...Exam cases: Kodak Virgin Australia Post Pre-seen exam information Semester 2 2012 Global Strategy and Leadership © CPA Australia Ltd 2012 Case Scenario 1 Kodak case facts Eastman Kodak Company (Kodak) was founded in the late 19th century by amateur photographer George Eastman in Rochester, New York. With the slogan ‘you press the button, we do the rest,’ Kodak gave consumers the first simple camera in 1888, making a cumbersome and complicated process easy to use and readily accessible. A major multinational organisation, Kodak was listed on the New York Stock Exchange and became a powerhouse in the photography industry. The company led the way as an innovator, launching a large range of new products and processes to make photography simpler, more useful and more enjoyable. With the rapid growth of digital photography, competition against its product and being slow to embrace the move to digital technology Kodak has fallen on hard times. In January 2012, Kodak and its US subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for Chapter 11 business reorganisation1 in the US Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. A company spokesperson said the aim of the business reorganisation was to enable Kodak to bolster liquidity, sell off nonstrategic intellectual property, and enable the company to focus on the most valuable business lines. The process will allow Kodak to continue normal business operations while it attempts to emerge a profitable and sustainable enterprise2....

...Gelder, S. v. (2005). The new imperatives for global branding: Strategy, Creativity and Leadership. Journal of Brand Management 12 (5): 395-404. “The new imperatives for global branding: Strategy, Creativity, Leadership” 1. Introduction “Faster, Higher, Stronger.”1 This old slogan is used when referring to the Olympic Games, but it is also an appropriate principle in modern times when globalization is mentioned. In our fast-moving society time is scarce and decisions are made within seconds, things must go quickly in order to save time. We scramble for wealth and pursue to overstep our limits. Discoveries and inventions have changed our view of the world and our way of living. What it comes down to is, the world has constantly changed over the last thousand years and is still changing. This change is omnipresent. Customs agreement, freedom of travel, monetary union and an intensified communication flow, these achievements play a part in contributing to the fact that national borders become indistinct. Everything is interconnected, especially in business. Consumers can choose between a variety of goods and services produced and provided by a nearly uncountable number of companies. Therefore competition is abundant and enterprises have to take up the challenge in order to be able to fight for their financial and economic survival. If you are not able to keep up, you will loose. How can companies cope with this challenge? When consumers compare products they favor...

...promotion-related; (3) price-related; and (4) distribution-related Compare and contrast standardization with customization of international marketing strategies. The notion of globalization - a global firm pursuing a global strategy - is very appealing to managers. (Hardy, 1994, p365). As soon as the firms decide to expand into the global marketplace, the international marketing manager should determine what strategy would be adopted to mix the four P's of marketing: product, pricing, promotion, and place in the complex environment in future. In other words, the manager must decide either the standardisation strategy or customization strategy is suitable for the particular foreign market. 1.The meanings of standardization and customization strategies Standardization became a popular buzzword in the 1980s, as proponents such as Kenichi Ohmate argued that customers in the Triad were becoming increasingly alike, with similar incomes, educational achievements, lifestyles, and aspirations. (Manoney, Trigg, Griffin, and Pustay, 1998, p612). Therefore, standardization strategy indicates that the firm tends to offer the similar products with same price and distribution to the consumers. Coca-Cola was one of the first international businesses to adopt this strategy and obtained a great achievement. By contrast, customization strategy pays more attention to the needs of different customers and tries to satisfy the varied demand. The firms that adopted...

...Point of view What the future demands: The growing challenge of global leadership development B What the future demands: The growing challenge of global leadership development Companies worldwide seem to be seized by a new enthusiasm for innovation and growth after a sobering period of retrenchment and downsizings. Fast-moving technologies, rapid global expansion, shifting business models, mergers and acquisitions all hold out dazzling possibilities. But in order to capitalize on these opportunities, corporate leaders are confronting a serious need for new kinds of talent and leadership. One has the sense that CEOs all over the world are emerging from strategy sessions and turning to their HR leaders with the same questions: How will we get our company from here to there? And do we have the leadership to make that transition? HR executives bear increasing responsibility for helping their organizations find and develop leaders who can move their companies forward – and then for helping those leaders to succeed. This responsibility is complicated by the fact that it’s often difficult to get a clear view into the future state of the business. Among the outstanding questions for HR executives: ■ How fast must we be prepared for change throughout the organization and change at the top? What leadership skills are required for the future? How do we ensure that we hire, develop and retain the people with the right skills – intellectually, technologically and emotionally...
