...EXECUTIVE INTERVIEW Changing the Strategy at Nespresso: An Interview with Former CEO Jean-Paul Gaillard CONSTANTINOS MARKIDES, London Business School DANIEL OYON, University of Lausanne Background to the Interview Nespresso represents one of the most innovative ´ new products developed by the Swiss giant, Nestle. The product is basically a system that allows the consumer to produce a fresh cup of espresso coffee at home. Though simple in appearance and use, it took Nestle more than 10 years to develop it. ´ The system consists of two parts: a coffee capsule and a machine. The coffee capsule is hermetically sealed in aluminum and contains 5 g of roast and ground coffee. The machine consists of four parts — a handle, a water container, a pump and an electrical heating system. These four parts are cast into a body and form the machine. The use of the Nespresso system is straightforward. The coffee capsule is placed in the handle which is then inserted into the machine. The act of inserting the handle into the machine pierces the coffee capsule at the top. At the press of a button, pressurized, steamed water is passed through the capsule. The result is a creamy, foamy and high-quality cup of espresso coffee. The new product was introduced in 1986. The orig´ inal strategy adopted by Nestle was to set up a joint venture with a Swiss-based distributor called Sobal to sell the new product. This joint venture (named Sobal-Nespresso) was supposed to purchase the 296 machines from...

...Nestlé and Nespresso Based on the case study of Nestlé refines its arsenal in the luxury coffee war of the coffee war, this case talked about a subset of the coffee war that currently brewing in Western Europe between Nestlé, Sara Lee and Ethical Coffee. Nestlé is the incumbent in the market with a monopoly over its home coffee system with 1,700 patents. It has become one of the company's so-called "billionaire brands" with sales last year of $2.6bn. The Nespresso SA company was founded in Vevey, Switzerland in 1986 under the ownership of the Nestlé Group. Nespresso partnered with a Swiss manufacturer, Turmix, to produce and launch the first Nespresso coffee system in the office coffee market in Switzerland and Italy. Nestlé produced the first coffee capsules at its Swiss factory in Orbe. Nestlé traces the roots of Nespresso back to the belief that consumers wanted to have cafe‐style espresso experiences in the home and work place. Nespresso believed that the perfect combination of the highest quality coffee, water and air pressure was necessary to deliver a superior espresso. With this thinking the Nespresso system was born. Since 1986 Nespresso has expanded beyond its initial partnership with Turmix for production of its Nespresso machines. Today, Nespresso counts as partners such precision manufacturers as DeLonghi, Jura, Koenig, Krups, Miele and Siemens, all of whom provide a global distribution network of precision Nespresso machines.

...------------------------------------------------- March 01, 2012 How a brand could go ahead: Nespresso Nespresso, Swiss brand, was a separate company created in 1986 as a 100% owned Nestlé affiliate aiming to further develop, produce and market the Nespresso system. The product consisted of high quality coffee packed in aluminum capsules for exclusive use in specially designed machines. There were eight available coffee varieties. With this product, Nespresso was developed as a totally innovate system. However, the company had to face some troubling signs of market. Nespresso was on sales fields for both the machines and the capsules, but at the end of 1987 just half of the manufactured machines were sold, and without the machines further coffee capsules would not sell. Consequently to this, the machines had defects that were consuming much of the maintenance and service budgets that were covering in total by Nestlé. We can see at this point, that one of the causes of the losses of the company was the slow sales in non-traditional espresso markets like japan. Given this situation, we can identify two problems faced by the company: the first one was a problem of distance with the customer, and the second one, it seems as if the company had forgotten its primary purpose: the sale of coffee, not machines. For the first issue, Nespresso had to have thought about the customer (what he wanted) within its distribution strategy. In addition, Nespresso needs to think on a way that the customer could buy the desired...

But only four initial coffee varieties included Capriccio, Cosi, Decaffeinato and Bolero (now known as Volluto) were offered. And the first two machines offered (the C100 and C1100) are designed to resemble mini espresso machines that people were used to seeing and enjoying at cafés and restaurants.
