Benefit Positioning – This factor measures how a team’s choice of SKUs reflects the demand for that benefit in the marketplace. Full credit can only be received if the SKU benefit is advertised and meets a minimum threshold for budget.
Creative Execution – This factor measures how appropriate a firm’s message is for a culture and country. Full credit (100) if new ad, right culture, right language. Multiple ads are weighted by budget.
Price Positioning – Must have 4 SKUs for this factor to be calculated. Basically checks the pricing vs. expected pricing in the market. Is the firm’s pricing consistent across SKUs? This factor makes sure that large tubes are more than medium, that multi-ingredient formulations are more than economy, etc.
Sales Leadership – Your relative market share x 100 with max of 100.Share of Mind – A combination of your relative awareness vs. the leading awareness in a category as well as absolute awareness.

Overall (Regional) BEI Index
BEI Criteria Measures
Product Standardization
Measures the degree to which a firm’s products are standardized by comparing unique SKUs introduced to total SKUs introduced. If SKUs are the same across all countries entered, then the score is 100. Minimum of two countries and 4 unique SKUs for this factor to be calculated.
Regional Diversification
This measures the extent to which sales come from different countries. Must be in at least 2 countries to for this measure to be calculated. As sales are spread more evenly from all countries, this measure increases to a max of 100.
Consolidating Brand Equity
Weighted average of brand equity for all six countries. Weight is based on industry sales of that country.
Overall Brand EquityCombines the consolidated brand equity with the product standardization and regional diversification measures.
