Paul Bulcke

CEO Nestle since April 2008

Paul Bulcke, future plan and emerging market

April 2008 appointed as a new CEO of Nestle a Nestle veteran Importance on Nestle culture, long term performance Saw a different path for the company Emphasis on internal growth R&D aligned to consumer preference GLOBE- as a vehicle of continuous improvement

Growth Platforms identified:

1. 2. 3. 4. Health, nutrition and wellness Emerging Markets Out-of-home consumption Premiumization

Recipe of Nestles consistent success

The historic success of nestle was built on deep agricultural supply chains Strong local teams Strategic acquisitions Constant development of new products & product adaptation to suit changing customer taste Economies of scale R & D capability Decentralization- autonomy to the country heads Creating long term relation with suppliers

Should Nestl move towards pharmaceutical model? What are the implications?

Clashes with Nestles history of successful acquisitions to add profitable brands and product groups Pharmaceutical model can be characterized as time consuming, costly, and risky. Different markets have differing needs and preferences. Patents may be ineffective across geographies based on culture, customs, and regulations

 How long will food patents last? Will it be enough to cover high R&D costs or will Nestle need to pass on costs to consumers thereby breaking its goal to keep products affordable? Is it possible to find a universal blockbuster product given the differences between food/nutrition and drugs/diseases? Competitors may be able to develop products faster and or outspend on R&D (arms race?)

GLOBE systems
Global Business Excellence in July 2000. Information system Unified data standard and tech infrastructure purpose - maximize operational efficiency, flexibility and competitiveness within the company. GLOBE is basically a re-engineering program designed to standardize data and information systems in all Nestl factories, sales offices and distribution centers.

What does GLOBE really mean?

Centralization
centralized control over purchasing ,production and distribution in all factories instant decision making

Internal Market
affects internal purchasing within Nestl faster transfer of production within the Nestl system

Internal Competition
comparing individually factories internationally all benchmarking will be product-specific intensifying competition between each factory globally

Outsourcing
enables increased outsourcing of production, how? exercise the same levels of monitoring and control in factories that are not owned by nestle GLOBE had been implemented in 170 factories in 17 countries. But only 83 of these were Nestl factories

From F&B towards health, wellness and nutrition

Nestl presently is to develop a strategy on 'wellness that builds on its tradition of producing nutritional products. Was based on market research it was observed that the customer focused more enhancing his/her health, by means of a physical state which is maintained by good diet, exercise and life habits. To address these needs of the market, the strategy on developing wellness products were identified.

Evaluation of overall strategy implementation

We will use Mckinseys 7s model

 The model is based on the theory that, for an organization to perform well, these seven elements need to be aligned and mutually reinforcing. Hard Elements
Strategy,Structure,Systems

Soft Elements
