• Business Markets
• Government Markets
P&G in Japan
P&G ignored cultural differences!
• 1972 - P&G is the first company to introduce disposable diapers to Japan– 80% share of market within a year
• 1985 - P&G market share has plunged to 8% and the subsidiary is losing $40 million per year. WHY?
Consumer Markets
• Are consumption patterns converging– The French drink more beer– The Germans drink more wine– The Japanese eat more beef– The Swiss prefer French cheese
But major differences persist…!

Income Distribution
• Government tax policies
• Wealth concentration– Belgium Top 10% = 20% income– Colombia Top 10% = 46% income
The Hidden Economy
• Informal sector = Income not reported to authorities
• Peru’s informal sector =– 42% construction– 45% transportation– 16% manufacturing
Changing Views
Assumption
Economic Development
Informal SectorActivity
Reality = The bulk of new employment in recent years—particularly in developing and transition economies—has been in the informal economy
• Globalization– Loss of employment in formal sector
• Uncompetitive firms fold following liberalization• Uncompetitive firms fold during currency crises
and other global economic shocks– Cost pressures of increased competition
• Core of wage employees and periphery of informal workers
– Information and communications technology • Makes global coordination of informal firms
possible
Informal Sector Growth: Why?
• Institutions– Lack of enforcement institutions and laws against
• Corruption
• Tax evasion
• Labor and health violations
– Red tape of bureaucratic institutions• Role of human nature orientation
– Tax-related institutions• Complex, unfair tax codes
• Lack of effective tax auditing
– Lack of political will to change institutions!
Informal Sector Growth (cont.)
NPR Segment: Caracas
• NPR's Martin Kaste reports on the prevalent black market economy in Caracas, Venezuela. Confronted with a shortage of jobs and economic hardship, many residents of the metropolitan capital area have resorted to joining the so-called "informal economy" in order to make ends meet.– Listen to it at
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1787749
Consumer Needs
• Is Maslow’s hierarchy of needs applicable cross-
culturally?
Self-actualization
Friendship, Love
Safety, Food, Shelter
Physiological Needs
Consumer Behavior
• Cultural differences revisited – Insurance in Muslim countries– Who makes the purchase decision?
• More joint husband-wife decisions in the U.S. than in Venezuela

Global Colors
• The world’s favorite color?– Blue
• But many colors elicit different responses– Purple = Expensive (in Japan, China, South
Korea)
– Purple = Cheap in USA
Segmentation
• A marketing technique that targets a group of customers with specific characteristics
© Diego Azubel/epa/Corbis
Four Characteristics of a Segment
1. Homogeneous characteristics
2. Profit potential
3. Ability to measure group
4. Ability to communicate to group
Three-Step Segmentation Process
• DEFINE:
– Take a look at existing customer list; look for common traits.
– Analyze competitors’ customer profiles
• PROFILE:– Full definition of who the segment is, their buyer
behavior, attitudes/values, lifestyle etc.
• RANK:
– Order of importance for business goals
– Highest profitability, least competition, most in need of product/service
Segmentation
• Segmentation is important for two reasons:1. You don’t need everyone in a country to
buy your product – you just need a large enough segment to purchase your product or service
2. How and how much you adapt your marketing mix depends on the segment that you are targeting in a market
Segmentation (cont.)
• Most segmentation is done at the local level– Should we target French housewives or
French working women?
Global Segments
• Global segment – transnational consumer segment based on age, social class, lifestyle– Convergence of some aspects of buyer
behavior– Cosmopolitans
• But for most products and segmentation schemes, national differences persist
Just-Like-Us Segment
• Just-like-us-segment – segments in international markets that resemble a firm’s domestic buyers– Easier because does not require marketing mix
adaptation
– But may result in few consumers worldwide and limits a firm’s global profit potential
– EXAMPLE – If toy manufacturer only targeted children in China they would miss out on a large segment – adults buying for themselves!

Business Markets
• Yes– It’s cost and performance!
• No– It’s about relationships!
Are business markets less culture-specific than consumer markets?

Business Buyers’ Needs
• The cost-performance criterion is a key consideration for business buyers
• Business buyers in developed countries choose capital intensive technologies
• Capital is cheaper/ labor is more expensive • Business buyers in developing countries
usually choose labor intensive technologies• Labor is cheaper/ capital is more expensive

1995
• Cross-cultural negotiations are a particular challenge
• Russian tactics:– Emotional outburst, falling asleep,
unreasonable requests• Americans like to negotiate clear contracts
while Chinese prefer to establish personal trust relationships
Developing Business Relationships
• National global buyers– Search the world for products used in a single
market
• Multinational global buyers– Search the world for products used throughout
their global operations
• Global account management– Marketers assign special executive or teams to
address demanding global buyers
Global Buyers
Government Markets
• The buying process– Procurement processes vary by country– Some contracts go to the lowest bidder– More sophisticated projects demand more
complicated bidding processes
Marketing to Governments in Developing Countries
• Insert figure 5.2, p. 165 here
Bribery and Government Markets
• Bribery is giving something of value to an individual in a position of trust to influence judgment or behavior
• Government employees are trusted to do what’s best for the public good
• Government corruption is more prevalent in emerging markets
Transparency International
“Corruption is operationally defined as the misuse of entrusted power
for private gain.” (TI web site)
“Transparency can be defined as a principle that allows those affected by administrative decisions, business transactions or charitable work to know not only the basic facts and figures but also the mechanisms and processes. It is the duty of civil servants, managers and trustees to act visibly, predictably and understandably.”
(TI web site)

U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act
• Forbids U.S. citizens to bribe foreign government employees or politicians – or to give money to agents that is subsequently used to bribe
• Citizens must report bribery in their organization
• Records must be transparent and well kept• Failure to comply can result in fines and jail
time !– Lockheed Martin Corp. in Egypt
Expediting Payments
• Small sums paid to civil servants to do their jobs– Unilever and BP Amoco do it!
• Used to avoid delays, not gain an unfair competitive advantage
• Allowed under the U.S. FCPA– But there is pressure to change this
Executives Charged in Foreign Bribery
Twenty-two executives and employees of military and law enforcement products were charged under the FCPA in a sting operation to pay a 20% commission to a sales agent of which half would go directly to the minister of defense of an African country. The maximum prison sentence for each charge under the FCPA is 5 years.

Diaspora Marketing
Case Review
• How and why might diasporans’ ability to buy differ from that of individuals of a similar age who their country of origin or homeland?
• Referring to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, identify and describe the level of needs that the companies featured in this case (Tulumba, Jollibee, Thamel.com, Wizz Air African American Travel Agency, Coptic Orphans) fill for the diasporans who purchase products and services from them.
Diaspora Marketing cont.
Case Review
• Are the companies featured in this case targeting a global segment when they target their diaspora communities? Why or why not?
What Teens Want
Case Review• Would it be useful for certain global
marketers to think of teens as a global segment? Why or why not?
• Suggest ways in which teen consumer behavior is likely to differ between developed and developing countries.
• Why do you think street kids in Brazil are attracted to global brand names?
Case Review• Scenario 1 : Should Thomas give the agent
$1 million to pass on to the cabinet minister?• Scenario 2 : Should David retain the public
relations firm owned by the prime minister’s wife?
• Scenario 3 : Should Michael pay the customs officials to expedite his clients’ goods through customs.
• Scenario 4 : Should Ana allow the sales force to offer “tea money” ?
