  • The World of Renova
    A Work Project, presented as part of the requirements for the Award of a Master Degree in International Management from Nova School of Business and Economics The world of Renova - Internationalization Plan to India - Ana Vieira – 22094 Catarina Dolleman – 22406 Catarina Leitão – 27290 Rita Craveiro – 22181 A Group Project carried out on the Export and Internationalization Field Lab with respect to the company Renova, under the supervision of Professor Pedro Pereira Gonçalves and Professor Pedro Teixeira Santos January 2017 Abstract This paper studies the viability of Renova’s internationalization to India. Its initial chapters include an analysis of the country, the Tissue & Hygiene industry and the company, as well as a section dedicated to the entry mode, in which an entry mode framework was created. Based on this tool, it was discovered that Renova should enter in India by direct export. Moreover, from the chapter on marketing strategy it was concluded that Renova should first export toilet paper, facial tissues, and napkins from its Red Label line, pursuing a premium positioning in the market. The products should be distributed first in Mumbai, through More’s retail chain and the wholesalers Metro and Walmart. Finally, despite India’s inherent risks and the industry’s challenges, a financial analysis suggests that this internationalization is viable (NPV = 215.565,66€) and worth to be followed. Key words: Internationalization Process, Entry Mode, Differentiation, Distribution 1 Acknowledgements “Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success”, Henry Ford. We believe this was the motto of our project from its early start until the end.

    KODAK MILESTONES 1879 - Eastman invented an emulsion-coating machine which enabled him to mass- produce photographic dry plates. 1880 - Eastman began commercial production of dry plates in a rented loft of a building in Rochester, N.Y. 1881 - In January, Eastman and Henry A. Strong (a family friend and buggy-whip manufacturer) formed a partnership known as the Eastman Dry Plate Company. ♦ In September, Eastman quit his job as a bank clerk to devote his full time to the business. 1883 - The Eastman Dry Plate Company completed transfer of operations to a four- story building at what is now 343 State Street, Rochester, NY, the company's worldwide headquarters. 1884 - The business was changed from a partnership to a $200,000 corporation with 14 shareowners when the Eastman Dry Plate and Film Company was formed. ♦ EASTMAN Negative Paper was introduced. ♦ Eastman and William H. Walker, an associate, invented a roll holder for negative papers. 1885 - EASTMAN American Film was introduced - the first transparent photographic "film" as we know it today. ♦ The company opened a wholesale office in London, England. 1886 - George Eastman became one of the first American industrialists to employ a full- time research scientist to aid in the commercialization of a flexible, transparent film base. 1888 - The name "Kodak" was born and the KODAK camera was placed on the market, with the slogan, "You press the button - we do the rest." This was the birth of snapshot photography, as millions of amateur picture-takers know it today. 1889 - The first commercial transparent roll film, perfected by Eastman and his research chemist, was put on the market.

  • Kodak Appeals to Court to Terminate 1921 and 1954 Decrees That Restrict Pricing Policies
    Kodak Appeals to Court to Terminate 1921 and 1954 Decrees that Restrict Pricing Policies Michael Baye and Patrick Scholten prepared this case to serve as the basis for classroom discussion rather than to represent economic or legal fact. The case is a condensed and slightly modified version of the public copy of the DOJ's Brief filed in Appeal to the District Court's decision in November 24, 1994 to terminate prior antitrust decrees which restricted Kodak's pricing policies. No. 94-6190. KODAK Kodak’s History George Eastman and his Eastman Kodak Co. pioneered amateur photography. In a 1921 consent decree1, the government concluded that Eastman Kodak monopolized the amateur photography market in violation of the Section 2 of the Sherman Act by buying competitors and imposing various forms of exclusive dealing contracts on retailers. The 1921 decree barred Kodak from "preventing dealers ... from freely selling goods produced by competitors," from hindering dealers in freely selling Kodak products, and from selling "so- called fighting brands" or any product without the Kodak name on it.2 Kodak began to market a color slide film called Kodachrome in the late 1930s, and a color print film, Kodacolor, by 1954. At that time, it had over 90% of the color film market. Since Kodak sold its color film only as a package deal with processing included in the price, it also had over 90% of the color photofinishing market. The tying arrangement resulted in a government antitrust suit and a consent decree in 1954. The 1954 decree permanently enjoined Kodak from "[t]ying or otherwise connecting in any manner the sale of its color 3 film to the processing thereof, or the processing of its color film to the sale thereof".

  • Chapter 6. the Internationalisation of Portuguese Manufacturing Firms
    CHAPTER 6. THE INTERNATIONALISATION OF PORTUGUESE MANUFACTURING FIRMS 6.1. INTRODUCTION The recent evolution of outward FDI flows was discussed in chapter 4. The picture presented was one of a very recent phenomenon. Only in the 1990s, and in particular in the second half, Portuguese investment abroad became relevant. But growth has been exponential and the enthusiasm was transmitted to the Portuguese authorities which made the internationalisation of domestically owned firms a political objective. It is interesting that these transformations happened at a time when foreign firms seem to be less inclined to invest in Portugal (see chapter 4). The result was a peculiar behaviour of the Portuguese IDP (section 4.6). It emulates the pattern of evolution of the most developed countries, suggesting that Portugal is joining the group of latecomers in foreign investment (together with Austria, Spain, and others). However, the Portuguese IDP conceals a loss of competitiveness in terms of the country’s ability to attract foreign investment (see chapter 5). In this context, the investigation of the internationalisation of the Portuguese firms may 141 yield important information. It is important, for example, to identify whether the growth of outward FDI results from a new strength of national firms or it represents “escape investment”, a response to an hypothetical reduced attractiveness of the domestic location. The internationalisation process of the new Portuguese MNCs may also be important for international business theory. Foreign investors from newly industrialised countries like Portugal can be expected to be in many respects distinct from those from more developed nations. First, they are smaller than the long established MNCs they will compete with.
