MARKET ENTRY STRATEGY OF MNC’S IN HOST COUNTRY:
The most critical strategic decisions faced by MNE management when
internationalising is possibly which market penetration mode to select and
which country to join. A strategic plan with defined objectives, strategies,
resources, and policies guiding international business is required to achieve
management objectives. Since domestic markets are saturated, many MNEs
are focusing on developing markets because of their immense potential. The
cost-cutting opportunity is perhaps the most critical of the many possibilities.
Although emerging markets have a lot of potential for MNEs, they also have a
lot of challenges that are obstacles that should not be overlooked.
Companies entering new markets must make critical decisions on how to join,
which people to represent, and how to better satisfy them. Companies must
answer the following questions to succeed: what the goals of are entering a
new sector, and do they have adequate internal funds. Since this is a difficult
process, global expansion can take many years.
However, these are not the only steps that MNEs must take before entering
new markets; there are a slew of other activities that must be performed prior
to doing so. MNEs must manage each of their products individually. Each one
necessarily involves marketing attention, which must be thoroughly prepared.
As a result, the organisation must be able to determine if there are
opportunities to achieve and set priorities and objectives for the product(s)
they would sell. This refers to the 4Ps design: Product, price, promotion, and
location are all important considerations. Until deciding on an appropriate
entry strategy, the organisation must first assess the target market; a PEST
study is strongly recommended.
Following the decision on which market to enter and the entry mode to use,
the organisation must track its output to respond if necessary.

MOTIVATION FOR NESTLE IN ENTERING INTO BANGLADESH:
Over the past 150 years, as one of the world's biggest company, Nestle, have
improved the Human beings and their families' quality of life in 191 countries
Nestle's goal is the same in Bangladesh as it is in the rest of the world: to
ensure a prosperous world for a country with which they have worked for the
past 25 years. Nestlé Bangladesh Limited started its business in 1994 as a
strategic partnership between Transcom Limited and Nestlé S.A, Switzerland,
with its first factory in Sreepur. Nestlé Bangladesh had become a fully owned
subsidiary of Nestlé S.A. in 1998.
Nestlé Bangladesh has provided a various range of products and services for
people at all stages of life over the last two decades, assisting them in taking
good care about themselves and their customer families. They have spent a lot
of time collaborating with the community in which it operates, training
farmers, improving livelihoods, educating children and adolescents about good
nutrition, and empowering environmentally friendly functions.

PEST ANALYSIS:
Political factors: As Nestlé operates in over 190 countries, any change in
regulatory environments can have a significant effect on the company's
operations. Multinational corporations such as Nestlé are more likely to face
production bottlenecks as a result of government regulations and reforms. In
general, the more countries a business runs in, the more likely it is that policy
changes will obstruct operational activities.
Brexit case, for example, threw Nestlé's plans off track. Because of the
relocation, the livelihoods of input and food workers are jeopardised. Nestlé's
revenues and manufacture are heavily reliant on the European union.
Furthermore, the uncertainty of Brexit has jeopardised the entire UK food
supply. Because of the Brexit transition, Nestlé regarded shifting production
from Newcastle and York to Poland. Because Brexit is still up in the air, the firm
has little faith in the nation's growth. As a result, it is advisable to relocate
operations away from this volatile environment.
While political changes often have an impact on the business, shifting
operations out of the country has an impact on Britain's unstable climate.
Nestlé's departure would result in the loss of over 300 employees, further
complicating the already tumultuous political situation in the United Kingdom.

Keep in mind that few corporations have the power to influence political
stability, but Nestlé does.
ECONOMIC FACTORS:
Nestlé is experiencing financial difficulties because of rapidly changing foreign
exchange rates. As a corporate giant, the influence of foreign rates and prices
has a direct impact on a company. A relatively weak currency will result in
reduced of profit, depending on the geographical location.
Nestlé's income has risen in recent years. In fact, the company's earnings
increased by more than 40percent of total in 2018. According to the company,
profit has increased from $7.6 billion to $10 billion. These factors account for a
large part of this success: Markets in the United States and China, as well as
the sale of its confectionery company
SOCIAL FACTORS:
A business is affected by the social environment, which includes attitudes,
purchasing behaviours, and changing demographics. The majority's obsession
with healthy eating has had a significant impact on food and beverage
companies such as Nestlé. People want to eat less sugar and fewer calories.
Nestlé is aware of this. If it did not, the corporation would be in big trouble.
Nestlé is working to reduce the amount of sugar, salt, and saturated fat in most
of its products. This necessitates the reformulation of existing products, but it
also explores a range version of classic foods and beverages beloved by Nestlé
customers.
TECHNOLOGICAL FACTORS:
Nestlé should invest more in R&D. It has more innovation at its level to achieve
greater feats in the R&d team; social media, digital surveys, email marketing,
discounts... the list goes on.
Because of evolving technology, it is much easier to connect with audiences all
over the world. It also means that Nestlé has more possibilities for increasing
production, quality food, and food availability to purchasers.

Some companies are using blockchain technology to gain complete
information access to their products, from development to delivery. Nestlé can
also benefit from this because it reduces production time. It is as of now a
costly endeavour that will have to be phased. into each of Nestlé's production
lines.
Therefore, from the PEST analysis of Nestle we can say that Nestlé is a massive
multinational corporation with ties to 194 different countries. It has the
resources and the clout to have an impact on governments. It is also profitable,
despite major controversies surrounding Nestlé's ownership and views on
water rights. The company can adopt new technology to learn more about
what their customers want, but it may be for naught if they do not clean up
their public image.

meet physiological needs. Nestle also contains the ingredients required for
taste and satisfaction.
Nestlé's company's mission is to be the highest and most well-known food
producer in the world, while also making sure that the Nestlé brand is
compatible with high products. Nestle has already achieved one component of
its strategic goals of becoming the biggest supplier.
This goal is linked to another Nestle goal, which is to ensure that the product
creates long-term profits for shareholders, employees, consumers, business
partners, and the global economies in which Nestle functions.
Nestle's primary concern is to provide nutritional value to its customers. That is
why, on the corporation's website, it is clearly stated that Nestle is the nation's
top Nutrition, Health, and Wellness company.
CHALLENEGES FACED BY NESTLE:
ENGAGING WITH THE CONSUMERS:
Rapid engagement on conventional marketing platforms was critical, but
Nestlé stayed Both offline and internet, they have been deafeningly silent on
the subject.. Surprisingly, Nestlé's competitor ITC's Yippee noodles marketing
division appears to have capitalised on the Maggi dispute to increase market
share. It launched a publicity campaign in August 2015 trying to emphasize its
cutting-edge production To address client issues, we have facilities and
stringent testing protocols, as well as a 'You Ask, We Answer' approach.
Collaboration with regulatory authorities in emerging markets:
Due to the business's poor communication with officials, what began as a
simple 0.3 million penalty fine rapidly escalated into a with plenty national
issue. Nestlé was convinced right away that it was correct and that no further
discussion was necessary. Nestlé's attorney informed the Mumbai High Court
in July 2015 of the FSSAI's unfairness in initially authorising the product
packaging and then criticising Nestlé of MSG incorrectly labeled during the
prohibition.
THE PRODUCTION PROCESS AND RAW MATERIALS:
The report illustrates how purely present MSG content in the ingredients may
have contributed to the result of the test. SAJ Foodstuffs, headquartered in
Kolkata, was already FSSAI-certified and supplied roughly 4% of Maggi's yearly
8
output. Despite this, Nestlé decided to discontinue its contract with SAJ Food.
Goods to be manufactured Maggi, while also distributing other Nestlé product
lines. This begs the question of what caused the study's high levels of lead and
MSG. Nestlé's input materials sourcing and production costs account for 60%
of total company spending.
It is unclear whether the issue was caused by lower-quality raw materials, to be
fair to Nestlé, all part of the quality audits disclosed no flaws.
'Good Food, Good Life' is the brand promise. was aimed at Dabbawallas in the
Mumbai market.
It is critical for the future to build on such platforms with a mix of physical and
virtual media. Personalization and prompt responses to queries by any
stakeholder via relevant websites are essential. This contributes to the
development of confidence and trust in a corporate entity that is frequently
regarded as the "opponent" by certain ideological positions and target
customers.

CONCLUSION:
The introduction of food and beverages caused a major shift in consumer food
habits. Nestle has done a good job of increasing customer loyalty while
remaining a market opponent in the industry. Nestle has been one of the
biggest food-processing corporations in the world. Their expertise and efficacy
are the primary determinants of their products and quality. Nestle provides
quality, which leads to growth of the company. It has placed itself as a
premium based on certain grouped preferences, employing a multi-stage
categorization to meet the needs of social consumers. Providing brand-new
new products and services would indeed aid in the closure of gaps in its
existing products. extending promise fulfilment and fidelity
Consumers' issues with Nestlé Company Products are primarily nutritional in
nature. Many people, according to our research on the internet, are
dissatisfied with their diet.
The first concern is nutrition for the old people, which is heavily influenced by
a person's food and nutrition consumption. Undernutrition and a nutria diet
that is unbalanced can increase the probability of disease.
Nestlé should make more products for elderly adults, such as protein milk and
cornflakes with necessary nutrition that all older people can use daily, and they
should also make some natural products for those who are very fit and active
so that it can be a healthy snack.
