is….

Question

used to identify threats and weaknesses which is used in a SWOT

analysis.What is this analysis????

Pestle Analysis

PESTLE analysis……

•Political factors.• Economical factors.• Social factors.• Technological factors.• Legal factors.• Environment factors.

• Political factors.Since the company has to deal with many diversified communities it

has to consider the different factors like- it has to build the plant according to a country’s political stability, good tax incentive, skilled workforce and the like.

For ex. it has chosen Malaysia to be the regional manufacturing centre for NESCAFE, it should be very careful dealing with Emerging economies for political stability is weak.

Pestle Analysis

• Political factors.• Economical factors.

It has started preparations of the beverages, baby food, pet food and the like. And its also working in more than 85 countries and hence the economical factor comes in. It also requires profits. Due to different economic policies in different countries it has got problem to meet all the customers and also that cost of raw material also increased.

Pestle Analysis

• Political factors.• Economical factors.• Social factors.

Education level had increased in the developing and developed nations the people are aware of the quality of the products. Since the Nestlé is an MNC is has to maintain the international standards in production. And in has. And also that the culture difference will be there in different countries to which it has to give respect to.

For example, Kit-Kat's formula is almost different everywhere. A Russian Kit-Kat is smaller than a Bulgarian, but less sweet than Germany's Kit-Kat. While in Japan, the strawberry Kit-Kat is all the rage.

Pestle Analysis

• Political factors.• Economical factors.• Social factors.• Technological factors.

The impact of the IT development in the market had created a new approach to people respond to the ADVT., so to transform people to leads and then to prospect is entirely depends on the technology. E-commerce has grown into a giant in the economy so it has to cope with the rivals..

Recent study had shown that Nestlé had been using the efficient processes which have reduced the wastage..

Pestle Analysis

• Political factors.• Economical factors.• Social factors.• Technological factors.• Legal factors.

Nestlé has to face the labour laws of the different countries and has to abide by the minimum wages to be given to workers. It should also abide by the rules and regulations in time of setting up also. It should also need to protect the trademark and should not imitate the other ones.

Pestle Analysis

• Political factors.• Economical factors.• Social factors.• Technological factors.• Legal factors.• Environment factors.

There always been problems with environment with all the MNCs for their interest lies in the profits and not the environment. So all the governments will impose some of the restrictions on the company or the product. The certificate for environment is ISO-14000 where as ISO-9000-9003 will deal on quality of the product…

ProductPricePromotionPlace

4Ps

4Ps•Product

Product in the international marketing is the extent to which the product is standard and differentiated.

Ex. Nestlé is using the differentiated products of Kit-Kat in different flavours for different countries. A Russian Kit-Kat is smaller than a Bulgarian, but less sweet than Germany's Kit-Kat. While in Japan, the strawberry Kit-Kat is all the rage.

•PromotionPromotion basically means putting forth its own products.So Nestlé promotes its products through advertisement, direct

marketing, personal selling, sales promotion. This will ensure that children will get attracted and would want to have it.

4Ps

4Ps

•PriceInternational Price for any product depends on the various

factors like- trade between the countries, exchange rates, tariffs, taxes, government regulation, competition.

Thus Nestlé prices the product with regard to all these things and the price will change from country to country.

4Ps

4Ps

•PlacePlace means how does any company place its product or

distributes. This step is difficult because the company is based in home country but has to control the overseas subsidiaries.

For ex. Nestlé may hire a local person to take the charge of the subsidiary if any problem arises with regard to warehousing or selling markets.
