The Body Shop International Plc has been established in 1976 by Anita Roddick, as the first ethical beauty company to pioneer "a new kind of sustainable business."

Therefore, some theoretical background in strategic international management will be explained. With the help of Porters Five Forces, changes within The Body Shops competitive environment will be discussed. By looking at the modes of entering foreign markets, as well as timing strategies, The Body Shops internationalization will be analyzed. Can the OLI-framework answer why the company has engaged in international markets in a certain way? Especially after entering the U.S. market, the company faced some major challenges.

The latest part of this essay will describe the reasons and analyze the strategic position of The Body Shop before the takeover.
