12. Investing In Emerging Markets

• “Nestle will receive $28.1 billion from Novartis for its majority
stake in Alcon, the maker of Opti-Free contact lens cleaners,
giving it a cash pile exceeding the $26.5 billion that Google
had on its books at the end of March. The Swiss company is
starting a new 10 billion-franc buyback programme, though
Nestle would rather invest in its business or make
acquisitions”
– CFO Jim Singh said on June 22

13. Investing in Emerging Markets

• “Nestle may purchase bottled water businesses in markets
such as China”
• Frits van Dijk, head of Nestle’s Asian business, on June

selling nutrition products for athletes, such as PowerBar”
• Nestle Nutrition CEO Richard Laube
• Start cheap and introduce luxury later

Strategy to work effectively
• Flexibility is another distinctive competencies which Nestle
company was able to achieve to react as quickly as possible to
changing environments.
• As a consequence, company was able to respond to changes in
local demand, cultural barriers and political fluctuation.
• Ethnocentric behavior must be avoided in any circumstances in
order to approach the market in the appropriated .

15.

• The Nestle company uses that approach in order to the
convenient fact that the consumer is easier to reached
because he is accustomed to this brand name and they
think they know what they are buying.
• The Nestle strategy was to be cultural awareness, which
means a company should employ locals in order lower
cultural barriers and resentments established by the
foreigner.
• Nestle believes that, the key to their success is
customization rather than exaggerated globalization.
