35. In conclusion, we feel that Gillettes ability to incorporate innovation and technology in to their male grooming products will appeal to our target market of males ages 17- 45. By relating to their cultural values and etic components, we feel that Gillette will integrate itself into this culture successfully. We believe that our established brand identity will be compatible and well received. This also gives us the future option to enter other Scandinavian countries who are more or less identical to Denmark. 2008 Procter & Gamble. All rights reserved.
