14
Market Factors
  • Single European market within the EU
  • Tariff barriers and custom duties were scrapped
    and good and labor were to move freely between
    countries.
  • Product Standards were harmonized
  • Border controls were abolished and a common
    European passport was created
  • Commercial Vehicles needed a single loading
    document for shipments across Europe. In the past
    each country had it own documents and standards.

15
Market Factors
  • National price controls where eliminated ,
    helping to create a large and unified market with
    competitive prices.
  • A single currency , the Euro was introduced in
    1999 making payments easier and equalizing
    prices( even though not all countries joined the
    currency system).
  • EU is a single market with upward of 450 million
    consumers the biggest mature market in the world.
  • ( though not all members countries are
    really in a mature stage yet.)

16
Market Segmentation
  • European Wide segments were identifies and
    targeted.
  • Pan- European product designs and marketing
    communications were created to achieve the same
    synergistic positioning in all countries.
  • Before the integration the European market it had
    been up to the marketing manager of each country
    subsidiary to develop a segmentation scheme for
    the customers in that country.
  • One researcher identified six basic segments The
    clusters of countries form large markets by
    themselves making it possible to gain many scale
    advantages without necessarily operating across
    the whole EU region.

17
Product Positioning
  • Three Strategic Options
  • 1.Market Retreat-
  • Sell out to pan-European player example, Nabisco)
  • Seek a different less competitive market example
    Nokia Dtra)

18
Product Positioning
  • 2. Pan-European Competition-
  • Identify true pan-European market segments
    (example Perrier)
  • Organic penetration from existing national
    markets (example Pilkington)
  • Aggressive policy of acquisitions to complete
    European portfolio9example BSN)
  • Cooperation with other national player to form
    pan-European organization9example Carnaud-Metal
    box) or alliances (example European Retailers
    Association)

19
Product Positioning
  • 3. Niche Position
  • Consolidate national position through
    realignment, merger or acquisition
  • (example Mannesmann-VDO)
  • Identify new Euro-regions
  • Identify segments across limited number of
    countries (example Campbell Biscuits)
  • Seek economies at component level while retaining
    niche brands9example Electrolux)
  • Become an OEM supplier to pan-European companies.

20
Market Tactics
  • Product Policies-
  • Euro Brand is common and are becoming Global.
  • Brand Names may vary in language differences the
    product itself may bi identical across countries.
  • Packaged goods in Europe feature packaging in at
    least four languages ( English ,French, German,
    Spanish.)
  • European Brands design products with a more
    European Feel like slimmer and thinner designs,
    colors and features that are not available for
    there other products.

21
Market Tactics
  • Pricing-
  • European pricing can be complicated issue as the
    single Euro currency is introduced and companies
    have to set a common Euro price throughout the
    region.
  • Price differentials on the same product and brand
    in different countries are being minimized to
    avoid inducing customers to buy in neighboring
    countries .
  • Long standing practices are not easily changed
    especially since in many protected local markets
    the high prices have made some products cash cows
    for the distributor.

22
Market Tactics
  • Distribution-
  • Sales networks , retail, and wholesale
    distribution is gradually being transformed from
    locally based smaller units to large integrated
    organizations resembling those common in North
    America.
  • The new large units have help to facilitate the
    introduction of pan-European strategies among
    manufactures.
  • Saving that have been created through large
    centralized negotiations between the manufacturer
    and a large distribution chain are well known in
    the American marketplace but are relatively new
    to Europe

23
Market Tactics
  • Promotion-
  • A Striking Development is the increasing use of
    pan-European TV advertising , and taking
    advantage of the satellite beamed across
    previously closed borders.
  • As public ownership of TV broadcasting lessens
    and commercial airtime is made available , even
    in previously protected countries .They are
    exposed to the dame mass media messages as the
    rest of the EU.
  • Languages differences are overcome by limiting
    copy to voice over's , making it possible to
    quickly adapt a given commercial to broadcasting
    in a different language.

24
Competition
  • New rules meant that national subsidiaries had to
    be given stronger central direction to gain
    projected savings from eliminating unnecessarily
    costly national differences in product design,
    brand names and promotions.
  • Smaller European companies and even large firms
    the threat from these foreign entrants has been
    met by the creation of larger and stronger
    companies.
  • At the corporate level there seems to be one
    strategic response pssisble get bigger and go
    pan-European

25
Foreign Trade Agreements
  • The EU has taken over the role as the primary
    trade negotiation entity for tits members
    countries.
  • The EU undertakes trade negotiations and dispute
    resolution with other regional groupings, often
    under the World Trade Organization (WTO)
    umbrella.
  • The EU also takes the lead in conflict resolution
    with other trade regions .
  • The EU will continue to be an important player in
    the worlds trade negotiations.

  • 1970s averaging 5
  • 1980s averaging 4
  • 1990s averaging 1.7 (slowdown)
  • Growth slowed in 1990s due to- effects of
    overinvestment and an asset price bubble during
    late 80s that required an extended period of time
    for firms to reduce excess debt, capital, and
    labor.
  • GDP (purchasing power parity)- 4.22 trillion
    (2006 est.)

28
Economic cont.

    between the North pacific Ocean and the Sea of
    Japan, east of the Korean Peninsula
  • Area comparative slightly smaller than
    California
  • Climate varies from tropical in south to cool
    temperature in north

32
Market Segmentation
  • Japanese consumers the most spoiled buyers in the
    world
  • Japanese becoming more similar to Westerners in
    leisure and shopping behavior
  • For each product segment
  • 1. Upscale segments
  • 2. Middle-of-the-roaders who buy tried and true
  • 3. Those buying on price- looking for cheaper
    imports and private labels
  • Japanese open to discounted prices in addition to
    quality, service, and up-to-date technology

33
Product Positioning
  • Japanese are now learning to make trade-offs
    between the brand and the latest features and the
    price
  • value conscious- Japanese dont necessarily
    demand the very latest (although exceptions in
    some product categories)
  • However, there is not compromise with quality
    when consumers trade off features and prices

34
Marketing Tactics
  • Product Policies- Western quality levels are a
    concern to Japanese consumers
  • Signs of poor product in packaging- variations in
    label position, blemishes in the wrapping,
    unappealing color combinations
  • Japanese attention to detail in all forms of
    shopping
  • Pricing- Price sensitivity has increased
  • Lower-priced imports in discount outlets, strong
    interbrand price competition
  • Lower prices do not always mean lower quality

35
Marketing Tactics cont.
  • Distribution- Japanese system features several
    layers of small, specialized units, each handling
    small quantities of products
  • In 1988 wholesale-to-retail ratio in Japan 4 to
    1 in US 2 to 1
  • Difficult for newcomers to break into a
    distribution channel because of the Japanese
    preference of establishing relationships with
    middlemen and dealing with same people
  • Japanese retailers have an understanding with
    domestic manufacturers not to stock competing
    products
  • American cigarettes
  • European beer
  • Western PCs
  • Creating a new distribution channel is expensive

36
Marketing Tactics cont.
  • Promotion- Japanese advertising unfocused and
    nonsensical
  • Advertising is an art form not sales tool- little
    need for advertising to provide information
  • Consumers spend more time contemplating purchases
    than people in the West
  • Mundane packaged goods- shift to unique selling
    proposition
  • Due to economic difficulties the buyer needs
    reasons for purchasing and focus on low prices
  • Need to offer smaller packages, fewer units, and
    faster restocking of supplies due to lack of
    storage

37
Foreign Trade Agreement
  • Reluctance to engage in trade agreements due to
    countrys relative isolation (geographically and
    culturally)
  • Tariff trade protection is dismantled
  • Combination of high incomes, high productivity
    workers, state-of-the-art technology, successful
    exporting
  • Eased control over foreign capital investments
  • Eager to attract foreign products
  • Diminished need for protection

38
Competition
  • Intrabrand price competition suppressed- meaning
    a particular brand and model will cost the same
    in all stores in Japan
  • THEN Interbrand competition is strong- companies
    compete in terms of product innovation, quality,
    and service
  • Formation of quality circles and total quality
    management (TQM)
  • Consumers choices were based on design, brand
    image, and other intangibles
  • NOW after economic slowdown in 1990s, discount
    stores and category killers entered in suburban
    locations
  • Deregulation, elimination of certain trade
    barriers allow foreign firms to enter
  • New emphasis on price and value by consumers

    the future, import competition will increase
    dramatically
