    Charles Chocolates Case

    The premium chocolate industry is a large market in the United States and continues to grow around 10% annually. It is also populated with very strong competitors both internationally, with companies like Godiva (Nestle), and local companies like Delice. Both competitors are priced higher than Charles and have higher sales. This is most likely because Godiva and Delice have modern trendy packaging for their products. The number and strength of competitors means that buyers have very high bargaining power, but it also means that the threat of new entrants is low because it is hard to gain a piece of a market saturated with such powerful players. The majority of the suppliers to the chocolate industry sell commodity products whose price is set by the market and their power and influence is low. There are numerous substitute products for affluent customers’, confections and pastries being the most significant, but chocolate will always be a stable product so it is a medium level threat.…

    Recent trends toward globalization have revolutionized the confectionary industry. Although Hershey’s has traditionally focused on the American domestic market, it has recently attempted to diversify into international markets. However, these attempts have been largely unsuccessful, and Hershey’s global market share has decreased over the past five years. Hershey’s failure to expand internationally stems from two misfits. Hershey faces an external misfit between its business-level strategy of differentiation using American core values and changes in the global environment, as well as an internal misfit between its corporate-level strategy of international expansion and its formal organization. To resolve these issues, Hershey’s must align itself to meet the desires of its new customer base, while simultaneously uniting all members of its company.…

    Chapter four was extremely revelatory in the fact that the provision of the historical background paints a broader and more accurate view in addition to providing further insight into God’s methods and scheme to redeem the fallen condition of man. In addition, it is extremely significant that nearly 400 years passes between the Old and New Testaments. A general reading of the Bible by an average individual in the faith would likely not reveal this information. On a side note, I am interested in learning more in depth about this seemingly ignored era where God is setting the stage for the Christ. Overall, the historical context was enlightening and personally the most significant point of interest in Chapter Four. This revelation about the “400 years of silence” demonstrates not only the need for constant learning and growing in the faith, but reverence for God’s redemptive plot for man.…
