Just five one-hundredths of an inch thick, light golden in color and with a perfect "saddle curl (卷)," the Lay's potato chip seems an unlikely weapon for global control. But its maker, Frito-Lay thinks otherwise.” Potato chips are a snack food for the world," said Salman Amin, the company's head of global marketing. Amin believes there is no comer of the world that can resist the attemptation of a Frito-Lay potato chip.
Frito-Lay is the biggest snack maker in America owned by PepsiCo. And accounts for over half of the parent company's $3 billion annual profits. But the U.S. snack food market is largely flooded, and to grow the company has to look overseas.
Its strategy rests on two beliefs: first a global product offers economies of scale (规模) with which local brands cannot compete. And second, consumers in the 21st century are drawn to "global" as a concept. "Global" does not mean products that are intentionally known as American, but ones that consumes --- especially young people --- see as part of a modem, innovative (创新的) world in which people are linked across cultures by shared beliefs and tastes. Potato chips are an American invention, but most Chinese, for instance, do not know that Frito-Lay is an American company. Instead, Riskey, the company's research and development head, would hope they associate the brand with the new world of global communications and business.
With brand sense an essential factor, Riskey ordered a redesign of the Frito-Lay logo (标识) logo, along with the company's long-held marketing image of the "irresistibility" of its chips would help make the company's global expansion easy.
The senior managers acknowledge that they try to swing national eating habits to a food created in America. but they deny(拒绝) that amounts to economic imperialism. Rater, they see Frito-Lay as spreading the benefits of free enterprise across the world. "We're making products in those countries, we're adapting them to the tastes of those countries, building businesses and employing people and changing lives," said Steve Reinemund, PepsiCo's chief manager.
