Marketing Strategies Analysis for Major Brands

1. Choose one internationally recognized brand (McDonald’s, Nike, Burger King, or Samsung) and analyze how it adapts its marketing strategies to different cultural and ethnic groups around the world. In response, discuss specific examples of how the brand adjusts its products, advertising, or promotional approaches to match local traditions, values, or consumer expectations. Mention at least one major success where the adaptation helped the brand grow in a foreign market, as well as one challenge or setback the brand faced due to cultural differences or misalignment. The response should be a short-written report in 1-2 pages. (20 points)
2. Choose a recent personal purchase (game, gadget, clothing, car, home appliance, or other things). Relate and explain it using the consumer decision-making process. Describe how the need was recognized, what information you searched for, how you evaluated alternatives, and what led to your final purchase decision. Conclude with your post-purchase experience. Write a 2–3 page reflection connecting each stage of the process to your experience. (15 points)
3. Ask 2 people(family members or friends) about a purchase they regretted and summarize their experiences. Explain how each case reflects the concept of post-purchase dissonance. Analyze the common reasons for their dissatisfaction. Conclude by suggesting practical ways marketers could reduce such dissonance through better communication, customer support, or product guarantees.
