Abstract
This case describes the process of entering the Chinese market undertaken by Zotter Chocolate, an Austrian chocolate producer. There are several things that make this company stand out: it is a small, family-run entrepreneurial firm from Austria which makes a wide range of unconventional flavours of chocolate. It prides itself on being organic and fair trade, and has attracted a number of loyal customers and visitors to its “chocolate factory” in its headquarters located in Bergl, Austria. After successfully entering the German market, an “obvious” target for a firm from Austria, the founder, Josef Zotter, and his family considered where to go next in 2010. After comparing the US and Chinese chocolate markets, Zotter Chocolate selected China as its first major non-European market. The case introduces how Zotter sought out a local partner in Shanghai, and decided to enter the market with an “experience” offering in its first chocolate factory outside its home market, overseen by the founder's daughter Julia. Their innovations and learning process are also presented in this case. The case ends with Julia's key concerns about Zotter China's next step when she had to leave China for the headquarters of Zotter Chocolate in Austria in August 2017.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
