  1. Growth Imperative • Pure Life spring water for developing markets in a important growth opportunity. Sales were around 3 billion. • The four pillars of growth are operational efficiency, innovation and renovation, sale of products whenever, wherever, and however and better communication with customers. • Under performing executives are being fired.

  2. Growth Imperative • 3000 cups of the coffee are consumed worldwide every second. • Soluble coffee is a typical grocery product. • Nescafe dispensers and cafes and in-flight service on Air France of the product offer huge opportunities.

  3. Growth Imperative • Nestle is almost double the change in stock price (120 points compared to 75 and 65 for Procter & Gamble and Unilever respectively). • Nestle wants targeted communities of consumers. • They created Nespresso, a club. • They also have Club Buitoni. • They also have a chocolate lovers website. • They have an infant nutrition website.

  4. Efficiency Imperative • Quote: • “Whenever the value chain sustains one of more activities in which the minimum efficient scale(of research facilities, production centers, and so on) exceeds the sales volume feasible within one country, a company with global presence will have the potential to create a cost advantage relative to a domestic player within the industry.” • What it means: • Achieve Economies of Scale • Cost reduction

  5. Efficiency Imperative • 5 Examples • Removing under-performers in senior executive team 1.Getting rid of underperformers in his senior executive team who hadn’t grasped that the days were over when consumer packaged goods companies could simply dump products on retailers and wait for fat returns. • Automate and Integrate 2. Nestle paid an undisclosed amount for the license to use German software group SAP’s entire mySAP.com suite of products which will be made available to all 230,000 Nestle employees. The goal is to automate and integrate all of Nestle’s operations, from procurement through production to distribution. This will give far-flung employees quick access to information from across the globe and is expected to speed up financial reporting by more than a month. • Revamping of Nestle’s R&D department 3. Innovation—revamping Nestle’s R&D unit so that there would be better coordination among the group’s different businesses. Better communication leads to efficiency.

  6. Efficiency Imperative • 5 Examples(cont.) • E-Revolution 4. Become one of the world’s websmart elite. Overhaul everything from buying raw materials such as cocoa beans to producing, marketing, and selling products such as KitKat chocolate bars and Nescafe instant coffee. The Net helps to cut inventories too. In the past, when Nestle held promotions it had to guess at demand. By linking up electronically with its retail partners, it can now adjust production fast. • Build highly targeted communities of consumers 5. Focusing on and establishing loyal customer base to increase sales such as Nespresso clubs and Club Buitoni who’s members are lovers of Italian culture. Nestle is establishing a interactive community in Britain, US, and Japan.

Knowledge Imperative • Learning through globalization: • Used Unilever as a benchmark in slimming down. • Distribution problems taught Nestle’ to establish factories in developing countries. • Failed marketing of infant formula in third world countries led to a boycott; learned to use more cautious advertising practices.

  9. Knowledge Imperative • Learning through globalization: • Poor efficiency, lousy returns, and stagnating stock prices taught Nestle’ to utilize the internet to streamline processes. • With 8,000 different products, Nestle learned that innovation is difficult and costly.
