Local conventions determine consumers' perceptions of brands entering foreign markets. There are three types of conventions that influence perceptions: category conventions, needs conventions, and cultural conventions. Needs conventions relate to how personal needs are satisfied differently across societies, like fulfilling security needs through road safety features in some countries but not others. Cultural conventions involve shared beliefs, values, and symbols in a society, like perceptions of brands based on their country of origin. Understanding local conventions is important for international branding strategies, to decide whether to adapt a brand or challenge conventions by offering new experiences.
This document provides information about Subway franchises and the Subway brand in India. It begins by defining what a franchise is and explaining that franchising is a business model where a company allows independent operators to use its name and distribute its products. It then provides contact details for Subway Systems India and notes that Subway is committed to making a positive impact. It concludes by detailing Subway's growth in India since opening its first restaurant in 2001, with over 330 locations now, and that while a global brand, Subway in India focuses on local food traditions and preferences by serving no beef or pork and offering many vegetarian options.
A business plan outlines an organization's goals, reasons for believing those goals are attainable, and how they will achieve those goals. It may also provide background on the organization. Business plans can target changes in perception and branding. For major changes or new ventures, a 3 to 5 year plan is required as investors expect returns within that timeframe.
The document discusses strategies for global branding. It notes that companies pursue global branding to benefit from economies of scale, reduce costs, diversify risk, and follow globally mobile customers. An effective strategy is to think globally but act locally - having standardized branding elements but customizing marketing programs for each local market. Companies must balance standardization across markets with customization for local differences in consumers, regulations, and business practices. There are different approaches such as progressively expanding a strategy across countries, simultaneously launching in multiple countries, or unifying existing local brands under one name. Overall, global branding requires understanding differences between markets, establishing infrastructure for coordination, and balancing global versus local control.
DAGMAR is an advertising model proposed in 1961 consisting of 4 steps: Awareness, Comprehension, Conviction, and Action (ACCA). It aims to map the states of mind a consumer passes through when purchasing a product. Key parts are defining the target audience and advertising objectives. The model suggests advertising must first increase awareness, then comprehension through information about the product. It should establish conviction by creating interest and preference. Finally, it should encourage action and actual purchase.
The World Trade Organization (WTO) is an international organization that oversees and liberalizes global trade. It was established on January 1, 1995 under the Marrakech Agreement, replacing the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) formed in 1948. The WTO has 164 member countries and provides a framework for negotiating trade agreements as well as resolving disputes among members.
The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is the rate a company must pay its various security holders to finance its assets. WACC takes into account the different expected rates of return for a company's different sources of financing like equity, preferred equity, debt, etc. weighted by their respective proportions. The formula for WACC is the cost of equity multiplied by the proportion of equity plus the cost of preferred shares multiplied by the proportion of preferred shares plus the after-tax cost of debt multiplied by the proportion of debt.

This document describes a transportation model, a special type of linear programming problem where commodities are shipped from sources to destinations to minimize total shipping costs while meeting supply and demand requirements. It explains that the transportation model can be expressed in a matrix format showing unit shipping costs from suppliers to demanders. The document also outlines the North-West-Corner Method for solving transportation models, which allocates shipments to the northwest corner variable and adjusts remaining supply and demand at each step until all units are allocated.
India has the eleventh largest economy in the world by nominal GDP and third largest by purchasing power parity. It adopted a Soviet-inspired economic model initially but later liberalized its economy under reforms in the 1990s, leading to high growth rates. Strengths include a large workforce, arable land, and educated population. Weaknesses include a large agricultural workforce with low productivity, poverty, and inequality. Opportunities lie in private sector growth, foreign investment, and developing industries like IT and infrastructure. Threats include a global recession, high deficit, volatile oil prices, and population growth issues.
The Red Indians sold Manhattan island to a group of immigrants in 1626 for $24 in beads and trinkets. While this seemed like a very low price, it may not have been as bad a deal for the Red Indians as commonly thought. If the $24 payment was invested at historical interest rates of around 3.5% rather than the 8% used in examples, the future value would only be around $9.3 million today rather than the $75.9 trillion estimated using 8%. Additionally, the analysis ignores the rental income generated from Manhattan land over the past centuries which provided returns for those who purchased the island.
Intellectual property refers to creations of the mind like works, discoveries, inventions, words and designs that are granted exclusive legal rights. Common types of intellectual property include copyrights, trademarks, patents, industrial design rights, and trade secrets. Copyright protects original creative works. Trademarks identify products and services from unique sources. Patents grant exclusive rights to inventors for a limited time. Industrial design rights protect non-utilitarian visual designs. Trade secrets are confidential business information providing an economic advantage.
Market segmentation involves dividing a market into distinct subgroups that have distinct needs, characteristics, or behaviors. Effective segmentation requires groups that are distinct from each other, homogeneous within the group, and respond similarly to market stimuli. While mass marketing treats all consumers alike, segmentation allows targeting specific groups. Key criteria for effective segments include measurability, accessibility, sustainability, and the ability to design appropriate marketing programs for each segment. Common bases for segmentation include geographic, demographic, psychographic, and behavioral factors. Multiple bases can be combined to create hybrid segments. Segmentation provides benefits like improved resource allocation, better positioning, tailored programs, and increased market share.
ITC partnered with Indian farmers for close to a century through initiatives like e-Choupal to provide farmers access to information technology. ITC now works to empower rural communities through creating livelihoods, investing in rainwater harvesting, supporting women entrepreneurs, and improving school infrastructure, impacting nearly 3 million villagers.
Mahindra & Mahindra's K.C. Mahindra Education Trust was established in 1953 to promote education across income levels through scholarships, financial assistance, and recognition. The Trust provides over Rs. 7.5 Crore annually in grants and scholarships and aims to increase support for its Nanhi Kali project for underprivileged girls from 3,300 to 10,000 over 2 years.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
