Performance Targets




04/03/12                         9
Entry Level Strategy
• The company employed a « global low cost leadership »
     strategy from Year 6 until Year 12 meaning that:
      – Offering a low cost strategy advantage for a company means
           you can develop, manufacture, and distribute products more
           efficiently than competitors.
      – Having lower costs than competitors, lower prices, lower
           quality.
      – A continuous search for cost reduction without sacrificing
           acceptable quality and essential features.


04/03/12                                                                10
Multi Featured Strategy
• The company employed a « Global Best Cost
     Strategy » from Year 6 until Year 12
     meaning :
      – Focus towards customers who are value-
           conscious and are willing to pay money in
           exchange of a good that has upscale features.

04/03/12                                                   11
Production
• Our company’s production line made use of expansions,
     Overtime and outsourcing.
• Expanded 3 times during decision period

• Hired temporary PATs for 3rd quarter production and laid off
     in 4th quarter.
• Maximized overtime and outsourced the rest.

• PATs were compensated less than competitors to keep costs
     down.
04/03/12                                                         12
Assembly
• Our main focus on assembly was not to get sold
     out so we could capture as much market share as
     possible.
• Took advantage of 10% extra margin.

• Production also depend on the following factors

      – Exchange rate profit or loss per region

      – Operating profit per unit
04/03/12                                            13
Financial Strategy.
•    Our financial strategy was formulated to eventually re-purchase most of
     our company’s stocks from our stockholders, that way, increasing the
     value of our company.
•    Our stock purchase was mostly financed through debt but we repaid a
     huge debt after our 4th quarter sales to maintain a strong credit rating.
•    We issued dividends every year to reward our shareholders after a
     successful business year. The dividend were usually dependent on our
     performance that year, so there were increases and decreases.
•    Given our current financial situation, there would have been a dividends
     paid the upcoming year, however they would have been the same or
     lower than the previous year.

04/03/12                                                                         14
Entry – Level Camera
      • Company E and B
                Competitors
      After these 2 companies had implemented a
           successful strategy to corner the market
           share for the entry level camera, we
           decided to formulate a strategy similar to
           their which was a high quality-low price
           product.
04/03/12                                                15
Multi-feature Camera
                Competitors
• Company E and B
     These companies managed to implement the
     same strategy for their entry – level and multi –
     feature cameras. Because of that successful
     strategy, they performed way beyond
     expectation and acquired majority of the market
     share and advantage.
04/03/12                                                 16
Take Over strategy
• We formulated a strategy to respond to the one being used by our
     leading competitors. Since they had the same strategy for their
     entry level and Multi-feature, we just needed to create one to
     counter their strategy. We responded by changing the price of our
     products to match the ratio to the P/Q rating as those other
     companies had done. i.e., whatever their price was based on the P/
     Q rating of their camera, we adjusted our price based on our P/Q
     rating just so we could provide the lowest price even our P/Q rating
     was less than theirs.


04/03/12                                                                 17
Take Over Strategy (Contd.)
• Our strategy seemed to be successful, however, we
     only implemented it in the final decision rounds, so
     even though we had a large boost in performance that
     year, it wasn’t enough to be placed in the top 3
     companies. But if the same strategy was implemented
     in the following year, there would’ve been an even
     more significant boost in performance.

04/03/12                                                    18
Future Actions
• Will pay attention towards the quality (not lowering it
     extremely) and keeping the brand reputation.
• Come up with more innovative and technological methods,
     by means of investing in R&D.
• Address the high labor cost issues.




04/03/12                                                    19
