Introduction
12
• Confronted with increasing global competition for
expanding markets, multinational companies are
changing their marketing strategies and altering
their organizational structures
• Comprehensive decisions must be made regarding
key strategic choices, such as standardization vs.
adaptation, concentration vs. dispersion, and
integration vs. independence
• The flexibility of a smaller company may enable it to
reflect the demands of global markets and redefine
its programs more quickly than larger
multinationals

Global Perspective:
The British Sell another Treasure
• Grandiose mergers more often destroy brands
than strengthen them, particularly when those
brands are such delicate confections as chocolate
bars and gooey eggs
• Kraft (US) proposed to buy Cadbury (Britain)for
$17 billion in September 2009; Kraft finally
bought Cadbury in January 2010 for some $19
billion in cash and stock
• Studies have shown that three-quarters of mergers
fail to produce any benefits of shareholders and
more than half actually destroy share value

Global Marketing
Management (2 of 2)
12
• The trend back toward localization
– Caused by the new efficiencies of customization
– Made possible by the Internet
– Increasingly flexible manufacturing processes
• From the marketing perspective customization is
always best
• Global markets continue to homogenize and
diversify simultaneously
– Best companies will avoid trap of focusing on
country as the primary segmentation variable

powdered milk, instant coffee, chocolate, soups, and
mineral water

Company
Objectives and Resources

evaluation, including existing commitments,
relative to the parent company’s objectives and
resources
• Defining objectives clarifies the orientation of
the domestic and international divisions,
permitting consistent policies
Roy Philip
12-11
International Commitment
12
• Commitment in terms of
– Dollars to be invested
– Personnel for managing the international
organization
– Determination to stay in the market long enough
to realize a return in investments
• The degree of commitment to an international
marketing cause reflects the extend to a
company’s involvement

Alternative Market-Entry
Strategies (2 of 2)
12
• Companies most often begin with modest export
involvement
• A company has four different modes of foreign
market entry
–
–
–
–
Exporting
Contractual agreements
Strategic international alliances
Direct foreign investments
Roy Philip
12-17
Exporting (1 of 2)
12
• Exporting accounts for some 10% of global
activity
• Direct exporting – the company sells to a
customer in another country
• Indirect exporting – the company sells to a buyer
(importer or distribution) in the home country,
who in turn exports the product
Roy Philip
12-18
Exporting (2 of 2)
12
• The Internet
– Initially, Internet marketing focused on domestic
sales
– A surprisingly large number of companies started
receiving orders from customers in other countries,
• Resulting in the concept of international Internet
marketing (IIM)
• Direct sales
– Particularly for high technology and big ticket
industrial products
Roy Philip
12-19
Contractual Agreement
(1 of 2)
12
• Contractual agreements
– Long-term,
– Nonequity association between a company and
another in a foreign market
• Licensing
– A means of establishing a foothold in foreign markets
without large capital outlays
– A favorite strategy for small and medium-sized
companies
– Legitimate means of capitalizing on intellectual
property in a foreign market
Roy Philip
12-20
Contractual Agreement
(2 of 2)
12
• Franchising
– Franchiser provides a standard package of products,
systems, and management services
– Franchise provides market knowledge, capital, and
personal involvement in management
– Expected to be the fastest-growing market-entry
strategy
• Two types of franchise agreements
– Master franchise
• Gives the franchisee the rights to a specific area with
the authority to sell or establish subfranchises
– Licensing
Roy Philip
12-21
Strategic International
Alliances (1 of 4)
12
• A strategic international alliance (SIA)
– A business relationship established by two or more
companies to cooperate out of mutual need
– To share risk in achieving a common objective
• SIAs are sought as a way to shore up weaknesses and
increase competitive strengths
• Firms enter SIAs for several reasons
–
–
–
–
–
–
Opportunities for rapid expansion into new markets
Access to new technology
More efficient production and innovation
Reduced marketing costs
Strategic competitive moves
Access to additional sources of products and capital
Roy Philip
12-22
Building Strategic Alliances
12
Exhibit 12.3
Roy Philip
12-23
Strategic International
Alliances (2 of 4)
12
• Many companies entering SIAs
– To be in strategic position to be competitive
– To benefit from the expected growth in the single
European market
• International joint ventures (IJVs)
– A partnership of two or more participating
companies that have joined forces to create a separate
legal entity
Roy Philip
12-24
Strategic International
Alliances (3 of 4)
12
• Four characteristics define joint ventures:
– JVs are established, separate, legal entities
– The acknowledged intent by the partners to share
in the management
of the JV
– There are partnerships between legally
incorporated entities such as companies,
chartered organizations, or governments, and not
between individuals
– Equity positions are held by each of the partners
Roy Philip
12-25
Strategic International
Alliances (4 of 4)
12
• Consortia
– Similar to joint ventures and could be classified as
such except for two unique characteristics
• Typically involve a large number of
participants
• Frequently operate in a country or market in
which none of the participants
is currently active
– Consortia are developed to pool financial and
managerial resources and to lessen risks
Roy Philip
12-26
Direct Foreign Investment
12
• Factors that influence the structure and
performance of direct investments
– Timing
– The growing complexity and contingencies of
contracts
– Transaction cost structures
– Technology transfer
– Degree of product differentiation
– The previous experiences and cultural diversity of
acquired firms
– Advertising and reputation barriers
Roy Philip
12-27
Organizing for
Global Competition
12
• Devising a standard organizational structure is difficult
– Because organizations need to reflect a wide range of companyspecific characteristics
• Companies are usually structured around one of three
alternatives
– Global product divisions responsible for product sales
throughout world
– Geographical divisions responsible for all products and functions
within a given geographical area
– A matrix organization consisting of either of these arrangements
• With centralized sales and marketing run by a centralized
functional staff, or a combination of area operations and
global product management

and Functional Approaches

Locus of decision
12
• Considerations of where decisions will be made,
by whom, and by which method constitute a
major element of organizational strategy
–
–
–
–
–
Corporate headquarters
International headquarters
Regional levels
National levels
Local levels
• Tactical decisions normally should be made at
lowest possible level
Roy Philip
12-30
Centralized Versus
Decentralized Organizations
12
• Most organizational patterns of multinational
firms fit into one of three categories
– Centralized
– Regionalized
– Decentralized
• No single traditional organizational plan is
adequate for today’s global enterprise
– Seeking to combine the economies of scale of a
global company with the flexibility and marketing
knowledge of a local company
Roy Philip
12-31
Summary (1 of 2)
12
• To keep abreast of the competition and maintain
a viable position for increasingly competitive
markets, a global perspective is necessary
• Cost containment, customer satisfaction, and a
greater number of players mean that every
opportunity to refine international business
practices must be examined in light of company
goals
Roy Philip
12-32
