dramatically increase. It made China become one of the most attractive market for
international organisations. Meanwhile, with the fast development economic globalization
and communication globalization, more and more international organisations tries to expand

will influence companies’ future objective. The entry strategy was divided into three main
modes, export entry mode, contractual entry mode and investment entry mode. This
research is focus on international retail organisations, analyse their internal factors which
may or may not have impact on market entry strategy. Eight internal factors were chosen
