...936 Groupe Danone - issues regarding its policies 1. Company’s background The company has its roots in Spain, where Danone was founded by Isaac Carasso in 1919. Having previously lived in the Balkans where yogurt was a dietary staple, Carasso decided to introduce this healthy product in Barcelona. He opened a small yogurt business named "Danone," meaning "Little Daniel" after his son. Carasso was aware of scientific advances that had been made with fermented milk by Elie Metchnikoff at the Pasteur Institute in Paris. He perfected the first industrial manufacturing process by combining the traditional method of making yogurt with the pure cultures that had been isolated in Paris. In 1923, the first Danone yogurts start to be sold in pharmacies as doctors recommend it for its therapeutic qualities. The younger Carasso, Daniel, learned the family business in Spain and decided to establish Danone in France in 1929. In 1949, the yogurt is almost a dairy product. The porcelain “envase” is substituted by the one made of glass. This innovation makes it easier to popularize the yogurt. In 1968, Danone starts its first TV campaign. In 1985, Danone creates its first “low fat yogurt” called “Danone Desnatado”. In 1992, Danone was the Official Sponsor of Barcelona's Olympic Games. “Danone Institute” is created in 1993. Its main objective is to research and develop healthier and better products for the company. 2. Mission, values and corporate philosophy Danone Group's mission...

FDIs and Entry in China How should MNEs enter China? MNEs are usually presented with multiple entry choices, namely export, licensing agreements, franchising and FDIs. While each mode presents advantages and disadvantages, FDIs cause MNEs to make direct investments and be directly present in foreign countries, as opposed to indirect investments and presence through other modes of entry, hence the name “foreign direct investment”. But with direct presence in a foreign country MNEs are subject to both formal and informal institutions, and those institutions will directly influence a company’s decisions and it’s mode of entry (Ingram, Silverman 2002). MNEs have to decide whether to go as a first or late mover and due to what kind of motivation they decide to do FDIs in China. In countries with a weak institutional framework, Meyer et al. (2009) find that MNEs should choose the Joint Venture...
