McInnerney. The firm was initially set up to execute on a rollup strategy in the then fragmented United States ice cream industry. Through acquisitions it expanded into a full range of dairy products. By 1930 it was the largest dairy company in the United States and the world, exceeding Borden. McInnerney operated the Hydrox Corporation, an ice cream company located in Chicago, Illinois. In 1923 he went to Wall Street to convince investment bankers there to finance his scheme for consolidating the United States ice cream industry. He initially found "hard sledding" with one banker saying the dairy industry "lacked dignity." He persevered and convinced a consortium including Goldman Sachs and Lehman Brothers to finance a rollup strategy. As a result of his efforts, National Dairy Products Corporation was formed in 1923 in a merger of McInnerney's Hydrox with Rieck McJunkin Dairy Co of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The resulting firm was then listed on the New York Stock Exchange with the offer of 125,000 shares having been The firm grew quickly through a large number of acquisitions. As it is typical...

The Walt Disney Company consists of five (5) Disneyland and Disney Park Resorts, in total. Two are located in the United States, one in Europe and two in Asia Pacific.

...1. INTRODUCTION: People around the world are becoming more aware of the environmental stresses humans are placing on the planet. Newspapers, magazines, television, and other media feature wide coverage of environmental problems, whether they are local (e.g., depleted fisheries and air pollution) or global (e.g., ozone depletion and climate change). Many consumers now display concern about environmental deterioration. Increasingly often they ask how much impact a product will have on the environment during its lifespan or during its disposal. This is the major impetus for green products and green marketing. A closely related reason is the competitive advantage or sales potential that some corporations now see in green products. Green Marketing is an attempt to characterize a product as being environmentally friendly. In general green products are made from recycled content and/or designed for reuse, recycling, or remanufacturing. They are usually non-toxic, energy efficient, and durable. However, green is a relative term and depends on the individual situation. 2. DEFINITION: Green or Environmental Marketing consists of all activities designed to generate and facilitate any exchanges intended to satisfy human needs or wants, such that the satisfaction of these needs and wants occurs, with minimal detrimental impact on the natural environment Conventional marketing involves selling products that satisfy consumer needs at affordable prices. Green marketing must...

Thus, creation and implementation a successful marketing strategy in business is very crucial, especially when we deal with a business such as water production, still or sparkling. The purpose of the research is to analyze the implementation of marketing strategies by Kosovo producers of water and to provide clear recommendations for companies that do not use marketing strategies. During the research we have found that water producers do not even have an already established marketing department, have not employed any marketing personal, nor they have a qualified sales person representing the company. According to our research of the existing water producing companies in Kosovo, only few of these companies, and in particular two out of ten have invested and established an already functioning marketing department, while others are planning to do so in the near future. One of the reasons we found out that they want to do that is for the purpose of imitating competition but not because they want a marketing department or personnel because it is...

...MULTINATIONAL MANAGEMENT COURSE OUTLINE (2007-09) The globalization of the world economy and the related liberalization of the Indian economy are radically changing the business landscape. The international capital flows into India have increased several-fold since the onset of liberalization; Indian companies are becoming multinationals in their own right--a trend certain to intensify in the coming years. All in all, multinationals are becoming more ubiquitous as an instrument of economic and business activity. The business leaders of tomorrow need to be trained today in the unique requirements of multinational management. It is toward this objective that the proposed course in Multinational Management is being offered. The course combines a number of sub-disciplines from the fields of social sciences and business administration. It is broad in sweep; its depth is pitched at the PGP level. The overall course is divided into four modules, as follows: Module I--International Business Context-- provides an historical perspective on globalization and presents a viewpoint on its future direction. It also covers some of the globalization drivers including international trade and investment and how they spawn multinational activity. The phenomenon of domestic and cross-border corruption and bribery, often an inherent part of such activities, is discussed. Finally, it postulates how countries and companies can develop competitive advantage and defines the implications...
