Chapter 4 Social and Cultural Environments

4-2 Introduction “This can happen to anyone, anywhere, at anytime if you don’t understand other people’s culture.” Finn Hansen Hansen, head of international operations at Arla Foods, referring to the boycott of Danish products by Muslims and the political debacle that followed the publication of images of the prophet Mohammed in a Danish newspaper.

4-3 Task of Global Marketers Study and understand the cultures of countries in which they will be doing business Understand how an unconscious reference to their own cultural values, or self-reference criterion, may influence their perception of the market Incorporate this understanding into the marketing planning process

4-4 Society, Culture, and Global Consumer Culture Culture – ways of living, built up by a group of human beings, that are transmitted from one generation to another Culture has both conscious and unconscious values, ideas, attitudes and symbols Culture is acted out in social institutions Culture is both physical (clothing and tools) and nonphysical (religion, attitudes, beliefs, and values)

4-5 Social Institutions Family Education Religion Government Business These institutions function to reinforce cultural norms

4-6 Material and Nonmaterial Culture Physical component or physical culture Clothing Tools Decorative art Body adornment Homes Subjective or abstract culture Religion Perceptions Attitudes Beliefs Values

4-7 Society, Culture, and Global Consumer Culture “Culture is the collective programming of the mind that distinguishes the members of one category of people from those of another.” Geert Hofstede A nation, an ethic group, a gender group, an organization, or a family may be considered as a category.

4-8 Society, Culture, and Global Consumer Culture Global consumer cultures are emerging Persons who share meaningful sets of consumption- related symbols Pub culture, coffee culture, fast-food culture, credit card culture Primarily the product of a technologically interconnected world Internet Satellite TV Cell phones

4-9 Attitudes, Beliefs and Values Attitudes - learned tendency to respond in a consistent way to a given object or entity Belief - an organized pattern of knowledge that an individual holds to be true about the world Value - enduring belief or feeling that a specific mode of conduct is personally or socially preferable to another mode of conduct

4-10 Religion The world’s major religions include Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, and Christianity and are an important source of beliefs, attitudes, and values. Religious tenets, practices, holidays, and history impact global marketing activities.

4-12 Aesthetics The sense of what is beautiful and what is not beautiful What represents good taste as opposed to tastelessness or even obscenity Visual – embodied in the color or shape of a product, label, or package Styles – various degrees of complexity, for example, are perceived differently around the world

4-13 Aesthetics and Color Red-associated with blood,wine-making, activity, heat, and vibrancy in many countries but is poorly received in some African countries. White-identified with purity and cleanliness in the West, with death in parts of Asia. Gray- means inexpensive in Japan and China, but high quality and expensive in the U.S.

4-14 Dietary Preferences Domino’s Pizza pulled out of Italy because its products were seen as “too American” with bold tomato sauce and heavy toppings. Subway had to educate Indians about the benefits of sandwiches because they do not normally eat bread.

4-15 Language and Communication Syntax- rules of sentence formation Semantics- system of meaning Phonology- system of sound patterns Morphology- word formation Never give an umbrella to a Chinese businessperson. Umbrella sounds like “to break into pieces or fall apart ” and would be taken as a sign that you want the business to fail!

4-16 Language and Communication Speaking English Around the Globe There are more people who speak English as a foreign language than native speakers 85% of European teens study English Sony, Nokia, Matsushita require managers to speak English Nonverbal Communication Westerners tend to be verbal, Asians value nonverbal communication In Japan, bowing has many nuances In the Mideast, Westerners should not show the soles of shoes or pass documents with the left hand

4-17 Marketing’s Impact on Culture Universal aspects of the cultural environment represent opportunities to standardize elements of a marketing program Increasing travel and improved communications have contributed to a convergence of tastes and preferences in a number of product categories

4-18 Controversy Surrounding Marketing’s Impact on Culture “McDonaldization of culture” “ Eating is at the heart of most cultures and for many it is something on which much time, attention and money are lavished. In attempting to alter the way people eat, McDonaldization poses a profound threat to the entire cultural complex of many societies ” - George Ritzer Protest against the opening of McDonald’s in Rome led to the establishment of the Slow Food movement

4-19 High- and Low- Context Cultures High Context Information resides in context Emphasis on background, basic values, societal status Less emphasis on legal paperwork Focus on personal reputation Saudi Arabia, Japan Low Context Messages are explicit and specific Words carry all information Reliance on legal paperwork Focus on non-personal documentation of credibility Switzerland, U.S., Germany

4-22 Self-Reference Criterion and Perception Unconscious reference to one’s own cultural values; creates cultural myopia How to Reduce Cultural Myopia: Define the problem or goal in terms of home country cultural traits Define the problem in terms of host-country cultural traits; make no value judgments Isolate the SRC influence and examine it Redefine the problem without the SRC influence and solve for the host country situation

4-26 Marketing Implications Cultural factors must be considered when marketing consumer and industrial products Environmental Sensitivity reflects the extent to which products must be adapted to the culture-specific needs of different national markets

4-27 Environmental Sensitivity

4-28 Environmental Sensitivity Independent of social class and income, culture is a significant influence on consumption and purchasing Food is the most culturally sensitive category of consumer goods Dehydrated Knorr Soups did not gain popularity in the U.S. market that preferred canned soups Starbucks overcame cultural barriers in Great Britain and had 466 outlets by 2005
