Some of the opportunities are:

CG


than 18 countries. The Group has been operating in Nepal for around 70 years now and continues to grow with each passing day.

Quality focused

CG


Its F&B products have crossed the borders to become a favourite in South Asian cities with ISO 9002 certification, so it will continuously focus to maintain its quality.

Economies of scale in production CG operates with 100 per cent local talent and utilize the local resources as far as possible. This help to reduce cost and gain economies of scale.

More opportunities The businesses with a global perspective have more opportunities to grow and succeed. It can coordinate operations across world markets and allow for the transfer of learning from operations in one part of the world to another

Global network Being the first Nepali organization to have a distribution network across the subcon subcontine tinent, nt, CG has made made substan substantia tiall presen presence ce in South South Asi Asia’s a’s fierce fiercely ly competitive Food and Beverage market. So by it can operate globally through its extended network. Every country has its own political, social and economic conditions. Setting up a business in a country other than one's own, requires a lot of research and CG


understanding of the place and the business condition there. Also, there might be times when a particular country can be facing some sort of an upheaval too. Some of the major challenges faced f aced by CG are:

Some of the challenges are:

Competition New boundaries of competition and new sources of competition emerge when a company enters into new market. Moreover the basis for competition also changed. As CG enters into new market it faces many competitors.

Environmental issues There may exist different different environmen environmental tal issues indifferent indifferent aspects aspects like demand for recycling, more efficient use of resources, greater responsibility for protecting the environment, limiting toxic waste, as well as to educate consumers and to develop more "user friendly" products are all compounding the tasks and demands placed on the organization.

Localization Establishing a strong local presence by developing new products and adapting to local tastes and preferences is a difficult task. Similarly CG faces many problems when it enters into other Asian countries and western countries. It sho sh ould uld sp spe end lots lots for for rese resear arch ch to meet eet the the tast tastes es and and pref prefer eren ence ces s of consumers.

New Technology Technology Technology is rapidly altering the nature of competiti competition on and strategy strategy in many industries. It is costly and difficult to cope up with changing technology. For CG


instance, the objective of CG-Mani pal Schools would be to provide quality education at a reasonable cost to the children of Nepal. The schools would be designed to use the right combination of technology and pedagogy for an effective learning process. But as technology changes rapidly its difficult and costly to meet the objectives as stated.

Difficulty to meet international level of quality "Quality is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution. It represents the wise choice of many many alte alterna rnati tive ves s and and as we ente entere red d the 21 21st st cent century ury,, the the gleam gleamin ing g horizon horizon awaits awaits our vision vision towards towards globali globalizat zation ion”. ”. So meeti meeting ng high high level level of quality to satisfy foreign consumer is also challengeable.

Other general challenges 

Differences in consumer response to marketing mix elements



Differences Differences in brand and produc productt devel developme opment nt and and the the competitive environment



Differences in the legal environment, some of which may conflict with those of the home market



Differences in the institutions available, some of which may call for the creation of entirely new ones (e.g. infrastructure)
