    Mgt599 Case 3

    In the summer of 2011, corporate giant Kraft Foods surprised Wall Street by announcing that it would split itself in two. One company, which would keep the current moniker, would operate in North American grocery business and include iconic brands like Kraft Macaroni & Cheese, Oscar Mayer meats and Maxwell House coffee. The other company would be tagged with Mondelez International and it would consist of the global snack business that includes tasty brands such as Oreo cookies and Trident gums, as well as the numerous brands that came with the 2010 Cadbury acquisition (Woods, 2012).…

    Financial Resources – Kraft has undoubtedly had a financial transformation; with the acquirement of Cadbury it has opened unlimited doors for growth and revenue’s are surely going to soar.

    Cadbury to Be Swallowed Whole

    2. Kraft’s marketing strategy will benefit significantly from buying Cadbury in two different ways. Firstly, when we look at the brand portfolio of Kraft, which is the world’s second biggest food company. It is clear that there are plenty of old-timer cash cows, such as cheese, Nabisco and Suchard, but there are only very few rising stars. According to the Boston Matrix, cash cow means a product with a high share of a slow growth market, which can generate a stable profit. Stars are the products that are in high growth markets with a relatively high share of that market of that market. In this case, The cash cows of Kraft would be Maxwell House Coffee, Toblerone chocolate which can generate a stable profit but no growth. On the other hand, There is a star product in Cadbury, which is the chewing gum business ( Trident and Trebor Mint Gum ) in a high growth market with a relatively high share. And Cadbury also owns a number of long-established brands, its chewing gum business is regarded as having huge growth potential. Therefore, I think Kraft would definitely benefit from buying Cadbury with it’s chewing gum business, because stars tend to generate high amounts of income in a high growth market. Secondly, Kraft generates 80% of all its profit in America, and its stuck at home while the biggest areas for future growth would be china, India and other developing countries. Cadbury generates only 30% of its income in Britain, and also a major brand in Brazil and India. In the first half of 2009, 69% of its sales growth came from ‘emerging markets’, which I think Cadbury is having a better performance than Kraft’s. Because Cadbury has made a huge success in those developing countries, like India…

    Philip Morris - Kraft Case

    In this case, we will analyse how a hostile takeover creates benefits for both parties. The hostile takover approach can be considered as ”taking over a company with a hostile manner” but with the offers and deals, it becomes a solution to many different structures within the company. The decisionmaking through a case as this requires experienced, rational management skills to take the right position with a right choice. The one of the world’s biggest packed food company, Kraft Foods Inc. has so many innovations and mergers on the same sector. Kraft has been started to work on the cheese sector and generated many enterpreneurships of their own sector. This shows us how Kraft is a profitable company and their management tries to stimulate the market share of the company which is reaching the top. Also they are considered that one of the biggest prime company in the world. Mostly, the products of Kraft are based on packed food.

    Compare Kraf Kraft Foods

    Kraft is a well known name in many American household. The company carries 27 different brands. On their group website the company states that, 80% of their sales are in categories where they hold the #1 or # 2market position. This company clearly wants to monopolize the industry they are in. It seems to me that they are doing a good job of that with 98% of Americans having at least one of the brands in their pantry (Kraft Foods Group 2013). That is a powerful statement. I think this company is looking to do the same in other countries. With the internet being in so many household it is only a matter of time before the whole world is staring at a Kraft food product in their…
