Decision Summary

“Unique” Core Strategy Periods 1 & 2

Build Channel Relations:

Increase volume discounts High co-op advertisement Target specific channel

affiliates for distribution of Allstar

Plan to increase market share

Why?

“Unique” Core StrategyPeriod 3 - 6

Purchase and Use of Reports

Diversify: Launch new products in periods 3 & 5

to target a larger market Use strong channel relations to make

these launches successful

Increase Sales Force: To support launching of new products

and provide sales assistance to the channels

To top competitions sales force

Why?

“Unique” Core StrategyPeriods 7 - 10

Aggressive Pricing: Maintain “top-tier” position within each

product segment Significant increase in price with

simultaneous adjustments to promotion

Substantial Expenditure on Promotions & Advertisement: Use of excess budget allocated due to

increased net income To regain the slight decline in Allround’s

market share Accrue the long-term (Allround) and short-

term (Allright, Allround+) benefits of advertisement elasticity

Why

In Hindsight

Use of report purchasing in earlier rounds Budget allocation issues:

- promotion vs. advertising- excess emphasis on sales force- residual funds, $1M budget:$5M

revenue Where/when to be aggressive

Overall we learned a lot through continued trial and error. As we gained experience our decision

making improved, and in the end we had fun and made a lot of virtual $$!
