2.1 Evaluation of competition in the firm
Rolls Royce employs a differentiation strategy to attract a larger customer base by offering
unique features in their products. The company not only introduces new products but also makes
significant improvements to their existing product lines. Rolls Royce's developed user-friendly
applications for Android-powered cars. Additionally, Rolls Royce has implemented various
features such as basic jetpacks, waste reduction measures, lightweight construction, sporty
jetpacks, and safe jetpacks to make a distinction in their models from those of other companies.
This adoption of a differentiation strategy has proven to be successful for Rolls Royce, which
allowed them to generate economic value by capturing, creating, and sustaining their success.
Therefore, by embracing this strategy, Rolls Royce can effectively establish, maintain, and
capitalize on its market position in the automotive industry.

2.2 Company’s Market share
The utilization of sporty, safe, green, and basic jetpacks has been identified as a beneficial
strategy for the market share expansion in the automotive industry. Specifically, the introduction
of the green jetpack has significantly contributed to Rolls Royce's increased market share.
According to Sumanasiri's (2020) viewpoint, incorporating sustainability practices in the
organization has emerged as a crucial factor in attracting a larger customer base. Thus, making
the green jetpacks gain highest level of market popularity. Figure 2 Recent quarter's Product sales
Furthermore, it has been discovered from the models like Veera and Beast that the inclusion of the sporty and basic jetpacks has proven to be advantageous within the automobile industry in securing its significant market share.

organization, which encompass its talents, competencies and resources, play a vital role in
achieving its objectives and gaining a competitive advantage. Moreover, these internal
capabilities enable the organization to identify and capitalize on new opportunities, as well as
innovate and revise to altering market conditions. The performance of Rolls Royce, for instance,

year, the company received the prestigious 'Gardener' award in Q4 Y2.
As a result, the company has earned numerous accolades for its business achievements over the
years. It is worth noting that these competencies directly influence the organization's
effectiveness and its ability to effectively respond to challenges and external opportunities.
3. Performance Outcomes
3.1 Outcomes arising from the simulation performance
3.1.1 The Company’s position
The company's market position is influenced by the level of its products demand. According to
the findings of Gupta, Guha, and Krishnaswami (2016), the company's growth is determined by
factors such as product, location, automation level, capacity, service design, layout, and vertical
integration.Therefore, in the case of Rolls Royce, it has been identified that the Pink, Beast, and
Veera models are the most significant for its growth. After a detailed analysis of the demands for
these models, it is evident that the Pink model holds a higher level of demand compared to the
other two, which can be ascribed to its layout, design, and product quality. According to the
observations of Atnafu and Balda (2018), the importance of inventory management in
maintaining competitiveness and performance in the market is emphasized. Therefore, to
maintain a strong market position, Rolls Royce must effectively manage its inventories
according to customer demands and needs. In that case, it has been observed that the Pink model
is more beneficial comprising a well-managed inventory system that aligns the number of
inventories with customer demand.

Moreover, upon examining the company's performance, it has been determined that Rolls Royce,
within the automobile industry, holds the fifth position. Additionally, according to Zygiaris et al.
(2022), for proper maintenance of its market position, the organization must prioritize the level
of customer satisfaction with its products or services. As emphasized by Zhao et al. (2021), the
role of the cost factor is also crucial in attracting a larger customer base. Many individuals prefer
an organization that offers a proper cost strategy, making their purchases more sensible and
valuable. However, in this context, Rolls Royce has neglected the cost factor and mainly
concentrated on the differentiation strategy.

3.1.2 The organization’s Key Performance Indicators(KPIs) The Key Performance Indicator (KPI) is a metric to measure the organization’s performance
which is used to strategically achieve organizational objectives. Upon assessing the last quarter,
it has been recognized that the company holds the products in its inventory that incur additional
storage costs per each product. In order to reduce these storage costs and unwanted expenses, as
suggested by Parzen et al. (2022), the company should analyze the customer demand for that
particular model. Furthermore, it has been observed that the company has not generated any
profit margin despite selling their models. Rounaghi, Jarrar, and Dana (2021) highlight that
implementing a strategic cost management system can help address the issues and limitations by
accurately determining costs, appropriately allocating them to products, and eliminating waste.
However, from a marketing perspective, the company has performed well, which can potentially
drive enlarged demand for its models in the future, leading to company’s higher revenue and
profitability.
Figure 9 Last quarter's analysis of KPI
However, it has been observed that the company faced challenges in maintaining satisfactory Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) across various factories. Upon analysis, it was evident that factories 4 and 6 to 10 outperformed the remaining 4 factories. These particular factories exhibited a high activity level, with a team engagement rate of 100%.

3.2 Rolls Royce’s Financial Performance An organization’s financial performance reflects its ability to manage expenses, effectively utilize resources and generate profits to achieve its goals and objectives. Upon analyzing the financial performance of Rolls Royce, it has been observed that the company generated total revenue of $237,000 during the first year’s fourth quarter.

Subsequently, during the third year’s fourth quarter of Rolls Royce, the business experienced a
significant decline as its total revenue plummeted to $0. This substantial downturn over the years
indicates a negative impact on the organization.

notable rise in its revenue. During the fifth year’s fourth quarter, the revenue of business reached

Figure 13 Rolls Royce’s Income statement in Q4 Y5
After a detailed examination of the Rolls Royce invoice, it reveals that the substantial sums of
money have been disbursed to different entities despite the company's total sales amounting to
$724,800. For instance, loan repayments accounted for $40,600, $53,417, and $49,368, among
other expenditures and approximately $425,522 was spent on interest payments related to the
overdraft.

According to Li and Wang (2021), small and medium-sized enterprises face significant financial
consequences due to their frequent utilization of limited resources and intense competition. It is
crucial for organizations to ensure robust financial well-being, as inadequate financial
performance can result in reduced productivity and financial instability.
3.3 Decision-making process
The role of decision-making process is to enable individuals and organizations to identify and
evaluate various options that lead to informed decisions basing upon their fundamental
principles, objectives and resources available. Upon examining the Rolls Royce’s decision
report, it has to be noted that the company is having a negative net income, like -$418,907,
which paints a depressing image of the business. Despite sales amounting to $1,133,200, there is
no cash available, and the total equity is also significantly low of about -$4,570,309.
Figure 15 Rolls Royce’s Decision report
Therefore, with regards to the decision of product marketing, the assessment reveals that the
promotion of the model Veera incurred approximately $5000 in costs and resulted in the sale of
2500 units. Conversely, the promotion of Pink also incurred similar costs of approximately
$5000 but did not yield any sales.
Figure 16 Rolls Royce’s Decision process report regarding the market of products
Therefore, this indicates that the company has identified several loopholes and negative
consequences resulting from their decision-making process and thus, it is in need of further
improvement in their decision-making practices for a positive business expansion and for
maintaining competitiveness in the market.
