Global Strategy

Globalization: the standardization of product design and advertising strategies around

the world (Theory : people everywhere want to buy the same products and live the same way. Ex: People everywhere want to drink Coca-Cola and wear Levi’s jeans).
Multi-domestic: the modification of product and promotion for each country (a multinational company is present in many countries, but it encourages marketing, advertising & product design to be modified and adapted to the specific needs of each country).
Transnational: seeks to achieve both global integration and national responsiveness (a true transnational strategy is difficult to achieve)

Purpose of Strategy

The plan of action that prescribes resource allocation

& other activities that help the organization attain its goals
Strategies focus on:
Core competence (something the organization does especially well in comparison to its competitors)
Develop synergy (occurs when organizational parts interact to produce a joint effect that is greater than the sum of the parts acting alone. Can also be obtained by good relations between suppliers & customers & by strong alliances among companies)
Create value for customers (combination of benefits received and costs paid by the customer. Managers need to understand which parts of the company’s operation create value and which do not – a company can be profitable only when the value it creates is greater than the cost of resources)
