Nestle was founded in 1866 by Henri Nestle. It started off with one man’s initiative to produce infant formula (for infants who are intolerant to their mothers’ milk) and grew into a multi- national cooperation worldwide. Nestle has more than 250,000 employees worldwide and factories all around globally.
The infant product was so successful that it created demand all over Europe. Eventually this success brought in many business joint ventures and the company underwent many name changes along the way. Nestle started to enhance its product varieties and started to introduce baby cereals, breakfast cereals, chocolates, bottled drinks, beverages, ice creams, dairy products, food seasoning , pet food and many more. The product’s growth was encouraged by aggressive R&D (Research & Development). Nestlé is a successful company that has been around for 145 years and still its headquarter inVevey, Switzerland. The company’s “objectives are to be recognized as the world leader and Nutrition, Health, and Wellness, trusted by all its stakeholders and to be the reference for financial performance in its industry” .Nestlé Environmental Advisory Group meets regularly to review current environmental issues and to anticipate potential concerns.A review of the three most recent annual reports, which include the company’s balance sheet and income statement, displayed how Nestlé is trying to be the reference of financial performance in its industry. Reviewing the company’s assets, liabilities, and revenues reiterates Nestlé’s success over the past couple of years.Today Nestlé is seen across grocery stores; however, the general population identifies them based on their brands. Nestlé’s most recent achievement was the purchase of Kraft’s frozen pizza business.

What is SWOT? Why SWOT analysis is important, and how it affects strategic decision making.
SWOT Analysis
The term "SWOT" is an acronym for the words "strengths", "weaknesses", "threats" and opportunities. SWOT Analysis is the most renowned tool for audit and analysis of the overall strategic position of the business and its environment. Specifically, SWOT is a basic, Importance of SWOT analysis:
SWOT analysis is very important. When attempting to determine where your marketing efforts need to be placed, the SWOT Analysis shows you the areas where you’re doing fine and where you really need a helping hand. It gives you an overview of where your company stands. Be prepared for what you will see. Not everything will be perfect. You will have weaknesses and you may even be surprised at the areas that you thought were strong that really aren’t. You will see the internal and external factors that are affecting these various areas within your company.

Weaknesses are the characteristics that put your business at a disadvantage to others. Conducting a SWOT analysis can help you identify these characteristics and minimize or improve them before they become a problem.
Seizing opportunities
A SWOT analysis can help you identify opportunities that your business could take advantage of to make greater profits. Opportunities are created by external factors, such as new consumer trends and changes in the market. if you do have the capability to seize an opportunity and don´t, it could also be damaging.

Page | 10
A profitable company can be attracted by new entrants. Economies of scale mean larger firms can produce at lower cost per unit. This tends to lower the number of firms in the industry and reduce competition. Brand name and proprietary are those characteristics that cannot be copied at low cost by competitors will be a barrier to entry.
2. Threat of Substitutes:
Substitute products refer to the products having ability of satisfying customer’s needs effectively. In Porter's model, substitute products refer to products in other industries. To the economist, a threat of substitutes exists when a product's demand is affected by the price change of a substitute product. If the price of substitutes is lower, the competitive threat increases as the price differential increases.
3. Bargaining power of suppliers:
A producing industry requires raw materials - labor, components, and other supplies. Differentiation of inputs means that different suppliers provide different input characteristics for inputs that basically do the same job. The greater the degrees of differentiation among suppliers the more bargaining power suppliers have. The greater the number and closeness of substitute inputs the lower the bargaining power of suppliers.
4. Bargaining Power of Buyers:
Buyer concentration versus firm concentration refers to the extent of concentration in the buyer’s industry compared to the extent of concentration in your industry. The more concentrated the buyer’s industry relative to your industry the greater the bargaining power of buyers has. Product differences and Brand identity increase bargaining power of a company.
5. Current Rivalry:
Industry growth is the speed at which the market is growing. Rapidly growing markets provide less incentive for firms to aggressively compete with each other.
Intermittent overcapacity is the amount demand fluctuates during a year (or over a business cycle) and the impact lower demand has on how efficiently the firm is able to use its plant and equipment. In some industries a decrease in demand leads to significant idle productive capacity, while other industries are not as susceptible to this factor. Concentration and balance is the number of firms in the industry and their relative size. An industry in which a few firms supply most of the output is likely to not be very competitive because the large firms will control the market.

The power of Porter’s five forces varies from industry to industry. This five forces model help in making strategic decisions as it is used by the managers to determine industry’s competitive structure
Porter’s Five Forces Model for Nestle’
Porter’s Five Forces model analysis helps us to contrast a competitive environment. We analyze these five forces for NESTLE. To aid in our evaluation of Nestle’ and its status in the industry, we will apply Porter’s Five Forces Model to the company.
Threat of New Entrants
Nestle has huge products and brand name. The food processing industry is very large and competitive; it is not uncommon for firms within the industry to do quite well. Luckily for Nestle, the company has been around for over a century and boasts a long history of quality products and consumer satisfaction which has allowed the company to obtain a considerable share of the market. As a result, new entrants into the industry must attempt to seize a portion of Nestlé’s market share in order to survive. Essentially, Nestle is constantly a target and so the threat of new entrants is moderate.
Threat of Substitute GoodsNestle is beset with the threat of substitute goods. From bottled water to lean pockets, there are arrays of similar products that compete directly with Nestle. It is vital for Nestle to continuously find new ways to improve its products as the competition is so fierce. In recent years, Nestle has focused on the health and wellness aspects of its products to maintain its competitive edge in the market.
Bargaining Power of Supplier
Nestle holds more bargaining power then its suppliers. It prides itself on creating and maintaining positive relationships for long time with its suppliers all over the world. Due to the large purchasing power of Nestle and the fact that the suppliers of agricultural commodities offer a product that is far from unique. In addition, Nestle also offers useful advice to its suppliers on how to perform more efficiently to minimize unnecessary costs and maintain good quality.
Bargaining Power of Customer
Customers have a large amount of bargaining power regarding their consumption of Nestle products. As stated previously, there are close substitutes for Nestle products which allows for
Page | 12
the preferences of the customers to be very powerful. Nestle understands the power of the customers and has taken specific steps to meet the needs of its products consumers. Specifically, Nestle is incorporating health and wellness into the creation of its products as society has begun to grown more health conscious.
Competitive Rivalry within the Industry
Nestle is a powerhouse is the food processing industry but so are Kraft Foods and GroupeDanone. These companies, among others, are in a constant and continuous battle to outperform one another. Regarding advertising alone, these companies spend hundreds ofmillions of dollars in an attempt to appear more desirable to customers than the other companies. As long as these companies continue striving to one up one other, consumers will continue to enjoy ever improving product lines.
When applied to Nestle, Porter’s Five Forces Model depicts a competitive but profitable market for the food processing industry. Threats of new entrants is moderate but for substitution goods and rival companies buyer have bargaining power. For the final force, the model depicts a large amount of rivalry within the food processing industry.
Potential,opportunities and threats. The method of SWOT analysis is to take the information from an environmental analysis and separate it into internal (strengths and weaknesses) and external issues (opportunities and threats).

Competitive Advantage1. Unmatched Product and Brand Portfolio
2. Unmatched Research and Development capability
3. Unmatched geographic presence
4. People, culture, values and attitude
These are the strategies used by Nestlé to ensure that it succeeds in the market. What makes Nestlé stronger than their competitors, like General Mills, is that Nestle uses strong brands that are able to create competitive barriers.
Nestlé also goes above its competitors using its strategy of unmatched research and development capability. They have also partnered with other large corporations, for example: Coca Cola. They also do something very different than their other competitors; Nestlé acquires local companies to create regional mangers that know the local markets and culture. This allows them to gain a global strategic advancement and consumer satisfaction.
2. Business Strategy
Nestlé is a company with many brands; the individual business level strategies are different from the corporate level, because each business has different markets and consumers. Like they have baby food, bottled water, cerles, chocolate, coffee, culinary and frozen food, dairy, drinks, ice-cream, pet care, sports nutrition, weight, healthcare nutrition, food service etc.
Each brand of Nestlé business has the same strategy since Nestlé is a food corporation. The corestrategy for each brand is the same as the corporation's strategy as laid out in the 3 pillars. Themanufacturing factories for these brands follow the same protocol for energy reduction. Theyreuse many of their products in order to create energy to produce their products. Their mainstrategy is to create low-cost, highly efficient operations make a universally ability products, andto improve communications with their consumers.

What kind of organization structure do you think the company has?
Nestle is a corporation which established in 1876. Now this is a multinational company. Nestle has a 511 factories in 83 country and 280000 employee. For their great expansion they must followed tightly controlled structure. Above we saw from their organizational structure, they have hierarchical structure, and information flow mainly from the top to other parts. Employees are not empowered to take decisions, they are expected to obey and carry out order. So by considering these points we can say nestle is a mechanisticorganization
Recommendation:

How they can use strength
Nestle’ company’s strength is its Brand name, product quality, potential buyers and long term experiences. But now its products are lack of innovation and for their large and wide channel it is losing its product quality, which can be a great threat for future. They can use their consumer support by using website and online voting about their new invented products.
How they overcome those weaknesses
Nestle weakness was Inability to provide consistent quality in food products. So they could talk with their suppliers for raw material quality to increase sincerity.
Another weakness was Weak implementation of CSR. As a corporate company they have responsible to society and environment. They had improved their implementation of CSR to overcome this weakness but should be more conscious.
Recommend strategies
- Educating the consumers through campaigning is a possible way to grow their business.- Currently, Nestle sells its products through wholesalers and retailers. Nestle can improve
its profit margin further by establishing their own retail outlets.
