Q.5 CASE STUDY:
Mr. Khanna, the CEO of international machine company, closed eyes and his
thoughts reflected on the success of his firm, which produces and distributes a
line of textile and embroidery machine. That afternoon at a meeting with
distributors from different territories, Mr. Khanna was urged to introduce new
models to satisfy the changing demand of the customers. With changing
fashions and customers knowledge about different types of fabric and styles, it
had become necessary to introduce new machines. The CEO, who has done his
engineering in textiles background, recognized the implications of the
suggestions that came from distributors. There implications would require
greater investments in R&D. Furthermore, the changes in the highly automated
production line would be very costly indeed. Also having a wider variety models
would require stocking many more spare parts. Depending on the type of
changes, workers might need to be retained. Reflecting on previous staff
meeting, the president realized that sales or marketing people always wanted a
greater variety of models but never acknowledge the costs involved in changing
models. After all till now the company had been extremely successful with
selling a few models. Consequently, the president decided against the
introduction of new models. Instead he considered improving the current
models and reducing the cost and price. He felt that what the customer really
wanted was value. Nevertheless, to test his judgment, the president asked a
consultant for an opinion.
(a) How would you state the mission of the enterprise? Are you
satisfied with the decision of the CEO?
07
(b) It is said that to be successful, an organization must be an
open system, what does it mean and how does it apply to
this case?
07
OR
Q.5 (a) What would you think of the opportunities and threats in the
external environment?
07
(b)
How would you go about evaluating the strengths and
weaknesses of the firm? What factors are critical to success
or failures?
