Shan Zai Way –Chinese Companies

Frugal Engineering – Indian Companies

Focus on the domestic market initially

Products like Nano and portable GE ECG machine has been built specifically for the Indian consumer

Target mostly mass consumers

Products like the portable ECG machine and the “Chotukool” refrigerator has been designed keeping in mind consumers at the “bottom of the pyramid”

Tailor product features and functions specifically to local requirements

Products deigned for the rural masses typically have lower power requirements and easily replaceable parts

Strive for short cycle time on product introduction

Nano and ECG machine were developed in significantly shorter time periods compared to best in class products

Focus on low cost but often sacrifice quality

Quality with low cost is one of the most important principles while designing a product using frugal engineering principles

Focus on decontenting / copying existing global products and tailor them for domestic markets

Traditional methods of designing a product have been abandoned to design innovative breakthrough products—clean sheet approach has been taken for product development

Product Engineering Principles

We will discuss the “Shan Zhai” way of product development next

Key Factors For Shan Zhai Phenomena In China

Culture

“SOFT”FACTORS

“HARD”FACTORS

Demand

Policy

Supply

� “Fearless Experimenter” mindset deeply rooted among Chinese

– Started from very low base/often could only start from emulation

– “Experimentalism” mentality very common in business world, even in major policy making

– Long-rooted Shan Zhai culture

� Relatively weak, inconsistent/non-transparent industry policy-making/regulation

– For example, the auto industry policy in past years

– Also still poor IP protection etc

– All these had given Shan Zhai folks room to play/grow

� Rapidly evolving /still relatively immature market

� Opportunities of major discontinuities in many industries

– Multi-segment (often very blurred segmentation)

– Multi-channel

– Multi-tier

� Under-served rural market & very sizable low/mid-class offer abundant opportunities to “Shan Zhai” players

– Substantial aggregate consumption power

– Price sensitive yet trend-following

� Incumbent’s irresponsiveness to market changes render opportunities for nimble locals to attack

– Slow / irresponsive to market changes

– Inadequate understanding of China market dynamics (esp. MNCs)

� Existence of tremendous supply capacity enables “Shan Zhai” players to be very flexible & efficient vendors

– Strong, often over-supplied manufacturing capacity with very developed value chain or ecosystems
