Nestlé also encourages employees to make suggestions where possible changes can be made to ensure that Nestlé products are top quality.
In order to keep high quality Nestlé implements extensive pest controls, hygiene practices and Nestlé also adopts the ‘Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points’ (HACCP) system. The HACCP allows Nestlé employees to identity a hazard and eliminate the risks that may occur in the production, manufacturing and handling of food not only in the factory, but across the food chain. In order for hazards to be recognised and eliminated, physical, chemical and biological aspects of food must be assessed. If a hazard is detected, critical control points are implemented and risks are banished.
Nestlé is committed to ensure that good nutritional choices are made by the consumer in order to carry out a healthy lifestyle. As their slogan says ‘GOOD FOOD, GOOD LIFE’ Nestlé ensures that it meets demands and need for various groups they cater for. For example Lean Cuisine meals are for people on the go or live busy lives.

Although United Cereal’s products are diversified into many different types of foods and beverages, its main source of revenue remains the breakfast cereals market. The real challenge of this market is clearly seen in the European market, where the national tastes and breakfast traditions vary between countries. As a result, its approach in Europe is more complex than in the United States, which causes higher costs and slower processes.

Chocolate is a sweet, creamy, delicate treat that many of us enjoy consuming. But, it is not born into the delicious treat we love.

It can be traced back to MO kaya and other Pre-Olmec people. Chocolate is not subjected to being found in just one place.

Although Unilever’s Path to Growth strategy involves all components of the general environment, two segments that are especially relevant are the global and sociocultural segments. A major strength of the company’s global environment is its geographic diversification of its major product markets. In 2003, Unilever had sales and marketing efforts in 88 different countries. The key is that it gave decision-making power to its managers in different countries so that they could tailor their products to the market’s specific preferences and consumers’ local tastes. Thus, it was the cross-country preferences of consumers that determined what products Unilever would carry. The global segment provides an enormous opportunity for Unilever. The case states that emerging country markets show the greatest potential for sales growth. Major competitors such as Procter & Gamble and Kraft Foods had sales in roughly 140 to 150 different countries in 2003, and Nestle, Unilever’s main rival, had market penetration in almost every country in the world. If Unilever is able to expand its operations into 50 or more new countries and concentrate its advertising campaign on consumer preferences, it could significantly increase its market share in the global economy.
