  • Problem Case Study for Curtis Automotive Hoist

    1919 Words  | 4 Pages

    Despite CAH's competencies, its US distribution faces serious challenges. CAH's exclusive US distributor fails to actively promote the sales of Curtis Lift. In fact, the lift is but a minor product within the wholesaler's complete product line and accounts for only 20% of its total lift sales. Given that US market currently accounts for 60% of CAH's sales and holds growth potential in future, the current US distribution system may hurt CAH's growth. Another problem is CAH's high production cost. Its cost of sales accounts for approximately 72% of sales, which is at least 20% higher than that of dominant players. The relatively low contribution margin leaves the company little flexibility in competition.

  • Marketing At The Vanguard Group

    1998 Words  | 4 Pages

    This situation seemed interesting to Vanguard because of the exponential increase in the number of potential clients, whom Vanguard doesn’t have to directly advise and serve about their products and services, combined with the high potential for profitability. The development of this broad qualified sales force could also be done at relatively low development cost. The positive aspects of this alternative are somehow strongly counterbalanced by the fact that huge efforts of mass advertising would be required in order to inform the potential customers about Vanguard’s brand, and over whom Vanguard would have no control in the sale process. Vanguard would also have to face some strong competition in its relationship with the intermediaries, who are not always the most loyal sales representatives.

    Sun Tzu, the great Chinese general and philosopher once wrote, “All warfare is based on deception.” The United States’ innate ability to conduct glorious amphibious assaults from the sea is no better represented than during Operation Chromite, also referred to as the Battle of Inchon. During the Korean War, on September 15, 1950, U.S. and allied forces led by General MacArthur, inflicted a surprise attack on the North Korean-controlled harbor of Inchon.

  • Allentown Business Case

    1822 Words  | 4 Pages

    In general terms, the organizational structure of the Electronic Products Division of Allentown follows the same structure of the other divisions. Under the General Manager there is a controller, a product development manager, a manufacturing manager (with three plants treated as three different profit centers), a sales manager and a marketing manager. The last two may be the major difference regarding the general structure of the company, since sales and marketing are usually combined in one single department. The breakdown in two departments has been made by the general manager, reasoning that the sales division should be concerned about short-term actions, while the marketing one should take care of pricing policies and strategic plan.
