Taste Tests (300 words each for Part and reference)Taste tests are a tool that marketers have been using for decades. One soda maker giant has been conducting a “challenge” since the mid-1970s. A fast-food chain conducted a series of taste tests in 2008 that ended up being a successful campaign for the restaurant.For this assignment, you will conduct a taste test using at least 7 participants. Select a packaged food product such as chips, cereal, cookies, or ice cream. You will use a brand name product and its store brand or generic counterpart. Be sure to compare 2 like products. For example: Do not have a taste test of a savory cereal and a fruity cereal. You need to compare the fruity cereal with a generic or store brand fruity cereal. After the taste test, ask each respondent what brand of the product he or she usually buys before revealing the selected product.Hint: Food and lifestyle magazines and Web sites publish taste tests periodically. It may be a good idea to see how they compare various products so that you have a better idea of how to conduct your study.Note: Remember that the discussion takes place over 2 weeks, and your weekly posts must be made in the specified week to earn credit.Part 1Provide a description of the process through which you collected the data.Give an overview of the results using tables or charts and words.Because you are engaging in research, be sure to cite your source(s) in APA format.Part 2Analyze the results.

International Marketing When a firm makes the commitment to manufacture products outside its domestic market, it is engaged in international marketing. While companies can be heavily involved in international markets with extensive selling organizations and distribution networks, the decision to manufacture outside its home market marks a significant shift toward an integrated international market strategy. Global markets become an essential component of the company’s growth strategy, and resources are allocated to expand the business into those markets. The company incorporates an international division or business unit that has responsibility for growing the business in targeted foreign markets.International marketing aligns the company’s assets and resources with global markets, but, in the vast majority of companies, management still takes a “domestic first” approach to the business. As a result, the corporate structure still divides international and domestic markets.Global Marketing A global marketing company realizes that all world markets (including the company’s own domestic market) are, in reality, a single market with many different segments. This frequently happens when a company generates more than half its revenue in international markets. Exhibit 2.3 highlights companies considered traditional American companies but that generate more than half their revenue outside the United States.The most significant difference between international and global marketing organizations is management philosophy and corporate planning. Global marketers treat the world as a single, unified market with many different segments that may or may not fall along countries’ political boundaries. International marketers, on the other hand, define markets along traditional political boundaries and, most often, assign unique status to their domestic market.The first step in moving into global markets is to evaluate the market opportunities. Since a company’s management team is usually less familiar with foreign markets, research helps fill in the blanks, providing critical information for decision makers.
