Question 2

Colgate's development of Axion paste for washing dishes for its Latin American market and its later deployment in some European countries is an example of:
 a. standardization advantages c. experience transfers
  b. economies of scale d. self reference criterion

Answer to Question 1

b

Answer to Question 2

C
Colgate developed Axion after noting that women washed dishes by hand, dunking their hands in a small tub with a few slivers of soap. The same product was then offered to consumers in Central and Eastern Europe after noting that they washed dishes using a similar method. Although some economies of scale and standardization can be taken advantage of, a true standardization strategy (resulting in large economies of scale) would not have altered the already existing detergents for the Latin American market.
