(Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2008) Also consistent are the findings of Shouming Zou and S Tamer Cavusgil, “The GMS: A Broad Conceptualization of Global Marketing Strategy and Its Effect on Firm Performance,” Journal of Marketing 66, no (October 2002), pp 40–57 11 Dannie Kjeldgaard and Soren Askegaard, “The Glocalization of Youth Culture: The Global Youth Segment as Structures of Common Difference,” Journal of Consumer Research 33 (2006), pp 21–27 cat2994X_ch12_330-357.indd 334 18/08/10 12:17 PM Chapter 12 Global Marketing Management: Planning and Organization 335 regarding media-based segmentation: “With media splintering into smaller and smaller communities of interest, it will become more and more important to reach those audiences wherever [whichever country] they may be Today, media companies are increasingly delivering their content over a variety of platforms: broadcast—both TV and radio—and cable, online and print, big screen video, and the newest portable digital media including 3-D And advertisers are using the same variety of platforms to reach their desired audience.” Finally, perhaps a few famous Italian brands are the best examples: Salvatore Ferragamo shoes, Gucci leather goods, and Ferrari cars sell to the highest-income segments globally Indeed, for all three companies, their U.S sales are greater than their Italian sales In the 21st century, standardization versus adaptation is simply not the right question to ask.12 Rather, the crucial question facing international marketers is what are the most efficient ways to segment markets.13 Country has been the most obvious segmentation variable, particularly for Americans But as better communication systems continue to dissolve national borders, other dimensions of global markets are growing in salience The Nestlé Way: Nestlé certainly hasn’t been bothered by the debate on standardization versus adaptation Evolution Not Nestlé has been international almost from its start in 1866 as a maker of infant formula Revolution By 1920, the company was producing in Brazil, Australia, and the United States and ex- porting to Hong Kong Today, it sells more than 8,500 products produced in 489 factories in 193 countries Nestlé is the world’s biggest marketer of infant formula, powdered milk, instant coffee, chocolate, soups, and mineral water It ranks second in ice cream, and in cereals, it ties Ralston Purina and trails only Kellogg Company Its products are sold in the most upscale supermarkets in Beverly Hills, California, and in huts in Nigeria, where women sell Nestlé bouillon cubes alongside homegrown tomatoes and onions Although the company has no sales agents in North Korea, its products somehow find their way into stores there, too The “Nestlé way” is to dominate its markets Its overall strategy can be summarized in four points: (1) think and plan long term, (2) decentralize, (3) stick to what you know, and (4) adapt to local tastes To see how Nestlé operates, take a look at its approach to Poland, one of the largest markets of the former Soviet bloc Company executives decided at the outset that it would take too long to build plants and create brand awareness Instead, the company pursued acquisitions and followed a strategy of “evolution not revolution.” It purchased Goplana, Poland’s second-best-selling chocolate maker (it bid for the No company but lost out) and carefully adjusted the end product via small changes every two months over a two-year period until it measured up to Nestlé’s standards and was a recognizable Nestlé brand These efforts, along with all-out marketing, put the company within striking distance of the market leader, Wedel Nestlé also purchased a milk operation and, as it did in Mexico, India, and elsewhere, sent technicians into the field to help Polish farmers improve the quality and quantity of the milk it buys through better feeds and improved sanitation Nestlé’s efforts in the Middle East are much longer term The area currently represents only about percent of the company’s worldwide sales, and the markets, individually, are relatively small Furthermore, regional conflicts preclude most trade among the countries Nevertheless, Nestlé anticipates that hostility will someday subside, and when that happens, the company will be ready to sell throughout the entire region Nestlé has set up a network of factories in five countries that can someday supply the entire region with different products The company makes ice cream in Dubai and soups and cereals in Saudi Arabia The Egyptian factory makes yogurt and bouillon, while Turkey produces chocolate And a factory in Syria makes ketchup, a malted-chocolate energy food, instant noodles, and other 12 Aviv Shoham, Maja

between the countries come down, Nestlé will have a network of plants ready to provide a complete line to market in all the countries In the meantime, factories produce and sell mostly in the countries in which they are located For many companies, such a long-term strategy would not be profitable, but it works for Nestlé because the company relies on local ingredients and markets products that consumers can afford The tomatoes and wheat used in the Syrian factory, for example, are major local agricultural products Even if Syrian restrictions on trade remain, there are 14 million people to buy ketchup, noodles, and other products the company produces there In all five countries, the Nestlé name and the bird-in-a-nest trademark appear on every product Nestlé bills itself as “the only company that is truly dedicated to providing a complete range of food products to meet the needs and tastes of people from around the world, each hour of their day, throughout their entire lives.” Benefits of Global Few firms have truly global operations balanced across major regional markets However, Marketing when large international market segments can be identified, economies of scale in produc-14 tion and marketing can be important competitive advantages for multinational companies As a case in point, Black & Decker Manufacturing Company—makers of electrical hand tools, appliances, and other consumer products—realized significant production cost savings when it adopted a pan-European strategy It was able to reduce not only the number of motor sizes for the European market from 260 to but also 15 different models to Similarly, Ford estimates that by unifying product development, purchasing, and supply activities across several countries, it saves more than $3 billion a year Finally, while Japanese firms initially dominated the mobile phone business in their home market, international competitors now pose growing challenges via better technologies developed through greater global penetration Transfer of experience and know-how across countries through improved coordination and integration of marketing activities is also cited as a benefit of global operations.15 Global diversity in marketing talent leads to new approaches across markets.16 Unilever successfully introduced two global brands originally developed by two subsidiaries Its South African subsidiary developed Impulse body spray, and a European branch developed a detergent that cleaned effectively in European hard water Aluminum Company of America’s (Alcoa) joint venture partner in Japan produced aluminum sheets so perfect that U.S workers, when shown samples, accused the company of hand-selecting the samples Line workers were sent to the Japanese plant to learn the techniques, which were then transferred to the U.S operations Because of the benefits of such transfers of knowledge, Alcoa has changed its practice of sending managers overseas to “keep an eye on things” to sending line workers and managers to foreign locations to seek out new techniques and processes Marketing globally also ensures that marketers have access to the toughest customers For example, in many product and service categories, the Japanese consumer has been the hardest to please; the demanding customers are the reason that the highest-quality products and services often emanate from that country Competing for Japanese customers provides firms with the best testing ground for high-quality products and services 14 Natalia Vila and Ines Kuster, “Success and Internationalization: Analysis of the Textile

revolution took place that has since changed the concept of retailing and created a mass market in a category where none previously existed The catalyst of the change was and is IKEA, the Swedish furniture retailer and distributor that virtually invented the idea of self-service, takeout furniture IKEA sells reasonably priced and innovatively designed furniture and home furnishings for a global marketplace The name was registered in Agunnaryd, Sweden, in 1943 by Ingvar Kamprad—the IK in the company’s name He entered the furniture market in 1950, and the first catalog was published in 1951 The first store didn’t open until 1958 in Almhult It became so incredibly popular that a year later the store had to add a restaurant for people who were traveling long distances to get there IKEA entered the United States in 1985 Although IKEA is global, most of the action takes place in Europe, with about 85 percent of the firm’s $7 billion in sales Nearly one-fourth of that comes from stores in Germany This level compares with only about $1 billion in NAFTA countries One reason for the relatively slow growth in the United States is that its stores are franchised by Netherlands-based Inter IKEA Systems, which carefully scrutinizes potential franchisees—individuals or companies—for strong financial backing and a proven record in retailing The IKEA Group, based in Denmark, is a group of private companies owned by a charitable foundation in the Netherlands; it operates more than 100 stores The Group also develops, purchases, 337 Swedish Takeout distributes, and sells IKEA products, which are available only in company stores The items are purchased from more than 2,400 suppliers in 65 countries and shipped through 14 distribution centers The goal of sourcing 30 percent of timber in both China and Russia has not yet been reached, but the efforts continue Low price is built into the company’s lines Even catalog prices are guaranteed not to increase for one year The drive to produce affordable products inadvertently put IKEA at the forefront of the environmental movement several decades ago In addition to lowering costs, minimization of materials and packing addressed natural resource issues Environmentalism remains an integral operational issue at IKEA Even the company’s catalog is completely recyclable and produced digitally rather than on film On the day that Russia’s first IKEA store opened in 2000, the wait to get in was an hour Highway traffic backed up for miles More than 40,000 people crammed into the place, picking clean sections of the warehouse The store still pulls in more than 100,000 customers per week IKEA has big plans for Russia Company officials are placing IKEA’s simple shelves, kitchens, bathrooms, and bedrooms in millions of Russian apartments that haven’t been remodeled since the Soviet days And now IKEA has opened five new stores in China’s biggest cities Sources: Colin McMahon, “Russians Flock to IKEA as

Sustainable Timber,” Environmental Data Services, July 2009, p 22 Diversity of markets served carries with it additional financial benefits.17 Spreading the portfolio of markets served brings important stability of revenues and operations to many global companies.18 Companies with global marketing operations suffered less during the Asian market downturn of the late 1990s than did firms specializing in the area Firms that market globally are able to take advantage of changing financial circumstances in other ways as well For example, as tax and tariff rates ebb and flow around the world, the most global companies are able to leverage the associated complexity to their advantage 17 N Capar and M Kotabe have noted that for services firms, the relationship between international diversification and firm performance can be curvilinear (that is, both not enough and too much are bad); see “The Relationship between International Diversification and Performance in Service Firms,”

deals with U.S and European operators Now Steve Jobs is turning east, making plans to enter Japan, one of the biggest and most sophisticated mobile phone markets in the world People familiar with the situation say Jobs recently met with NTT DoCoMo Inc.’s president, Masao Nakamura, to discuss a deal to offer the iPhone in Japan through the nation’s dominant mobile operator These informants said Apple also has been talking to the No operator, Softbank Corp., and that executives from both companies have made multiple trips to Apple’s Cupertino, California, headquarters For Apple, finding a wireless partner soon in Japan is an important step in the company’s oft-stated goal of gaining a percent share of the global cell phone business by shipping about 10 million iPhones between the product’s launch in late June 2007 and the end of 2008 The world’s second-largest economy, after the United States, is an attractive market because it not only has a strong base of iPod fans, but its nearly 100 million mobile phone users buy new phones every two years on average Japanese consumers also are accustomed to shelling out hundreds of dollars for expensive phones with advanced capabilities, such as digital television, cameras, and music Apple Shops for Partners around the World Yet Japan could be a difficult market to crack for Apple More than 10 domestic mobile phone makers work closely with the three major operators to develop phones tailored to Japanese consumers’ tastes In the past, foreign mobile phone makers have not been willing to go to such lengths and generally have met with little success in selling their phones, especially when those phones not contain essential Japanese features, such as the operators’ proprietary mobile Internet technology or e-mail software that Japanese consumers are used to having The iPhone has been successful thus far in countries where it has been launched Apple sold a total of 1.4 million iPhones by late September 2007 And though sales of the product did not quite meet some of the most bullish Wall Street forecasts, the iPhone has been one of the top-selling smart phones in the United States, where it is sold only through AT&T Inc., the nation’s largest carrier by subscribers In the end, Apple has partnered with Softbank in Japan and China Unicom and is expecting the momentum to continue well into the future Sources: John Markoff, “A Personal Computer to Carry in a Pocket,” The New York Times, January 8, 2007, pp C1, C3; Yukari Iwatani and Nick Wingfield, “Apple Meets with DoCoMo, Softbank on

systematized way of relating to the future It is an attempt to manage the effects of external, uncontrollable factors on the firm’s strengths, weaknesses, objectives, and goals to attain a desired end Furthermore, it is a commitment of resources to a country market to achieve specific goals In other words, planning is the job of making things happen that might not otherwise occur Planning allows for rapid growth of the international function, changing markets, increasing competition, and the turbulent challenges of different national markets The plan must blend the changing parameters of external country environments with corporate objectives and capabilities to develop a sound, workable marketing program.19 A strategic plan commits corporate resources to products and markets to increase competitiveness and profits Planning relates to the formulation of goals and methods of accomplishing them, so it is both a process and a philosophy Structurally, planning may be viewed as corporate, strategic, or tactical International corporate planning is essentially long term, incorporating generalized goals for the enterprise as a whole Strategic planning is conducted at the highest levels of management and deals with products, capital, research, and the long- and short-term goals of the company Tactical planning, or market planning, pertains to specific actions and to the allocation of resources used to implement strategic planning goals 19 Wade M Danis, Dan S Chiaburu, and Majorie A Lyles, “The Impact of Managerial Networking Intensity and Market-Based Strategies

cat2994X_ch12_330-357.indd 338 18/08/10 12:17 PM Chapter 12 Global Marketing Management: Planning and Organization 339 in specific markets Tactical plans are made at the local level and address marketing and advertising questions A major advantage for a multinational corporation (MNC) involved in planning is the discipline imposed by the process An international marketer who has gone through the planning process has a framework for analyzing marketing problems and opportunities and a basis for coordinating information from different country markets The process of planning may be as important as the plan itself, because it forces decision makers to examine all factors that affect the success of a marketing program and involves those who will be responsible for its implementation Another key to successful planning is evaluating company objectives, including management’s commitment and philosophical orientation to international business Finally, the planning process is a primary medium of organizational learning Company Objectives Defining objectives clarifies the orientation of the domestic and international divisions, and Resources permitting consistent policies The lack of well-defined objectives has found companies rushing into promising foreign markets only to find activities that conflict with or detract from the companies’ primary objectives Foreign market opportunities not always parallel corporate objectives; it may be necessary to change the objectives, alter the scale of international plans, or abandon them One market may offer immediate profit but have a poor long-run outlook, while another may offer the reverse Only when corporate objectives are clear can such differences be reconciled effectively International The planning approach taken by an international firm affects the degree of internationalCommitment ization to which management is philosophically committed Such commitment affects the specific international strategies and decisions of the firm After company objectives have been identified, management needs to determine whether it is prepared to make the level of commitment required for successful international operations—commitment in terms of dollars to be invested, personnel for managing the international organization, and determination to stay in the market long enough to realize a return on these investments.20 A company uncertain of its prospects is likely to enter a market timidly, using inefficient marketing methods, channels, or organizational forms, thus setting the stage for the failure of a venture that might have succeeded with full commitment and support by the parent company Any long-term marketing plan should be fully supported by senior management and have realistic time goals set for sales growth Occasionally, casual market entry is successful, but more often than not, market success requires long-term commitment.21 Finally, a new series of studies is demonstrating a strong regional preference for multinational companies as they expand their operations.22 Part of this preference is due to the challenges associated with cultural distance23 and part with physical
