Capital Structure Optimization of Beauty Brands in International Market Expansion: The Integration of Financing Options and Market Entry Strategies by Deng Keer

“…In view of the differentiation between the stagnation of mature markets and the rapid growth of emerging markets in the Asia-Pacific region, this paper reveals the dynamic matching mechanism between financing methods (debt, equity, and hybrid) and market entry models (mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, and greenfield investment) through a longitudinal analysis of the financial data of multinational beauty groups. The results show that the suitability of capital structure and market entry strategy significantly affects the success rate of expansion-mature markets prefer debt financing and wholly-owned models, while emerging markets need to adopt hybrid financing and joint venture strategies to diversify risks. …”
