Abstract: Italy is very rich in a culture of traditional values, which can be seen from family structure, to food, to art, to religion. As a result, it is extremely important to know how Italians live their daily lives before engaging in an international business venture. Therefore, in order for Panera Bread to succeed in such a traditional society, the company must analyze Italy's culture and economy to fully understand the best way to enter the foreign market and compete with local businesses. By taking an in depth look at Italian culture and economy several things become clear in terms of market entry and product positioning. Therefore, marketing efforts surrounding this knowledge give Panera Bread, and other foreign businesses, the advantage of the proper knowledge to reach the desired target market in the most effective manner.
