Being a company dedicated to food from thebeginning, Nestle remains sensitive to culinary and eatinghabits, and responds to specific nutritional problems, whilstalso setting and matching new trends such as growing out-of-home consumption and caring about the well being of itsconsumers.MEANING OF NESTLE:Henri Nestlé endowed his company with the symbol derivedfrom his name. His family coat of arms, the nest with amother birdprotecting her young, became the Company'slogo and a symbol of theCompany's careand attitude tolife-long nutrition. The Nestlé nest represents thenourishment, security and sense of family that are soessential to life. HISTORY OF NESTLE:1866 -1905 In the 1860s Henri Nestlé, a pharmacist, developed a foodfor babies who were unable to breastfeed. His first successwas a premature infant who could not tolerate his mother's milk or any of the usual substitutes. People quicklyrecognized the value of the new product, after Nestlé's newformula saved the child's life, and soon, Farine Lactée HenriNestlé was being sold in much of Europe.

1905-1918 In 1905 Nestlé merged with the Anglo-Swiss Condensed MilkCompany. By the early 1900s, the company was operatingfactories in the United States, Britain, Germany and Spain.World War I created new demand for dairy products in theform of government contracts. By the end of the war,Nestlé's production had more than doubled.1918 -1938 After the war Government contracts dried up and consumersswitched back to fresh milk. However, Nestlé's managementresponded quickly, streamlining operations and reducingdebt. The 1920s saw Nestlé's first expansion into newproducts, with chocolate the Company's second mostimportant activity1938 -1944 Nestlé felt the effects of World War II immediately. Profitsdropped from $20 million in 1938 to $6 million in 1939.Factories were established in developing countries,particularly Latin America. Ironically, the war helped with theintroduction of the Company's newest product, Nescafe,which was a staple drink of the US military. Nestlé'sproduction and sales rose in the wartime economy.1944 -1975 The end of World War II was the beginning of a dynamicphase for Nestlé. Growth accelerated and companies wereacquired. In 1947 came the merger with Magi

seasoningsand soups. Crosse & Blackwell followed in 1950, as didFindus (1963), Libby's (1971) and Stouffer's (1973).Diversification came with a shareholding in L'Oréal in 1974.

1975 -1981 Nestlé's growth in the developing world partially offset aslowdown in the Company's traditional markets. Nestlé madeits second venture outside the food industry by acquiringAlcon Laboratories Inc...1981 -1996 Nestlé divested a number of businesses1980 / 1984. In 1984,Nestlé's improved bottom line allowed the Company tolaunch a new round of acquisitions, the most importantbeing American food giant Carnation.1996+  The first half of the 1990s proved to be favorable for Nestlé:trade barriers crumbled and world markets developed intomore or less integrated trading areas. Since 1996 there havebeen acquisitions including San Pellegrino (1997), SpillersPet foods (1998) and Ralston Purina (2002). There were twomajor acquisitions in North America, both in 2002: in July,Nestlé merged its U.S. ice cream business into Dreyer's, andin August, a USD 2.6bn acquisition was announced of Chef America, Inc.

Nestlé’s Vision:“At Nestle, we believe that research can help us tomake better food, so that people live a better life.”

Mission Statement:“Nestle is dedicated to providing the bestfoods to people throughout their day,throughout their lives, throughout the world.With our unique experience of anticipatingconsumers' needs and creating solutions,Nestle contributes to your well-being andenhances your quality of life.”Nestle is not only Switzerland's largest industrial company,but it is also the World's Largest Food Company. The missionstatement emphasizes on the fact that Nestle products areavailable in nearly every country around the world.Wherever one may live, only Nestle can provide the best andmost reliable food and beverage products to meet his/herneeds throughout the day, throughout the life. Especially,people on the move want to be able to find good foodwherever they are, whatever the time of day. They are oftenreassured that they will find well-known brands out of home. This statement also reflects the image of high qualityproducts that Nestle offers. Nestle has the advantage that itoffers caterers, fast food chains and other restaurants acomplete range of high quality ingredients, base productsand meal components, as well as leading consumer brandssuch as Nescafe. Quality is the cornerstone of the success of the Nestle Company. Everyday, millions of people all overthe world show their trust in the company by choosing

Page 4: Nestle

Nestle products. This trust comes from a quality image thathas been built up for over a century. Therefore, the qualityof the products ultimately enhances the quality of theconsumer’s life.In addition, the mission statement declares that Nestlehas the ability to anticipate “…consumer’s needs and createsolutions….” Nestle has proven this ability a number of timesby introducing new products that were required byconsumers. Especially, the launch of Nestle Pure Life inPakistan proves the accuracy of this fact. In Pakistan, therewas a need for safe and healthy drinking water and Nestleresponded to this consumer need by introducing Nestle PureLife.Finally, it is quite evident that the organization hasactually implemented its mission statement in the businesspractices that it carries out. Also, the mission statement hasbeen an important guideline for any SBU that the firm hasstarted and this is portrayed by the success that each SBU of Nestle enjoys.

A Nestlé brandname on a product is a promise to the customer that it issafe to consume, that it complies with all regulations andthat it meets high standards of quality. Customers expect usto keep this promise every time. Under no circumstances willwe compromise on the safety of a product and every effort must be made to avoid hazards to health.Likewise, compliance with all relevant laws and regulations isa must and is not negotiable. People, equipment andinstruments are made available to ensure safety andconformity of Nestlé products at all times. The effort is worthit. Companies with huge quality standards make fewermistakes, waste less time and money and are moreproductive. They also make higher profits. Quality is ourmost successful product. It is the key to our success, todayand tomorrow.

The customer comes firstWe want to win and keep customers: distributors,supermarkets, hotels, shopkeepers and the final consumers. They have very different requirements. Trade customersexpect excellent service, correct information and timelydelivery. Consumers consider taste, appearance and pricewhen they make their choice. Our task is to understand whatcustomers want and respond to their expectations rapidlyand effectively. We serve various groups of consumers andthere is demand for products at different levels of perceivedquality and price. All customers, however, expect value fortheir money – good quality at a reasonable price. Whenoffering quality to customers we also mean environmentalquality. Nestlé shares society’s concern for the environmentand is committed to environmentally sound businesspractices throughout the world.Customers are central to our business and we must alwaysrespect their needs and preferences.

Quality is a competitiveadvantageWe live in a competitive world and must never forget thatour customers have a choice. If they are not reverent of quality and reduction cost. Success can never be taken forgranted. We must watch and learn from our competitors. If they do something better, we must improve our ownperformance. We can achieve competitive advantagethrough Quality.Quality is a joint effort

Page 11: Nestle

Operating companies are fully responsible for maintainingagreed quality standards. Not only Production units, but alsoMarketing, Purchasing, Distribution and Sales have a vitalrole to play in providing quality to customers. This implies athorough knowledge of the products and services we offer.Quality units at different levels of the organization providespecific support, promote quality awareness, assumeguardianship and audit the system. Quality departmentsmonitor operations against agreed standards and mustintervene in case of non-conformity. Quality policy andprinciples, the mandatory standards and the recommendedtools for implementation are laid down in the Nestlé QualitySystem that is applicable throughout the group. Furtherdirections are given through instructions, norms andguidelines, often specific to a product. Our businessproducts, such as raw material producers, packagingsuppliers, contract manufacturers and distributors areexpected to share our concern for Quality. They too must setup an adequate quality system, so as to meet ourrequirements consistently.Every function and department in the company as well asour business partners must share the quality efforts.

It is theresponsibility of senior managers to communicate the qualityobjectives and to provide the resources necessary for theirimplementation. It is then up to all employees to makeQuality happen throughout the company. Progress isfollowed by listening to our customers and by measuring ourperformance. Shortcomings and mistakes must be analyzedand corrected. Problems must be anticipated and preventedbefore they occur. We also must identify and take advantageof opportunities. To stand still is to fall behind. So we muststrive for continuous improvement in every area. It is through many small improvements as well as through majorbreakthroughs that we will achieve excellence.

MARKETSEGMENTATION:

Page 12: Nestle

 To occupy a clear distinctive & desirable place related tocompeting mineral water in the minds of the targetcustomers Nestle Pure Life segments its market on twobases:•Geographic segmentation•Demographic segmentationGEOGRAPHICALSEGMENTATION: The Company segments its market geographically ondivisional basis. They divide each division in different zonesand every distributor is restricted to sale its products only inhis own zone.E.g. Lahore is divided into five zones like East, West, South,North, and South west.DEMOGRAPHICAL FACTOR:If we look nestle pure life's demographic segmentation thanwe will find that our product is for every one. People fromany area, any culture, any age, any sex, any belief and anyincome will drink water. It is not any luxury item which isused by a specific people.Targeting:A specific demographic target market was not chosen forNestle Pure Life; instead the goal was to develop a productto be used by consumers of all ages - from infants to seniors.It was intended as a family product especially for familiesliving in large, polluted urban agglomerations thatexperience increasing difficulties finding safe, healthydrinking water. In fact, Nestle Pure Life's 0.5 L bottle istargeting to be also an alternative to soft drinks. Basicallythe target market of nestle water is those areas where theconsumers having more awareness about pure life. As thepeople in villages having less information about Nestle Pure Life. So targeting marketingdepends on the awareness of the consumers.

SELETING TARGET MARKETTarget Market StrategiesUndifferentiated mass market.Differentiated Segmented Marketing.Concentrate Marketing.Micro marketing or Individual Marketing.PRODUCT LIFECYCLE:If we look nestle pure life water in product life cycle than iteasy to judge that it is at introduction stage. Because Nestleis the market pioneer and at this stage its profit is negativeor low due to low sale and high distribution and promotionexpenses. Other major reason to be at introduction stage isunawareness in rural areas. The people are not aware to thepure life water that’s why their sale is low. They can bringchange in product life cycle by effective promotion, byformulating new price strategies etc
