Global Markets
The two meals that will be analyzed in this paper are breakfast and lunch meals. The breakfast comprised of hot coffee with milk and sugar alongside hotcakes. The lunch meal has chicken pie, French fries and a cold coca-cola. The origin of the coffee beans that was used to make the coffee is Latin America, the milk is from the farms in Texas, the sugar used originated from Colombia and the flour from which the hotcakes were made originated from Japan. For the lunch, the chicken came from the local poultry farmers in Texas, the French fries were also from the Texas farms and the coca-cola is bottled locally.
The products were purchased from various outlets with the breakfast having made it from coffee sourced at Wal-Mart alongside the hotcakes and the lunch I bought the entire package from the McDonald fast food.

A good market segmentation can reduce operational costs by efficiently allocating the resources to the most suitable segments, while taking under careful consideration the differences across different cultures (Hofstede et.al., 1999). The main alternative to this pricing strategy is by establishing the prices according to the local buying power. However, the customers from those countries where the company adopts a higher price may feel that this strategy is not very fare to them. Finally, the last approach is probably the one that fits better the current manufacturing global market trends. Thus, in those countries where is cheap to produce, the products will have a low price and vice-versa.

Global markets can have a significant impact on strategy. With globalization, there are more opportunities than ever before for firms to sell products and services around the world. Whereas in the past strategy might have been developed for local areas or at best regional areas, firms today must take into account the entire world. De Brentani (2010) notes that this can have a significant effect of product development. Global firms now must think about how well a new product idea will translate to foreign markets. This results in changes to the way companies approach innovation, as they must be careful with their products and branding to ensure the broadest appeal possible.
Global markets also mean the opportunity to tap into global resources. International markets are not just a source of revenue but a source of ideas as well. For example, innovation derived from international operations can be applied around over the…...

Global Market Research
The multifaceted nature of global market research makes the diverse nature of business strategies' analytics, intelligence and market data needs accomplishable with significant accuracy and insight. The use of a diverse set of tools can just as effectively define in which location and with what specific menu items a U.S.-based retail franchise needs to combine to succeed in Brazil for example. Global market research strategies can also define the optimal series of decisions for changing the packaging of their flagship packaged product, Macaroni and Cheese in Asian nations. Online learning companies including many traditional colleges and universities are using global market research techniques to better understand how they can attract more graduate students for MBA programs specifically designed for potential students located in India.

The third position means stepping outside the situation and seeing issues from the point-of-view of a third party. NLP reminds us that people receive information in various sensory channels: the visual, the auditory, the kinaesthetic (perception of movement of effort) and the digital mathematical or reasoned thinking (Taylor, 2000). The idea being that people use all of these modes, but may have a preferred mode.
Ethnographic approach: this takes its cue from observing how people behave in more natural settings, rather than placing the emphasis on collecting information in a research setting. So, the commercial ethnographic analyst will place considerable importance on fully understanding the marketing context in which an individual is playing out their behaviour and expressing their attitudes (Weick, 1979). The ethnographic school of data analysis has a long tradition in social research, and is now popular again with commercial market researchers. Although the commercial application of ethnography…...

Environmental challenges associated with the transition to a global company
The implementation of the global markets is a lucrative field that desires considerable attention within the transitional phases of a business. The global strategies and avenues of handling businesses are central to the future existence and survival in the market. Many local companies have been in the market for a period but have not had the chance of being the real players in their respective industries. This creates an opportunity in the management and implementation of the transition phases of businesses in their production avenues. The global market is the only place all the other avenues of production have to be regulated concerning the clients and the company as a whole (Thompson, 2001).
The implementation process will consider the goal of capitalizing the market even with the existing environmental challenges. The innate goal of the global entry…...

In terms of embracing change, the best example is probably the constant technological advances and development which any organization must be ready to integrate in its capacity. New technologies will often ease communication within the company and create the premises for better reaction to the market and to increased efficiency and work productivity.
However, bringing about change is often what makes the difference today between leaders and followers. A leader company will be able to create a market, to create a new product and to generally be innovative and bring about a novelty in things which will help it hold a significant competitive advantage. This will bring not only increased profits, but the capacity to develop new markets and create a bigger market share.
On the other hand, going back to the numerous changes that often occur on the market, we need to emphasize the importance of being flexible and being…...

Starbucks Corporation
Overview of the Situation
Starbucks Corporation is one of the most famous worldwide brands. The company's success on the American market has determined Starbucks' managers to expand the activity in numerous countries.

The company faces strong opposition in addressing certain markets from anti-globalization activists. It is important that Starbucks develops strategies that can reduce the effects of their protests.

It is estimated that 590 billion cigarettes are smoke per year in the MENA region and growing by 2% annually, thus making this area one of the few growing markets for tobacco in the world (MENA pp).
Turkey is the largest exporter of oriental and semi-oriental leaf in the world, and although there was a rise in production in 2004 that stabilized the country's tobacco economy, the European Union plans for reforming tobacco subsidies for 2006 and the potential sale of Tekel, the tobacco monopoly, may have a destabilizing effect and lead to a rise in pricing (MENA pp).
Although Dubek has dominated the cigarette market in Israel and has a distribution network of 12,000 retailers nationwide, its share of cigarette sales has been affected by a rise in popularity of foreign brands (MENA pp). In 2003, Philip Morris became the leading player in sales of tobacco with its volume share…...

Another major problem seen in this case is the issue that the majority of mangers within Samsung did not view marketing as an important key tool in the effort to fulfill the company's global strategies. However, this was slowly changed as a new marketing system was put into place within the company. Yet, this strategy took several years to fully infiltrate the minds of the managers in Samsung, who were only convinced after being shown real results from the new marketing strategy, and the lack of faith in this new marketing system proved how much work would be needed to finally internalize it.
These problems have plagued Samsung's goal of catching up with major competitors such as Sony. They are not the only issues by far; however, the issues of remaining out of the software industry as well as the hardship faced at the inception of adopting new marketing strategies…...

competitive and global market, it is essential that companies have a means of continually making improvements to their products and services. This is called the total improvement process or quality management system (QMS). A QMS can take a variety of forms in order to consistently meet customer requirements. A QMS offers a number of benefits to an organization: enhanced customer satisfaction and confidence and improved market reputation and market share (Harrington, 1995, p.173).
In order to produce a product or service, a company relies on the materials and supplies from a number of vendors. The vendors must meet the same stringent criteria as the company as a whole to meet the customer requirements. It is very difficult for vendors to have different criteria for each company to which they sell. As a result, a group of professionals in the quality field realized that it would be much better if the…...

Penetrate Global Markets
Global marketing in today's world depends upon a mix of technological and cultural understanding as Spillan (2012) points out: the "reach of the Internet to unknown places" and the "social environments that exist in global regional market segments" help to drive the global economy and the markets that exist within it. Therefore, comprehending how the Internet and various social media outlets intersect and interact with social environments, especially in developing worlds, is supremely important in assessing one's role in the global market strategy. This is essentially also the point of Luca Lindner (2015), president of McCann Worldgroup and author of "Why Global Marketing Must Move Beyond Cultural Stereotypes and Go Deep." When Lindner advises that marketers "go deep," he means that marketers must tap into the "local" economy and culture of the environment they seek to reach: after all, the trend in recent years is a rise…...

Wal-Mart's challenges in the Global market
Wal-Mart as the world's leading retailer has been spreading very fast extending its power across the world market. This began with the nine countries in South America, Asia, and Europe. This expansion is likely to extend even in the near future. As the company attempts at penetrating the hypermarket culture in different countries, it has encountered a battery of severe problems in the process of its global operations. Joint ventures and acquisitions of local businesses have become a major challenge in nationalism economies. Therefore, strict rules and regulations imposed by governments have blocked Wal-Mart's business operations. Late entry and miscalculating competitors have destroyed location opportunities and tampered with Wal-Mart's relationship with local suppliers. The company experienced big challenges in the global market due to its inability to adapt to new local cultures. In addition, sex discrimination, unions, and low wages prompted employees to have an…...
