Kraft Foods Finds a Chinese Face for Oreo --Oreo localization in China 学院：外国语学院 班级：24150102班 学号：2012041501065 姓名：徐佳媛 Until the mid-1990s, Oreo largely focused on the US market - as reflected in one of its popular advertising slogans from the 1980s, "America's Best Loved Cookie". But the dominant position in the US limited growth opportunities and encouraged Kraft to turn to international markets. Oreo launched in China in 1996 as a clone of the American version.The China launch was based on the implicit assumption that what made it successful in its home market would be a winning formula in any other market. However,doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results did not happen in China, after almost a decade, Oreo cookies were not a hit as anticipated because of insufficient understanding of local preferences. By 2005, it controlled a mere 3% of the Chinese cookie market and the team even considered pulling Oreo out of the Chinese market altogether for the long-term losses.
The New World Order Louieco Lewis Assistant Professor Namaste, a warm respectful Hindu greeting, and Ni Hao, a Chinese greeting equivalent to hello: will either of these be the greeting used by business and political leaders when they meet in the near future? China and India have experienced and continue to experience phenomenal economic growth partly through software development, technological innovation, a low-wage, technologically educated work force, and low-cost manufacturing.

However, in recent years, especially after the financial crisis in 2008, China’s labor cost keeps climbing and China is losing competitive low cost priority compared with other low cost countries. As a result, “Made in China” market is becoming “a dying business” (Ang 40).

Recently, there is a controversy about whether rising labor costs in China’s manufactories is good news or not. Certainly, there are some positive effects of China’s rising wages in its prosperous domestic market and other countries’ revival employment.
My short-time internship experience in Bank of Nanjing gave me the chance to know about how the investment-banking department operates, and it interested me.

Even though the Chinese market is not mature right now, yet nobody can deny that it has enormous potential and opportunities.
