They also liked the HPWS tool because of its strict structure and because it was a good platform
designed a second product to meet Wal-Mart's decree. Wal-Mart recently decided to allow each individual pharmacist in the company to choose whether or not to stock the "morning after" pill. Wal-Mart's constant demand for lower prices caused Kraft Foods to "shut down thirty-nine plants, to let go of 13,500 workers, and to eliminate a quarter of its products."

Vegemite by clicking any one of the twelve options given on the website. The campaign was successful for several reasons. First, Kraft identified the target consumers, which included all Australians, but in particular focused on lapsed or non-users of Vegemite and new Australians.

Vegemite has been a staple in the average Australian’s diet for decades. When Simon Talbot stepped in as Kraft’s Director of Corporate Affairs in 2007, Vegemite sales were at an all time high. Household penetration was at 80% and in 2008, the billionth jar of Vegemite was made (Keinan, A., Farrelly, F., Beverland, M., 2012). However, because of little change made to the brand in its 80 year history, the product was going out of style. It was clear that Vegemite needed some kind of new-age makeover

papermaking plant. Essentially it is two plants in one since pulp and papermaking are sometimes separated. The papermaking process begins with pulp. Pulp is cellulosic fibrous material extracted from cellulosic fiber from wood. Glatfelter uses the Kraft Process to make both hardwood and softwood pulps.
