13) What is "global marketing" and how does it differ from "regular marketing"? Give examples
of at least one major corporation that explains these differences.
Answer: Marketing is an organizational function and a set of processes for creating,
communicating, and delivering value to customers. An organization that engages in global
marketing focuses its resources and competencies on global market opportunities and threats. A
fundamental difference between "regular marketing" and "global marketing" is the scope of
activities. A company that engages in global marketing conducts important business activities
outside the home-country market. For example, as Walmart expands into Guatemala and other
Central America countries, it is implementing a market development strategy.

14) Why do some of the world's biggest, most successful companies stumble while pursuing
global opportunities? Give examples in support of your answer.
Answer: Store locations, pricing, customer preferences, convenience, and unfamiliarity can
cause successful companies to fail or not perform well in global markets. Walmart's exit from the
German market was due to the fact that German shoppers could find lower prices at "hard
discounters" such as Aldi and Lidl. UK-based Tesco's attempts to enter the US market with its
Fresh & Easy stores failed, in part, because US consumers were unfamiliar with the private-label
goods that made up much of the merchandise stock. American "cheap chic" retailer Target
terminated in Canada due to missteps in store location and pricing.

global markets. Globalization presents companies with unprecedented opportunities as well as

managers to maintain a well-defined strategic focus. Globalization provides companies with
opportunities to develop new products, get new ideas, develop markets, expand brand

management?
Answer: GMS has three dimensions that pertain to marketing management. First, "concentration
of marketing activities" such as promotional campaigns or pricing decisions is performed in one
or a few country locations. The second, "coordination of marketing activities," refers to the
extent to which marketing activities related to the marketing mix are planned and executed
interdependently around the globe. Finally, "integration of competitive moves" is the extent to
which a firm's competitive marketing tactics in different parts of the world are interdependent. In
essence, GMS should enhance the firm's performance on a worldwide basis.

51) Why is it important for a firm to have global marketing strategy?
Answer: A firm's global marketing strategy (GMS) can enhance its worldwide performance. The
GMS addresses several issues. First is the nature of the marketing program in terms of the
balance between a standardized (extension) approach to the marketing mix elements and a
localized (adaptation) approach that is responsive to country or regional differences. Second is
the concentration of marketing activities in a few countries or the dispersal of such activities
across many countries. Companies that engage in global marketing can also engage in
coordination of marketing activities. Finally, a firm's GMS addresses the issue of global market
participation.

52) The Coca-Cola Company has convincingly demonstrated that the ability to think globally
and act locally can be a source of competitive advantage. Justify this statement using examples.
Answer: Coke achieved success in Japan by spending a great deal of time and money to become
an insider. The company built a complete local infrastructure with its sales force and vending
machine operations. Coke's success in Japan is a function of its ability to achieve "global
localization," being as much of an insider as a local company but still reaping the benefits of
worldwide operations. The company is adept at adapting sales promotion, distribution, and
customer service efforts to local needs. Coke has become one of the brands that have spent time
and money getting this experience in unknown territories.

53) Using McDonald's as an example, show how effective global marketing can be successfully
achieved.
Answer: The particular approach to global marketing that a company adopts will depend on
industry conditions and its source or sources of competitive advantage. McDonald's standardized
product is Big Mac which is localized in various countries, such as McAloo Tikka Burger in
India. Similar products with local slang names were used adapting to tastes in different countries.
For promotion the standardized slogan "I'm lovin' it" is used whereas individual promotion is
used in different countries. Freestanding restaurants are a standardized version, which is
localized in several countries by having kiosks or home delivery. Similarly, the average price of
Big Mac is used as a standard which is localized on the basis of currency fluctuation and
affordability.

54) When a global company establishes a benchmark in quality, competitors must quickly make
their own improvements and come up to par. Justify the statement giving examples.
Answer: Starting in the 1960s, U.S. auto manufacturers saw their market erode as Japanese
carmakers built strong reputations based on their products' quality and durability. In turn the U.S.
companies are making great strides in quality. A new threat is being faced due to the introduction
of Tesla's all-electric cars which have frequently been at or near the top of the quality and safety
rankings for several years. Thus the global companies can establish a benchmark when other
companies try to compete.
