The semiconductor industry is a dynamic, fast-moving branch with the overall aim to facilitate people’s lives. Therefore many inventions and innovations have arisen by this industry. After proving a technology’s efficacy in one market, additional markets and applications are identified. Hence, managers of semiconductor companies have to think about an appropriate market-entry strategy. Regularly, marketentries fail because of missing structures or defined procedures. The current master’s thesis deals with designing a procedure model regarding market-entry strategies for the semiconductor industry. Firstly, the conceptual basis is outlined to define important topics within the thesis. After that, an intense literature review covers the semiconductor industry with its characteristics and generic market-entry strategies. With the insights and results of the literature review, a theoretical procedure model for market-entry strategies is designed. The model is validated and proved through a workshop of NXP Semiconductors on a real targeted market. Moreover, an in-depth study incorporating interviews with experts on NXP Semiconductors and other semiconductor companies verifies and requests feedback with respect to the newly designed procedure model. Finally, the model is adapted and recommendations for implementing it are made. The semiconductor industry is a complex and very dynamic branch with specific characteristics and requirements, properties which a procedure model for market-entry strategies must consider. This thesis develops and designs a procedure model to offer an approach to that effect, with final recommendations for an implementation at NXP Semiconductors.
