Due to increasing globalisation and the growing trade volume associated with it, many companies are forced to develop internationally and enter new markets. An international market entry can lead to the desired success of many companies. However, this is associated with risks and costs. Especially for small companies, this step is very daring and presents them with great challenges due to their lack of international experience. Therefore, it is crucial to plan an international market entry well and to develop a systematic market entry concept, which includes a detailed analysis and planning phase, as well as a subsequent implementation and control phase. In the context of this master thesis, a market entry of small and medium-sized enterprises into the clothing market, both in theory and practice, is examined. The aim is to develop a market entry concept for the FoF OG, which wants to enter the Israeli market with the clothing brand Bolao. After the most important findings for developing a market entry concept have been presented by means of extensive literature research, the practical part is based on a qualitative market analysis. For this purpose, 15 expert interviews were conducted with experienced people in the Israeli clothing industry, by companies that have already entered the Israeli market, and with representatives of Footvolley Israel. The experts confirmed the theoretical findings that for a small company like the FoF OG, with few financial and human resources, as well as a lack of access to the Israeli market, direct exporting via a local distributer is the most advisable market entry mode. In this context, it is relevant to find a trustworthy partner in the Israeli market on a long-term basis. In addition, due to increasing competition, it is important to enter the Israeli market as soon as possible in order to position Bolao right in the market and to increase the brand awareness in Israel. For this purpose, a partnership with a footvolley school should be established and a cooperation with local footvolley teams should be started. To achieve the company’s objectives, the branding of a footvolley arena, the translation of Bolao’s website into Hebrew and the targeting of potential customers via social media should be realised. Furthermore, it is a major goal to establish the Bolao Bonus programme on the Israeli market.
