CASE STUDY - FAR OUT SURF CLOTHING Huw McPherson contemplated the safety record for the retail division of his company, Far Out Surf Clothing. While the figures were not too far above the average for the company, the increase of 17 per cent in lost time hours over the last 3 months was concerning, this is measured as the time lost to safety concerns. ‘And the retail area is not really a dangerous place,’ thought Huw to himself, ‘especially when compared to the production division. I know, I’ll ring Andrew up, he’ll give me some answers.’ Andrew’s telephone rang for some time before it was answered by Shirley, one of the customer service assistants. Huw asked if he could speak to Andrew. ‘No, he’s off sick,’ said Shirley. Huw asked for one of the supervisors. ‘Well, Amanda is the only one on, but she is tied up with two customer complaints about customer service at the moment,’ she replied. Huw thanked her and hung up. Andrew was the assistant manager and having him away as well as two…

Case Study 2 Apple and Samsung mobile phones: When Apple first introduced the iPhone, its initial price was as high as $599 per phone. The phones were purchased only by customers who really wanted the sleek new gadget and could afford to pay a high price for it. Six months later, Apple dropped the price to $399 for an 8-GB model and $499 for the 16-GB model to attract new buyers. Within a year, it dropped prices again to $199 and $299, respectively, and you can now get a basic 8-GB model for free with a wireless phone contract. In this way, Apple has skimmed the maximum amount of revenue from the various segments of the market. On the other hand, in Kenya, Nigeria, and other Africa countries, Samsung recently unveiled an affordable yet full-function Samsung Galaxy Pocket model that sells for only about $120. The Samsung Pocket is designed and priced to encourage millions of first time African buyers to trade up to smartphones from their more basic handsets. Samsung also offers a line…
Case Study: Philip Morris Enters Turkey Under regulatory and legal fire in the United States, tobacco companies have been staking their financial futures in developing countries. In the seven years since Turkey abolished price controls that had propped up its state-owned tobacco company, Philip Morris has gotten millions of Turks to cast aside local cigarettes in favor of its Marlboro, Parliament, and L&M brands. For Philip Morris—which saw international tobacco profits grow 60 percent to $4.6 billion last year from 1994—nowhere has that push been more successful than in Turkey. In the nation that inspired the phrase “smokes like a Turk,” 43 percent of the 62.9 million population smokes, according to government estimates, compared to 25 percent in the United States. Meantime, cigarette consumption in Turkey has increased at an annual rate of about 4.76 percent since 1992, making this one of the fastest-growing markets in the world. Philip Morris has watched its share of the Turkish…

Case Study 1: Mavi Jeans from Turkey has been successful in establishing a presence in many countries, as well as a desirable image in the eyes of its target consumers. Sales have been growing about 30 percent annually, with no decrease in pace foreseen in the near future. Quality denim, comfortably fitting styles, and monitoring the lifestyles of its target customers and trends in fashion have been the key factors which brought the brand to this point. The price is also kept low as it focuses on youth as its target customers. Therefore, the company considers the total cost and adds a reasonable profit margin to decide the price. Mavi emphasizes its Mediterranean origins, rather than referring to its country-of-origin (Turkey). When it comes to promotion, the company uses billboards, print media, broadcasting and internet to reach out to its customers. However, to stay in close touch with its internal and external stakeholders, the Public Relations department of the company issues news…
Case Study: Mr. Felix Cross, is a well-known and successful businessman who is involved in a variety of business ventures in Saint Lucia. One of those ventures is the largest coconut plantation in Saint Lucia, located in the Roseau Valley on the West Coast. Between the years 2012 to 2018 the plantation experienced a year-on-year increase in profitability as it had progressively become the largest supplier of coconuts to the many small businesses that plied their trade as road-side coconut water vendors. From late 2018 through to 2019, Mr. Cross noticed a progressive decline in the volume of coconuts being purchased from his plantation as an increasing number of regulations and restrictions were being placed upon the vendors, with regards to the locations they were allowed to trade. Though the coconut plantation business was still profitable, demand had dropped off to a point where only 60% of the nuts being harvested were being sold on to vendors. The remaining nuts were laid to waste.…
Case Study “The Ideal Partner" Scentimental Inc., a Filipino SME owned by Mrs. Jin Balmadres, has been in operations for over 20 years. She takes pride in supporting the local manufacturing industry with her design creativity. Given their success in the retail and wholesale of décor products with retail giants SM and All Home, as CEO, Mrs. Balmadres has intermittently supported charities over the years.But she felt that the efforts of her company in this area were wanting. Moved by the much-needed relief for the residents affected by the Taal Volcano explosion in early 2020, she was advised by her management consultant to work with a foundation. She did some research on her own on various potential partners. She found that she can either go directly to her desired beneficiaries, work with an established foundation, or through an intermediary. She decided to follow her consultant's advice and work with a foundation. She had her secretary set up an appointment with her chosen foundation…
