Macroeconomics Basic Elements Of Supply & Demand Chap3Ashar Azam
1) Firms produce goods and services and households consume them in a circular flow of economic activity. Goods and services are exchanged in output markets while inputs like labor, capital and land are exchanged in input markets.
2) The quantity demanded by households depends on price, income, wealth, tastes and expectations. The quantity supplied by firms depends on price and costs of inputs.
3) Market equilibrium is reached where quantity demanded equals quantity supplied. Changes in demand or supply can shift this equilibrium point to a new price and quantity.

This document provides an overview of a content analysis study of TV commercials from PepsiCo and Coca-Cola aired in Pakistan from 2010 to 2021. The study aims to analyze the explicit and implicit messages in the advertisements and how they represent cultural norms over time. The methodology involves qualitative analysis of 12 TV commercials based on cultivation theory. Key findings indicate that the advertisements effectively adapted to local Pakistani culture and ethics without violating norms. They represented shifting trends towards modernization while maintaining traditions. The ads incorporating themes like family, religion, and community had strong positive impacts on viewers.
This document discusses how culture impacts consumer behavior. It defines culture as the learned beliefs, values, and customs that guide a society's consumption attitudes and behaviors. Culture acts as an "invisible hand" that influences perceptions and satisfies needs through norms learned via language, symbols, and rituals. While static in some ways, culture also evolves dynamically based on changing technologies, values, and customs exchanged between societies. Marketers analyze culture using content analysis of communications and fieldwork to understand prevailing values and how consumers enact cultural rituals. Surveys also measure individuals' held values to aid marketer's cultural understanding of consumers.
Impact of culture on international marketingAnu Damodaran
Culture has a significant impact on international marketing. Geert Hofstede identified five cultural dimensions that influence behavior: power distance, individualism vs collectivism, masculinity vs femininity, uncertainty avoidance, and long-term orientation. Elements of culture like values, attitudes, beliefs, language, and social norms shape consumption processes including access, buying behavior, product use, and disposal. Marketers must understand how cultural factors influence thinking, decisions, and preferences to develop effective marketing strategies for different countries and regions. Failing to consider cultural differences can lead to embarrassing mistakes in international markets.
Culture can be defined as the set of understandings shared by a community, including values, ideas, perceptions, and codes of conduct. This document discusses several aspects of culture, including value systems, norms, aesthetics, customs, and language. It provides examples of how different cultures approach concepts like eye contact, colors, and hygiene. The document also summarizes several models for understanding cultural dimensions, such as Hofstede's model of power distance, uncertainty avoidance, individualism vs collectivism, and masculinity. Trompenaar's 7 dimensions model is also briefly outlined.
Global brands face challenges in expanding to new markets that have different cultures. While products that succeeded in Western markets in the past could sometimes be easily adapted to other countries, today's globalism requires understanding local differences. Companies must ensure their offerings are culturally appropriate for target markets. Both product-focused and culture-focused research are needed to understand consumers, but each has advantages and limitations. Successful companies coordinate globally while allowing local responsiveness in areas like product delivery and marketing.
Ibahrine Chapter 1 The Paradoxes In Global Marketing Communicationibahrine
The document discusses several paradoxes in global marketing and advertising, including:
1) Economic globalization is accompanied by increased focus on local identity as belonging becomes more important.
2) Convergence of technology goes hand in hand with divergence in how technology is used across cultures.
3) There is debate around standardizing vs. adapting marketing and advertising approaches for different regions and cultures.

This document provides an overview of cultural aspects relevant to international trade. It discusses how culture influences consumer behavior and business practices. The presentation aims to help attendees recognize how cultural dimensions shape international trade, understand challenges of cultural differences, and prepare to conduct business safely abroad. Culture is defined as shared systems among group members that include attitudes, beliefs, values, and social institutions. Cultural norms vary greatly between high and low context communication cultures.
Global marketers must study and understand the cultures of countries where they do business to avoid viewing those cultures through the lens of their own cultural values. Culture is comprised of both physical and nonphysical aspects like customs, religion, and attitudes that are shaped by social institutions and differ across societies. When marketing globally, firms must consider how cultural factors like context, values, aesthetics, language, and traditions can impact whether consumers adopt innovations.

Customer Decision Making Style, Based On Bugis –Makassar Culture in Indonesiainventionjournals
This document summarizes a research article about customer decision making styles based on the Bugis-Makassar culture in Indonesia. The article explores how cultural characteristics and desires of consumers in Makassar, influenced by the Bugis culture, impact their purchasing decisions. Previous research on consumer decision making has focused on demographic and economic factors or compared decision making across different countries and cultures. However, there is a lack of research specifically examining decision making based on the local Bugis-Makassar culture. The article aims to address this gap by exploring the customer decision making model and factors considered in the purchase process according to the Bugis-Makassar cultural background. Understanding local cultural influences can help marketers better predict customer

Managing the Outsourcing_Cultural sensitivity GTTSlide
The document discusses cultural sensitivity in business and managing outsourcing processes. It defines cultural sensitivity as being aware, acknowledging, and respectful of other cultures. It discusses Hofstede's framework for understanding cultural differences based on dimensions like individualism/collectivism, uncertainty avoidance, and long/short term orientation. Companies are advised to provide cultural sensitivity training and overseas assignments to prepare their workforce for managing outsourcing and working across cultures.
The document discusses the relationship between culture and advertising. It provides examples of how McDonald's and Kellogg's had to adapt their marketing and products to local cultures internationally. McDonald's offers different menu items tailored to local tastes, such as a Maharaja Mac in India. Kellogg's corn flakes failed in India as Indians prefer warm milk with sugar, whereas the corn flakes are meant for cold milk. The document emphasizes that understanding local cultural values, behaviors and preferences is critical for effective advertising and product success globally.
The document discusses several key concepts related to culture and international marketing:
- It defines culture and explains that culture consists of learned behaviors and mental programming shared by a group. It influences human behavior.
- It outlines several manifestations of culture including symbols, heroes, rituals, values, and norms.
- There are differences between explicit and implicit culture, and technical, formal, and informal cultural norms.
- Cultural diversity exists both externally in markets and internally in multinational companies.
- Culture can be transferred between generations through socialization or between adults through acculturation.

From Hope to Despair: The Top 10 Reasons Businesses Ditch SEO Tactics
Are you tired of seeing your business's online visibility plummet from hope to despair? When it comes to SEO tactics, many businesses find themselves grappling with challenges that lead them to abandon their strategies altogether. In a digital landscape that's constantly evolving, staying on top of SEO best practices is crucial to maintaining a competitive edge.
In this blog, we delve deep into the top 10 reasons why businesses ditch SEO tactics, uncovering the pain points that may resonate with you:
1. Algorithm Changes: The ever-changing algorithms can leave businesses feeling like they're chasing a moving target. Search engines like Google frequently update their algorithms to improve user experience and provide more relevant search results. However, these updates can significantly impact your website's visibility and ranking if you're not prepared.
2. Lack of Results: Investing time and resources without seeing tangible results can be disheartening. The absence of immediate results often leads businesses to lose faith in their SEO strategies. It's important to remember that SEO is a long-term game that requires patience and consistent effort.
3. Technical Challenges: From site speed issues to complex metadata implementation, technical hurdles can be daunting. Overcoming these challenges is crucial for SEO success, as technical issues can hinder your website's performance and user experience.
4. Keyword Competition: Fierce competition for top keywords can make it hard to rank effectively. Businesses often struggle to find the right balance between targeting high-traffic keywords and finding less competitive, niche keywords that can still drive significant traffic.
5. Lack of Understanding of SEO Basics: Many businesses dive into the complex world of SEO without fully grasping the fundamental principles. This lack of understanding can lead to several issues:
Keyword Awareness: Failing to recognize the importance of keyword research and targeting the right keywords in content.
On-Page Optimization: Ignorance regarding crucial on-page elements such as meta tags, headers, and content structure.
Technical SEO Best Practices: Overlooking essential aspects like site speed, mobile responsiveness, and crawlability.
Backlinks: Not understanding the value of high-quality backlinks from reputable sources.
Analytics: Failing to track and analyze data prevents businesses from optimizing their SEO efforts effectively.
6. Unrealistic Expectations and Timeframe: Entrepreneurs often fall prey to the allure of quick fixes and overnight success. Unrealistic expectations can overshadow the reality of the time and effort needed to see tangible results in the highly competitive digital landscape. SEO is a long-term strategy, and setting realistic goals is crucial for success.

2. Definition of Culture
• “Culture is the collective programming of the human mind.”
Hofstede (1991)
• Culture in this sense is a system of collectively held values.
Culture is everything that people have, think, and do as
members of their society, which demonstrating that culture
is made up of
– Material objects
– Ideas, values, attitudes and beliefs
3. First of all
• There is nothing good or bad about Culture.There are only differences.
• Understanding Cultural differences are often the determining factor in
success or failure in business
4. Cultural
Adaptation
• Cultural Adaptation is the process of “adjusting the native ways
of thinking and behaviors to be consistent with the local culture”
(Kotler, 1982).
• AdaptationVs Standardization
• You can either stick to your firms original characteristics
when expanding (standardization approach) or you can
adapt to the new culture (adaptation approach).
13. Culture can work For or Against
Companies
• For:
– If a Chinese company wants to expand into North
America it could take advantage of cultural
celebrations like Halloween
• Against:
– If an American company goes into China but ignores
the value of selling items targeted towards Singles Day
14. Conclusion
• Most evidence shows that firms that expand need to use a strategy
of cultural adaptation rather standardization
• A good example of this is McDonald’s –They have made significant
changes on their products and service based on the local taste,
values, custom, dining habits and language in the countries they
operate in.

Same Clown?

Editor's Notes
Culture is basically the personality of a society
There are universal values that extend across cultures.
For example, happiness and family are shared values.
However, what makes us happy is different, different across cultures and even across subcultures.
The potato might be common (happiness value) but how it is transformed is different - McAlloo Tikki, Hashbrowns, Nori Fries, Honey Butter Fries, only simply, Fries!
