Following the first part of your assessment that covered the
strategic and tactical fit of your organisation with regards to
Marketing and Operations, a series of internal and external events
have come to light that will require you to review your initial
considerations and recommendations. The overall economic
outlook remains unpredictable under the Pandemic impact of
COVID-19. Yet key industry indicators suggest overall productivity
is up as exporting improves and exchange rates remain favourable.
However, inflation remains a concern and is set to increase. What
is of far greater concern is the news that with regards to your
company, your Finance Director has resigned following allegations
of misreporting the company finances. Your company’s profit
statement was overvalued by at least 30% in the last financial year
and the Serious Fraud Office has contacted you to initiate a full
investigation. Following the news, the share price has de-valued as
shareholders look for more attractive investment opportunities with
serious implications for the financial stability of the company and
its market reputation with key stakeholders. Unrelated but of
significance, you are also shocked to discover the excessive
expense accounts submitted by your Business-to-business sales
account team spent on ‘Corporate Hospitality’ with channel
partners. Your closest competitor has launched an almost
identically performing product range to your own but at a
significantly reduced price, in fact 20% lower than your own.
Whilst you are not sure how they are achieving this aggressive
pricing strategy whilst retaining profitability, the fact is that
they now have a significant pricing advantage in your key market
and consumers are starting to switch to their alternative
product(s). Meanwhile, it has become apparent that other
competitors are starting to offer a variety of innovative added
value online. Insider information suggests they are investing
heavily in a wide range of digital management approaches to
streamline their businesses and their online value propositions.
Your Stock Controller has come to you with concerns that you will
run out of warehouse space within the next 3-4 weeks for inventory
if manufacturing output continues at the same rate going forward.
Whilst manufacturing output is high, quality issues suggest
problems with sourcing components from suppliers and your own
in-house assembly. Consumer complaints are increasing, particularly
regarding lead times and stock-outs, and customer returns suggest
high levels of dissatisfaction with both your product and service
levels. You wish you had more accurate and timely management
information. In light of the information above and as a first step
to help you decide what to do next, you reforecast your product
sales (which you bring as an Excel spreadsheet incorporating a
visual chart to the next presentation) and then reconsider your
strategy and tactics going forward.
