  • Strategic Analysis of Ice-Fili

    1809 Words  | 4 Pages

    Ice cream in Russia is a very profitable business. Profit margins range between 15 and 20 %. This profit can be even greater when creating a premium product. Ice-Fili’s product value lies within raw material acquisition. Since the content of fat applied in the creation of ice cream is higher in Russian ice cream, the product is of better taste quality and unique flavor. With the Russian public placing more alarm on preservatives in edibles rather than fat content, this gives Ice-Fili an advantage over foreign competitors. In fact, Ice-Fili was the only ice cream producer awarded at the 2002 Moscow World Food exhibition for its brand Eralash. To market such prestige could help increase brand loyalty amongst customers. Ice-Fili also enjoys rather favorable brand recognition. The Lakomka brand is hailed as one of three most recognized ice cream brands in Russia....

  • Globalization and Diversity in the Workplace

    667 Words  | 2 Pages

    With the advent of the Internet, decreased shipping costs, and the removal of trade barriers, the world market has shrunk in such a way that everyone can be a player. While many businesses thrive solely on serving a small local area, a globalized company has the benefits of increased customer markets, gross production, and brand awareness. Take for example Coca-Cola; this multi-national corporation offers products in countries all over the world, operates in over 200 of those countries with the help of its franchisees, and is the most well-known beverage companies. It is interesting to note however, that as positive as globalization may seem, there are many negative ramifications and a large population of detractors to this movement. While increased product availability is good for profits, if a local market is inundated with imported products, locally grown or manufactured items may be squeezed out, to the detriment of the local economy. Although it is cost effective to have your product produced in another country with low wages, you are essentially taking away jobs from the people of your own country, negatively impacting your national economy. However, if you manufacture your products in a country with higher wages, you must increase your products’ prices which may be harmful to your profits. While maximizing your companies profits is always of great importance, it is essential that you weigh the pros and cons of globalization and its effects on not only your company, but the areas in which you wish to spread.

  • KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) in China

    1110 Words  | 3 Pages

    KFC is one of the most popular fast-food restaurant chains by the Yum! Brands and fried chicken is what the company specializes. KFC was founded by Harland Sanders, which was later known as Colonel Sanders. Moreover, KFC was one of the first fast-food restaurant chains to expand internationally, including the opening outlets in Beijing, China, in November 1987 (KFC Website, 2013). The fact that KFC was the first Western fast food company in China makes it very challenging to satisfy the Chinese market. Trying to sell the same products or services is a typical approach to most foreign expansion for franchise businesses (Bell, 2011). However, one-size fits all approach is not what KFC chooses to apply for their company. According to Shelman, the writer of the case study regarding KFC’s Explosive Growth in China, key success for KFC China is to change the menu to suit Chinese tastes and style of eating (Starvish, 2011). “One of the lessons I take away from this case is that to ...
