M&S and Tesla challenged Chinese market with different entry modes so as to adapt into demand of target consumers, also its ownership advantage affect initiative and motivations in China. Besides, M&S determined WOS and franchise separately in mainland China and Hong Kong, investment environment differentiate location advantages, which plays different level of effect on entry mode selection.
