    Global Marketing: Burberry in China, PESTLE analysis

    Burberry need to scan their market segments in order to gain the most competitive advantage. Pestle analysis looks at the political, economic, social, technological, legal and environmental factors that affect an organisation providing a ‘comprehensive list of influences on the possible success or failure of strategies’ (Johnson, Whittington, Scholes, 2011). However, the three main changes that focused on in this essay are Economic, Social and Environmental factors. The economy within China is currently very stable; being a part of the 4 fastest growing economies in the world (BRIC: Brazil, Russia, India, China), it has made large strides in recent years in the business and industrial sector. , the country has sustained a continual rapid growth in term of GDP per person, indicating that each people is creating more and more values to the society resulting in the increase of the individual consumers’ purchasing power. Though the economic situation is seems to be good, the economic development does slow down a little and also with worrying trends such as high inflation rate and high property prices. According to the most recent news, the consumer price index rose 6.1 per cent from a year earlier in September, down from a three-year high of 6.5 per cent in July. Politically sensitive food prices, however, increased by more than 13 per cent. The overall economy has now slowed for three consecutive quarters. In this case, if Burberry were to expand into China they would need to be aware of the fluctuations within China over inflation rates; this has caused ripples in consumerism, as more people are saving money for necessities.…

    Lemonade: The Rise And Fall Of The Spice Industry

    "We live in a world where lemonade is made from artificial flavoring and furniture polish is made from real lemons," said Mad Magazine's Alfred E. Neuman. Throughout history, the spice industry has evolved from primitive humans flavoring meat with leaves, to multi-billion dollar companies injecting chemical compounds into common foods; from tasting a few minute grains on entrées to feeling a discharge of natural and artificial flavors from exquisite candies, and from scavenging the world for priceless spices to inspecting every ingredient for harmful side-affects.…

    The Chinese Luxury Market

    Up to now, Chinese bourgeoisie swore only by the famous international luxury brands such as LouisVuitton, Hermes or BMW. Today, some Chinese brands are trying to conquer a piece of the enormous cake: China will represent 20% (27 billion dollars) of the worldwide luxury market by 2015,. Watches, cosmetics, jewelry, spirits or clothing: here nine brands Qeelin NE Tiger Moutai Shang Xia Longio Hongqi Chow tai fook Herborist Dorian Ho which start to emerge and which hope to regild the image of the “made in China”. The brand Shang Xia was created by the French group Hermes to conquer the Chinese market only. For that, Hermes recruited the designer Jiang Qiong, also chairman of the company whose Hermes owns 90%. With 60% foreign customers with 40% Chinese , Shang Xia as well sells cashmere coats , furniture with zitan (an invaluable wood), or tea sets.

    Chinese Business

    It is often argued that when business persons of different cultures negotiate commercial deals, there is bound to be a culture clash. I disagree with this view. It is true that cultural differences influence business negotiations but with the appropriate approach to deal with the differences, culture clash is to be least expected in any business negotiations, especially with the Chinese. As Sun Tzu would advised in his book The Art of War “Know your enemy and know yourself and you will win all battles” (Sun Tzu 1913). According to Newstrom and Davis (2002) there are many striking differences across countries, just as there are some surprising similarities. Clearly, residents of each country have their own preferences for clothes, food, recreation, and housing. In his research about national cultures of sixty countries, Hofstede (1993) revealed that cultures differ in five key factors namely, individualism/collectivism, power distance, uncertainty avoidance, masculinity/femininity, and time orientation. Among these factors, the Chinese have the culture that value clarity and have the kind of orientation that accent values such as necessity of preparing for the future, the value of thrift and savings, and the merits of persistence. Literatures on different cultures also classify China as high-context culture which tends to emphasize personal relations, place value on trust, focus on non-verbal cues, and accent the need to attend to social needs before business matters (Newstrom and Davis 2002). Culture is very important in certain country such as China. Huntinghon (2000) as cited by Fellner (2008) defined culture as the values, attitudes, beliefs, and underlying assumptions prevalent among people in a society. He stressed that culture is dynamic, interactive, and synergistic, and intermixes with all the elements of the society such as business and economic development (Huntinghon 2000; Fellner…

    hongkong food history

    The colony of Hong Kong was founded in 1831, which caused British and Western merchants to relocate there for the business opportunities. Over time, Hong Kong developed and there became a greater need for places to allow entertainment for the many businessmen in the colony. There were some Chinese restaurants that were founded at the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century that were branch offs of the well known established restaurants. These places offered meals that were elaborate and enjoyable. For the Chinese who were not merchants, eating out in a restaurant was unheard of, so they simply enjoyed the food of peasants.…
