19、liar to most Americans. Many Japanese families, for instance, swaddle their babies in Pampers diapers, and lots of Venezuelans brush their teeth with Crest. And of course (company executives assumed) Americans at home wanted these same familiar, red-white and blue brands. We might buy foreign-made c
20、ars, or chocolates, or cameras but household cleaners and detergents?Recently, however, P&G broke with this long-standing tradition. Ariel, a P&G laundry detergent, was born overseas, and is a familiar sight on store shelves in Europe and Latin America. Now bilingual packages of Ariel Ultra, a super
21、-concentrated cleaner, are appearing on supermarket shelves in Los Angeles.Ariels appearance in the United States reflects demographic changes making Hispanics the nations fastest-growing ethnic group.

The firm has hired many new Japanese, German, and Mexican managers who view P&Gs busi
26、ness not as a one-way flow of American ideas, but a two-way exchange with other markets. Says Bonita Austin of the investment firm Wertheim-Schroeder, “When you met with P&Gs top managers years ago, you wouldnt have seen a single foreign face“. Today, “they could even be in the majority“.As Procter
