Pursuing a profit sanctuary strategy is not a valid option for expansion into foreign markets. This term is not commonly used in international business and does not refer to a recognized strategy. The other options (employing a franchising strategy, relying on strategic alliances or joint ventures, establishing a subsidiary through acquisition or greenfield development or maintaining a national production base and exporting goods) are all valid options for expanding into foreign markets.
