In business main objective lies with profits and profits come with margins between price and cost of merchandise or through large scale selling. There are more benefits for both consumers and business men with global expansion of business. The companies going into global markets need to make changes correspond to local markets to get attraction from customers to buy their products or services.

In coming study we will look at the advantages and disadvantages of the make believe a look at the following advantages and disadvantages of global marketing. There is different situation with different companies around globe. There are certain advantages and disadvantage at same time for globalisation of business.Advantages Reduction in marketing costs If we look at amounts of marketing for global business it looks huge entirely if you comparability it with unit costs or costs relating profits past its reduced from the costs that were being made for local businesses. Global levels in its scope a global business have wide global level of markets that can generate more earnings throug h sustainability of demands over the periods and in new markets as business expands. Brand images Now a day growing global marketing makes easy for businesses to make a static image that can be spread over the continents through different markets. Smart Ideas global businesses are able to make use of the marketing their ideas to have a strategy about products that can be very smart in its way to generate more profits through these innovative ideas on a major global scale. uniformity Throughout the world companies have kind of uniform approach related to their business that helps in monitoring and developing business with less efforts.Disadvantages occupy of consumer An American consumer have different choice from consumer in South Africa that costs companies lots of money to make such markments.

Local product It is allowable for some pro duct to get adjust for example for a Japanese with kind of traditional, and for an American some modern aspect related to product. This need different strategy and technology to deal. Local Laws policies of the play along must be in accordance to local laws of their countries. May be laws abroad may be conflicting in these policies. Disputes infrastructure sometimes brings disputes in the attention and with authorities that endlessly costs to businesses. Wealth concentration This is believed that globalisation is concentrated with wealth seeking activities and its major focus is not development and social welfare but profit seeking. the income gaps It has produced lot of gapes between the developed and underdeveloped countries.2.3 Culture of Global BusinessShould always be economic growth at the site of a unique cluster with a fleet of pool of skilled and educated workers. It had access to the depth of the market, or rather access to the last naut mi is always as conflict or ch allenge corporate world with some companies having advantages due to huge investments. Costly structure is the global challenges for economy and growth, but need for rethinks about value chain and activities that made distance and time irrelevant. Some companies has adopted with these challenges by the strategy used for this is flooding of money and men power that have set for talents and culture of discipline it also have enhanced the capacities and skills of the labour.This global innovation is quite mixed deeply to the organizational of culture as it is based on multi-talented that make advantage for companies. Thus there is casualty of integration of cultures and local knowledge with a wide range of global things to make things work fast and better way.The world today, and technology flourish because of the Indian information technology experts. Are imported motorcycles Bajaj and Kawasaki today heart to face with Harley Davidson, BMW and Honda. It is estimated that today there are about 3000 Challenger at the global level. These companies will be a force to be reckoned with because they simplifiers, adopters, Interpreters and drive to succeed and drop dead in the coming days.They should be able to compete on the basis of the competitors time to a new model for the success of companies in this new business environment where it competes with everyone and everyone from everywhere. (Gitman, 2008) This could become a competition based on time if and only if they can provide greater value to many times on the model more flexible than the competitor, whether it is another competitor or global giant.

There are many cultural issues that can go beyond simple things of language and time differences. There are many issues related to management, efficiency and reporting. All big organizations have global business these days and the managers at headquarters have to manage with difficulties and differences of all these countries and their cultures. There must be best options on table for telling management either it is based on communication or geographical diversity. There can be projects that face with cultural barriers at the start but with adopting a successful multi-cultural level team up that suits the local systems these can be covered.It is significant to be familiar with minor diversity that can appear later as enough thing to influence the outcome of any project. For example if distance of countries is not more than they can have a cultural similarity like UK and Spain. But if it can be like United UK and Australia that have distance but similar cultures. But if they have different culture and distance that can bring problem for establishment of effective teams and results for a company.These assumptions can be incorrect, association has shown that almost always from any one of the following differences will affect the project, and these differences should not be administered properly.1 identify the difference2 Language difference3 Time Difference4 cultural difference2.5 Key elements for starting New Business in MarketsA) ResearchDetails on the environment through any legitimate agent, also get the knowledge of history.

The industry should look at its large part to determine the business strategy and particularly growth strategy. (Hill, 2007) also on the basis that the economy is essential to this industry, and the fortuity of profit is determined by the industry is very competitive interactions. That can be drawn where these interactions are intense, tend away from the profits of competing activities. Where light and competitors seem manageable, and the possibility of profit tends to be high. After making understand ing of all main elements of competition in this industry is easy to look into things.Porter made identification of five fundamental forces which collectively illustrate the state of any business current or future destiny.a) Competition in the industry1. What is the volume of competition among competitors2. Is there any threat of some new entrants to this market3. What is level of bargaining power that suppliers have4. What kind and level of bargaining customers have in the industry5. What kind of alternative products are available as a threatThese forces help to determine presence or absence of opportunities that can be there for industry or company to gain high returns.As the porter five forces are weaker for some company it have chance to get more opportunity in the business to make higher growth and profits. More generally understanding is about forces that how these affect competition within the industry and these then determine position of company and its strategy options in f uture.b) Consequences for Toyotai) The threat of entrants (Very high)ii) Power suppliers (Very Low)iii) Threat of substitutes (Very high)iv) Power of buyers (low)v) Threat Rivalry (high)5 terminationCompanies in the current environment need strategies at the global level since their starts of the work and for any new launch in business. There is needed to look for the growth at the highest international level and there should be measures that are necessary to control major declines in business. There is need to avoid stagnation in one area of world that makes unequal growth of development. There is need for SMART as specific, measureable, achievable, right and time bound strategies to survive in this global business environment. We can see how Toyota and Skoda making things moving in their favour by diversity of strategies. There is always need for a good global image. All businesses need to find ways to keep pace with this growing global economy and competition in the markets.
