Q1. What are the key differences between Sony's and Bacro's strategies as far as their product roll out is concerned prior to Aug 1989 in the projector market (that is, you need to compare and contrast the chronological order and the scan rate/prices/other features of the models that both players introduced in the market prior to Aug 1989)? Why is it that both players were playing such different strategies prior to Aug 1989?
Barco launched its first projector BV1 (scan rate of 16 kHz & priced at $11,250) in video segment in 1982. But soon Barco decided to enter the computer applications market and by the end of 1983 launched BD1 (scan rate of 16 to 18 kHz & priced at $13,500) in data segment. In 1984 Barco introduced two more projectors

They had a traditional strength in electronics and given the same tube and lens combination, BPS could achieve better performance than its competitors. Barco continually upgraded the scan rates of its most sophisticated projector line to match advances in application. For this, company committed strongly to R&D to keep them ahead of the industry experience curve. Their strategy was to limit the scan rate for each segment such as video (up to 16 kHz), data (16 to 45 kHz) and graphics (16 to 64 kHz & above). The raison d'être behind this was that they could have made it on one machine for each segment but not sold it for the highest price (determined by the Willingness-to-Pay for the customer in each segment). Different projectors priced at different price would help them to extract the maximum consumer surplus. As part of marketing strategy, BPS captured more specialized markets such as process control and simulation thus covering the breadth of industries (rail road, military, consulting, computing, entertainment). BPS also made strong ties with customers such as IBM and EEC thus creating barriers to entry. Barco forced dealers to spend time learning about Barco products, and dealers had to hire a certain number of Barco-approved technicians. The idea behind this was that dealers would know more bout Barco products than competitors and thus would push Barco products. Barco kept the number of dealers to low because more dealers will mean that
At Costco, VIZIO relied extensively on consumers to purchase their product without any assistance from salesman whom would either influence or steer the consumer during the sales. Because of their low brand awareness, they strategically placed their products on conspicuous display, right at the entrance at the stores, to catch the customers’ attention, but more importantly because their shoppers fell into the market segment target by VIZIO, 35+ years, wealthy, and with disposable income.

Looking at the price-scan rate map, the BV600, the S1031 and the BD600 all line up on the same value equivalent line. However, the BG400 lies north of that VEL. This implies that the BG400 is sold at a premium compared to the other projectors.
Market segmentation, has the ability to cater to the needs and wants of different types of customers. IndyCar has marketed the fan experience, this allows the fans to have more of a personal relationship with the sport, than NASCAR. According to Ferrell & Hartline (2014), “a marketing priority for IndyCar has been to enhance engagement with fans, both at and away from the tracks.

Barco’s business model is based on differentiation strategy, which in turns caters for a particular niche segment of the projection system market. BPS is thus able to charge a premium price for its products. In order to be competitive BPS cannot play the price war game with Sony, which has much wider presence in the electronics market. In addition, price war will erode the complete market. BPS can only sustain the differentiation game by bringing on new and better products.
Quasar can also control the quantity supplied and its price due to absence of competitors and substitutes. In order to increase the awareness about the product among large corporations, $600 million was spent on advertising with appropriate pricing policy. It optimized profit for Quasar by increasing demand and sales of the products. A price of $2,450 set for the computers produced total profit of $2.74 billion in the year 2004. The quantity demanded increased to 7.7 million from 5.3 million. In the following year 2005, in order to maximize the profit, the decision to upgrade the production process was taken. This increased the sales revenue and reduced the total cost for the business (Tata Interactive Systems, n.d.). The price was also decreased to $2,200 from $2,450 per unit, yielding a profit of $2.21 billion due to optimization of production processes. All these decisions taken in three years, when the company enjoyed a monopolistic situation due its patent rights, maximized the bottom line.

During this period, external markets were more stable and predictable and there was no real need for BA to adopt competitive strategies, being that there was little competition from rivals. There appears to be little in the way of strategy formulation and strategy implementation. This was mainly due to the established strategy and organisation environment remaining largely unchanged. Any change in BA's strategy would have developed in an incremental fashion, an almost natural
The hotels that we are writing about are The Ritz Carlton Singapore, the Intercontinental Singapore Hotel and the Marriott Singapore. Our main hotel will be the Ritz Carlton Singapore. We chose the hotels as they pose as prominent hotels in Singapore and they are also known overseas as well. Although they are quite similar, there are also several differences that can be seen as well. They are also very distinct in branding, and value their brands very highly. All three hotels boast amenities and services that will cater to a majority of their customers. As well as an experience that they believe we will value as customers.
