11. The Internal Assessment

13. Nestlé describes itself as a food, nutrition, health, and wellness company. Recently they created Nestlé Nutrition, a global business organization designed to strengthen the focus on their core nutrition business. They believe strengthening their leadership in this market is the key element of their corporate strategy.

14. In order to reinforce their competitive advantage in this area, Nestlé created Nestlé Nutrition as an autonomous global business unit within the organization, and charged it with the operational and profit and loss responsibility for the claim-based business of Infant Nutrition, HealthCare Nutrition, and Performance Nutrition.

15. The Corporate Wellness Unit was designed to integrate nutritional value-added in their food and beverage businesses. This unit is responsible for coordinating horizontal, cross-business projects that address current customer concerns as well as anticipating future consumer trends.

16. Nestlé’s competitive strategies are associated mainly with foreign direct investment in dairy and other food businesses. Nestlé aims to balance sales between low risk but low growth countries of the developed world and high risk and potentially high growth markets of Africa and Latin America.

17. When operating in a developed market, Nestlé strives to grow and gain economies of scale through foreign direct investment in big companies. In the developing markets, Nestlé grows by manipulating ingredients or processing technology for local conditions, and employ the appropriate brand.

18. Another strategy that has been successful for Nestlé involves striking strategic partnerships with other large companies. In the early 1990s, Nestlé entered into an alliance with Coca Cola in ready-to-drink teas and coffees in order to benefit from Coca Cola’s worldwide bottling system and expertise in prepared beverages.

19. In Asia, Nestlé’s strategy has been to acquire local companies in order to form a group of autonomous regional managers who know more about the culture of the local markets than Americans or Europeans. Nestlé’s strong cash flow and comfortable debt-equity ratio leave it with ample muscle for takeovers.

20. Marketing Target Market  Male and Female; Have many brands and products to meat the taste of each type of consumers. Have high allocation of advertising budget for endorser contract, TVC, print ads, and sponsorship activities. Have top endorsers who have a good image in the soap industry.
