We used a three-stage game theory model which in the first step, the entrant chooses the entry strategy, in the second stage, firms determine the prices by forming a profit function and in the third period, consumers decide which goods to consume. The results show that entry occurs and entrant attract a majority of consumers, if the fixed costs of direct entry are lower than the export fixed costs, the complementary degree is higher than the export variable costs and the network effects are large enough. The entrant can also choose the direct entry strategy by implementing the assumptions which expressed in propositions and captures the foreign market by considering the network effects and large complementary degree.
