliable electricity ser'ices. *he energy policies are desired to be compliant
4ith the installation procedures used by Adlersho(. #reen energy procedures

prepare the installation o( solar panels.
!ecure legislative environment
As the name already suggests2 besides the idea o( solar energy panels and
in(rastructure2 the la4 in that particular country should be supporti'e 4ith
international companies desiring to set up branches and by de(ault create
5obs and impro'e the standard o( li'ing. *he case may be that in countries
4ith a less democratic perspecti'e there is a general tendency to discourage
starting up business 4hen the shareholders are (oreigners. ).g.< .hina and
the contro'ersial past regarding the hostile ta:eo'er o( international
branches and closing se'eral others. *his is 'ery less probable no4adays2 but
a small Auestion mar: remains.
"ost #ectiveness
*his criterion re1ects the (uture prospects o( the company regarding the
labour costs2 material costs2 the costs o( the initial in'estments as 4ell as the
ability to become pro9table and increase pro9t margin in a relati'ely short
period o( time. ).g.< .hina is percei'ed as ha'ing the lo4est costs but there is
an increasing trend in 4or:ers 34ages and standard o( li'ing2 hereby
suggesting that South A(rica might be the Ene4F .hina2 although its
in(rastructure reAuires extensi'e impro'ements.
