Drivers of market globalization:
Are the factors, and forces that impact the speed of globalization industrials. Drives of the market consider the key to understand customer demand, and the form of consumption .There are five market globalization drives. Gerardo R. Ungson،Yim-Yu Wong(2008)
1-Common customer need
Customers across different countries have the same desire in product, and service category. that determine an industry. Because there are many factors influence, such as culture, climate, infrastructure,and the preference of consumers. Consider the high level of harmonies between the groups of consumers, the high standardized product will be admitting by them.
However, as long as the demand of consumers are common, the spread of globalization will be faster.
2-Global customers
There are many companies that buy particular item in large amount behalf of whole organization, and distribute them to subsidiaries. They generate the demand for high quantity of standardized product. For example, the retailers such as IKEA, and Wal-Mart. They purchase items in large quantity then they get benefit from low price.
3-Global market channel
Indicate the distribution of certain type of product using worldwide way, will reduce cost of handle different distribution requirement. However, supply chain around the world have been created to take the benefit of source opportunities, and establish distribution channel. IKEA found a channel that is close to them, and it becomes world
By having many choices for consumers the store can make the sale and the consumer can get exactly what they want, whether it be the cheap, average, or high end

Introduction As the world we live in today continues to flatten, new channels begin to emerge across the globe. The technological age that we live in today has forever changed they way retailing functions, creating new opportunities for international success. However, the thought of internationalization can be daunting for many retailers, especially due the large history of retailers who have expanded internationally and then failed. Although this type of expansion can be overwhelming, if done properly, the new retail format can generate a great deal of success for the retailer.
A direct marketing channel utilizes telemarketing, mail order sales, catalog sales, and forms of online shopping to route products directly to consumers (Lamb, Hair, McDaniel, Pg. 246). In order to use other marketing channels the need for higher production quantities would be presented, for example if you make 100 knives and sell them direct to clients when you are out of stock that is it; contrary when completing transactions through retailers the manufacturing of larger amounts of product must happen first in order to get them distributed to store locations. There is a good chance that the high quality standards that work under the direct channel may suffer in the efforts to mass produce goods. The forever guarantee that is offered by Cutco is top of the line.
After the opening of first store in Sweden in 1953, by 1960’s Swedish market was saturated and as Sweden is a small market, there is not much opportunities for growth any more. IKEA decided to expand its market international starting from neighborhood Scandinavian countries according to similar consumer tastes. Internationalization process Norway was the first country where IKEA started its international expansion in 1963. Denmark and Switzerland stores were the following foreign market entries.
Largely, the entry of the company into the distribution channels has limited the threat of major or powerful suppliers. The company has created its own retail stores and online web marketing. This approach aims at capturing the consumers that would want to order the product directly from the manufacturer. In fact, the online marketing model does not only enable the firm to sell directly to the respective consumer, but also enables the firm to identify the unique needs of the consumers. The direct link between the consumers and the company is critical to continuous growth of the company.
nternational marketing in export and franchising Objectives International marketing is the export, franchising, joint venture or full direct entry of a marketing organization into another country. • To bring countries closer for trading purpose and to encourage large scale free trade among the countries of the world. • To bring integration of economies of different countries and there by to facilitate the process of globalization of trade. • To establish trade relations among the nations and thereby to maintain cordial relations among nations for maintaining world peace. • To facilitates and encourage social and cultural exchange among different countries of the world.
Global strategy is an international strategy that implements by a company which they doing their business in different countries. Internationalization is a process for IKEA expand its business and it was quite important because through the internationalization process, IKEA was able to gain a broader area of marketplace to sales their products, which will lead to profit and revenue increased and new market places existed mean new opportunity for IKEA to improve their product in order to meet the customers’ needs. The first reason that IKEA should go to international level is because the Swedish market is small and no enough for IKEA to expand itself. This is important for IKEA because the small market mean low opportunity, lower profit and
Exchange rate between different countries differs on their economy. 3. Social factors Social factor is related to growth of population. Increase in population growth creates demand in automobile industry and the sale of Mercedes Benz will increase.
These characteristics, a complicated supply chain and wide availability of data make the industry a suitable avenue for an efficient supply chain. Also the fashion industry has been in a transition during the last 20 years: significant consolidation in retail, with most of the apparel manufacturing operations moving overseas and, in more recent times, increasing use of e-commerce in retail and wholesale trade. Historically, retailers have tried to exploit relationships with suppliers. Bargaining power of buyers is moderate because of the size and concentration of major retailers. To reduce power and you gain customers, retailers seek to differentiate products and to create stronger brands.
This form of knowledge does not distinguishlimitations based on nationhood, religion and ethnicity that is why is it said to have encouraged globalization. The second factor is capitalism, which is a methodused to organizeeconomic activities that will result in making a profit and this phase of capitalism is regarded as the main force behind globalization. The constant concern to build up a surplus or fail constrains capital to look for out cheaper production sites and new markets for their products, which in realistic terms means the world. The third factor is technology which is the application of knowledge, in general scientific knowledge, to solve practical problems. Technological innovations in production and transportation were important during the early modern phase of globalization, whereas technological innovations in information and communication were important during the late modern phase of globalization.
Woodmere Products Case Study The case study is about time-based logistics. HomeHelp wants Woodmere to collaborate with it in an exclusive distribution using time-based logistics. Woodmere has to submit a proposal for implementing that. The following are the answers to questions about this collaboration.
Founded in Sweden at 1943 by Ingvar Kamprad, IKEA is a value-driven company with the vision “To create a better everyday life for the many people”.
