CASE STUDY- UNIT 1

Dear David
As you know, we've recently been having intensive discussions within the Hudson
organization about the future of our brand, in particular whether to go upmarket
or downmarket. At a meeting of our key people recently, we decided to take the
upmarket route. We want to develop the Hudson label as an exclusive brand, keep
the 'Made inAmerica' tag, sell at higher prices, and use product placement and high-profile
celebrities to advertise our products.
We also want to stretch the Hudson brand and use it on high-quality watches and
jewelry, in an agreement with a Swiss manufacturer.
I would like to arrange a meeting with you and your key associates to discuss these
issues further and to decide how to move forward. Would next Wednesday, May 13,
at 10:30, here at my office in Newark, be suitable for you?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes
Carly Angelo
CEO, Hudson Corporation
