have a preference for
automatic cars whereas
majority of Europeans
have cars with manual
gears. Europeans prefer
to eat more varied and
balanced meals and less
fast food as compared
to Americans.
• For example, Nestle
makes a variety of
instant coffee to satisfy
tastes and preferences
of people of different
nations.
20. Cultural
• For example, Starbucks faced lot of difficulties while entering
the Chinese markets. The first and foremost being the non-
smoking policy of Starbucks which was against the high
smoking Chinese customers who would not feel happy to be
kept away from smoking while having a cup of coffee.
Secondly, while a majority of US customers drink coffee while
walking or driving to work, Chinese, on the other hand, prefer
to drink coffee inside the Starbucks coffeehouse with their
friends or colleagues. Customers in China visit Starbucks not
only for the coffee but to enjoy the relaxing environment
inside the coffeehouse. Moreover, as against Americans, they
never drink coffee alone and use to have a meal along with it.
So Starbucks had to introduce great meal options for their
Chinese customers.

Employees

Consumers
• Protection to Business

• The Tata Motors site is the most fertile one in the whole of the
Singur, and the Singur block, in turn, is among the most
highly fertile in West Bengal. Consequently, almost the entire
local population depends on agriculture with approximately
15000 making their livelihood directly from it. With the
number of direct jobs to be created no more than about 1,000,
many of which are expected to go to outsiders, the local
populace felt threatened for their livelihood. Environmental
degradation is also feared.
25. CONTD.
• Affected by the following factors :
• Media
• Political environment: opposed by opposition
parties
• Legal environment :land acquisition act, 1894
• Local public : farmers
• Physical environment
27. Example
• Farmers in India in the state of Chattisgarh use Coke and Pepsi as
pesticides because it’s cheaper than pesticides and gets the job done just as
well.
• the Farmers in the Durg, districts of Chhattisgarh disagree and have
successfully used Pepsi and Coke to protect their rice plantations against
pests..
• This is a trend that is seen across other parts of India, with farmers using
other Indian brands of colas too. The practice of using soft drinks instead
of pesticides, which are up to 10 times more expensive, is gaining so much
popularity that sales of soft drinks have increased dramatically in many
villages. Farmers say the use of pesticides can cost them about 70
rupees ($1.50) an acre. By comparison, if they mix up a bottle of Pepsi or
Coke with water and spray it on their crops it costs 55-60 rupees less per
acre.
