Q-3 Rotomatic Electronics was a small company with product line in accessories or medium to large
computers. The company specialized in manufacture and sale of magnetic disc drives. The product
being a complex one required extensive electric controls. As the product required high quality
control it has high unit cost and was manufactured to meet customer satisfaction. Rotomatic's
business in computer industry was highly competitive. Many larger companies manufactured their
own magnetic disc drives and also there were quite a large number of small manufacturers who had
entered in the field recently. Rotomatics disc drives offered large capacity and high speed and could
interface with any existing compute/s. The company could expand its operations due to attractive
features and flexibility. However, as the company was not occupying leadership position in the
market, the company had to constantly come up with innovations to increase sales. In order to
attain more corporate ability the management decided to diversify into new product areas. They
asked the R&D department to design the single board efficient computer. As a result of six months
hard efforts the R&D department created the prototype.
Question:

Q: 3 ''Dye-Gen'' is a medium size, fast growing company. It manufactures mainly the black shade.
Their sales manager was impressed by sudden rise in sale of black hair dye in a rural sales area. For
last ten years, the demand for black hair dye had been steady and evenly spread over the year. Sales
record showed a spurt in the demand in the last year, in one quarter of the year, in that area. Same
thing is happening this year also. Market intelligence has come out with surprising facts: (a) This
rural area is particularly well known for the buffalo breeding and trading. (b) Sudden rise in the
demand for black hair dye in a particular quarter of the year, coincides with the cattle trading
season. (c) Buffalo breeders liberally apply the dye on the buffalo's skin, which then shines, looks
black and attractive to the prospective buyers. The Sales manager is happy because the overall sales
figures are going up. But the marketing manager is worried, about the 'human' market reaction, if
the so far little known 'animal' application becomes public knowledge.
Question
What is your advice to
a) The sales manager and
b) The marketing manager.

Q: 3 M/s Apple India Limited was launching its Apple juice with extraordinary caution. It first
undertook a year-and-a-half long test marketing run in Bangalore and then followed it up by a test
market launch in May 2006. Meanwhile making up for lost time, the company in just six months,
launched its Apple Juice Hyderabad. The ready-to-use juice is made from fresh apples. The light
brown colour and flavour are 'natural', as the product does not contain artificial colour or
preservatives. Priced at Rs. 10 for a 200 gm tetra pack, it is currently available in Andhra Pradesh.
The product has a shelf life of one year, but once opened, this has to be stored under refrigeration
and used within six days. 'The concept of juice is the same as for both, lemon and mango juice" says
Priya Kumar, Product Manager. Though lemon is used in fairly large quantities in the Southern parts
of India, housewives in other parts of India, under pressure of time, have also stated substituting it
for soft drinks. The company's pre-launch research also revealed that the respondents (working
women and housewives) were positive in product attributes like ease of use, storage and time
saving.

Q-3: A three star hotel located in Delhi has been experiencing a decline in its occupancy during the
past one-year. The management has recently reviewed the problem and is seriously considering to

Q: 3 In 2005, Rama Store not only had a great year, it also swept the top places at Punjabi Bagh,
winning each of the first ten places except ninth Comfortable in the fact that the company had an
attractive product, the president of Rama Store decided to go directly to the customer. The idea,
instead of concentrating company efforts and resources on improving the relations with the dealers,
was to emphasis improving relations with the ultimate consumer. To implement this tactic, the plan
was to eliminate the dealer completely and replace him or her with agents. To say the plan did not
work well is an understatement. Rama Store distributors, who had represented it in India, initiated
legal action against the Store in four states. All 323 Rama Store — Audio dealers felt betrayed by the
elimination of their franchises. Although they were offered the opportunity to become agents, they
were so opposed that they sued Rama Store. The law suits by these dealers sought damages
exceeding 50 core. Rama Store top management decided that perhaps their original distribution
system wasn't so bad after all.
QUESTION
Do you think that Rama Store failed to properly evaluate the existing distributors? Give your
reasons.
