product can be significant

Chapter 11/ 11
Attitude towards the Country of
Origin
Stereotyped attitudes toward foreign products and
services can favour or hinder marketing efforts
If the quality is perceived to be low
Foreign origin of the product can be disguised
Foreign identification of the product can be continued and
consumer attitudes towards the product can be changed
In some market segments foreign products have a
substantial advantage because they are foreign

Chapter 11/ 13
Strategy 1: Product/Communication
Extension (Dual Expansion)
Company sells exactly the same product or service with
the same advertising as used in the home country
Company assumes that all markets are alike
Dual Extension does not work in all markets
Dual Extension is often used because it saves costs
Example: Campbell Soup

Chapter 11/ 14
Strategy 2: Product Extension,
Communications Adaptation
If the product serves different needs in various
countries, only marketing communication may have to
be adapted
Adaptation can happen by design or accident
Cheap implementation because product does not change
Example: Motorbikes
Keegan/Schlegelmilch

Chapter 11/ 15
Strategy 3: Product Adaptation,
Communication Extension
Product is adapted to the new market, but basic home
market communication strategy remains unchanged
Product is adapted to the environment and the
preferences of the consumers in the new market
Example: Mueslix
Keegan/Schlegelmilch

Chapter 11/ 16
Strategy 4: Product/Communication
Adaptation (Dual Adaptation)
Using Dual Adaptation the company must adapt the
product or service as well as the marketing
communication to the foreign market
Example: Colgate
