CG Growth Opportunities in international market Page 16

understanding of the place and the business condition there. Also, there might be times when a particular country can be facing some sort of an upheaval too. Some of the major challenges faced by CG are:

Some of the challenges are: Competition New boundaries of competition and new sources of competition emerge when a company enters into new market. Moreover the basis for competition also changed. As CG enters into new market it faces many competitors. Environmental issues There may exist different environmental issues indifferent aspects like demand for recycling, more efficient use of resources, greater responsibility for protecting the environment, limiting toxic waste, as well as to educate consumers and to develop more "user friendly" products are all compounding the tasks and demands placed on the organization.

Localization Establishing a strong local presence by developing new products and adapting to local tastes and preferences is a difficult task. Similarly CG faces many problems when it enters into other Asian countries and western countries. It should spend lots for research to meet the tastes and preferences of consumers. New Technology Technology is rapidly altering the nature of competition and strategy in many industries. It is costly and difficult to cope up with changing technology. For
CG Growth Opportunities in international market Page 17

instance, the objective of CG-Mani pal Schools would be to provide quality education at a reasonable cost to the children of Nepal. The schools would be designed to use the right combination of technology and pedagogy for an effective learning process. But as technology changes rapidly its difficult and costly to meet the objectives as stated. Difficulty to meet international level of quality "Quality is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution. It represents the wise choice of many alternatives and as we entered the 21st century, the gleaming horizon awaits our vision towards globalization. So meeting high level of quality to satisfy foreign consumer is also challengeable.

Other general challenges


Differences in consumer response to marketing mix elements Differences in brand and product development and the competitive environment Differences in the legal environment, some of which may conflict with those of the home market Differences in the institutions available, some of which may call for the creation of entirely new ones (e.g. infrastructure) Differences in administrative procedures

Differences in product placement. Differences in the administrative procedures and product placement can occur
