Transcribed Image Text:Exercise 1
Joel De Castro, CEO of De Castro Enterprises, Inc. (DCEI), is considering a
special offer to manufacture a new line of women's clothing for a large
department store chain. DCEI has specialized in designer women's clothing
sold in small, upscale retail clothing stores throughout the country, in order to
protect the very elite brand image, De Castro has not sold clothing to the large
department stores. The current offer, however, may be too good to turn down.
The department store is willing to commit to a large order, which would be
very profitable to De Castro, and the order would be automatically renewed
for two more years, presumably to continue after that point.
Required: Analyze the choice Joel faces, based on competitive analysis.
