Please provide a summary of the information given below. 7:333 all 100%.::CHAPTER I7Global Manufacturing and Supply-Chain ManagementThe N200's brightness is 13.5 lumens on high illumination and 8 lumens on low illumina-tion. The duration of light is 6 to 8 hours on one day's charge or 12 to 16 hours on two days'charge on the low light setting. For the high light setting, the light duration is 2.5 hours onone day's charge and 5 hours on two days' charge. While the brightness is not the same astraditional LED lighting, the N200's brightness is five times brighter than that of a kerosenelantern. The N200 is shatter- and rain-proof and built to last for five years.Nokero sells the N200 in large quantity orders (e.g., over 1,000 light bulbs) for about$6.00 (FOB China). Sample sales are priced between $15 and $20 (depending on shippingcosts).Building a Born-Global CompanyA few weeks after developing the N100, Katsaros worked on Nokero's business model,package design, pricing, and manufacturing and distribution processes. In April 2010, heformed Nokero International Ltd., the operating company of Nokero.The speed by which Nokero developed and manufactured the N100 and formed thebusiness entity could be attributed to Katsaros' experience as an inventor and entrepreneur.He had previously licensed inventions to sports companies, such as Dynastar Skis, K2, andHaberVision, and built RevoPower, a motorized wheel for bicycles that gets 200 miles pergallon at 20 miles per hour. A BS Mechanical Engineering graduate from Purdue University, aBard Center for Entrepreneurship certificate graduate recipient at the University of ColoradoDenver, and a B.F. Goodrich Collegiate Inventors awardee, Katsaros is a patent agent reg-istered with the U.S. Patent Office and Trademark Office, which has issued him several pat-ents for his previous inventions.From the start, Nokero was a born-global company with customers in different parts ofthe world, and co-owners and supplier partners in Hong Kong and China. Katsaros part-nered with three Hong Kong-based entrepreneurs to form Nokero International Ltd. in HongKong. These partners, associates of Katsaros in previous businesses, provided start-up cap-ital that represented a minority equity interest in Nokero and helped Katsaros find a strongand reliable factory supplier in China. Nokero also leveraged the HK partners' connectionswith the factory supplier to secure a trade financing line from the supplier. The HK partnersmanage Nokero's operations, including overseeing the supplier factory in China, filling largeorders directly from the factory, maintaining an outsourced fulfillment center in Shenzhen,China, to supply small and sample sales from all over the world, and managing the com-pany's supply chain.Nokero's Chinese supplier is an established factory that has significant experience andscale in consumer electronics. In solar-powered consumer electronic products alone, thesupplier produces more than 30 million pieces of solar products every year. The supplier'sclients include Walmart, Home Depot, Lowes, and other major retail customers in the UnitedStates and Europe.Nokero maintains its headquarters in Denver, Colorado, where the company overseessales and marketing, business development, web-based sales, and overall administrationof the business. To help him start and grow the business, Katsaros brought two of hisclosest associates, Evan Husney, who serves as General Counsel and the person respon-sible for business development, large orders, and the establishment of Nokero's dealernetwork, as well as Tom Boyd, who manages the company's corporate and marketingcommunications.Creating Groundswell SupportWidespread and favorable coverage by traditional and social media outlets has been instru-mental in getting the Nokero story out to as many people as possible. A key moment camewith a six-minute daytime television segment featuring Katsaros and Nokero with Ali Velshion the CNN show The Big Eye. Not only did the coverage reach a global audience, it helpedlegitimize Nokero to those who were interested in solar lighting in general and Nokero'sproducts in particular.II
