I think that the Rip Curl strategy is not reasonable. Rip Curl recognized the advantage of producing sportswear for surfing in Brazil in comparison with Australia. However, this is only an advantage if Rip Curl sells sports surf products produced in Brazil to the Australian market. All competitors Rip Curl in the Brazilian market will have the same production costs as the daughter company Rip Curl in Brazil, so Rip Curl will not have an advantage in the Brazilian market.
