On an international level, the products are introduced and supplied to be availed by the consumers. Globalization gives helps to the company in conducting the day to day activities of the company.

With the latest technology company can easily promote the products by creating attractive advertisements. Like Nestle promote its chocolates by giving focus on making attractive taglines that induce customers to purchase the products.

It is essential to give focus on the needs and wants of the consumers, so that the company can survive in an effective manner (Scott, 2015)
The product that is taken into consideration for this topic is Maggi. The discussion will be made on the product Maggi.

It directly impacts on the operations conducted on daily basis and also on the profitability. The age group on which emphasis is given is from 11 to 40. Due to the taste and quality of the product, the product has acquired the large market share. The customer can only be attracted if the company offers quality products. The demand for the product is more in the market as proper marketing strategies are adopted by Maggi.

The company gives emphasis on teenagers, as it is easy for the company to increase the sale in an effective manner.

Maggi also tries to enhance the image in the market by giving attractive discounts and also a variety of flavors so that the customers can feel satisfied and can avail the products in a proper manner.
The Role of Globalization
Blackberry
The unsuccessful brand is blackberry that has not attained success in the market. It is seen it is unsuccessful in the market. As the company has not considered the demand of the consumers, so the negative impact is given on the image of the company. It is seen that they target the teenagers but the features and model introduced by the company are not according to the needs and wants of the customers. If the comparison is made with other brands like Samsung it is evaluated that price is high according to the features offered by the consumers (Shree et al., 2017).
The products are costly, so the individual thinks again before purchasing the products. The strategies used by the company are also not so effective. By not taking into consideration proper strategies the negative impact is analyzed on the sale of the products. It is essential to promote the products in a proper manner, so that the company can survive in the competitive environment. It is important for the company to consider the promotional techniques, so that the customers can be induced to purchase the products and services in an effective manner (Hunt, 2014). Blackberry should give emphasis on evaluating the needs and wants of the consumers and should also focus on the features that are offered by the other brands.
The company can easily achieve goals and objectives, but proper marketing is essential to survive in the competitive environment. The cost should also be reduced, so that low-income group can also purchase the products. To make the product successful in the market, the focus should be given on the target market. The target of the company is mainly on teenagers, so the products should also be designed by analyzing the requirements and preferences.
Like Maggi offered a variety of flavors in the market. By having the good image the company has accomplished goals and objectives in an effective manner. If the requirements of the customers are not taken into consideration, then the negative impact is seen on the overall performance of the company (Woodside, 2016).
So, to accomplish goals and objectives the companies should give emphasis on adopting strategies that enhance the share of the market and also the profitability. In the competitive market, it is seen that to establish proper image the company should offer discounts so that the customers can be availed effectively. The company can only attain success when the organization has proper marketing strategies and image in the market. Marketing plays a great to be successful in the market. If the company is successful in the market, then goals and objectives can be accomplished effectively.
