STRATEGY 1: Nestle must consider doing a backward integration by buying off some of their suppliers in Lebanon. This is because of the inflation rate increasing in Lebanon and as we well know families are not able to buy their basic needs like powder milk for children. So, by doing so, Nestle will have less cost to take care of, leading to lowered prices for the consumer making it a win-win situation for Nestle and their customers. It can acquire firms like packaging suppliers and plastic suppliers. STRATEGY 2: The second most important strategy to be implemented by Nestle is product development by providing products cheaper than the usual products they sell to be able to reach a bigger target population such as the people who are in the middle or low class. This can also be beneficial to Nestle and consumers by manufacturing these products locally, therefore decreasing the costs and prices. 5.
