Appendix. 21 Introduction. For the last several decades, Ifruitrop, based in Ivory Coast, has been a producer and exporter of tropical fruits. Using the effect of globalisation of taste and evolution of technologies, it exported its products in European and Middle Eastern markets. Until now it used an indirect channel of export, e.g. a middle man in foreign countries. However, it recently decided to internationalise through new channels. The stimulus to change the company’s strategy came from its CEO, who has found new opportunities in the European market. In addition, the home market is saturated and the company is reaching excess capacity, which cannot be sold through usual export channels nor on the home market. To assess whether or not they should “stay at home”...

...parties. Singapore is one of the countries that does not have an Apple Store, and as recommended in my last report, intensifying penetration into that market can generate more revenues and lead to better strategies being tested for when the market in China matures enough that entrance is viable. People in Singapore are not avid Apple consumers as the company does not have a presence in the country yet, and as far as the iPhone goes, there are options that suit the needs of the population interested in smart phones better. Marketing Export Marketing should be used in order to gain entry into the Singaporean market. Using the same strategies and marketing mix that were used in the United States and Europe will not allow Apple to gain any advantage in this market, much like what happened in Japan when the iPhone was introduced. Export marketing is defined as “using the product as a starting point and modifying it as needed to meet the preferences of the international target markets.” When Apple introduced the iPhone in Japan, it used most of the same strategies it used when introducing the product in the US: showing it off as...

...Marketing Plan for Budweiser 2012 Submitted by: Submitted to: August 17, 2012 Budweiser Executive Summary The current business environment for a piece of the beer industry market is very competitive. Breweries must compete against other breweries, both large and small to remain a viable player in the sale of their beer. Budweiser is a product produced by Anheuser-Busch, an American brewery founded in St. Louis in the mid 1800’s. The intention of the following marketing plan is to not only continue to add to the legacy of Budweiser, but to re-energize the consumer’s appetite for Budweiser and increase the market share of the product. The formula for Budweiser is over 130 years old. The recipe has a unique blend of barley malt, brewer’s rice, yeast, water, and hops. These same five ingredients are what still goes into Budweiser today. We will promote how after 130 years the tried and true tradition of these five ingredients are the building blocks that give Budweiser its uncompromised flavor. In addition to the five ingredients, the seven steps in brewing Budweiser remain the same today. The seven steps are milling, mashing, straining, the brewkettle, primary fermentation, beechwood aging, and finishing (Budweiser Anheuser-Busch). Using the beechwood aging process allows more interaction between the beer and the yeast. This is the unique formulation that has propelled Budweiser into the staple beer which...

...world, some fail after a few months and others continue to grow as the years pass by. What makes the company fail or grow is the way they plan out their market plans. The marketing plans have to be taken into deeply consideration and have to work with the company in order for them to do greatly. When the marketing plans succeed, so does the company. Marketing plan is when the marketer of the company comes up with an organized plan in which the company can reach their marketing objectives. There are two plans that come into play when working on the marketing plan. The first one is called the strategic marketing plan which is when the marketer puts out an outline based on the company’s abilities and introduces it to the rest of the company’s workers. The second plan is called the tactical marketing plan which is when things like the pricing, promotion, and etc. come to play (Kotler, & Keller, Marketing Management, 2009). One company has been around for a hundred years and would continue to be around for many more to come if they stay on the path they are on now. The name of the company is International Business Machines otherwise known as IBM. The International Business Machines makes and sells both computer hardware and software (Taft, D., 2011, pg. 1). Just knowing that IBM has been around for that many years proves that their market plan has worked for them and would continue to work. When the new technologies started to come out; Mills adapted to the new technologies and...

...* What is scenario planning? Under what conditions is it useful? How important do you think scenario planning is as a context for international marketing planning? Scenario planning is defined as strategic planning method that organization use to make flexible long term plans based on generating a number of “what if” situations and then options on how they might respond to those situations( Keeley, 2011). In other word scenario planning a method for learning about the future by understanding the nature and impact of the most uncertain and important driving forces affecting the business. It is strategy tool used to discover potential future environments in order to understand how today’s strategic decisions will have an impact on an organizations in times to come. The key elements in scenario planning are “creative thinking, imagination, an informal methodology and use of qualitative, subjective information” scenario planning does not predict the future; rather it considers the complete scope of likely forces that might have impact on an organization. These may be intellectual, natural, social, political, economic, cultural or technological. Scenario planning is an important strategic tool for the business. Marketers can make choices through the scenario planning. The options can be screened by matching them to possible scenarios. Scenario planning provides tools for an organization to respond critical changes. It provides methods for understanding...

The marketer needs basic information to evaluate a country market’s potential, identify problems that would eliminate a country from further consideration, identify aspects of the country’s environment that need further study, evaluate the components of the marketing mix for possible adaptation, and develop a strategic marketing plan. One further use of the information collected in the preliminary analysis is as a basis for a country notebook. Many companies, large and small, have a country notebook for each country in which they do business. The country notebook contains information a marketer should be aware of when making decisions involving a specific country market. As new information is collected, the country notebook is continually updated by the country or product manager. Whenever a marketing decision is made involving a country, the country notebook is the first database consulted. New-product introductions, changes in advertising programs, and other marketing program decisions begin with the country notebook. It also serves as a quick...
