The document summarizes marketing strategies for foreign companies entering China's beer market in the 1990s. It notes that foreign brewers like Heineken and Carlsberg entered China but suffered major losses as Chinese consumers preferred cheaper local brands. The document then analyzes reasons for the foreign brewers' failure, including misunderstanding market dynamics, overestimating premium market size, and not accounting for local brand loyalty. It concludes that recent successful reentries involve foreign brewers acquiring Chinese brands for mass distribution while maintaining international premium brands.

South African agriculture faces a significant challenge in terms of visibility in both export and local markets. As markets become more competitive and clients become more demanding, market participants must work harder to secure their competitive (market) relationships. One way in which to meet this challenge, is through effective branding.
Sectoral branding, as is being undertaken in the case of agriculture, is a collaborative process between government and the private sector, aimed at managing perceptions of local consumers, policy makers and export markets to maximise opportunities available to industry participants. Sectoral branding may be regarded as a subdivision of nation branding. Nation branding aims to measure, build and manage the reputation of countries (closely related to place branding), whereas sectoral branding refers to the same process, however, as applied in the context of a given economic sector.
The document discusses the need for high-net worth families to have backup plans that include additional residence and citizenship options.

The document also notes that countries have always faced unknown unknown threats, so backup plans provide critical safety nets for families against unpredictable events.

Globalization refers to the increasing interconnection of countries through trade, communication and culture. Advances in transportation and telecommunication infrastructure, particularly the internet, have facilitated the globalization process. Globalization in the film industry has led Hollywood films to dominate box offices worldwide, though some local film industries have persisted.

Wrigley has dominated the global gum market for over 100 years but faces new challenges adapting to changing consumer preferences and increasing competition.

Wrigley's strengths include strong brands and R&D but it relies heavily on the US market and faces threats from low-cost competitors.
