Three products are processed through three different operations. The times (in minutes) required per unit for each product, the daily capacity of the operations (in minutes per day) and the profit per unit sold for each product (in rupees) are as follows:

Operation	Time per unit (Minutes)			Operation capacity (Minutes/day)
Operation	Product I	Product II	Product III	Operation capacity (Minutes/day)
1	3	4	3	143
2	5	0	4	146
3	3	6	2	142
Profit/unit (Rs.)	20	10	30

The zero time indicates that the product does not require the given operation. It is assumed that all units produced are sold. Moreover, the given profits per unit are net values that result after all pertinent expenses are deducted. The problem is to determine the optimum daily production for three products that maximizes the profit.

AC company ltd has improved its profitability in 2014 and is on a growth path after poor performance in the preceding two years. The following is the summary of the company’s operations during the preceding three years.

The company’s focus in 2014 was on cost reduction and funds management rather than growth in sales. Operating and interest costs fell by 3.3% and 60% respectively. According to the company’s managing director. The turnover in 2014 dipped because of a drop in volumes. However the sales are not strictly comparable because in the previous year, there was a large order worth Rs.15 crores from a public sector oil company. On the other hand, the net profit growth was higher because of better asset management. This resulted in reduced borrowings and lowered the financial charges. The company was able to bring down its inventory holding period to 46 days from 81 days and debtors holding period to 95 days from 119 days. The company is changing its debt policy to a conservative policy. The debt equity ratio of 1.8:1 in 2012 has been brought down to 0.5:1 in 2014.

The prospects of the company for increased business in 2015 are estimated to be good. According to the managing director. The general industrial activity as such has picked up which should result in a better demand for the company’s products from sectors such as automobiles, mining and chemicals. Experts think that compressor industry will grow at 10% in 2015. The company is anticipating a sales growth of 15-20% in 2015. The company’s strategy of cost reduction and improving marketing efficiency will continue.

The company operates in the compressor industry and drilling and mining equipment industry. It is number two in the compressor industry after Inger Soll rand. The product profile of the company in the years has shifted in favor of the compressor sector.

In 2014 the company’s gross block increased to rs. 22 crores from Rs. 20 crores. The company has planned for an investment of Rs 5 crores in its Poona factory. The company’s share enjoys good liquidity and its PE ratio is 32. In the expectation of good performance the company’s share price started rising since January 2009 and sharply increased to Rs. 285 just before the budget from Rs. 190 in January. The current price (after technical correction) is around Rs. 225 -35.

In the last two years the company paid a dividend of 10%. The company was wondering if it should declare a higher dividend in 2014.

Questions:

Evaluate the company’s financial condition
Recommend the dividends to be paid by AC company ltd. Justify your advice.

Best Foods, Inc.

Best Foods, Inc., a major U.S. food products company located in Philadelphia, developed a new type of coffee and planned to test market the coffee nationwide. In addition to the test marketing, Best wanted to saturate the coffee market with its new product by selling the coffee at a

$2.50 per pound introductory price for one week. In the second week of the introductory campaign, Best planned to increase the price per pound to $2.75, but all one-pound new cans were three inches higher to accommodate enclosing a free stainless steel measuring scoop.

Two weeks before the product introduction, the marketing department, using all forms of media, advertised heavily throughout the United States. Posters, billboards, newspapers, radio, and television all carried advertisements for the new coffee. Raffle drawings were established in all major grocery store chains nationwide, with Best Foods providing the prizes.

In conjunction with the marketing department, production for the new coffee started one month before the introduction. Estimated demand for the new product was 1 million units for the first week and 1.25 million units for the second week. Production runs had to be started early to meet the estimated product demand and to allow for a break in the production for the second week to set up for the new size cans.

Case Questions:

a. Describe what interactions are needed to take place among the marketing, production and logistics departments. Explain the logistics department’s role in the introduction of the new product.

b. Why was it necessary for the logistics department to be cognizant of all the planned changes in the promotion and production schedules for the new product introduction?

c. Discuss various problems that may have arisen and what the logistic department’s responsibilities were with respect to changes.

On October 2006, Ram Shriram, a founding board member of Google Inc. said that the company faced a challenge of finding candidates with the right skill sets in India, when compared to other parts of the world. He cited the shortage of web development skills, web design technology professionals, and the need for more talented middle-level managers.

Analysts pointed out that these remarks were a further indication of the impending talent shortage in the Indian IT sector. NASSCOM had estimated that, by 2010, India could face a shortfall of 500,000 IT professionals. It was believed that this could seriously threaten India’s position as a leading provider of IT and ITES services.

According to NASSCOM, every year over 3 million people (graduates and post graduates) are added to the workforce in India. Of these, only 25 percent of technical graduates and 10-15 percent of other graduates are considered employable by the growing IT and ITES sectors.

Questions:

a. Explain the main cause/causes of concern for the Company in this case. Can it be solved? How?

b. What strategies do companies resort to in order to retain, their existing talented work force?

c. Highlight the significance of “providing Training” to the employees in an organization. Is It really important.

MasterCard Faces Strong Buyer Power

MasterCard Inc. generates revenue by charging fees to process payments from banks to consumers who swipe MasterCard-brand credit and debit cards, making the banks, not individual consumers, MasterCard’s customers.

MasterCard issues 916 million cards through 25,000 financial institutions in more than 200 countries.

Rapid consolidation within the banking industry, combined with a 28% market share in global credit and debit card transactions compared with main- rival Visa’s 68% share, means that MasterCard has to work hard to win and keep bank business. Further, MasterCard success depends on its four largest customers, which makes up 30% of annual revenues: JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup, Bank of America and HSBC.

MasterCard strategy focuses on two key elements- pricing and marketing. MasterCard carefully executed price increases between 2007 and 2008, with little customer pushback. At the same time, the company created MasterCard account teams that are tailored to fit the specific key customer needs. The teams drive the growth of customer usage, and thereby company growth. MasterCard’s marketing talent was also reoriented from a dedication to strengthening MasterCard’s brand identity to directly benefit these customers.

Questions:

Identify driving forces that may help MasterCard to make fundamental changes in its competitive environment?

Advise on the possible key success factors that may help MasterCard Inc. to have a great impact in future competitiveness.

An Expat Dilemma – Jaguar or Bluebird? Mark Chan’s Decision to Stay Overseas or Return Home after his Expatriate Assignment.

Mark Chan and his family were at a crossroads. His next career move looked certain to be the most important he would ever face. His time in England would soon be coming to a close. He, his wife and their young children had all quite enjoyed their time in Britain. But he now had either to continue pursuing his international career, or return to their native Singapore.

Mark had risen quite quickly in Energem, a diversified international corporation with leading positions in a number of industries. Having begun his career at the Singapore subsidiary of a Japanese-based consultancy firm, he was attracted by Energem’s wide range of possibilities. He joined the Singapore office after having travelled extensively in Asia for work. Having started a family, he returned to Singapore and took a managerial position in Energem’s chemicals division.

Impressing his superiors and having been promoted, after three years Mark was offered a three-year posting at the company’s London HQ. Accepting it would make him a senior executive and, despite his wife needing to give up her job, they gladly accepted.

The family was quite happy in England overall. But Mark had some concerns. Certain colleagues seemed to be implying tacitly that he was hired as a “token Asian” to add diversity to the main office. He was, however, able to convince them in time that he had indeed been hired on merit.

Over time, Mark also began to appreciate that his family was closer and happier than they had been in Singapore. Their standard of living was also higher. Sadly, Linda’s father fell seriously ill, and she began to feel intense guilt about the geographical distance between herself and her family.

Thus the emergence of the Chan family’s big dilemma: In spite of his professional success, Mark could not locate a position within the Singapore office that was a step up. He was passed over for a coveted spot in favor of someone with no international experience, and was beginning to feel quite cynical about Energem’s much-touted appreciation of the value of “global players”.

Eventually, a three-year position in Holland appeared, offering a major promotion. While appealing on many levels, the school system and culture were entirely different to anything his family had ever experienced.

Mark Chan and his wife are now on the verge of being forced to make one of the toughest decisions of their lives. Return to Singapore to a lower-paying, less attractive job for family reasons; or relocate to an unfamiliar country, yet one that was still in Europe, where they have been so comfortable? (There were also clear considerations regarding the restarting of Mark’s wife’s banking career – something that was only ever likely to happen back in Singapore.)

Questions:

a. What can the organization do to avoid the kind of problems illustrated in the case? (6 marks)

b. Should Mark accept the position in Singapore and return home? Explain why or why not. (7marks)

c. What are his opinions? If Mark accepts the position in Singapore, what should his career plan be? (7 marks)
