“Long gone are the days when global companies could charge Asians a premium to buy products designed for consumers in developed markets. It’s not enough even to tweak existing product lines for Asian sensibilities. Success now requires the ability not only to understand regional and local tastes and preferences but also to design products and services in Asia”
(Todd Guild, “Think regionally, act locally: Four steps to reaching the Asian consumer”, McKinsey Quarterly 2009 Nr.9, p.31)
… And increasingly these consumers are found outside Europe!
Developing successful solutions to address specific challenges requires proximity to consumers…
