Nestlé
Nestlé is one of the world’s largest food and beverage company according to revenues. It is a Swiss company and its headquarters are in Vevey, Switzerland.
Nestlé has the function for processing and manufacturing food.
The Nestlé R & D Network carries out research and development in order to improve and create products, and manufacturing processes that ensures the needs of consumers are met that high quality of the products is kept, so that strong competition between other companies e.g. Cadbury is persistent. 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. Nestlé recognises different social, political and cultural traditions around the world; therefore not all Nestlé products will be the same in every country.
Nestlé developed Environmental and Management System which attempts to minimise waste, pollution and saving energy and resources on all levels of operation. Nestlé has established a ‘Water and Environmental Sustainability Policy (1991)’ which enforces that preserving natural resources and minimising wastes is an integrate part of Nestlé operations. Nestlé contributes $20000 (AUD) a year, that aims to rehabilitate or sustain the environment.
Nestlé’s input into the Australian economy will vary year to year, as it is dependent upon the nest profit that is distributed across shareholders. Nestlé spends its costs on transportation, company taxes, packaging, and depreciation of plants, animals, equipment and total company wages.
In order to put the Nestlé slogan ‘GOOD FOOD, GOOD LIFE’ into practice, Nestlé has created many community programs that allow people to be recognised.

In her book Marion Nestle examines many aspects of the food industry that call for regulation and closer examination. Nestle was a member of the Food Advisory Committee to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the 1990’s and therefore helps deem herself as a credible source of information to the audience. (Nestle 2003). Yet, with her wealth of knowledge and experience she narrates from a very candid and logical perspective, but her delivery of this knowled...
The European Vice President of United Cereal (UC), Lora Brill, is confronted by a dilemma: to launch a new product called Healthy Berry Crunch as the first ‘Eurobrand’ or not. A wrong decision may destroy her career, especially since Healthy Berry Crunch is not only a new concept of healthy cereal, but also a pioneer of United Cereal’s Eurobrand, which is different from the company’s usual standards. On the other hand, if she makes the right decision, she may be able to grow the company to a whole new level.
Hershey’s takes advantage of many different types of advertising. Television commercials and ads are very common. Sponsorships is also another very common way Hershey advertises. Hershey sponsors everything from ice skating shows, to racecars. The Hershey Food Corporation is very competitive so they need this type of advertising. However, the only other major corporation to compete with is Mars. The chocolate industry is diffidently not pure competition. Mars and Hershey’s form an oligopoly. Hershey’s has so many different kind of products that they have a lot of competition. The company has branched out to where they’re not only competing against other chocolates but also for fruit candies, and baking chocolate and chocolate drinks as well. The fact that so many products are offered, extends the corporation to different divisions. Mexico and Canada have manufacturing plants. Seventeen manufacturing plants include Hershey, Pa (Hershey plant, Reese plant, West Hershey plant0, Hazleton, PA, Lancaster, PA, Memphis, Tenn., Naugatuck, Conn., New Brunswick, NJ, Oakedale, CA, Palmyra, PA, Reading, PA, Robinson, Ill., Stuarts Draft, VA, Wheatridge, CO, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Montreal, Quebec, Smiths Falls, Ontario, and Guadalajara, Mexico.
In essence, Whole Foods’ mission is to highlight, “Whole Foods, Whole People, Whole Planet…” while it simultaneously meets, “…customer satisfaction, team member happiness, and excellence, return on capital investment, improvement in the state of the environment and local and larger community support” (Whole Foods, 2017). Whole Foods distinguishes itself from its competitors by championing a sustainability pledge, which guarantees that future generations will be afforded the chance to exist in a world that, “…Values human creativity, diversity, and individual choice” (Whole Foods, 2017). Furthermore, Whole Foods drafted its corporate strategies to align with the longevity of quality health for its consumers as well as the planet, specifically through the realm of organic food. Such a corporate-level strategy definitely aligns with the long-term success of the company because it informs consumers that it is interested in advancing their personal health.
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.

They attempt to implement responsible sourcing within their supply chains, raise awareness of both water conservation and help to preserve natural capital. To do this they promote global transparency, and voice their engagement in climate policy. Nestlé’s labor practices consistently address human rights impacts in their operations and supply chains. Additionally, Nestle works towards enhancing the gender equality in the developed global offices.

That way new product failure rate remained minimal and New product Development grew significantly. This process is referred to as local adaptation by the writer.
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 is a ground bean called cacao and is fermented and roasted to become chocolate. Therefore, original chocolate tastes very bitter and is not so enjoyable. Chocolate is a food that can be eaten in many ways. We can enjoy it sweetened or we can use it unsweetened for cooking or baking. The founding of chocolate dates to the Mesoamerican times. It can be traced back to MO kaya and other Pre-Olmec people. Chocolate is not subjected to being found in just one place. This paper will study where these cacao beans come from and who grows these plants.
