Procter & Gamble Italy: The Pringles Launch (A)
By: Roy D. Shapiro
Abstract
Procter & Gamble's (P&G) Pringles potato chips have been a very successful brand. This case reviews the development and first launch in the United States, then in markets around the world. Italy is one of the last countries where Pringles will be launched. Should P&G Italy employ the successful launch strategy used throughout Europe or devise its own?
