...Andrew Jun Strategic Marketing 1/28/13 Marketing Strategy Report Chipotle’s expansion to China is fueled by a potentially large customer base stemming from a high urban population. Currently, there exists no “authentic” Mexican-Hispanic cuisine in China’s largest cities (Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou), and much of the population has never tasted Mexican food. We believe the opportunity to commercialize Chipotle in China will lead to a large success because we understand that most consumers want to experience different things, and our menu provides just that. Virtually all cuisine is Chinese, so many consumers will take a natural interest in our restaurants. This curiosity will serve as our initial marketing strategy to bring in customers. Needs: food, beverages, dining Wants: special cuisine that is distinctive from most/all other restaurants Demands: Quality food, service, and buying power To ensure Chipotle’s future in China, our marketing strategy will be customer driven and include geographic, demographic and psychographic segmentation. To explain further, China’s high urban populations will be our target markets because there will be more acceptance and willingness to dine at a Chipotle-style restaurant. Outside expansion will not be viable for Chipotle, so we will work specifically in those geographic locations. Initially, we will target the younger population, ages 10 to 35 because this age group will not oppose traditional Chinese cuisine and will be willing...

Consequently, it downsized and incurred significant losses in most of the 1980s. This entity produces two primary products including grinding media and carbon wire rod, one being recognized in the industry for its durability while the later being non profitable and only covering some of its fixed costs through volume. 2.0 What’s wrong with the old system? (a) Inconsistency with organization’s strategy The Objective of Armco Inc. is maximizing profits and sustaining its position among the leaders in the US manufacturing steel industry. To achieve this objective, Armco has adopted a cost leadership strategy with a broad appeal and has managed to grow bigger through joint ventures and expansion of its product lines in implementing its strategy. However, the strategy adopted by the Kansas City Works is based on differentiation due to its cost disadvantages such as union labor costs and inefficient plant infrastructure.Union labor costs in Kansas City were higher than those of some of its nonunion competitors, particularly those located in the Southeastern U.S. and non-U.S. locations. The Works had an inefficient plant infrastructure because the plant was designed to accommodate five times as many employees as were currently working there.
