Case Study for GD:
Cereal bars have become a common replacement for breakfast in the west. This case study is about Company A which launched its cereal bar in late 90s and soon went to gain almost half of total market share within just two years. The brand awareness is high and Company A itself has a strong brand value. Looking at the success of the product, Company A decided to develop new flavors and formats and changes the positioning from a missed breakfast product to an all-day healthy snack so as to increase the consumption.Soon the market was filled with 2-3 more successful players and many regional private labels which ate into the share of Company A. The market has grown at 15% while Company A's market share of all these related products has decreased.Company A has to make a key business decision. Sales are falling, the product is in decline and losing its position. Should Company A let the product die, i.e. withdraw it from the market, or should it try to extend its life?Even if it tries to extend life, it can do so by increasing market penetration, develop the market itself, develop the product or diversify the product. What do you suggest to Company A?
Puys - Please actively start ur debate... 😃
Can somebody help me with the result date...When are the ICICI guys going to post the list of shortlisted candidates???
Case Study for GD:
Read the following case study and answer the questions with respect to Indian Economy.The public sector Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), a major oil refining and marketing company which was also the canalizing agency for oil imports and one of the very few Indian companies in the Fortune 500, in terms of sales, planned to make a foray in to the foreign market by acquiring a substantial stake in the Balal Oil field in Iran of the Premier Oil. The project was estimated to have recoverable oil reserves of about 11 million tonnes and IOC was supposed to get nearly 4 million tonnes.When IOC started talking to the Iranian company to the acquisition in October 1998, oil prices were at rock bottom ($11 per barrel) and most refining companies were closing shop due to falling margins. Indeed, a number of good oil properties in the Middle East were for sale. Using this opportunity, many developing countries "made killing by acquiring oil equities abroad."IOC needed the government permission to invest abroad. Application by the Indian company for investing abroad is to be scrutinised by the special committee represented by the RBI and the finance and commerce ministries. By the time the government gave the clearance for the acquisition in December 1999 (i.e. more than a yearafter an application was made), the prices had bounced back to $24 per barrel. And Elf of France had virtually taken away the deal from under IOC's nose by acquiring the Premier Oil.The RBI, which gave IOC the approval for $15 million investment took more than a year for clearing the deal because the structure for such investments were not in place, it was reported.Discuss the economic and non-economic environmental factors influencing the business revealed by this case study.
What are the lessons from the case study?
Do you think there has been a change in the business environment in India in the recent years?
Discuss the nature of Balance of Payments crisis faced by the Indian economy during 1990s. How did India overcome this crisis?
Puys - Please start debating actively!!! 😃
I gave my aptitude test yesterday in Pune & it turned out to be a nightmare for me. The internet link was down at the centre & it took me 4 hours to complete the test, the reason being I had to login more than 20 times. Every time & in every section I had to login several times, each time I lost few seconds when the session was restarted. Also, clicking on Submit & move to next it took more than 5 seconds to go to the next question.
I've managed to do the test well but it was the worst nightmare for me!!! 😁😟
There were other people who gave the test with me & faced the same issues. And guys believe me this time it is going to be tougher since around 80 people are giving tests on a single day at every centre. So, those who have already got the GD/PI Call or those who are expecting(like me 😁), try to give your best shot. Most of them are not aware about Fb page or Pagalguy so they might not post.
All the Best to Everyone!!!
Cheers!!!
