Leo Burnett, an advertising agency, partners up with Ontann Beauty Care (OBC) to create a new line of beauty products called Forever Young. The line had 2 different teams, one for Asia and one for North America. The Asia team produced for the market in Taiwan, while the team from North America produced for the markets in London and Canada. The team from Taiwan reported success with their campaign while the North America team had difficulties throughout the stages of the launch process. The poor performance in the Canadian market was due to the ineffective project management and coordination between the two teams from Leo Burnett. There was also a lack of a communication protocol between the team from Canada and the team from …show more content…
Because Leo Burnett wanted to keep a good relationship with OBC, they decided to centralize all the decision making to the UK team, which was allowed to make all the final decisions in the whole process for the campaign. The global team was in charge of design and communication brands, which they then send to their satellite teams. The Taiwanese team was able to succeed due to the fact they were able to adapt their advertising for their market. On the other hand, the London team designed everything and only allowed the Canada team to make below the line materials. This made it very tough for the Canada to pitch in any ideas about what they wanted to promote for their campaign for their own …show more content…
The problem with this was that the new teams had a limited amount of time and the strengths on the two teams differed. The team in Canada knew about consumer preferences in their market, while the team in London knew more about the product itself, and not much about how the market was faring.
During the rebuilding process, a number of the staff from Leo Burnett and OBC decided to step down from their position which caused for even more disconnect between the two companies. The fact that the campaign was not going as well as originally planned only made matter worse. The staff also left at the worst possible time, as in order to be able to recover the campaign in Canada, a lot of teamwork and coordination was needed. With the key staff members missing, it was hard for team members to communicate with each other and work well together without any true
...uality, the data showed a positive gain with each scenario. Therefore, there would be no reason to wait for the United States results to come back in order to move forward. Given that data has already been collected for the Canadian coffee market and that otherwise, Kraft would have to just put more money into more market research, it would be a waste of resources and time if Kraft did not launch their product at all, and therefore beneficial for them to launch Maxwell House and Nabob coffee pods simultaneously with the U.S. launch. Kraft Foods is one of the widest-known, successful brands in their industry, and expansion is one of the best methods for continued growth and development.
The strategy that CNS decided to use is the three-stage approach. Stage 1 is Explore/test concept. Stage two is the Establish the product, and stage three is Manage the product. Using the SWOT analysis, I will analyze their marketing approach as it pertains to entering international territory. The strengths are that breathe right has already shown that it could successfully market the product in North America and make it a success. They have proven that they can package the product to tailor it to the international market, which would allow then to penetrate the market and refine messages for the local market as spelled out in stage 2 of their strategy. They have the ability to identify potential partners in the local global markets. When they first entered the global market, they partner with 3M, who had a handle on the marketing practices of the global market. According to The Business Journal, they regained control of their ...
On the first board meeting, WRSX board decided not to take the market opportunity in China because of the intended strategy that was made in the strategic choices in order to create efficient local presence first . The client feedback suggests that it is too risky to develop presence in China's market. On the other hand, the feedback suggests that not entering Chinese market will lead to missed business opportunities in the country and with clients looking to create global campaigns there. By that time, the negative impact in entering Chinese market could be in terms of financial and business risk. However, the feedback suggests a positive impact for management of growth, client attraction and retention and leadership capability. The decision to create cultural change in New York, where WRSX already have an office, was taken in complementation to maintain the poor performance of the local agency in US.
Based on the information provided in the L’Oreal case, Yue Sai struggled to grow and capture additional sales in the high-end Chinese cosmetics sector. In the past, L’Oreal attempted to position Yue Sai in several different ways which can be viewed as detrimental to the company image, showing uncertainty as the company struggles to see which positioning strategy will stick. The most recent positioning presented in the case, which desires to “deliver Yue Sai’s longstanding brand promise that ‘Nobody knows Chinese skin better than Yue Sai’”, allows the highest probability of success for the company capitalizing on countless fresh trends in Chinese cosmetics (6). The positioning statement would reflect this new strategy: “For the modern Chinese woman Yue Sai offers a line of high-end cosmetics. Unlike other high-end cosmetics Yue Sai combines traditional Chinese medicine and sophisticated technology adapted to the unique skin type of Chinese women.” Yue Sai saw reasonable success and hope in the new Vital Essential line which utilized traditional Chinese medicine and, therefore, resulted in above average repeat purchases. Continuing to focus the strategy around traditional Chinese medicine should benefit Yue Sai considerably. Another suggested strategy would be to wholly reposition Yue Sai, however this is ill advised. As stated in the case, Yue Sai tried numerous different positioning strategies, which ultimately provided no clear path strategy. Repositioning would show uncertainty in the company, lowering brand value in the eyes of the consumer.

L’Oreal is the largest beauty company in the world and in the past 100 years that it has expanded, it has supplied to 130 countries with offices in 58 different countries. This global company is the number one premium cosmetic product in the world today and has taken the core and beauty of people’s everyday lives since 1907, the beginning of L’Oreal. The superior leadership of a guy named Eugene Schueller started this strategic company with basic products such as hair care and also the first man-made hair color product. Five years later you could find these products in Austria, Italy, and the Netherlands. In 1934 Eugene invented the first mass market of soap less shampoo and this led the success of L’Oreal in the country of Europe which soon recognized them as the leader in body care and hair coloring products. Finally soon after World War II L’Oreal moved into the United States and the company seemed to change. When L’Oreal expanded the competition was more involved and more growth was needed in order for the company to be more successful. With problems like this, the strategy and planning that has been applied in L’Oreal has been huge for the success of the company. L’Oreal realized they needed to expand in other fields of the beauty market and target markets in order to stay alive and successful. This would mean that L’Oreal would need to acquire other companies as part of their expansion and through this they have kept the constancy of the leading company with acquisitions of many small companies. Finally in the 1980s they started their globalization into new markets all around the globe by acquiring new companies that would form the cosmetics that we know today. Although the role of acquisitions has never been the main focus of the company, internal growth and strategy was the number one reason for L’Oreal becoming such a big name. The main strategy was to adopt new companies and expand it from within believing that the brand could be taken globally and benefit their overall brand portfolio. The main role of acquisitions was to increase and lengthen the internal growth rate. L’Oreal started acquiring companies from the beginning of their name. They started with the basics of their own brands such as L’Oreal Professional, L’Oreal Paris, Kerastase, and Club des Createurs de Beaute.
The transnational corporation Nestle Company founded in 1886 based in Vevey, Switzerland, sells its products in 189 countries and has manufacturing plants in 89 countries around the world, boasting an unmatched geographic presence. The company started off as an alternative to breastmilk and initially looked into other countries for an increase in global opportunities. It founded its first out of country offices in London in 1868, and due to the small size and inability of Switzerland to compensate growth manufacturing plants were built in both Britain and the United states in the late nineteenth century. A large portion of Nestlé’s globalization came in the 1900s which was when it first moved into the chocolate business after

BR was sold to Delta Foods in 1996 for US $2 billion. At this time, it was one of the largest fast-food chains in the world generating sales of US $6.8 billion. DF purchase of BR brought in a new cultural paradigm. DF is an individualistic, aggressive growth company with brands they believe are strong enough to support entry into new overseas markets without the need for local partnership. The DF strategy is one of direct acquisition and JV’s were not part of their strong suit. DF strategic implementation is based on hiring local managers directly or transferring seasoned managers from their soft drink and snack food divisions. The DF disdain for JVs is clearly reflected by their participation in only those JVs where local partnering was mandatory (e.g. China) to overcome regulatory barriers to entry. JVs had been the predominant strategy for BR which was unlike the DF outlook. Terralumen’s strategy was misaligned and out of sync with the DF strategy. This was unlike the complementarity that existed with BR’s strategy. This misalignment began to affect the JV relationship that had worked well with BR in the initial years. The failure of Terralumen and DF to recognize this fundamental cultural difference between their operational strategy styles i.e. Individualistic and Collectivism leads to their inability to proactively create steps for better alignment in the early period after acquisition, creating uncertainties and difficulties for both corporations. There is a lack of communication and virtually absence of trust between two new partners. DF appeared to be flexing its muscles in the relationship and using a more masculine approach compared to Terralumen’s more feminine approach. Both the corporations are strategically involved in a complex situation where they appear reluctant to address the issues at stake and move ahead together. The DF strategy of

Burger King delivers value to their customers through their products, prices, and place and promotion strategies - (“BK doesn’t just promise value, they actually deliver value”). Burger king has been in existence for 60 years and is growing rapidly in many other countries. Burger King delivers quality, great tasting food which satisfies ones need or wants and captures the value of customers even before the first purchase is made. Burger King has products very unique from other competitors such as KFC and McDonalds. The difference is that Burger King does not limit their customers in terms of what they eat. For example, when I spoke to a customer also big fan of Burger King, he mentioned that the sauces are left public for the customer to decide on which sauce to have rather than giving the customer one kind of sauce such as McDonalds and KFC. The cold beverage is also self-help service in which customers can help themselves to a bottomless drink. This way the customer feels free to choose what satisfies the need or want.
