  • Unilever Acquires the Vegetarian Butcher
    Unilever acquires The Vegetarian Butcher 20 December 2018 | News | By NFS Correspondent Keeping in mind its new strategy of expanding its portfolio into plant-based foods that are healthier and have a lower environmental impact, Unilever has acquired The Vegetarian Butcher For The Vegetarian Butcher, the acquisition is the next step in its ambition to grow into ‘the largest butcher in the world’. Jaap Korteweg, a ninth-generation meat farmer and a real meat lover, became a vegetarian and founded The Vegetarian Butcher in 2007 to satiate his own need for quality ‘meat’, which was not produced from animals. The products made by The Vegetarian Butcher are being sold in over 4,000 outlets in 17 countries. According to Korteweg, the acquisition has come at the right time. “We want to take the next step - conquer the world. It is our mission to make plant-based ‘meat’ the standard. We believe that with Unilever’s international network, this acquisition will help to accelerate our mission.” Unilever and The Vegetarian Butcher started working together in 2016 when they jointly launched the ‘Vegetarian Meatballs in Satay Sauce’ and ‘Vegetarian Meatballs in Tomato Sauce’, which were marketed under the Unox brand. The acquisition is a step on Unilever’s journey towards a portfolio with more plant-based products. Currently, Unilever is selling nearly 700 products with V-label in Europe. In the Netherlands, these include products from Unox, Knorr, Hellmann’s, Conimex and Ben & Jerry’s brands. Nitin Paranjpe, President Foods & Refreshment Unilever: “The Vegetarian Butcher is a brand with a clear mission, many loyal ambassadors, a good following on social media and a strong position in the market.

  • How Can International Companies Adapt Their Customer Communication Tools to the Cultures of Greece, Lithuania and the Nederlands?
    Linnaeus University How can International Companies adapt their customer communication tools to the cultures of Greece, Lithuania and The Nederlands? Authors: Pavlos Sakoglou, Danny Ubas, Sandra Stalaučinskaitė Tutor: Anders Hytter Examinator: Anders Hytter 1 Linnaeus University Executive Summary The globalization led international companies to expand in all the continents and to operate in many countries with different cultures and etiquette. In every different culture with its own traditions, values and behavior, an international company has the need, in order to be successful, to modify their management planning, the expansion strategies and of course the customer communication tools concerning the products and the clients. Many companies have a big variety of products and when it comes to promote them in different cultures, they need to plan a whole new publicity campaign and a new advertisement planning. Or do they? We aim to answer our research question which is How can International Companies adapt their customer communication tools to the cultures of Greece, Lithuania and The Nederlands, by examining theory which concludes Cross-Cultural Theory, Communication and Hofstede’s study, and also the empirical study from the countries we chose to focus our research: Greece, Lithuania and The Nederlands. The different cultures of a South-European country, and Eastern-European country and a Western-European country, is a quite representative combination to compare and conclude finally how can international companies adapt their customer communication tools. When it comes to the advertisement and the communication tools, we are referring mostly to television spots and video clips, printed material, promotion products with the brand on them, and many others.

  • The Adoption of Form Characteristics of the Internet by the Older Media Master Thesis
    The Adoption of Form Characteristics of the Internet by the Older Media Master Thesis Supervisor: G.M. Welling Communication and Information Sciences, University of Groningen June 24, 2009 D.M. Wiegers S1541749 [email protected] Abstract The underlying thought of this research is that media have a communicative influence on each other. From that perspective the kickback process, the older media adopting visual characteristics from the Internet and as a result looking more Internet-like, is analysed. Some authors call this process the internetisation of the older media. Both a quantitative analysis comparing pre-Internet and post- Internet media and a qualitative analysis interviewing professionals and users were carried out. It turns out the kickback effect takes place and already manifests itself in different ways, though the reverse process of the Internet taking over the characteristics of the older media is likely to be even stronger. Keywords: remediation; kickback; internetisation; Internet; influence; media; television; newspapers; books. ii Contents 1.
