ACTIVITY NO. 1

Nestle Company had started off from a single man's idea, and developed into a giant
corporation. In 1866 Henri Nestle, a pharmacist, developed a milk food formula for infants who
were unable to tolerate their mother milk. His product became a success, and it created a
demand throughout Europe. As Nestle’s popularity grew more businesses wanted to merge and
become partners with Henri Nestle's business. From 1866 to 1947 the Nestle Company had
gone through several name changes. In 1905, Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Co. and Farine
Lactee Henri Nestle merged, and the company’s name became Nestlé & Anglo-Swiss
Condensed Milk Co. Then in 1929, Peter-Cailler-Kohler Chocolats Suisses S.A. merged with the
company. The name was then changed to Nestlé & Anglo-Swiss Holding Co. Ltd, onNovember
27, 1936.

In December 1947, Co. acquired all the shares capital of the Alimentana S.A. company in
exchange for fifteen Nestle shares and fifteen Unilac shares for each of Alimentana S.A. share,
so this point the name was at Nestle Alimentana S.A. And then finally, the last name change
that the company would endure was in 1977, where it adopted the name Nestle SA (Mergent
Online). Along the way Nestle’s company remain successful, which allowed them expand to
new region and territories throughout the world, making them the world’s biggest food and
beverage company.

Nestle’s headquarters are located in Vevey, Switzerland, but the Nestle Company has
factories or operation in almost 250 countries in the world. Since the Nestle case was published
in 1998, it stated that Nestle had employed 230,000 people worldwide, with $71.7 billion in
sales (Rodgers, 2000). Now moving forward to 2003, Nestlé has increased the amount of
employees to 253,000 people, with $88 billion in sales (Nestle.com).
 Nestle is increasing the size of their company year by year. In addition, to the increase in
the size of the Nestle Company, Nestle also has increased the variety in the different products
they offer. In Nestle’s business strategy they encourage product growth through innovation and
renovation. This strategy has allowed Nestle to develop many different products in the various
fields: baby foods, dairy products, breakfast cereals, ice creams, chocolates and confectionery,
prepared foods, beverages, food services, bottled water, and pet care.

Conclusion

Based on my interview to a former OFW, I can conclude that Globalization have a greater
impact to people and to the country. These impacts can be positive and negative. In terms of
the positive impact of globalization, it really helps people especially those people who really
need high income but their educational attainment was not high enough for having a good and
enough salary. Obviously, in our country there are many existing standards and qualifications
that are needed for the person to be employed in a particular job but because of globalization,
people who are undergraduate can easily access to a job that have a satisfying salary.
Globalization serves as their tool in order to generate income and support their family
financially. On other the hand, Globalization affects the country, in a way that it decrease the
number of skilled workers in the country, because they tend to choose to work abroad because
it has a good offer than in there generating country. In addition, globalization also build a gap
between the relationship of the family, there are some cases that globalization can cause
broken family. Overall, we, people, should do some ways in order to minimize the negative
impact of globalization and maximize the positive impact of globalization, in order for us to
have a harmonious environment.
