I'm not sure what appropriate alternatives it means, but the methods of expansion are exporting, direct foreign investment, relocation of production, management contract, and licensing/ franchising.
With your beverage business, you could export it to other countries. Not exactly sure what direct foreign investment means
.
Relocation in production, labour work might be lower in other countries (or might be cheaper to make it there and distribute it rather than making it in the home country then distribute it through exporting.
Management contract, I'm not sure but I think its dealing with the problem that Australia has a different timezone and is very far from the 'business focus' like america or something. Don't know whats it got to do with manage contracts though.
Licensing/franchising is when you could expand your business by franchising overseas.
Thats all I can think of / remember right now =D
