An entity sells goods with a warranty covering customers for the cost of repairs of any defects that are discovered within the first two months after purchase. Past experience suggests that 80% of the goods sold will have no defects, 15% will have minor defects and 5% will have major defects. If minor defects were detected in all products sold the cost of repairs would be €30,000; if major defects were detected in all products sold, the cost would be €150,000. What amount of provision should be made?

Assume Clinique expects to sell 3 million ounces of BB cream within the first year after introduction butexpects that half of those sales will come from buyers who would otherwise purchase Clinique’s moisturizer (that is, cannibalized sales).

Refer to the discussion of cannibalization in Appendix 3: Marketing by the Numbers for an explanation of how to conduct this analysis. (AACSB: Written and Oral Communication; Analytical Thinking)

On Sunday morning, a major international news organization broke a story that the company who manufactures three critical custom John Deere parts is treating their employees as slave-labor. To compound problems, a terrorist group launched an attack in a Middle Eastern country where the back-up supplier is located. The back-up supplier’s factory was badly damaged by a bomb and will be out of commission for at least 12 months. The “good news” is that they will sell you one-month of parts at 1000% the normal price. The final challenge is that the US government in January 2022 will require tracking and auditing on manufacturing inputs purchased abroad, which means that John Deere will have to devote extra company resources to maintaining compliance. Discuss options for addressing this situation in the short-term and long-term. Put together detailed strategic recommendations for managing future costs and risks over the next 5 years(Branding; Production; Sales; etc.

Louis Estrada is Regional Manager at Commander Electronics in Atlanta, Georgia. He received an e-mail from Joseph Grimes, a frustrated restaurant owner who is demanding a steep price match for all his trouble with two new 4K Ultra HD televisions that both malfunctioned (see Activity 6.12). He had bought a Samsung QLED Q90R 65" 4K UHD TV (QN65Q90RAFXZA) at Commander Electronics for $2,597.99 plus tax. After installing it, he found, much to his chagrin, that the TV set failed the very next day. Wanting a new TV as soon as possible, he drove 30 minutes to the same Commander Electronics store to exchange the faulty model for another Samsung QLED Q90R 65" 4K UHD TV. A few days later, this TV also conked out. Again Joseph had to return the TV set, but this time he insisted on exchanging it for a different brand, a comparable LG 65" 4K UHD HDR Smart OLED TV (OLED65C8PUA) or a larger Sony 75" 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV (XBR75X940E) that also fit Joseph’s criteria. However, at almost $3,000 both…
React to these statements:The customer must have the power to decide if he is willing to pay more for the quality of a product. Therefore, it is reasonable to integrate an acceptable level of quality approach with which the customer can use warranties to repair any product defect. Companies must assume a total quality management approach regardless of the cost of implementation, since a deviation from this approach implies serious damage to the company's reputation.

Inditex is the world's biggest clothes retailer (measured by sales), and Zara is its largest brand. Amancio Ortega (who retired as Chairman of Inditex in 2011) formed the company with Rosalia Mera in 1975. Ortega had begun working asadeliveryboy for a shirt-maker and, in 1963, when still in his twenties, he started supplying clothes towholesalers.In1975,a German customer cancelled a large order, so the firm opened its first Zara retail shop in La Coruna, Spain - simply as an outlet for cancelled orders. The experience taught Ortega the importance of the 'marriage' between the operations of production and retailing. This guided the company's evolution - Miguel Diaz, a senior marketing executive: "It is critical for us to have five fingers touching the factory and the other five touching the customer (Ferdows et al. 2004, p. 106)" The company had six stores by 1979 and opened them in all major Spanish cities during the 1980s. In 1988, the first international Zara store opened in Porto,…

Engineering student Bryan Springer has a high paying summer job as a forklift operator. This job enables him to attend university without having to take out any student loans. He was now staring at a 50-gallon drum filled with used machine coolant, wondering what he should do. Just moments ago, Bryan's supervisor, Max Morrison, told him to dump half of the used coolant down the drain. Bryan knew the coolant was toxic, and he mentioned this to Max. But Max was not swayed. Max: The toxins settle at the bottom of the drum. If you pour out half and dilute it with tap water while you're pouring it, there's no problem. Byran: I don't think that's going to work. Besides, isn't it against the law? Max: Look, kid, I don't have time for chat about a bunch of laws. If I spent my time worrying about every little regulation that comes along, I'd never get anything done -- and neither will you. Common sense is my rule. I just told you --Toxins settle at the bottom, and most of them will stay…
