INTRODUCTION

Tide was introduced in 1946 as the world 's first heavy-duty detergent, and it outsold every other brand within weeks. It became so popular that store owners were forced to limit the quantity purchased per customer.
Procter and Gamble 's Tide is among the most popular and widely patronized detergents in the world. P&G takes pride in pronouncing that the product is its flagship brand (Decker, 1998). Since its launching in 1946, the world 's first synthetic detergent established its market supremacy. With its wide array of products offered such as Tide Liquid, Tide Powder, Tide with Febreze Freshness, Tide Coldwater, Tide with touch of Downy, Tide with Bleach, Tide with Bleach Alternative, Tide HE (High Efficiency), Tide Kick, Tide Stainbrush, Tide Buzz, and others, it continued its stability in the market and its fifty years of commitment in helping families in their laundry needs (Tide Fabric Care Network, 2006).
Fifty years ago, Filipino housewives had to make do with soap flakes to clean their clothes. Soap flakes were not the perfect solution — they couldn 't remove tough stains, dulled

    With such meager beginnings and at the time of inception, their product was needless to say, unpopular. Soap in the early part of the nineteenth century was not on the priority list for consumers to spend their monies on. P&G depended heavily on their candle making but as the light bulb became more popular they quickly realized that candles had become a thing of the past and quickly turned their attentions to the soap business. With a few governmental contracts and some investors, they began to invest in chemically enhancements to their mainstay product, soap. Approximately 1879, James N. Gamble, son of the founder was a trained chemist and with his abilities he had developed an inexpensive pure white, floating soap named ivory.…

    Proctor and Gamble has spent nearly a decade developing Tide Pods, and thus far, it appears that their work has paid off. Tide Pods have claimed a 68% market share in the new laundry pods category, which now accounts for 7.3% of the total multibillion dollar laundry industry (Monk, Tide Pods successful enough to boost P&G's earnings). Tide Pods are unit-dose liquid packets that are twice as compacted as liquid detergent. They contain three different chambers and products: a liquid detergent, stain remover, and brightening agent. Tide Pods unique chemistry and packaging add a little magic to a despised chore.…

    The main issue of the P&G Korea case is centered around the question of market share. P&G and Unilever are the two major market shareholders in the Korean detergent industry holding 80-85% of the total market share. The remaining 15-20% of the market is held by low-priced local Korean brands. There are no new markets either company can tap for further market share since most Korean households already use laundry detergent, making the market saturated. Other than peripheral chemical changes claimed to be “improvements”, there are no major innovations to be explored for product development or diversification. Per Ansoff’s strategic opportunities matrix, P&G and Unilever are both focused on Market Penetration, working to increase their prospective shares of the Korean detergent market.…

    Until the arrival of the washing machine, washing clothes meant a few days of really hard work. Every week all, year long, there was a washday. A woman would scrub the clothes. “The soap, which they had made from lye, was not very effective but they could not afford to buy soap. Lifting the clothes out the vat and wringing them was an effort. Of course, their hands were raw and swollen.” (The impact of the washing machine on daily laving in post-1950 Santiago, Chile, 2006, pp.85)…

In Roman times a person would whiten clothing by rubbing it against a rock while letting soap lay on it. The soap was made of animal fat.…
