    In the summer of 2011, corporate giant Kraft Foods surprised Wall Street by announcing that it would split itself in two. One company, which would keep the current moniker, would operate in North American grocery business and include iconic brands like Kraft Macaroni & Cheese, Oscar Mayer meats and Maxwell House coffee. The other company would be tagged with Mondelez International and it would consist of the global snack business that includes tasty brands such as Oreo cookies and Trident gums, as well as the numerous brands that came with the 2010 Cadbury acquisition (Woods, 2012).…

    2. Kraft’s marketing strategy will benefit significantly from buying Cadbury in two different ways. Firstly, when we look at the brand portfolio of Kraft, which is the world’s second biggest food company. It is clear that there are plenty of old-timer cash cows, such as cheese, Nabisco and Suchard, but there are only very few rising stars. According to the Boston Matrix, cash cow means a product with a high share of a slow growth market, which can generate a stable profit. Stars are the products that are in high growth markets with a relatively high share of that market of that market. In this case, The cash cows of Kraft would be Maxwell House Coffee, Toblerone chocolate which can generate a stable profit but no growth. On the other hand, There is a star product in Cadbury, which is the chewing gum business ( Trident and Trebor Mint Gum ) in a high growth market with a relatively high share. And Cadbury also owns a number of long-established brands, its chewing gum business is regarded as having huge growth potential. Therefore, I think Kraft would definitely benefit from buying Cadbury with it’s chewing gum business, because stars tend to generate high amounts of income in a high growth market. Secondly, Kraft generates 80% of all its profit in America, and its stuck at home while the biggest areas for future growth would be china, India and other developing countries. Cadbury generates only 30% of its income in Britain, and also a major brand in Brazil and India. In the first half of 2009, 69% of its sales growth came from ‘emerging markets’, which I think Cadbury is having a better performance than Kraft’s. Because Cadbury has made a huge success in those developing countries, like India…

    In this case, we will analyse how a hostile takeover creates benefits for both parties. The hostile takover approach can be considered as ”taking over a company with a hostile manner” but with the offers and deals, it becomes a solution to many different structures within the company.

    The gothic literary movement is a part of the larger Romantic Movement. Gothic literature shares many of the traits of romanticism, such as the emphasis on emotions and the imagination. Gothic literature goes beyond the melancholy evident in most romantic works, however, and enters into the areas of horror and decay, becoming preoccupied with death. “The Fall of the House of Usher” by Edgar Allan Poe is a powerful example of gothic fiction, whereas James Fenimore Cooper’s The Last of the Mohicans serves as the romantic predecessor, illustrating the differences and the similarities between romantic and gothic literature.…
