  • Members of the Senate Commerce, Labor & Economic Development
    Members of the Senate Commerce, Labor & Economic Development Committee Presented by Dirk Bloemendaal, Amway Government Affairs (Ada, Michigan) Support for SB 2231 / Strengthening State Pyramid Scheme Law Introduction: On behalf of our 2,000 Kansas independent business owners, I wish to express Amway’s strong support for SB 2231, a bill that would strengthen Kansas’s anti-pyramid scheme law. Kansas has a law on the books that needs to be updated and strengthened. SB 2231 will also draw a clear line of distinction between legitimate direct selling opportunities in Kansas and illegal pyramid schemes. Too often, pyramid schemes succeed because of the lack of clear laws defining them. Pyramid schemes continue to appear and re-invent themselves around the country despite the best efforts of the law enforcement community. SB 2231 will more clearly define illegal pyramid promotional schemes and help protect Kansans from becoming victims. The new law will also protect legitimate direct selling opportunities, such as those offered by Amway, Mary Kay, Avon, Nu Skin, Pampered Chef, Shaklee, Southwestern Advantage, Thirty-One Gifts, Tupperware and many other well-respected companies. Thousands of Kansans are independent distributors of these income-earning opportunities, supplementing their family incomes by selling quality products to family, friends, and neighbors, while interesting others to do the same. Amway alone has over 2,000 independent Kansas distributors, working to help their families. The line of distinction separating out their legal small businesses from illegal pyramid schemes must be clear and strong. What Pyramid Schemes Are: Pyramid schemes are illegal get-rich-quick schemes in which the main source of money comes from paying large recruiting fees – not from the sales of real product to real consumers.

We find that MNEs have different market entry and expansion strategies in the home region and in the foreign region. Home region MNEs (Japanese MNEs in this case), in general, utilize their firm-specific advantages (FSAs) better than foreign region MNEs (European and MNEs from the Americas in this case). Due to differences in transaction costs, home region MNEs exploit downstream FSAs while foreign region MNEs develop upstream FSAs. Market similarity also leads to a greater incentive to operate in the home region rather than in foreign regions. The home region effect significantly increases the likelihood of entry into foreign markets as the host country’s “diamond” significantly affects the market entry strategies of MNEs.
