Introduction
Prince Edward Island Preserve Company is a manufacturing and retail company founded by Bruce McNaughton in 1985. The company manufactures and sells specialty foods with over 80 items made primarily from island produce, including Preserve, sauces and syrups. P.E.I. Preserve products are available through retail, wholesale, mail order catalogues, restaurants and kiosks. Approximately three-quarters of retail sales come from the company’s products. Of these, three-quarters are jam Preserve. The products produced by P.E.I. These preserves are considered of the highest standard of quality with a price attractive to all segments of the marketplace.
Vision – “To produce the best quality preserves in the world.”
Mission – “We, at PEI Preserve strive to enhance the value of life of our customers by providing top quality products as a healthier alternative for our consumers in a professional, effective and efficient way.”
Problem Statement
P.E.I. Preserve Co. is suffering from financial loss due to over and unrelated diversification as well as geographic isolation from both the suppliers and consumers that would allow the company to grow.
Objectives
Financial – Increase sales growth 20% by increasing our market share in North American in the next 2 years.
Strategic – Strengthen the brand preference in Japan and US and add additional markets for its products.

    Japanese consumers simply love new and innovative products, perhaps in response to the rapid modernization that Japan has seen in the post-war era. A common strategy for a Japanese company or an American company wanting to target the Japanese market is to attempt to fill every niche, or to accommodate every possible desire that a consumer may have for variation, the idea being that such a strategy will result in a larger total share of the market.…

    If P&G chooses to focus on Japan, it is possible that they might achieve national brand recognition. However, to become a truly global brand, it is necessary that SK-II enters new markets. Yet, we must bear in mind that there are significant risks in P&G’s first-ever proposal to expand a Japanese brand into foreign markets. These risks are magnified by the vast differences in consumers, distribution channels, competitors, and the political, social and economical systems across borders. Furthermore, P&G’s global organization was currently undergoing a major restructuring program, O2005, which might deter SK-II’s plans.…
