Entry Strategies

Challenge :
Demanding markets, culture and environments

Opportunity :
Don’t Build A Car When You Need A Bullock Cart

Don’t Build A Car When You Need A Bullock Cart
?

Less is more
?

Product formulation and design must reflect the environment
Poor infrastructure - strip things down to basics

?

?

People don’t need advanced functions – they need to get work done . Eg: Simputer -India

?

Low price doesn’t mean low quality
?

Emerging market customers expect the most from their meager resources. Eg: Grameen Bank housing -Bangladesh

Don’t Build A Car When You Need A Bullock Cart (cont.)
?

Look at the deeper meaning of products
?

Products may have deeper meanings than their intended use Address deeper elements of culture and religion Eg: talking Farah dolls - Middle East

?

?

?

No customer culture
?

Lack an understanding of consumerism
Need to be educated about how to be customers

?

?

Eg: Spice Jet

Challenge: Rapidly changing markets

Opportunity: Connect Brands to the market

Connect Brands to the Market
?

There is no such thing as an ‘Indian’ or ‘Chinese’ market
?

Every national market is made up of several highly unique and fragmented markets

?

Local brands thrive
Tailor brand to individual markets Use the national/regional language

?

Localize the brand
?

?

Eg: MTV Asia

Connect Brands to the Market (cont.)
?

Use local brands to establish market presence
?
?

Use the existing goodwill
Find brands that reflect the spirit of the company

?

Grow local brands when possible
?
?

Acquiring local brands may be expensive
Create brands to counter well established local brands in their own market. Eg: Coca Cola’s Tian Yu Di

?

Brands mean something different in emerging markets
?

Global brands may benefit because of their foreignness. Eg: Pizza Hut Or they may lose in areas where they are not recognized

?

Challenges:
Youthful and Growing Populations

Opportunities: Think Young

Think Young

Huge market for entertainment, apparel, computers, fashion and other such youthful products and services Young celebrity endorsements. Eg: Fastrack watches –MTV India VJs

Think Young (cont.)

Eg: Community Internet for youth in the Dominican Republic Although plugged into global culture, youth are deeply rooted in their own culture and tradition Individualism ranks higher than communities Global theme, local feel

?

‘Dual passports’
?

? ?

Challenges: Limited Income and Space

Opportunity: Grow Big by Thinking Small

Grow Big By Thinking Small

Allow customers to get a wide choice of products for their scarce resources
What one customer may not be able to afford, several customers together can Eg: E-Choupal

Create markets in the gaps
Find ways to fill gaps in infrastructure

?

Digitize and MPower
? ?

Challenge:
Weak Supply and Distribution Channels

Opportunity: Take the Market to the People

Take the Market to the People:
?

Position for the smallest shop owner
?

? ?

The organized retail sector in emerging markets is often only 28% of total Small stores number in the millions and have greater reach Eg: the kirana stores of India

?

Build strong supply and distribution channels
? ?

Distribution systems are only just being developed Look for local or entrepreneurial networks that help understand and connect to local markets

Take the Market to the People (cont.)
?

Take the bank out of the

branch
?

Finance and credit options scarce, but very important in emerging markets Banks need to reach the smallest customer to tap ‘Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid’ Eg: Micro Credit in Africa

?

tomorrow, they are the future.
And the companies that can develop the right solutions to meet their needs will find a rich

source of growth."
