In 2005, Ms. Andrea Jung, CEO of Avon, pursued the localization strategy which is based on customizing the firm’s goods and services for each global market. We can see this in the ways she allowed country managers to make their own decisions, develop their own products, and determine their supply chains. Also, the marketing strategy varied from country to country. However, when in late 2005, Avon’s stock fell 45 percent, Jung changed to a global strategy. Some of the decisions that she made in pursuing the global strategy were: centralizing new-product decisions and exercising more control over manufacturing, marketing, and product development.

Business has revolutionized in the United States, and it has proved to be more productive. In the 1700’s, many families grew their food and sewed their clothing. According to our book, farmers have dropped tremendously from 33 percent to less than 2 percent in the United States. The decrease in farmers is due to the advances in farming and is not a bad thing. A very productive crop was grains and oilseeds from 2002 to 2007. When the farmers lost their job, they went to manufacturing.
