The research also investigates cultural variation to help the company obtain a larger advantage to sell their product and service to the oversea companies. The Business Problem

Product Market Strategy (Market Adv Test) | In order to be innovative and efficiency, Tesco should design the firm that allocates more attention to operating priority and finding source of competitive advantage among their business units. By setting this design, Tesco should come up with a new strategy for example: The differentiation focus strategy which focuses on just one or a small number of target market segments. The special customer needs of the segment mean that there are opportunities to provide products that are clearly different from competitors who may be targeting a broader group of customers and therefore, the board executive should create a value in their unique operating priority then it will bring Tesco a competitive advantage. | Corporate Strategy (Parenting Adv Test) | Tesco should decide which product market arenas they should compete in. Tesco have multiple business unit to sell such as fresh food, groceries, household stuffs, mobile phone, Tesco bank, etc and in this case, the parent company (which is Tesco’s board) should be able to explore and discover each of business unit resources and capability and make a good coordination with each of them so that the synergies between the parent company and business unit will be created.

Therefore, if companies are operating from a country with an emerging economy and want to target markets in developed countries, they must understand market similarity.Marketers will choose foreign markets that have similar characteristics like Literacy rates,High Internet usage rates and Credit card usage rate. On the other hand, if they are based in an emerging economy and want to market to their home (domestic) target market or if they are from a developed economy and want to target groups in an emerging economy, they must understand market differences—ways in which the two markets exhibit dissimilar characteristics, such as different languages, cultural behaviors, buying behaviors, and so forth. 2.

Commercial advertisers often seek to generate increased consumption of their products or services through "branding," which involves the repetition of an image or product name in an effort to associate certain qualities with the brand in the minds of consumers. Moreover, the buying behavior of consumers can be easily manipulated through the use of subliminal messages, or celebrity endorsements . Such techniques are used in order to persuade the consumers they need the product which is being advertised. The focus is more on the benefits, which consumer will get from that product, rather than the product itself. Consequently, the individual will be tempted to purchase certain products or services he would normally have no use for.
