DRIVING FORCES AFFECTING GLOBAL INTEGRATION & GLOBAL MARKETGING Multilateral economic agreements DRIVING FORCES Regional agreements: NAFTA, EU expansion and single currency. WTO (1994) Market needs and wants and IT: There are cultural universals as well as differences. Common elements in human nature provide the opportunity to create and serve global markets. For example, soft drinks companies must recognize that product adaptation is not always necessary and that competitors may be serving global customers. The information revolution that Thomas Friedman calls the democratization of information is one reason for the trend to convergence. CNN and MTV allow people in remote areas to compare their lifestyles to others. Advertising overlapping national boundaries such as in Asia or Europe and the mobility of consumers in these markets has allowed for pan-regional positioning. The Internet is perhaps the strongest force that allows people everywhere to buy and sell. Transportation and communication: Jets allow around the world travel in less than 48 hours. 1970: 75 million international passengers. 2003: 540 million. Airlines sell one another’s seats thanks to modern technology. International phone calls are inexpensive and there are many other ways to communicate including fax, , video conferencing, wi-fi, and broadband Internet. Transportation costs have fallen. Due to specially designed ships, the cost of shipping autos from Japan to the United States is less than the cost to ship from Detroit to either U.S. coast. Intermodal transportation uses 20- to 40-foot containers that may be transferred from trucks to railroad cars to ships. Product Development Costs: New pharmaceutical cost in 1976 = $ 76 million; today = $400 million and up to 14 years to get a drug approved. Pharmaceutical companies go global to spread the costs. However, only 7 countries account for 75 percent of sales. p. 56

Multilateral Agreements NAFTA
The North American Free Trade Agreement or NAFTA is an agreement signed by the governments of Canada, Mexico, and the United States, creating a trilateral trade bloc in North America. The agreement came into force on January 1, 1994. In terms of combined GDP of its members, as of 2010, the trade bloc is the largest in the world.

ASEAN- Other Countries
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations, commonly abbreviated ASEAN is a geo-political and economic organization of ten countries located in Southeast Asia, which was formed on 8 August 1967 by Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand. Since then, membership has expanded to include Brunei, Burma (Myanmar), Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam. Its aims include the acceleration of economic growth, social progress, cultural development among its members, the protection of the peace and stability of the region, and to provide opportunities for member countries to discuss differences peacefully. ASEAN- Other Countries ASEAN has concluded free trade agreements with PR China, Korea, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and most recently India. The agreement with People's Republic of China created the ASEAN–China Free Trade Area (ACFTA), which went into full effect on January 1, In addition, ASEAN is currently negotiating a free trade agreement with the European Union.

World Economic Trends

Leverage

Leverage Global companies possess the unique opportunities to develop leverage. It means the type of advantage that a company enjoys by virtue of the fact that it has experience in more than one country. Experience transfer Scale of Economies Resource Allocation Global strategy

Leverage: Experience Transfers
A global company can leverage its experience in any market in the world. It can draw on management practices, strategies, products, advertising appeals, or sales or promotional ideas that have been tested in actual markets and apply them in other comparable markets. For example, Asea Brown Boveri (ABB), a company with 1,300 operating subsidiaries in 140 countries, has considerable experience with a well-tested management model that it transfers across national boundaries. The Zurich-based company knows that a company's headquarters can be run with a lean staff. When ABB acquired a Finnish company, it reduced the headquarters staff from 880 to 25 between 1986 and Headquarters staff at a German unit was reduced from 1,600 to 100 between 1988 and After acquiring Combustion Engineering (a U.S. company producing power plant boilers), ABB knew from experience that the headquarters staff of 800 could be drastically reduced, in spite of the fact that Combustion Engineering had a justification for every one of the headquarters staff positions. ABB subsidiaries in 140 countries. Very famous for running the operations with the minimum number of staff

Leverage: Scale of Economies
The global company can take advantage of its greater manufacturing volume to obtain traditional scale advantages within a single factory. Also, finished products can be produced by combining components manufactured in scale-efficient plants in different countries. The larger scale of the global company also creates opportunities to improve corporate staff competence and quality.

Leverage : Resource Allocation
A major strength of the global company is its ability to scan the entire world to identify people, money, and raw materials that will enable it to compete most effectively in world markets. Global companies utilizes the resources where there is the greatest opportunity to serve a need at a profit

RESTRAINING FORCES AFFECTING GLOBAL INTEGRATION & GLOBAL MARKETGING
Management myopia & Organizational culture Opposition to globalization Management myopia and organizational culture: Ethnocentric companies will not expand geographically. Managers tend to dictate when they should create strong local teams that they can rely upon for market information. Know-it-all local teams won’t listen to management and all-knowing managers won’t listen to local experts. Successful global companies have learned to integrate global vision and perspective with local market initiative and input. National controls: Every country tries to protect its home industries and services through tariff and non-tariff controls. Thanks to organizations like GATT, WTO, NAFTA, EU, and other economic agreements, tariffs have been largely removed in high-income countries. Non-tariff barriers to trade include “Buy Local” campaigns, food safety rules, and other bureaucratic obstacles. Opposition to Globalization: Globophobia is the term used to describe an attitude of hostility toward trade agreements, global brands, or company policies that appear to result in hardship for some individuals or countries while benefiting others. Opponents to globalization include college or university students, NGOs, and labor unions. Some Americans believe that globalization has sent American jobs—both blue- and white-collar—overseas and also depressed wages at home. In developing countries, many believe that free trade agreements benefit the world’s most advanced countries. An unemployed miner in Bolivia said, “Globalization is just another name for submission and domination. We’ve had to live with that here for 500 years and now we want to be our own masters.” National controls – (to protect local industries) p. 62

Management myopia Management ignores (will not see) the opportunities to peruse global marketing. Global marketing does not work without a strong local team that can provide information about the local market conditions.

Summary Global marketing is the process of focusing resources on global marketing opportunities Goal is to create customer value & competitive advantage by maintaining focus FOUR classifications of management orientation: ethnocentric, polycentric, regiocentric, geocentric Global marketing importance is shaped by a variety of driving & restraining forces

A survey of economic system types The stages of market development The balance of payments

The World Economy—An Overview
In the early twentieth century economic integration was at 10%; today it is 50% EU and NAFTA are very integrated Global competitors have displaced or absorbed local ones Fifty years ago, the auto industry was very different. European automakers such as Renault, Citroen, Peugeot, Morris, Volvo, and others produced vehicles radically different from those of American makers such as Chevrolet, Ford, or Plymouth, or Japanese autos made by Toyota or Nissan. Today, manufacturers make autos for home markets but are increasing global companies with global products.

Centrally planned capitalism Centrally planned socialism
Economic Systems Resource Allocation Market Command Private Resource Ownership State Centrally planned capitalism Market capitalism Market socialism Centrally planned socialism

Market Capitalism Individuals and firms allocate resources
Production resources are privately owned Driven by consumers Government’s role is to promote competition among firms and ensure consumer protection Eg: United States Market capitalism is practiced most around the world, most notably in Western Europe and North America. All market-oriented economies do not function in an identical manner. The United States is characterized by its competitive “free-for-all” and decentralized initiative. Japan is sometimes called “Japan, Inc.” because it has a tightly run, highly regulated economic system that is also market oriented.

Centrally Planned Socialism
Opposite of market capitalism State holds broad powers to serve the public interest; decides what goods and services are produced and in what quantities Government owns entire industries and controls distribution Demand typically exceeds supply Eg: North Korea, Venezuela etc. Marxism is a vanquished economic system. For decades China, the Former Soviet Union, and India used this economic system. All of these countries now have economic reforms that have some degree of market allocation and private ownership.

Centrally Planned Capitalism
Economic system in which command resource allocation is used extensively in an environment of private resource ownership Examples Sweden Japan INDUSTRY SECTOR STATE OWNERSHIP Telecom 45% Airline 21% Banking 20% Alcohol 100% In Sweden, where two-thirds of all expenditures are controlled by the government, resource allocation is more “command” oriented than “market” oriented. Sweden’s “welfare state” has a hybrid system that has elements of both centrally planned socialism and capitalism. China’s Guangdong Province operates within a market system. China’s private sector accounts for 75 percent of total national output. Cuba is one of the last countries to use command allocation approach.

BRIC Since the four BRIC countries are developing rapidly, by 2050 their combined economies could eclipse the combined economies of the current richest countries of the world. These four countries, combined, currently account for more than a quarter of the world's land area and more than 40% of the world's population.

WORLD’S TOP ECONOMIES

Low-Income Countries GNP per capita of $825 or less Characteristics
Limited industrialization High percentage of population involved in farming High birth rates Low literacy rates Heavy reliance on foreign aid Political instability and unrest Concentrated in Sub-Saharan Africa Includes 40 percent of the world’s population. LICs represent limited markets for products with some exceptions. The Bangladesh garment industry shipped $2.4 billion in goods to the United States in GNP is about $380 and garment workers, mostly women, made about $35 a month. The country received preferential treatment under the Multifiber Arrangement trade agreement that expired in Some expect this will lead to a shakedown in the garment industry and cause unemployment and social and political unrest. Some low-income countries have such serious economic, social, and political problems that they represent extremely limited opportunities. Burundi, Rwanda, and Haiti are examples. FSU (former Soviet Union) states present a interesting situation: Income is declining and there is economic hardship. These countries present risk/reward trade-offs. Table 2-3 shows that Tajikistan and Belarus are considered “repressed” in terms of economic freedom. India

Lower-Middle-Income Countries
GNI per capita: $826 to $3,255 Characteristics Rapidly expanding consumer markets Cheap labor Mature, standardized, labor-intensive industries like textiles and toys India is the only BRIC Country China: No democratic reforms. Trading partners are concerned about human rights and intellectual property protection. State leaders must deal with a large bureaucratic system while reforming state enterprises. GM, Ford, Honda, Volkswagon, Motorola, P&G, Avon, Siemens AG, and McDonald’s are investing there. Brazil: Largest country in South America in terms of its economy, population, and geography. It has the richest natural resources in the hemisphere. Hyperinflation is under control and it has liberalized trade policies. Companies doing business there are Whirlpool, Electrolux, Raytheon, Fiat, and Ford. Brazil is a study in contrasts. Horse-drawn carts are common in some parts. Grocery companies use logistics software to route trucks. Many retailers use sophisticated computer systems to maintain control in a volatile financial environment. Former French president Jacques Chirac said, “Geographically, Brazil is part of America. But it’s European because of its culture and global because of its interests.”

Upper-Middle-Income Countries
GNP per capita: $3,256 to $10,065 Characteristics Rapidly industrializing, less agricultural employment Increasing urbanization Rising wages High literacy rates and advanced education Lower wage costs than advanced countries Also called newly industrializing economies (NIEs) Examples: BRCI COUNTRIES ARE BRAZIL, RUSSIA & CHINA In Hungary and other NIEs, many manufacturing companies have received ISO-9000 certification for documenting compliance with quality standards.

High-Income Countries
GNI per capita: $10,066 or more Also know as advanced, developed, industrialized, or postindustrial countries Characteristics Sustained economic growth through disciplined innovation Service sector is more than 50% of GNI Product and market opportunities in a postindustrial society are more heavily dependent on new products and innovations than in industrial societies. Ownership levels of basic products are extremely high in most households. When it is difficult to expand market share, companies must bring new products to market or create new markets for products.

THE OECD

The Triad United States, Western Europe, and Japan
Represents 75% of world income Expanded triad includes all of North America and the Pacific Rim and most of Eastern Europe Global companies should be equally strong in each part The ascendancy of the global economy has been noted by many observers in recent years. One of the most astute is Kenichi Ohmae, former chairman of McKinsey & Company Japan. His 1985 book Triad Power represented one of the first attempts to develop a coherent conceptualization of the new emerging order. Ohmae argued that successful global companies had to be equally strong in Japan, Western Europe, and the United States. These three regions, which Ohmae collectively called the Triad, represented the dominant economic centers of the world. Today, roughly 75 percent of world income as measured by GNP is located in the Triad. Coca-Cola is a example of a company with a balanced revenue stream. Revenue: 25 percent from Asia; 25 percent from Europe, Eurasia, and Middle East; 40 percent from North America

Balance of Payments Record of all economic transactions between the residents of a country and the rest of the world Current account—record of all recurring trade in merchandise and services, and humanitarian aid Trade deficit—negative current account Trade surplus—positive current account Capital account—record of all long-term direct investment, portfolio investment, and capital flows

International finance: An Overview

Overview of International Finance
Foreign exchange makes it possible to do business across the boundary of a national currency Currency of various countries are traded for both immediate (spot) and future (forward) delivery Currency risk adds turbulence to global commerce Foreign exchange is an aspect of global marketing that involves certain financial risks, decisions, and activities that are completely different from those facing a domestic marketer. Those risks can be even higher in developing countries such as Thailand, Malaysia, and South Korea. A country’s central bank can buy or sell currencies in the foreign exchange market and government securities in an effort to influence exchange rates. For example, China bought more than $250 billion in U.S. Treasury bonds between 2001 and Such purchases help ensure that China’s currency is relatively weak compared to the U.S. dollar. Second, some of the trading in foreign exchange markets is to settle accounts for the global trade in goods and services. For example, Porsche, a German company, must exchange U.S. dollars received in U.S. sales to euros. Third, currency speculators also trade in exchange markets.

Balance of Payments A balance of payments (BOP) sheet is an accounting record of all monetary transactions between a country and the rest of the world. These transactions include payments for the country's exports and imports of goods, services, and financial capital, as well as financial transfers. Sources of funds for a nation, such as exports or the receipts of loans and investments, are recorded as positive or surplus items. Uses of funds, such as for imports or to invest in foreign countries, are recorded as negative or deficit items.

Balance of Payments The BOP is divided into 2 accounts
The Current account The Capital account The Current Account: A broad measure that includes merchandise trade and service trade. The Capital Account A record of all long term direct investment, portfolio investment and other short term, long term capital flows Refer Table Page 93

Purchasing Power Parity(PPP)
Purchasing power parity (PPP) is a theory of long-term equilibrium exchange rates based on relative price levels of two countries. The concept is founded on the law of one price, the idea that in absence of transaction costs and official barriers to trade, identical goods will have the same price in different markets when the prices are expressed in terms of one currency.

Purchasing Power Parity(PPP)
A country’s currency is overvalued if the Big Mac price (Converted to dollars) is higher than in the US. A country’s currency is undervalued if the converted Big Price is lower than the US price.

Managing Economic Exposure
Economic exposure refers to the impact of currency fluctuations on the present value of the company’s future cash flows Two categories of economic exposure Transaction exposure is from sales/purchases Real operating exposure arises when currency fluctuations, together with price changes, alter a company’s future revenues and costs The degree to which exchange rates affect a company’s market value as measured by its stock price is known as economic exposure. Transaction exposure example: Guinness agrees to accept payment for Scotch whiskey at one rate but settles at another rate. Real operating exposure occurs for firms with overseas sourcing or manufacturing operations.

Managing Exchange rate Exposure
Hedging Forward & Future Markets Options Call Put

Hedging Hedging exchange rate exposure involves establishing an offsetting currency position such that the loss or gain of one currency position is offset by a corresponding gain or loss in some other currency.

Forwards With a forward contract, the company can lock in a specific fixed exchange rate for a future date and thus immunize itself from the loss ( or gain) caused by the exchange rate fluctuation. In addition to spot prices, 30-, 60- and 180 day forward prices are traded for dozens of world currencies.

Put Options Gives the Holder the right,(not obligation) to sell a specified number of foreign currency units at a fixed price until the options expiration date.

Call Options Gives the holder the right,(not obligation) to buy a specified number of foreign currency units at a fixed price until the options expiration date.
