Market research and information about the industry is very important to the organization because it will allow the organization to position itself well in terms of sourcing chocolate raw materials and in identifying the market for its products.

Asemi observe that Management Information System (MIS) is one of the information systems that is computer based. Besides, Asemi defines MIS as “an organizational method of providing past, present and project information related to internal operations and external intelligences. It supports the planning, control and operation functions of an organization by furnishing uniform information in the proper time frame to assist the decision makers,” (2011). The aim of MIS is to satisfy the general information need of the entire manager in an organization. Before the advent of computers, the process of decision-making was one that was full of built-in advantages and ad hoc methods.

The equation that as used to get that was Revenue Growth= 100 × (Current Value-Prior Value/Prior Value) 100 × (11,850,480-11,991,558/11,991,558). The change in the sales revenue could have happened for very many reasons. Being a premium chocolate making company, their product may not have been very high in demand.

Another issue that Charles Chocolate’s faced their competitors, such as Godiva and Lindt, are more of a well known brand then they are.
The aim of this report is to present and critically estimate the market strategies of an international and a local chocolate manufacturer in Austria. The analysis is carried out in three stages – macro-environment (PEST analysis), micro-environment (Porter’s Five Forces Model) and company comparison (SWOT analysis).

Concerning environmental, reducing carbon footprint is emphasised to big companies. “Companies like Sainsbury’s can contribute a lot of impact on the environment. To do this Sainsbury’s would have to put in more towards the green issue” (UK Essay 2014) Legally, Sainsbury’s would have to make sure to follow policies concerning label and packaging which could be an added financial load to Sainsbury’s.
