2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

19.1 Global Marketing Today

Today, the world is shrinking rapidly with the advent of faster


communication, transportation, and financial flows.

Products developed in one are finding enthusiastic acceptance in


other countries.

Since 1990, the number of multinational corporations in the world


has grown from 30,000 to more than 63,000.

Between 2000 and 2008, total world trade grew by more than 7
percent annually, while global gross domestic product has grown at
only about 3 percent annually.

2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

19.1 Global Marketing Today

Foreign firms are expanding aggressively into new international


markets, and home markets are no longer as rich in opportunity.
Few industries are now safe from foreign competition.

Many American companies have now


made the world their market.

19.1 Global Marketing Today

The Global Firm


A

global firm is one that, by operating in more than one country,


gains marketing, production, R&D, and financial advantages that are
not available to purely domestic competitors.
The

global company sees the world as one market.

It

minimizes the importance of national boundaries and develops


global brands.

10 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

19.1 Global Marketing Today

Globalization
Almost every company,
large or small, is touched
in some way by global
competition. Today,
companies are also buying
more supplies and
components abroad.

Many American companies have now made the world their market.
11 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

19.1 Global Marketing Today

Globalization in Marketing: Key Questions


The rapid move towards globalization means that all companies will
have to answer basic questions:
a)
b)
c)
d)

What market position should we try to establish in our country,


in our economic region, and globally?
Who will our global competitors be and what are their
strategies and resources?
Where should we produce or source our products?
What strategic alliances should we form with other firms
around the world?

17 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

19.2 Looking at the Global Marketing Environment

The International Trade System


Tariffs

are taxes on certain imported products designed to raise revenue


or to protect domestic firms.
Quotas are limits on the amount of foreign imports that a country will
accept in certain product categories.
The purpose of a quota is to conserve on foreign exchange and to protect
local industry and employment.
Exchange controls are limits on the amount of foreign exchange and the
exchange rate against other currencies.
Nontariff trade barriers are such things as biases against U.S. company
bids, restrictive product standards, or excessive host-country regulations.

18 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

19.2 Looking at the Global Marketing Environment

Types of industrial structures


The four types of industrial structures are as follows:
I.Subsistence

economies: The vast majority of people engage in simple


agriculture. They consume most of their output and barter the rest for
simple goods and services. They offer few market opportunities.
II.Raw material exporting economies: These economies are rich in one
or more natural resources but poor in other ways. These countries are
good markets for large equipment, tools and supplies, and trucks.

19 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

19.2 Looking at the Global Marketing Environment

Types of industrial structures


III.Emerging

economies: In an emerging economy, fast growth in


manufacturing results in rapid overall economic growth. The country
needs more imports of raw textile materials, steel, and heavy
machinery, and fewer imports of finished textiles, paper products, and
automobiles.
IV.Industrial

economies: Major exporters of manufactured goods,


services, and investment funds. They trade goods among themselves
and also export them to other types of economies for raw materials
and semifinished goods.

21 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

19.2 Looking at the Global Marketing Environment

The World Trade Organization and GATT

The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade


(GATT) promotes world trade by reducing tariffs
in other international trade barriers. The WTO
overseas GATT, imposes trade sanctions, and
mediates global disputes.

22 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

19.2 Looking at the Global Marketing Environment

Regional Free Trade Zones


Free trade zones or economic communities are groups of nations
organized to work toward common goals in the regulation of
international trade.

The European union represents one of the


worlds single largest markets. Its current
member countries contain more than half a
billion consumers and account for 20 percent
of the worlds exports.

23 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

19.2 Looking at the Global Marketing Environment

ASEAN

ASEAN is a geo-political and economic


organization of 10 countries in Southeast Asia. It
aims to accelerate economic growth, social
progress and cultural development, and to
promote regional peace and stability.

Raw material exporting countries

Much of Saudi Arabias


economic revenue comes
from exporting oil.
30 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

19.2 Looking at the Global Marketing Environment

Income Distribution
Industrialized

nations may have low-, medium-, and high-income

households.
Countries

with subsistence economies may consist mostly of


households with very low family incomes.
Still

other countries may have households with only either very low or
very high incomes.
Even

poor or developing economies may be attractive markets for all


kinds of goods.
31 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

19.2 Looking at the Global Marketing Environment

Targeting at the mass lower income markets

In India, Fords $7,700 Figo


targets low to middle-income
consumers who want to move
off their motorbikes.

32 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

19.2 Looking at the Global Marketing Environment

Countertrade

33 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

19.2 Looking at the Global Marketing Environment

Countertrade
Besides

currency limits, a changing exchange rate also creates high


risks for the seller.
Most

international trade involves cash transactions.

Yet

many nations have too little hard currency to pay for their
purchases from other countries.
They

may want to pay with other items instead of cash, which has led
to a growing practice called countertrade.

34 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

19.2 Looking at the Global Marketing Environment

Countertrade

Countertrade can take place as


barter, where goods or services
are exchanged directly. For
example, Vietnam exchanged
rice for fertilizer and coconuts
from the Philippines.
35 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

19.2 Looking at the Global Marketing Environment

Political/Legal Environment

36 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

19.2 Looking at the Global Marketing Environment

Political-Legal Environment
Nations

differ greatly in their political-legal environments. In


considering whether to do business in a given country, a company
should consider factors such as the countrys attitudes toward
international buying, government bureaucracy, political stability, and
monetary regulations.
Some

nations are very receptive to foreign firms; others are less


accommodating.

37 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

19.2 Looking at the Global Marketing Environment

Political-Legal Environment
Companies

must consider a countrys monetary regulations. Sellers


want to take their profits in a currency of value to them.
Ideally,

the buyer can pay in the sellers currency or in other world


currencies. In addition to currency limits, a changing exchange rate
also creates high risks for the seller.

38 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

19.2 Looking at the Global Marketing Environment

Cultural Environment

39 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

19.2 Looking at the Global Marketing Environment

Cultural Environment
Each

country has its own folkways, norms, and taboos.

When

designing global marketing strategies, companies must


understand how culture affects consumer reactions in each of its world
markets.
In

turn, they must also understand how their strategies affect local
cultures

Culture

19.2 Looking at the Global Marketing Environment

The Impact of Culture on Marketing Strategy


Sellers

must understand the ways that consumers in different


countries think about and use certain products before planning a
marketing program.
Companies

that ignore cultural norms and differences can make some


very expensive and embarrassing mistakes

42 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

19.2 Looking at the Global Marketing Environment

Cultural blunders in international marketing

Overlooking cultural differences


can result in embarrassing
mistakes. China imposed a
nationwide ban on this
blasphemous kung futhemed
ad campaign featuring LeBron
James crushing a number of
culturally revered Chinese
figures.
43 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

19.2 Looking at the Global Marketing Environment

Business Norms and Behaviors


Business norms and behavior also vary from country to country. Here
are some examples:
American

executives like to get right down to business and engage in


fast and tough face-to-face bargaining. However, Japanese and other
Asian businesspeople often find this behavior offensive. They prefer to
start with polite conversation, and they rarely say no in face-to-face
conversations.

44 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

19.2 Looking at the Global Marketing Environment

Business Norms and Behaviors


Asians

tend to sit or stand very close to one another when they queue or
talk businessin fact, almost nose-to-nose. The Asian business executive
tends to move closer as the American and Australian keep backing away.
Both may end up being offended. Asian business executives need to be
briefed on these kinds of factors before conducting business in another
country.
Chinese

businessmen like to hold a welcome banquet, especially for


major overseas visitors, prior to a business meeting discussion. They
believe it creates a good atmosphere for the discussion in the following
meeting.
45 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

19.2 Looking at the Global Marketing Environment

The Impact of Marketing Strategy on Cultures


Social

critics contend that large American multinationals such as


McDonalds, Coca-Cola, Starbucks, Nike, Microsoft, Disney, and MTV
are Americanizing the worlds cultures.
Critics

worry that, under such McDomination, countries around the


globe are losing their individual cultural identities.
Such

concerns have sometimes led to a backlash against American


globalization.

46 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

19.2 Looking at the Global Marketing Environment

Americanization

Social critics contend that large American


multinationals arent just globalizing their
brands, they are Americanizing the worlds
cultures. In China, most people never drank
coffee before Starbucks entered the market.

47 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

19.2 Looking at the Global Marketing Environment

The need for adaptation


Therefore, the basic principle for companies to succeed abroad is to
adapt to local cultural values and traditions rather than trying to force
their own.

48 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

19.2 Looking at the Global Marketing Environment

Adaptation in international marketing

he consistent success of Ocean Park may be due


to its adoption of a blend of both Chinese and
Western cultures. Disneyland Hong Kong has had
trouble competing with its more established local
rival, and visitor attendance fell by 20 percent in
the parks second year.

Customers might be expanding abroad

53 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

19.3 Deciding Whether to Go Global

Going Global
Not all companies need to venture into international markets to
survive.
Any of several factors might draw a company into the international
arena.
a) Global competitors might attack the companys home market by
offering better products or lower prices.
b) The company might want to counterattack these competitors in their
home markets to tie up their resources.
c) The companys customers might be expanding abroad and require
international servicing.
d) International markets might simply provide better opportunities for
growth.
54 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

56 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

19.3 Deciding Whether to Go Global

Risks in Global Marketing


Before going abroad, the company must weigh several risks and answer
many questions about its ability to operate globally.
a) Can

it learn to understand the preferences and buyer behavior of


consumers in other countries?
b) Can it offer competitively attractive products?
c) Will it be able to adapt to other countries business cultures and deal
effectively with foreign nationals?
d) Do the companys managers have the necessary international
experience?
e) Has management considered the impact of regulations and the political
environments of other countries?

67 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

19.5 Deciding How to Enter the Market

Exporting

Exporting is the simplest way to enter a foreign market.


Indirect exporting is working through independent international
marketing intermediaries.
Indirect exporting involves less investment and less risk.
Direct exporting is where the company handles their own exports.
The investment and risk are somewhat greater in this strategy, but
so is the potential return.

Joint Venture

69 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

19.5 Deciding How to Enter the Market

Joint Venture

Joint Venturing is joining with foreign companies to produce or


market products or services.

There are four types of joint ventures:


A. Licensing
B. Contract manufacturing
C. Management contracting
D.Joint ownership

70 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

19.5 Deciding How to Enter the Market

A.

Licensing

Licensing is a simple way for a manufacturer to enter


international marketing.

The company enters into an agreement with a licensee in the


foreign market.

For a fee or royalty, the licensee buys the right to use the
companys manufacturing process, trademark, patent, trade
secret, or other item of value.

71 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

Licensing

In Japan, the Morinaga Milk Company produces


Sunkist fruit juices, drinks, and dessert items.
72 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

19.5 Deciding How to Enter the Market

B. Contract Manufacturing

Contract manufacturing occurs when the company contracts


with manufacturers in the foreign market to produce its product or
provide its service.
The drawbacks are:
Decreased control over the manufacturing process
Loss of potential profits on manufacturing
The benefits are:
The chance to start faster, with less risk
The later opportunity either to form a partnership with or to buy
out the local manufacturer

73 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

19.5 Deciding How to Enter the Market

C. Management Contracting

Management contracting takes place when the domestic firm


supplies management know-how to a foreign company that
supplies the capital.

This is a lowrisk method of getting into a foreign market, and it


yields income from the beginning.

The arrangement is not sensible if the company can put its


management talent to better uses or if it can make greater profits
by undertaking the whole venture.

74 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

19.5 Deciding How to Enter the Market

D. Joint Ownership

Joint Ownership ventures consist of one company joining forces


with foreign investors to create a local business in which they
share joint ownership and control.
A company may buy an interest in a local firm, or the two parties
may form a new business venture.
Joint ownership may be needed for economic or political reasons.
Joint ownership has drawbacks:
The partners may disagree over policies.
Whereas U.S. firms emphasize the role of marketing, local
investors may rely on selling.

Direct Investment

77 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

19.5 Deciding How to Enter the Market

Direct Investment

Direct Investment is the development of foreign based assembly


or manufacturing facilities.

Advantages:
Lower costs in the form of cheaper labor or raw materials,
foreign government investment incentives, and freight savings.
The firm may improve its image in the host country.
Development of a deeper relationship with government,
customers, local suppliers, and distributors.
The firm keeps full control over the investment.

78 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

19.5 Deciding How to Enter the Market

Direct Investment

The main disadvantage of direct investment is that the firm faces


many risks including:
Restricted or devalued currencies
Falling markets
Government changes

Deciding on the Global Marketing Program

Standardized global marketing is using largely the same marketing


strategy approaches and marketing mix worldwide.
Adapted global marketing is adjusting the marketing strategy and
mix elements to each target market, bearing more costs but hoping for
a larger market share and return.
Some global marketers believe that technology is making the world a
smaller place and that consumer needs around the world are becoming
more similar.
This paves the way for global brands and standardized global
marketing. Global branding and standardization, in turn, result in
greater brand power and reduced costs from economies of scale.

83 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

19.6 Deciding on the Global Marketing Program

Marketing Mix Adaptation


Because cultural differences are hard to change, most marketers
adapt their products, prices, channels, and promotions to fit
consumer desires in each country

In India, McDonalds serves chicken, fish, and


vegetable burgers, and the Maharaja Mactwo
all-chicken patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese,
pickles, onions, on a sesame-seed bun.

Product Strategies in International Marketing

Five strategies exist that allow for adapting product and marketing
communication strategies to a global market (Figure 19.3).

Straight product extension means marketing a product in a foreign


market without any change.

Product adaptation involves changing the product to meet local


conditions or wants.

Product invention consists of creating something new to meet the


needs of consumers in a given country.

Promotion Strategies in International Marketing

Companies can either:


1. Adopt the same communications strategy they use in the home
market
2. Change it for each local market
Advertising themes are changed sometimes to avoid taboos in other
countries. (See Real Marketing 19.3)
Communication adaptation is fully adapting their advertising
messages to local markets.
Media also needs to be adapted internationally because media
availability and regulations vary from country to country.

Impact of color in marketing

Colors are changed sometimes


to avoid taboos in other
countries. Red is a lucky color in
China, and is commonly used in
many aspects of Chinese life

Price

94 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

19.6 Deciding on the Global Marketing Program

Pricing Strategy in International Marketing

Regardless of how companies go about pricing their products, their


foreign prices probably will be higher than their domestic prices for
comparable products.
It is a price escalation problem. It must add the cost of transportation,
tariffs, importer margin, wholesaler margin, and retailer margin to its
factory price.
To overcome this problem when selling to less-affluent consumers in
developing countries, many companies make simpler or smaller
versions of their products that can be sold at lower prices.
Dumping occurs when a company either charges less than its costs or
less than it charges in its home market.

95 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

19.6 Deciding on the Global Marketing Program

International Pricing

Recent economic and technological forces have had an impact on


global pricing.
For example, in the European Union, the transition to the euro is
reducing the amount of price differentiation.
As consumers recognize price differentiation by country, companies
are being forced to harmonize prices throughout the countries that
have adopted the single currency.
Companies and marketers that offer the most unique or necessary
products or services will be least affected by such price
transparency.

96 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

19.6 Deciding on the Global Marketing Program

International Pricing

Sixteen European union countries have


adopted the euro as a common
currency, creating pricing
transparency and forcing companies
to harmonize their prices throughout
Europe.
97 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

19.6 Deciding on the Global Marketing Program

Impact of the Internet on Pricing in Global Markets

The Internet is making global price differences more obvious.


When firms sell their wares over the Internet, customers can see
how much products sell for in different countries.
This is forcing companies toward more standardized international
pricing.

Distribution Channel Strategies in International Marketing

The whole-channel view takes into account the entire global


supply chain and marketing channel. It recognizes that to compete
well internationally, the company must effectively design and
manage an entire global value delivery network.

Figure 19.4 shows the two major links between the seller and the
final buyer.

Channels Between and Within Nations

Channels between nations moves company products from points of


production to the borders of countries within which they are sold.

Channels within nations moves the products from their market


entry points to the final consumers.
