Introduction
The idea behind this report is to define, analyse and understand each of the factors that affect the marketing strategies of a consumer product giant by the name of Procter & Gamble. P&G’s business line of shampoos is being considered in this case and the report specifies the effects of the strategies on the markets, the customers, the product line and the newer capabilities in the company. The report deals with the analysis of the organisational capabilities and the core competency of the organisation. The effects of the competition on the capability and ability of the company to serve its market. The porter’s 5 forces model is applied in the report in order to understand the impact of the external forces on the company. The external forces determine the effectiveness of the organisation on the markets and its developments. (Armstrong, 2015)When in turbulent conditions, the company needs to succeed by identification of the factors that shape the Structure of the industry, the consumer behaviour and the capabilities and resources that the organisation feels it necessary to possess in order to serve the desired market segment and be a leader in it. (Gamble, Procter & Gamble, 2012)Procter & Gamble started of with a simple handshake and is now one of the very much valued firms around the globe. As partners, William Procter and James Gamble put forward their soap and candle business and with the winds of steady growth, Procter and Gamble was born. (Gamble, 2006)

It utilised organisational intelligence in order to comprehend and get insights about the knowledge and occurrence in the business. It is the intellectual property of the entire organisation. (Dyer, Dalzell, & Olegario, 2004)The ability and the capacity of an organisation is understood by the human resources, the quality of the workforce, the skills and the environment. The resources of the organisation in terms of machines, Land, Labour and buildings. The financial strength of the organisation in terms of money and credit.
