CASE STUDY 1
Creating a sense of identity
Background
The international construction and engineering group KMB is based in Munich, Germany and
has manufacturing subsidiaries and associated companies throughout the word. Its company
magazine is published five times a year and is distributed by post to staff worldwide. The
following letter, sent by a member of staff in its Brazilian sales office, appeared in the
magazine’s latest issue.
Dear editor,
I know I’m not the only one who feels uninformed about what’s going on in KMB worldwide.
When I was at our recent sales conference in Munich several other people from overseas
subsidiaries said they felt a lack of involvement and wanted more information from head
office about new developments within the group. For example, why has KMB bought a major
civil engineering company in Australia? How does this acquisition fit into our overall
strategy? Unfortunately we could only guess at the reasons.
We also think it’s essential to share best practice among our subsidiaries. We must know
about ideas for improving efficiency as soon as possible. For example, if a marketing
technique has been successful in one market, other areas of our business should be told.
We all agreed that the new Global Communications Director should overhaul KMB.s
communication system so that all members of staff are kept fully informed – both about
overall strategy, and about news from overseas subsidiaries. What’s the use of a worldwide
network if no one knows what’s going on?
Aldo Renato
The new Global Communications Director, Dominique Lapierre, sent the following email to
the Chief Executive of KMB after Aldo Renato’s letter had been discussed at board meeting.
New Message 1
It seems this complaint is quite common. Overseas staff don’t think they get enough
information about developments within the group, or about our latest acquisitions, etc.
ideas about best practice aren’t shared either.
We urgently need to improve our communication system to show that we value staff, and to
strengthen their sense of common purpose within the organization globally.
Task
You are members of the working group which will discuss suggestions for improving KMB’s
communication system.
1. Brainstorm ideas of your own which you could add to the draft agenda.
2. Choose the three best ideas and add them to the agenda.
3. Then, hold an informal meeting. Discuss the advantages. Also consider the cost
implications of each proposal. Finally, work out an action plan for improving
communications within the company.
AGENDA (DRAFT)
Writing
As a member of the working group, write a memo to the heads of all of KMB’s subsidiaries.
This should inform them that the meeting took place and should outline the plan of action
agreed. Finally, the memo should ask for their cooperation in implementing the suggestions.
Answer:

Background
Camden Football Club is one of the great success stories in English football. Today, it is third
in the Premier Division (the top division) and has reached the quarter finals of the European
Champions League competition, which is held every year. They get huge crowds at their ground
and their polish manager, Cristos Sroda, is idolized by their fans. Camden is also a great
commercial success and is very profitable.
What has brought about their success? Firstly, their manager Cristos had a clear strategy for
the team from the start. He developed young players who had come through the club’s youth
training scheme. The team was also strengthened by one or two carefully chosen foreign
players.
At the same time, she skilfully exploited the Camden brand and diversified into other areas:
a travel agency for fans and also for companies using the club’s hospitality facilities; a joint
venture with an insurance agency to provide financial products for the club’s corporate clients;
and finally, training courses in the club’s conference rooms run by local companies. Turnover
increased by over 400% to £70m and profits leapt to £15m. TV rights, soon to be renegotiated,
will provide another very lucrative source of income.
Current Situation
Camden’s current four-year sponsorship deal with an insurance company is about to finish.
Shopie Legrange is considering a new and better deal with United Media plc, the powerful
publishing, TV production and mobile phone group. It is not only the increased money from
sponsorship which appeals to Camden, however. United Media’s broad range of business
activities would offer many other opportunities to increase revenue.
United Media are interested in Camden because the club’s success has brought it over 4m
fans in the UK and 40m in the Far East. Camden played a friendly match recently in China which
was watched live by a Chinese audience of over 250m.
Representatives of Camden and United Media are meeting shortly to discuss a possible
sponsorship deal. The following factors will influence the negotiation:
1. Because of their recent successes, Camden feel they are in a strong position to negotiate a
valuable four-year contract.
2. Some experts say Camden were lucky to win their last European Cup match, and that they rely
too much on their star South American player, Paolo Rosetti. Now aged 30, he has a rumoured
to have marital and drink problems.
3. Shopie Legrange has full negotiating rights over sponsorship. She will only choose United
Media as a sponsor if she can negotiate a good dear for the club.
Task

Background
The best selling sports drink, Zumo, is produced by Zumospa, a food and drinks company based
in Valencia, Spain. In the last financial year, Zumo contributed €30 million to Zumospa’s annual sales
revenue, accounting for 20% of the company’s total turnover, and €4.5 million in profits. It is, I fact,
Zumospa’s cash cow, generating more revenue than any other of its products.
At present, Zumo is sold only in Europe. However, the sports drink market is the most rapidly
growing segment of the world beverage market. Zumospa would like to make Zumo a global brand,
even though the market is very competitive, with major companies such as Cola-Cola, Pepsi Cola and
Heinz fighting for market share.
Marketing
• Launched in the mid 1980s. Positioned as an energy product for fitness-conscious people,
especially sportsmen and women between the ages of 20 and 45.
• Distributed mainly through grocery stores, convenience stores and supermarkets. Also through
sports clubs. Also, sales generated through contracts with professional leagues, such as football,
golf and tennis associations.
• Press, TV and radio advertising is backed up by endorsement contracts with famous European
footballers and tennis stars.
• Zumo is offered in four flavours and its price is in the medium range.
Zumospa would like to launch a global campaign focussing first on South America, Mexico, the
Southern states of the US and Japan, where they have regional offices. A decision has been taken to use
a standardised advertising theme in these markets, although the copy of the advertisements and
language of the TV and radio commercials will be adapted to local needs.
Before setting up focus groups in these areas and commissioning market surveys, the Marketing
Department of Zumospa have organized an informal departmental meeting to brainstorm ideas for their
global marketing strategy.
Brainstorming Session
1. Does Zumo need a new name? If so, what? Answer: Yes requires, with new name "Pocca"
2. Introduce new Zumo varieties for different market segments eg. Diet Zumo? Other versions?
Answer: another version with new name: Pocca soft drink, Pocca fermented milk drink
Task
You are members of the Marketing Department of Zumospa. Work in groups and brainstorm the
points listed in the rough notes. Then meet as one group and select of the best suggestions for
further study.
Writing
As Marketing Manager for Zumospa, write a memo to the directors of the company informing them
of the key ideas which came out of the brainstorming session you attended. You should indicate
which ideas you favour and why. (Writing file page 140)
Answer:
To : company director
From the ideas we got, it seems that the name zumo is better changed, because it is less attractive
and less suitable for energy drinks, and we suggest that the replacement name is "POCCA" and we
make the new slogan "feel good feel pure" more suitable and attractive because in this day and age
consumers like the interesting and unique. We will also change the design of the product to attract
consumer interest. And we suggest new Zumo products such as fermented milk drink pocca or soft
drink pocca for different market segments.
Thankyou

Policy on office relationships
I’m extremely concerned about the growing number of close relationships between members of
staff. This is having a very bad effect on both performance and morale.
As you know, there have been three cases recently where employees have developed personal
relationships which seriously affected both their own performance and their colleagues’.
Furthermore, I’ve heard this morning that one of the individuals concerned is threatening the
company with legal action.
As a result, I’d like the Human Resources Department to review in detail each of the three cases and
advise how to proceed. These are:
The details
1. Appointment of Tania Jordan
A few mounth ago, Karl and two other directors, Marcus Ball and Julia Kovacs,
appointed a new manager. There were three excellent candidates. Finally Tania Jordan was
selected – mainly because Marcus had argued strongly in her favour. Karl discovered later that
she and Marcus started living together. When Karl told him he should have withdrawn from
the selection process, Marcus said angrily, ‘Listen, I didn’t knoe her so well at the time. In
anycase, it’s my private life. I supported Tania because she was the best person for the job’.
Karl discussed the matter with Jenny. They decided to take no further action.
Specific questions
Later on in his memo, Karl asked Jenny and her team to consider the following questions.
1. Did we make the right decision concerning Marcus Ball and john Goodman? What further
action, if any, should we take in each case?
Answer: No, for the Marcus Ball case, at least a fair re-appointment is made based on the
talents/abilities of each candidate, without any persuasion from Marcus Ball. As for John
Goodman's case, moving him to another department wouldn't be such a bad idea, but still
giving him the same position but with an agreement that contained an agreement not to mix
personal relationships with work to cause serious problems. If repeated, the risk that John
Goodman could possibly be more fatal, such as dismissal.
2. If the accusation against Derek Hartman is true, what action should we take?
Answer: If true, Derek Haritman needs to be disciplined and transferred to another
department that is different from Petra Palmer
3. Should the company have a written policy on close relationship at work? If so, what should be
the main guidelines for staff? What sanctions should there be for staff who don’t follow the
guidelines?
Answer: yes, they have to, even though their work is increased because they have the
motivation to achieve their achievements, conditions like this have the potential to pose a
risk to work and interfere with performance.
4. How can we avoid someone gaining an unfair advantage from having a close relationship with
another member of staff? Are there any specific examples of bad practice that could be
written into the policy document?
Answer: report to the superior so that such a thing does not happen. For example, a
company leader has a close relationship with his staff which gives rise to favoritism and
special service, this can cause other staff to feel that they are being done unfairly and feel
uncomfortable in their work environment.
Task
You are members of the Human Resources Department at Crawford PLC. Discuss the questions in
Karl’s memo and agree what action to take. One of you should take the role of Jenny and chair the
meeting.
Jenny : We’re here today to Discuss problems that occur in the office environment. Let me just
summarize the main points of this meeting. We are here to discuss the Marcus Ball and John
Goodman cases, the allegations against Derek Hartman, written policies on close relationships in
the workplace, and gaining an unfair advantage.
A : In my opinion, For the Marcus ball case, at least a fair re-appointment is made based on the
talents/abilities of each candidate, without any persuasion from Marcus ball.
B : I strongly agree about that, and for John Goodman's case, moving him to another department
wouldn't be such a bad idea, but still giving him the same position but with an agreement that
contained an agreement not to mix personal relationships with work to cause serious problems.
A : If repeated, the risk that John Goodman could possibly be more fatal, such as dismissal. I think
that's enough for the cases of Marcus Ball and John Hartman
Jenny : Well it looks like doing a fair reappointment and moving John Goodman to another
department and giving the deal is enough to sort this out, And what about the allegations against
Derek Hartman?
B : and If it true, Derek Haritman needs to be disciplined and transferred to another department
that is different from Petra Palmer
Jenny : okey good idea, So if that proves to be true Derek Hartman and Petra Palmer will be placed
in separate departments. Do we need our company to have a written close relations policy in the
workplace?
B : yes, we have to, even though their work is increased because they have the motivation to
achieve their achievements, conditions like this have the potential to pose a risk to work and
interfere with performance.
A : I agree to it, I think we have to make a written policy like Prohibition of dating with a
colleague, it is permissible to have close relations but the divisions are different, and Prohibition
of husband and wife relations in a company and one of them must resign
A : and the sanctions for employees who break the rules are Get a warning or warning (SP) And If
they have received a warning of up to 3 times, it will potentially be issued
Jenny : well that sounds good and i agree, so how do we avoid someone getting an unfair
advantage by having a relationship with another staff member? do you guys have any case
examples?
B : report to the superior so that such a thing does not happen. For example, a company leader
has a close relationship with his staff which gives rise to favoritism and special service, this can

Group 2:
Over the last ten years Kimsoong, with its reputation for reliability at low prices, has built up
market share at the lower end of the market. Their basic models include many ‘extras’ which other
manufacturers charge for. Kimsoong also makes large donations to environmental groups and is
seen as an organisation with a social conscience. Furthermore, its R&D Departement is developing
an ‘eco-car’ which uses an alternative power source.
Problems
Teaching Material for PIWAR Students 2021. References : Market Leader ; Bill Mascull
Intense competition is forcing Kimsoong to consider new ways of generating business. Management
believe that if the company looks after existing customers well, they may buy three or four
Kimsoong vehicles over a ten-years period. Therefore, Kimsoong’s new strategy is to hold on existing
customers and increase customer loyalty. They also hope to develop a more accurate buyer profile.
(At present, dat is from questionnaires sent to customers following sales but only 40% are returned.)
However, because of pressure on profits, they need to achieve these objectives at a low cost.
Solutions
A customer loyalty programme will be developed by the Customer Services Departement at head
office. It will be available to all European franchises and costs will be shared 50/50 with head office.
Its aims are:

Background
KGV is a traditional high-street music retailer. Based in Amsterdam, it has 12 stores in the
Netherlands, three of which are megastores. Some years ago, it expanded into the rest of Europe
and now owns 65 stores – eight of these are megastores.
The company is at present going through a difficult period. Over, the last three years, profits have
steadily fallen, from €450m to €290m. The megastores’ sales have risen by 8%, accounting for 55%
of the company’s turnover, but the increased revenue has been achieved only by heavy expenditure
on advertising and promotion. Fierce competition, a narrow product range and a lack of innovation
are some of the reasons for KGV’s poor perfomance. The management are concerned, especially,
that they are not exploiting the opportunities offered by selling through the Internet.
Market study
A study by KGV’s Marketing Departement was recently carried out and it produced the following
findings:
1 It is estimated that, in five years’ time, 50% of all music products will be bought through the
Internet.
2 65% of consumers under the age of 30 prefer to do their shopping on the Internet.
3 KGV’s customers would like stores to provide a wider product range (see chart I).
4 Average spending per month in KGV’s medium-sized stores is highest among the 41-60 age group
(see chart 2).
5 Spending on music products by the over 60 age group will increase significantly in the next ten
years in Europe.
6 The various age groups have clear preferences as to the type of music they enjoy and purchase
(see chart 3).
Listen to a conversation between Michael Johnson, a director of KGV, and Hanna Driessen, the
recently appointed Financial Director of the company. They are discussing the company’s
strategy before a forthcoming management meeting about KGV’s future. Make short notes on
the opinions they express.
Listening answer:
Short Notes
Michael:
1. We have serious problems and need radical solution.
2. We should get out of high street retailing altogether.
3. We should go completely online and sell all the stores.
4. We are not bringing in the younger ones.
5. Staying where we are is not an option.
Hanna:
1. Going online is not simple. We have no experience.
2. What's wrong is that we are not promoting goods properly. We need to outsource advertising
and promotion.
3. We need to pay more attention to the findings and studies done by marketing departments.
4. We should get a consultant to look at our product range.
5. We must stay in the high street.
Task Answer:
1. Yes, it is necessary to sell goods via the internet as well because selling on the internet will
expand the market and people outside the sales area can view and buy goods sold via the internet.
2. You don't have to close all the shops, because musical instruments need to be stored
specifically so they don't get damaged, besides that, having a shop is also necessary because it's not
uncommon for buyers to want to see first hand the condition of goods before buying, having a shop
will give more confidence to buyers and add to the professional impression buyer's eyes.
a. If closing all the stores for storing musical instruments will be more difficult, because musical
instruments cannot be stored or placed in any place because they will be damaged more easily, if
damaged it can cause losses and price reductions
b. Using the internet can reduce the company's advertising costs because the internet will
further expand the market even outside the shop area or country.
c. The company must form a division that focuses on developing the company via the internet.
For example, the social media account management division so that customers outside the store area
can always be updated with what the company has.
3. KGV can follow some of the suggestions given by Hannah because some of them can be profitable
and are a good solution, but not all of Hannah's suggestions can be implemented.
a. Reducing the outsourcing of advertising and products can be made, because using the internet
can reduce costs in spending on advertising and promotion costs, besides that the market that will be
reached via the internet will be wider.
b. hiring a consultant to look at the product mix is a good idea as KGV Customers want stores to
stock a wider range of products so hiring a consultant would be very helpful.
c. It is better to focus on existing markets because KGV is in a transition period, if there are too
many projects at one time it is feared that it will have a negative impact on the company.
4. The consequence of the chosen strategy is that when you open a shop via the internet, it is
definitely not as stable as a store in the real world, because you have to go through a period of
adjustment and introduction of new customers to old and new customers that KGV now has e
commerce, but in the long term with having a store that is actively selling online will also have many
advantages and not be outdated.
The problem of large costs in spending on advertising and promotion costs can be minimized
because you can carry out promotions via the internet in an effort to reduce advertising and
production costs. Besides that, KGV also doesn't need to close all of its stores, because it's better if
the company operates on two sides, namely online and offline.
Writing
You are the Managing Director of KGV. Write a memo to a director of the company who was unable
to attend the management meeting. In the memo, summarise the discussion and decisions of the
meeting and ask the director for his/her coments.
Writing answer:
regarding the results of the meeting it can be interpreted that the solution of closing all shops and
moving only in the online environment is not a good decision, because storing musical instruments
will be more difficult, besides that musical instruments cannot be stored or placed anywhere
because they will be damaged more easily, if damaged they can only cause losses and price
reductions
KGV can make sales online by using the internet. With that, KGV can reduce company costs in
advertising expenses because with the internet, it can expand the market even outside the store
area or country to reach a wider market.
The consequence of the chosen strategy is that when you open a shop via the internet, it is definitely
not as stable as a store in the real world, because you have to go through a period of adjustment and
introduction of new customers to old and new customers, that KGV now has e-commerce, but in the
long term, having a store that actively selling online will also have many advantages in the future and
not be outdated.
