Barbie was a fashion icon • Stereotypical feminine in the post war period • Luxury designs for Barbie were created
Cultural Preferences • Mattel has altered the doll to fit local cultures: • African market – introducing a black Barbie. • India – traditional clothing (sari).
Focus • There is little homogenisation • Of all the countries, only a few have their “own” Barbie – Ex. China, India, Mexico, Holland, and Argentina

Holland Barrett Failure to Adapt in China
Holland Barrett: Intro • UK based health food retailer • 80 years experience in health retail industry • Over 1, 000 high quality, vitamins, minerals and other nutritional supplements • Holland & Barrett attempt to penetrate the Chinese market
Adaptation: Variation Challenge • Repositioning - H&B did not adjust to local costs and prices necessary given the large economic distance between China and UK.
Adaptation: Focus Success • Segment Focus - H&B targeted a limited customer base in China that would appeal to their products. – H&B targeted Shanghai, the region with the highest minimum wage and the most westernization. Challenge • Segment Focus - Not a widely known brand name in the global market, therefore, it was not successful in grasping the niche cliental it was hoping for.
Adaptation: Externalization Challenge • Franchise - H&B lost control by franchising – should have had directly operated stores • Franchisee incurs high fixed costs therefore high prices – increasing economic distance
Adaptation: Design Challenge • Partitioning - H&B needed to partition more to meet the needs of the Chinese • H&B should have introduced more variety in their products to reduce cultural distance
Adaptation: Innovation Challenge • Localization – H&B did not focus on innovation in their target geographic region. • H&B could have created smaller portions to meet the needs of price sensitive consumers in order to decrease economic distance.
P&G Adapt Gillette Razors For the Indian Consumer
Gillette’s Approach in India Go to the source • Understand the wants, needs, and desires of the target consumer. • For example: shaving experience is markedly different for people in rural areas who shaved using little or no water while balancing a hand-held mirror in one hand.
Gillette’s Approach in India Delight, don’t dilute • Rather the lowering performance, the customer was kept at the center of the process offering a distinct service. • P&G included features like easy-rinsing, given the paucity of water in target markets, or unique grips given the ways consumers tended to hold razors.
Gillette’s Approach in India Match the model to the market • Succeeding in India requires new manufacturing, distribution and promotion approaches.
Externalization 1) Outsource manufacturing to local factories and use local resources. 2) Create local relationship with Indian consumers through local shops called Kiranas (pictured right)
Design and Variation 1) Simplicity: 80% less parts than Gillette Fusion sold in developed markets. 2) Designed a whole new razor with adjusted form (weight, # of blades, grip, etc. ) to accommodate Indian culture and standards.
Reverse Innovation 1) Reverse Innovation to penetrate price sensitive Indian market. 2) Simple cheap “good enough” razor. 3) 5 rupees - 10 cent blade 15 rupees - 30 cent razor
