| Abstract | This master's thesis is a communication plan for the international retailer Whole Foods Market Inc. to successfully engage in a new consumer market: Germany. After entering the European market in 2006, by opening a Whole Foods Market store in London, the time seems to be right to continue expanding its business. Therefore, I examined the company Whole Foods Market and dissected the German retail landscape. I pondered on the following questions: Where are the cultural differences? How do Germans purchase groceries? What do they value and what way of communication should be utilized to effectively target the consumer? As an international student growing up in Germany, my cultural background and insights on the German market allows me to create a plan that could make a business like Whole Foods Market succeed. |
