Abstract

As worldwide negative image of Bangladesh hurts its social and economical development as it is expected, therefore branding would be one of the ideal option for the country to gain a positive image as it has been established by other countries of the world. Searching for ideal products to represent Bangladesh with uniqueness, we have suggested Jute which is the golden fiber of Bangladesh. Jute is integral part of the movement that eventually led to the Independence War of Bangladesh in 1971. Jute is environment friendly alternatives in synthetic world. Use of biodegradable jute from traditional sacks to composite in automobile industry or geo-textile or deforestation paves the way to be substitutes for many synthetic products. Bangladesh has the natural advantage to produce best quality, which no other country can imitate. Authors argue that this uniqueness with environment friendly characteristics of jute makes it the ideal product for ‘Branding Bangladesh.’ Thus integrated policy along with marketing and promotional campaign of jute can bring a positive Bangladesh worldwide.

Introduction

Bangladesh, as a LDC, faces a reputation challenge which is popularly known as its image problem. Bangladesh has gained the image of a country with too many people, too much poverty, too little resources, too frequent disasters, too little ability to change for better (Yunus, 1992). Whenever the international community thinks of Bangladesh, negative impression flashes into their mind and factors like corruption, child labor, underdeveloped human assets, internecine politics, bad investment climate, poor law and order,

    In conducting further research on developing nations, the student focused more on learning about educational growth in these nations, which also had an impact on the business and technological growth in them as well. In an article written by Rossana Patron, titled “Public education in developing countries: Cost-effectiveness of education policies and endowments growth”, it was brought to light the inflow of new workers being dominated by unskilled labor due to high incidence of early dropouts in primary and secondary education (2011, pg. 329). Developing countries also suffered a higher rate of poor performance at fundamental levels of education, due to low quality educational standards being taught. This is turn caused a higher rate of…

    To be cross-cultural, the marketing research project must be conducted across nations or culture groups, rather than across provinces or ethnic groups (Berry, 1980). For the purpose of this review, international marketing research (research dealing with international issues), foreign research (research conducted in a country other than the country of the research-commissioning organization), or multinational research (research conducted in all or all important countries where the company is represented), and other similar terms, will be subsumed under the rubric of cross-cultural research. We do not deny the fine distinctions that can be made among these concepts (e.g. Terpstra and Sarathy, 1990). However, it is not necessary to make these distinctions as the methodological issues we consider apply in varying degrees to all of these types of research. In recent years cross-cultural marketing research has assumed great importance in the academic and business worlds. Academically, cross-cultural research has gained wide acceptance both in international business journals and in specialized journals. A recent review identified 720 articles on the subject that were published in various academic journals between 1980 and 1990 (Aulakh and Kotabe, 1993). Businesswise, the USA accounts for only 39 per cent of the marketing research expenditures worldwide. About 40 per cent of all marketing research is conducted in Western Europe and 9 per cent in Japan. Most of the research in Europe is done in Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, and Spain (Demby, 1990). With the globalization of markets, marketing research has assumed a truly international…

    The government’s new jute policy is expected to focus on enhancement of the country’s production capacity, diversification of the product base and growth of export earnings. It would be good if it were complemented with good corporate governance practices within the remaining BJMC (Bangladesh Jute Mills Corporation) mills to ensure that both public and private mills can compete on equal footing. BJMC’s financial losses continue to be a significant fiscal burden. This has arisen not only from BJMC’s nearly automatic access to loans from the nationalized commercial banks (NCBs) for many years, but also BJMC’s greater control over the purchase price of raw jute and export price for jute goods. These conditions do not create a level playing field for the private mills. Addressing these issues would enhance efficiency and competitiveness of the sector and may…
