Suppose you are a manager for a multinational company that produces a variety of beauty products. Heartland Company was founded

in 1942 and began making shampoo and soap products. Heartland, headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, now sells hair care, soap, and makeup products in 22 countries across the globe. Heartland holds the majority market share in the U.S. and is largely regarded as a trend-leader in hair and beauty products. As the Global Brand Vice President, you have been tasked with taking the brand to Brazil, considered to be a large cosmetics market in the next few years. The Brazilian cosmetics and hair care market is largely dominated by Belleza who currently holds a 60% market share. Belleza is marketed toward young, fashion-forward women. The second largest company, Botánico, holds just a 20% share of the market. Your research suggests that while Botánico has efficient manufacturing and distribution, young consumers see them as being a brand for their mothers and grandmothers.
Given the information above, what is the best market entry strategy for this company?

a. Partnership
b. Exporting
c. Outsourcing

Answer:

a. Partnership

Explanation:

Brazil is a market that can be tricky if exporting is used. Botanico is struggling at 2nd position with only 20% share but are efficient in manufacturing and distribution which can be utilized by Heartland. Heartland is known as trend setter which is something Botanica lacks currently to woo the young women and girls into buying their products A partnership would simply result that competitive edges of both the parties can be employed together to win over the market.

A company has the following account balances: Sales revenue $2,000,000: Sales Returns and Allowances $250,000: Sales Discounts $
Naily [24]

Answer:

0.25 or 25%

Explanation:

The computation of the gross profit rate is shown below:

Gross profit rate = Gross profit ÷ Net sales revenue

where,

Net sales revenue = Sales revenue - Sales Returns and Allowances - Sales Discounts

= $2,000,000 - $250,000 - $50,000

= $1,700,000

And, the Cost of goods sold is $1,275,000

So, the gross profit is

= $1,700,000 - $1,275,000

= $425,000

So, the gross profit rate is

= $425,000 ÷ $1,700,000

= 0.25 or 25%

What would you do if you were in the position of the business executives described in the “gift giving and the african elder” ca
lubasha [3.4K]
The business executives were further complicating a situation that was even that complicated to begin with. Tribal elder or not, the business executives were informed that the man was a tribal elder, thus following through with the gift giving customs. This type of act walks hand and hand with the philosophy behind sending something a card. This act should be seen as an act of respect and continued growth, nothing more. This gift should not have been foreseen as an unethical compromise of any <span>kind, but rather a token of appreciation.
