Preface

Global Marketing, Eighth Edition, builds on the worldwide success of the previous editions of Principles of Global Marketing and Global Marketing. Those books took an environmental and strategic approach by outlining the major dimensions of the global business environment. The authors also provided a set of conceptual and analytical tools that prepared students to success- fully apply the four Ps to global marketing.

our goal for all eight editions has been the same: to write a book that is authoritative in con- tent yet relaxed and assured in style and tone. Here’s what students have to say:

● “an excellent textbook with many real-life examples.” ● “The authors use simple language and clearly state the important points.” ● “This is the best textbook that I am using this term.” ● “The authors have done an excellent job of writing a text that can be read easily.”

When Principles of Global Marketing first appeared in 1996, we invited readers to “look ahead” to such developments as the ending of america’s trade embargo with Vietnam, Europe’s new single market, Daimler aG’s Smart car, Volkswagen’s global ambitions, and Whirlpool’s expansion into emerging markets. These topics represented “big stories” in the global marketing arena and continue to receive press coverage on a regular basis.

Guided by our experience using the text in undergraduate and graduate classrooms and in corporate training seminars, we have revised, updated, and expanded Global Marketing, Eighth Edition. We have benefited tremendously from readers’ feedback and input; we also continue to draw on our direct experience in the americas, asia, Europe, africa, and the Middle East. The result is a text that addresses your needs and the needs of instructors in every part of the world. Global Marketing has been adopted at scores of colleges and universities in the United States; international use of the English-language Global Edition is found in australia, Canada, China, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Saudi arabia, South Korea, Spain, and Sri lanka. The text is also available in albanian, Chinese (simplified and traditional), Japanese, Korean, Macedonian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Turkish editions.

what’s New to the Eighth Edition Thunderclap Newman once sang,

“Call out the instigator, there’s something in the air . . . we’ve got to get together sooner or later, because the revolution’s here.”

Indeed, something is in the air. Two specific geopolitical developments that formed the backdrop to the Seventh Edition continue to dominate the headlines as this revision goes to press. First, after popular uprisings in North africa upended the long-entrenched political order, the region is still in transition. Tensions remain especially high in Egypt and Syria. Second, the sovereign debt crisis in the euro zone, while still not resolved, is not as acute today as it was in 2011. High on the EU’s agenda now are broader concerns about high unemployment levels and stagnant demand in Greece, Italy, and elsewhere.

More generally, the global economic crisis continues to impact global marketing strate- gies. Virtually every industry sector, company, and country has been affected by the downturn. although the North american auto industry is rebounding, Europe’s automakers are plagued by excess capacity. The lack of credit remains a key issue that is still squeezing companies and con- sumers. among the bright spots: Real estate values in the United States appear to have bottomed

out, and the uptick in the demand for housing provides grounds for optimism. also, Wall Street continues to rebound, with some stocks hitting record highs.

although all of these storylines continue to unfold as this edition goes to press, we have tried to offer up-to-date, original insights into the complexities and subtleties of these shifts in the external environment and their implications for global marketers. other specific updates and revisions include:

● Fifty percent of the chapter-opening cases and related end-of-chapter cases are new to the Eighth Edition. Holdover cases have been revised and updated.

● all tables containing key company, country, and industry data have been updated. Examples include Table 2-3, “Index of Economic Freedom”; all the income and population tables in Chapters 3 and 7; Table 10-2, “The World’s Most Valuable brands”; Table 13-1, “Top 25 Global Marketers”; and Table 13-2, “Top 20 Global advertising agency Companies.”

● The discussion of bRIC nations has been expanded to talk about the bRICS countries, reflecting South africa’s increasing importance as an emerging market.

● New discussion of social media is integrated throughout the Eighth Edition. Chapter 15, “Global Marketing and the Digital Revolution,” has been completely revised and updated to include discussion of location-based mobile platforms, cloud computing, tablets, and other emerging topics.

● a new sidebar, Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and the Global Startup, presents profiles of visionary business leaders from around the world.

● Income and population data in Chapter 3 have been reorganized for improved clarity and comparability.

● a new emphasis on developing critical thinking skills when analyzing chapter-ending cases has been included in the Eighth Edition.

● To supplement the use of Global Marketing, Eighth Edition, faculty and students can access author updates and comments on Twitter, the microblogging Web site. In addition, the authors have archived nearly 2,000 articles pertaining to global marketing on Delicious.com, the social bookmarking site (www.delicious.com/MarkCGreen).

Time marches on. as this edition goes to press in 2013, some iconic global brands and companies celebrate golden anniversaries. among them: the beatles! Fifty years ago, the bea- tles topped the charts in the United Kingdom before fundamentally revolutionizing popular music. also 50 years ago, the first hypermarket opened in France. Turning 40 this year is the mobile phone; Motorola’s DynaTec mobile handset was the first shot fired in the nascent tele- communications revolution. It was 30 years ago, in 1983, that Theodore levitt’s classic article “The Globalization of Markets” was published in Harvard Business Review. That same year, the compact disc player was introduced, ushering in a new era of digital music. and, in april 2013, apple’s game-changing iTunes store turned 10.

Unifying themes in earlier editions included the growing impact of emerging nations in general and brazil, Russia, India, and China in particular. To those four bRIC countries we add South africa in this edition. also in earlier editions, we explored the marketing strategies used by global companies such as Embraer (brazil), lukoil (Russia), Cemex (Mexico), lenovo (China), and India’s big Three—Wipro, Infosys, and Tata—to build scale and scope on the global stage. We then broadened our view to examine emerging markets as a whole. We noted that, prior to the world wide economic downturn, Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Turkey (the so-called MINTs) and a handful of other emerging nations were rapidly approaching the tipping point in terms of both competitive vigor and marketing opportunity.

In the Seventh Edition previously, we charted the path of the nascent economic recovery and the resulting shifts in global market opportunities and threats. New phrases such as austerity, capital flight, currency wars, double-dip recession, global imbalances, global rebalancing, quantitative easing (QE), and sovereign-debt crisis were introduced into the discourse. The crisis in the euro zone was, and remains, one of the top stories of the year. Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, and Spain bear especially close observation; this is the open- ing case in Chapter 3. Meanwhile, the big news in asia was China’s overtaking Japan as the world’s second-largest economy. China has also surpassed the United States as the world’s leading manufacturer.

PREFACE 19

The aforementioned trends are central to the Eighth Edition as well. as noted previously, unprecedented social and political change is underway in North africa. Sub-Saharan africa’s economies are rebounding from the global financial crisis at a rapid pace. Every day the busi- ness press contains another announcement that a global company plans to enter africa or expand operations there. bharti-airtel, Coca-Cola, Ford, IbM, Nestlé, and Walmart are among the com- panies that have joined the “final gold rush” into the world’s last untapped market. “africa 3.0,” the lead-in case to Chapter 15, explores the way mobile phones are transforming business and home life across the continent. This is clearly a region that bears watching.

Current research findings have been integrated into each chapter of Global Marketing, Eighth Edition. For example, we have incorporated key insights from Seung Ho Park and Wilfried R. Vanhonacker’s article “The Challenge for Multinational Corporations in China: Think local, act Global,” which appeared in MIT Sloan Management Review in 2007. Similarly, we found arin- dam K. bhattacharya and David C. Michael’s 2008 Harvard Business Review article “How local Companies Keep Multinationals at bay” to be extremely insightful.

Similarly, our thinking about the global/local market paradox has been influenced by John Quelch’s 2012 book, All Business Is Local. We have added scores of current examples of global marketing practice as well as quotations from global marketing practitioners and industry experts. Throughout the text, organizational Web sites are referenced for further student study and exploration. a companion Web site (www.pearsonglobaleditions.com/keegan) is integrated with the text as well.

End-of-Chapter Cases and Chapter Sidebars Each chapter opens with a brief case study introducing a company, a country, a product, or a global marketing issue that directly relates to the chapter’s themes and content. The cases vary in length from a few hundred words to more than 2,600 words, yet they are all short enough to be covered in a single class period. The cases were written with the same objectives in mind: to raise issues that will encourage student interest and learning; to stimulate class discussion; to give students a chance to apply theory and concepts while developing critical thinking skills; and to enhance the classroom experience for students and instructors alike. Every chapter and case has been classroom-tested in both undergraduate and graduate courses.

The end-of-chapter cases strike a balance between revisions and updates of cases from the Seventh Edition and cases that are new to this edition. Revised and updated cases include Case 1-2, “McDonald’s Expands Globally While adjusting Its local Recipe”; Case 7-1, “Global Companies Target low-Income Consumers”; Case 15-1, “africa 3.0”; and Case 16-1, “Volkswa- gen aims for the Top.”

New cases in the Eighth Edition include Case 1-3, “apple Versus Samsung: The battle for Smartphone Supremacy Heats Up”; Case 3-1, “Global Trading Partners look East and West for Economic Growth”; Case 4-1, “Will Tourism Ruin Venice?”; Case 5-1, “Mr. President— Free Pussy Riot!”; Case 8-1, “East-asian countries: Export-led Growth for Economic Success”; Case 9-1, “Mo’men launches Franchises in UaE”; Case 12-1, “Carrefour’s Entry in Dubai”; and Case 14-1, “Red bull.”

In addition, every chapter contains two or more sidebars on three themes: Emerging Markets briefing book; Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and the Global Startup; and The Cultural Context. among the entrepreneurs profiled are Kevin Plank (Under armour), Reed Hastings (Netflix), and Diego Della Valle (Tod’s).

one of our challenges in writing new editions of this textbook is the rate of change in the global business environment. Yesterday’s impossibility becomes today’s reality; new companies explode onto the scene; company leadership changes abruptly. In short, any book can be quickly outdated by current events. Even so, we set out to create a compelling narrative that captures the unfolding drama that is inherent in marketing in the globalization era. The authors are passionate about the subject of global marketing; if our readers detect a note of enthusiasm in our writing, then we have been successful. We believe that you will find Global Marketing, Eighth Edition, to be the most engaging, up-to-date, relevant, and useful text of its kind.

Mikkel Jakobsen provided source material on Denmark for “The Cultural Con- text” sidebar in Chapter 4. Caleb Hegna supplied important data about the white-goods market in Germany. My conversations with Michael Schwoll also helped shaped the text treatment of marketing practices in Germany.

The students in my international marketing course at CIMba Italy worked collabora- tively on the issue of tourism in Venice; Case 4-1 represents, in part, a mashup of the various team efforts. Hats off to Kaleb beckett, luci boat, leslie bourland, lauren Camerieri, lucas Commodore, Jeff Dellinger, Chris Duncan, Jacque Ford, brian Fry, Glynis Gallagher, Katie Greif, Kim Halamicek, Harper Hier, Jake Hirsch, Mike Johnson, Sarah Jones, Josh Kroll, Sean Miller, Chris Nucero, Mark Parmalee, Jack Roeder, Chris Shonkwiler, Slava Sinitsyn, and Chloe Suh. all were enthusiastic participants in the project and our work together in Italy made a lasting impression on me. Indeed, the whiteboard that these students filled while reviewing for a midterm exam served as the inspiration and springboard for the cover design of the Eighth Edition.

It was a great pleasure working with the Pearson team that managed the production of this edition. let me echo Warren’s thanks to all members of the Pearson team, and especially to Meeta Pendharkar, our Editorial Project Manager, and becca Groves, Senior Project Manager.

Introduction

1 Introduction to Global Marketing

Consider the following proposition: We live in a global marketplace. Apple iPhones, McDonald’s restaurants, Samsung HDTVs, LEGO toys, Swatch watches, Burberry trench coats, and Caterpillar earthmoving equipment are found practically everywhere on the planet. Global companies are fierce rivals in key markets. For example, American auto industry giants General Motors and Ford are locked in a competitive struggle with Toyota, Hyundai, and other global Asian rivals as well as European companies such as Volkswagen. U.S.-based Intel, the world’s largest chip maker, competes with South Korea’s Samsung. In the global cell phone market, Nokia (Finland), Apple (United States), Motorola (United States), and Samsung are key players. Appliances from Whirlpool and Electrolux compete for precious retail space with products manufactured and marketed by Germany’s Bosch, China’s Haier Group, and South Korea’s LG.

case 1-1

the Global Marketplace Is also Local

Exhibit 1-1 Salvatore Ferragamo, based in Florence, Italy, is one of the world’s leading fashion brands. Emerging markets represent important opportunities for luxury goods marketers. As Ferruccio Ferragamo notes, “We cannot make enough to keep up with demand from the Chinese. They want their shoes not just ‘Made in Italy’ but often ‘Made in Florence.’”

To show its support for socially responsible initiatives, Ferragamo recently introduced a new shoe line called Ferragamo WORLD that utilizes eco-friendly production processes. A portion of the proceeds from every pair sold supports Acumen Fund’s anti-poverty efforts in East Africa, India, and Pakistan. Source: Roussel Bernard/Alamy.

Learning Objectives

1 Use the product/market growth matrix to explain the various ways a company can expand globally.

2 Describe how companies in global industries pursue competitive advantage.

3 Compare and contrast single-country marketing strategy with global marketing strategy (GMS).

4 Identify the companies at the top of the Global 500 rankings.

5 Explain the stages a company goes through as its management orientation evolves from domestic and ethnocentric to global and geocentric.

6 Discuss the driving and restraining forces affecting global integration today.

Which brands are Japanese? American? Korean? German? Indian? Where is Nokia headquartered? When is a German car not a German car? Can a car be both German and American? Consider:

• An American-built Ford Mustang has 65 percent American and Canadian content; an American-built Toyota Sienna XLE mini- van has 90 percent American and Canadian content.2

• China’s Shanghai Automotive (SAIC) owns the rights to the MG, the legendary two-seat British sports car. In 2008, SAIC began manufacturing a limited-edition TF model at a plant in Longbridge, UK. In 2011, production of the MG6 sedan began in Birmingham.3 India’s Tata Group recently paid $2.4 billion to acquire Land Rover and Jaguar from Ford.

• German carmaker BMW exports the X5 sport-utility vehicle that it builds in Spartanville, South Carolina, to more than 100 coun- tries.

At the end of this chapter, you will find the rest of Case 1-1. Taken together, the two parts give you the opportunity to learn more about the global marketplace and test your knowledge of cur- rent issues in global marketing. You may be surprised at what you learn!

Now consider a second proposition: We live in a world in which markets are local. In China, for example, Yum! Brands’ East Dawning fast-food chain competes with local restaurants such as New Asia Snack and Haidi Lao.1 France’s domestic film industry generates about 40 percent of local motion picture box office receipts; U.S.-made movies account for about 50 percent. In Turkey, local artists such as Sertab account for more than 80 per- cent of recorded music sales. Kiki, a Japanese magazine for teen- age girls, competes for newsstand sales with Vogue Girl, Cosmo Girl, and other titles from Western publishers. In Germany, the children’s television powerhouse Nickelodeon competes with local broadcaster Super RTL. In Brazil, many consumers are partial to Guaraná Antarctica and other local soft drink brands made from guaraná, a berry that grows in the Amazon region.

The “global marketplace versus local markets” paradox lies at the heart of this text book. In later chapters, we will investi- gate the nature of local markets in more detail. For now, how- ever, we will focus on the first part of the paradox. Think for a moment about brands and products that are found throughout the world. Ask the average consumer where this global “horn of plenty” comes from, and you’ll likely hear a variety of answers. It’s certainly true that some brands—McDonald’s, Dos Equis, Swatch, Waterford, Ferragamo, and Burberry, for instance—are strongly identified with a particular country. In much of the world, Coca- Cola and McDonald’s are recognized as iconic American brands, just as Ferragamo and Versace are synonymous with classic Italian style (see Exhibit 1-1).

However, for many other products, brands, and companies, the sense of identity with a particular country is becoming blurred.

Introduction and overview as the preceding examples illustrate, the global marketplace finds expression in many ways. Some are quite subtle; others are not. While shopping, you may have noticed more multilanguage labeling on your favorite products and brands. Your local gas station may have changed its name from Getty to Lukoil, reflecting the russian energy giant’s expanding global reach. on the highway, you may have seen a semitrailer truck from Fedex’s Global Supply Chain Services fleet. or perhaps you took

advantage of radiohead’s offer to set your own price when you downloaded In Rainbows from the Internet. When you pick up a pound of whole-bean Central american coffee at your favorite coffee café, you will find that some beans are labeled Fair trade Certified. Your toll-free telephone call to a software technical support service or an airline customer service center may be answered in Bangalore or Mumbai. Slumdog Millionaire, which received an oscar in 2009 for Best Picture, was filmed on location in and around Mumbai. You have surely followed media reports about the occupy Wall Street movement in new York City and related protests in Great Britain, Germany, Greece, and Italy.

the growing importance of global marketing is one aspect of a sweeping transformation that has profoundly affected the people and industries of many nations during the past 160 years. International trade has existed for centuries; beginning in 200 b.c., for example, the legendary Silk road was a land route connecting China with Mediterranean europe. From the mid-1800s to the early 1920s, with Great Britain the dominant economic power in the world, international trade flour- ished. However, a series of global upheavals, including World War I, the Bolshevik revolution, and the Great Depression, brought that era to an end. then, following World War II, a new era began. Unparalleled expansion into global markets by companies that previously served only customers located in their respective home countries is one hallmark of this new global era.

Four decades ago, the phrase global marketing did not exist. today, businesspeople use global marketing to realize their companies’ full commercial potential. that is why, no matter whether you live in asia, europe, north america, or South america, you may be familiar with the brands mentioned in the opening paragraphs. However, there is another, even more critical reason why companies need to take global marketing seriously: survival. a management team that fails to understand the importance of global marketing risks losing its domestic business to competitors with lower costs, more experience, and better products.

But what is global marketing? How does it differ from “regular” marketing as it is typically practiced and taught in an introductory course? Marketing can be defined as the activity, set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large.5 Marketing activities center on an organization’s efforts to satisfy customer wants and needs with products and services that offer competitive value. the marketing mix (the four Ps of product, price, place, and promo- tion) comprises a contemporary marketer’s primary tools. Marketing is a universal discipline, as applicable in argentina as it is in Zimbabwe.

this book is about global marketing. an organization that engages in global marketing focuses its resources and competencies on global market opportunities and threats. a funda- mental 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. the scope issue can be conceptualized in terms of the familiar product/ market matrix of growth strategies (see table 1-1). Some companies pursue a market develop- ment strategy; this involves seeking new customers by introducing existing products or ser- vices to a new market segment or to a new geographical market. Global marketing can also take the form of a diversification strategy in which a company creates new product or service offerings targeting a new segment, a new country, or a new region.

Starbucks provides a good case study of a global marketer that can simultaneously execute all four of the growth strategies shown in table 1-1:

● Market penetration: Starbucks is building on its loyalty card and rewards program in the United States with a smartphone app that enables customers to pay for purchases electroni- cally. the app displays a bar code that the barista can scan.

● Market development: Starbucks is entering India via an alliance with the tata Group. Phase 1 calls for sourcing coffee beans in India and marketing them at Starbucks stores throughout the world. the next phase will likely involve opening Starbucks outlets in tata’s upscale taj hotels in India.6

● Product development: Starbucks created a brand of instant coffee, Via, to enable its customers to enjoy coffee at the office and other locations where brewed coffee is not

“Traditionally, service at Chinese restaurants is not very good and Chinese eat out only for the taste of the food. What Haidi Lao does is to offer a different service experience to make customers feel important. When people are in a good mood, they are willing to spend more, and that is what Haidi Lao gets for its premier service.”4

available. after a successful launch in the United States, Starbucks rolled out Via in Great Britain, Japan, South Korea, and several other asian countries. Starbucks also recently introduced its first coffee machine. the Versimo allows Starbucks’ customers to “prepare their favorite beverages at home.”

● Diversification: Starbucks has launched several new ventures, including music CDs and movie production. next up: revamping stores so they can serve as wine bars and attract new customers in the evening.7

to get some practice applying table 1-1, create a product/market growth matrix for another global company. IKea, LeGo, and Walt Disney are all good candidates for this type of exercise.

Companies that engage in global marketing frequently encounter unique or unfamiliar features in specific countries or regions of the world. In China, for example, product counterfeiting and piracy are rampant. Companies doing business there must take extra care to protect their intellec- tual property and deal with “knockoffs.” In some regions of the world, bribery and corruption are deeply entrenched. a successful global marketer understands specific concepts and has a broad and deep understanding of the world’s varied business environments.
