This study will primarily focus on Jerónimo Martins’ international expansion to examine if it is desirable for the Group to continue its expansion into other “Visegrad Group” countries. The study takes into consideration the fantastic success of the company on the Polish market and investigates the reasons for their recent expansion to Colombian market, thereby avoiding further expansion on the European market. The study evaluates SWOT analysis, as well as KSF and concludes, that it is advisable that company sticks to its strategy of expanding to highly populated, emerging markets. The herein analysis was developed using information provided by the Group and also by international economic institutions.

Celem niniejszej pracy jest próba odpowiedzi na kwestie związane z wejściem na rynek krajów „Grupy Wyszehradzkiej”. Biorąc pod uwagę spektakularny sukces Jerónimo Martins na polskim rynku oraz niedawne otwarcie się JM na rynek kolumbijski, zbadano, które czynniki wpłynęły na wybór tych lokalizacji oraz przeanalizowano, czy ekspansja do pozostałych państw „Grupy Wyszehradzkiej” jest działaniem pożądanym. W artykule przedstawiono analizę mocnych i słabych stron, szans i zagrożeń dla Jerónimo Martins, a także „głównych czynników sukcesu”.
