Today’s Competitive Global Market More products, more choices Shift to a consumer’s market More informed consumers Consumers expect quality Impacts the decision to adapt or standardize

Mandatory Product Adaptation Requirements Legal Economic Political Technological Climate A product may have to change in a number of ways to meet the physical or mandatory requirements of a new market, ranging from simple package changes to total redesign of the physical core product. In many countries the term product homologation is used to describe the changes mandated by local product and service standards. A recent study reaffirmed the often-reported finding that mandatory adaptations were more frequently the reason for product adaptation than adapting for cultural reasons. Legal, economic, political, technological, and climatic requirements of the local marketplace often dictate product adaptation. Laws that vary among countries usually set specific package sizes and safety and quality standards. To make a purchase more affordable in low-income countries, the number of units per package may have to be reduced from the typical quantities offered in high-income countries. Razor blades, cigarettes, chewing gum, and other multiple-pack items are often sold singly or two to a pack instead of the more customary 10 or 20. Changes may also have to be made to accommodate climatic differences.

Green Marketing and Product Development Environmental consequences of marketing Critical issues affecting product development Control of packaging component of solid waste Consumer demand for eco-friendly products European Commission guidelines for eco-labeling Laws to control solid waste A quality issue of growing importance the world over, especially in Europe and the United States, is green marketing. Europe has been at the forefront of the “green movement,” with strong public opinion and specific legislation favoring environmentally friendly marketing and products. Green marketing is a term used to identify concern with the environmental consequences of a variety of marketing activities. Two critical issues that affect product development are the control of the packaging component of solid waste and consumer demand for environmentally friendly products. The European Commission issued guidelines for ecolabeling that became operational in 1992. Under the directive, a product is evaluated on all significant environmental effects throughout its life cycle, from manufacturing to disposal—a cradle-to-grave approach. Laws that mandate systems to control solid waste, while voluntary in one sense, do carry penalties. The EU law requires that packaging material through all levels of distribution, from the manufacturer to the consumer, be recycled or reused. Currently, between 50 percent and 65 percent of the weight of the packaging must be recovered, and between 25 percent and 45 percent of the weight of the totality of packaging materials contained in packaging waste will be recycled.

Global Product Strategy Diffusion of Innovations Theory Product Component Model & Analysis Continuum of Environmental Sensitivity

Diffusion of Innovations Theory New products (innovations) have particular characteristics that can be manipulated to increase the rate at which consumers adopt (purchase) the products (Perceived) degree of newness Characteristics of an innovation

Degree of Newness (How new is it perceived to be?) Congruent Innovation Continuous Innovation Dynamically Continuous Innovation Discontinuous Innovation

Degree of Newness: General Rule of Thumb The greater the disruption to consumption patterns, the greater the likelihood that you will have to adapt your marketing strategy Disruption = Adaptation

Characteristics of Innovations Relative Advantage Compatibility Complexity Trialability Observability

Continuum of Environmental Sensitivity (How sensitive is it perceived to be?) Insensitive Industrial products and services Highly sensitive High style and faddish consumer products Basic consumer staples

Product Component Model To identify all the possible ways a product may be adapted to a new market, it helps to separate its many dimensions into three distinct components as illustrated in Exhibit 13.1.

Global Brands Global use of a name, term, sign, symbol, design, or combination Intended to identify goods or services of one seller To differentiate them from those of competitors Most valuable company resource Provides uniform global image Internet accelerates pace of global brands Hand in hand with global products and services are global brands. A global brand is defined as the worldwide use of a name, term, sign, symbol (visual and/or auditory), design, or combination thereof intended to identify goods or services of one seller and to differentiate them from those of competitors. Much like the experience with global products, the question of whether or not to establish global brands has no single answer. However, the importance of a brand name, even in the nonprofit sector, is unquestionable. A successful brand is the most valuable resource a company has. The brand name encompasses the years of advertising, good will, quality evaluation, product experience, and other beneficial attributes the market associates with the product. Brand image is at the very core of business identity and strategy. Research shows that the importance and impact of brands also vary with cultural values around the world.

Country-of-Origin Effects and Global Brands Country of manufacture, assembly, or design Impact on a consumer’s perception of a product Consumers have broad but somewhat vague stereotypes about specific countries and specific product categories that they judge “best” Ethnocentrism Brands are used as external cues to taste, design, performance, quality, value, prestige, and so forth. In other words, the consumer associates the value of the product with the brand. The brand can convey either a positive or a negative message about the product to the consumer and is affected by past advertising and promotion, product reputation, and product evaluation and experience. Country-of-origin effect (COE) can be defined as any influence that the country of manufacture, assembly, or design has on a consumer’s positive or negative perception of a product. A company competing in global markets today manufactures products worldwide; when the customer becomes aware of the country of origin, there is the possibility that the place of manufacture will affect product or brand image. Consumers have broad but somewhat vague stereotypes about specific countries and specific product categories that they judge “best”: English tea, French perfume, Chinese silk, Italian leather, Japanese electronics, Jamaican rum, and so on. Stereotyping of this nature is typically product specific and may not extend to other categories of products from these countries. Ethnocentrism can also have country-of-origin effects; feelings of national pride—the “buy local” effect, for example—can influence attitudes toward foreign products.

Marketing Consumer Services Globally More than half of Fortune 500 companies are service providers Consumer services characteristics Intangibility Inseparability Heterogeneity Perishability More than half of Fortune 500 companies are primarily service providers. The value of services produced in the world today now exceeds that of manufactured physical products and international trade in services represents about 25% of total world trade. Much of the advice regarding adapting products for international consumer markets also applies to adapting services. Moreover, some services are closely associated with products. However, many consumer services are distinguished by four unique characteristics—intangibility, inseparability, heterogeneity, and perishability—and thus require special consideration. Products are often classified as tangible, whereas services are intangible. Automobiles, computers, and furniture are examples of products that have a physical presence; they are things or objects that can be stored and possessed, and their intrinsic value is embedded within their physical presence. The intangibility of services results in characteristics unique to a service: It is inseparable in that its creation cannot be separated from its consumption; it is heterogeneous in that it is individually produced and is thus unique; it is perishable in that once created it cannot be stored but must be consumed simultaneously with its creation. As is true for many tangible products, a service can be marketed both as an industrial (business-to-business) or a consumer service, depending on the motive of, and use by, the purchaser.

Barriers to Entering Global Markets for Consumer Services Protectionism Restrictions on transborder data flows Protection of intellectual property Cultural barriers and adaptation Four kinds of barriers face consumer service marketers: Protectionism (the EU is making modest progress toward establishing a single market for services. However, exactly how foreign service providers will be treated as the unification proceeds is not clear. For example, a directive regarding transfrontier television broadcasting created a quota for European programs, requiring EU member states to ensure that at least 50% of entertainment air time is devoted to “European works”, Restrictions on transborder data flows (The European Commission is concerned that data about individual such as, income, spending patterns, spending history, medical conditions, and employment are being collected, manipulated, and transferred between companies with little regard to the privacy of the affected individuals), Protection of intellectual property (an important form of competition that is difficult to combat arises from pirated trademarks, processes, copyrights, and patents), and Cultural barriers and adaptation (because trade in services frequently involves people-to-people contact, culture plays a much bigger role in services than in merchandise trade).
