Although, the author has written this book in a very humorous way and used sarcasm in certain instances that makes a person smile while reading it, however many serious issues such as the acceptability of globalization, how it has caused what the author defines as an “American cultural cleavage” and why overall globalization failed are being discussed. The tone of the author has generally been subtle and like mentioned before, he has used humor to lighten up the mood.

In comparing 2012 viewership for soccer’s Champions League Final and the NFL Super Bowl, America’s biggest sporting event was for the first time outclassed by 300 million people worldwide watching soccer to 111.3 million Americans nationally watching football (Joyce). This is not even considering the viewership of the European Cup, the World Cup, and the Olympics (of which American football is not included). There is simply no contest; soccer is a world sport, its leagues are followed internationally by the majority of the world’s population. Football, while controlling the largest share of the U.S.’s sport market, is limited to the United States. Furthermore, soccer is rising in popularity in the U.S., in part because of the growing population influx from Central and South America who are avid soccer

Gender is frequently adopted as a main tool of marketing in the case of particular technological devices and one of the most illustrative examples can be observed by looking at the design of razors. The blade itself appears to be no longer important in the contemporary society when considering the overall design of the razor. It is actually hidden and all that people can see is the impressive design found in both razors meant for men and razors meant for women. Moreover, the first thing that people are likely to see when buying a razor is the brand being present on the most prominent side of the package. The marketing strategies devised by razor producers are especially gendered and even their names are meant to influence buyers into thinking that they need to buy particular products.

Synopsis: Gillette has long been known for innovation in both product development and marketing strategy. In the highly competitive, but mature, razor and blade market, Gillette holds a commanding worldwide market share. The peak of its innovation occurred in 2006 with the introduction of the Fusion 5-bladed razor. Today, innovation in razors and blades is thwarted by a lack of new technology and increasing consumer reluctance to pay for the “latest and greatest” in shaving technology. Gillette must decide how to put the razor wars behind them and maintain or increase its share of the global razor market.

For this reason, Gillette has always been trying to innovate in the market with new products. But they did not want their product to be bought just because they are a novelty but because it was perceived by the customer as a good quality product and have a staying power and product loyalty. This can be illustrated by the launch of the “Fusion” product by

Because of their similarities, Proctor & Gamble and Gillette are a good strategic fit. Between the two entities they have the ability to combine operations, technology, resources, distribution channels and research costs in efforts to drastically cut spending. With lower costs, and the merger complete, the collaboration of Proctor & Gamble and Gillette should achieve a 1+1=3 effect.

Gillette is successful because the focus on the one thing they know and that is men. They understand what men need for their grooming needs, and their products are sold all over the world (P Kotler, 2017). Gillette’s popularity has worked because of several factors, including high-quality innovation, consumer research, and mass communications. With their research, and the fact they have kept improving their product, Gillette has made many breakthrough product innovations, which should allow their success to keep increasing. In 1971, there was the Trac II, the first twin-blade shaving system, then the Atra in 1977 there was a razor with a pivoting head, and then in 1989 they developed the Sensor the first razor with spring-mounted twin blades dubbed (P Kotler, 2017). In 1998, Gillette introduced the Mach3 it was the first triple-blade system, surpassed only by the 2006 launch of the six-blade Fusion, promoted as “the best shave on the planet.” (P Kotler, 2017) It is possible that Gillette can become as successful with Women as Men due to the fact Procter & Gamble acquired Gillette in 2005 and Procter & Gamble are experts at marketing to women, due to the fact most of their lines such as dishwashing liquid, laundry detergent, and hygiene products are aim for their woman clients.
