The cost of introducing the products in selected geographic areas for gauging consumer response is $150K. If the company decides to introduce the product this way, it would need to see the responses to the products before they decide to launch the product line nationally. The probability of a favorable response in the selected geographical areas is estimated at 0.60. La Comida can also decide not to go for the launching in the product in selected geographical areas and go ahead with the nationwide launch or not. If La Comida Foods decides to go full-blast in launching the products nationally and are a success, the company estimates that they will gain an annual income of $1.6 million.

- Washington Mutual was a conservative savings and loan bank. In 2008, it became the largest failed bank in U.S. history. By the end of 2007, WaMu had more than 43,000 employees, 2,200 branch offices in 15 states, and $188.3 billion in deposits.1 Its biggest customers were individuals and small businesses. Nearly 60% of its business came from retail banking and 21 percent came from credit cards. Only 14% were from home loans, but this was enough to destroy the rest of its business. By the end of 2008, it was bankrupt.2 Why WaMu Failed Washington Mutual failed for five reasons. First, it did a lot of business in California. The housing market there did worse than in other parts of the country. In 2006, home values across the country started falling. That's after reaching a peak of almost 14% year-over-year growth in 2004. By December 2007, the national average home value was down 6.5% from its 2006 high.3 Housing prices hadn't fallen in decades.

Does this fact alone confirm that “external factors are more important than internal factors” in strategic planning? Discuss.

What are the strategic implications of this trend for international commerce?

How does the need for technological forecasting differ in these industries? Why? Discuss the ethics of gathering competitive intelligence. Discuss the ethics of cooperating with rival firms.arrow_forwardDespite thirty straight years of increased revenues and profits, Walgreens found itself facing intense competition from Costco, Wal-Mart, and CVS. However, the biggest and newest threat to Walgreens’ business was mail-order prescription sales managed by pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), who work closely with companies, insurers, and health maintenance organizations to reduce pharmaceutical costs, which have been increasing an average of 13% per year. With Costco’s rock bottom prices, Wal-Mart’s incredible volume-based purchasing power, and PBMs, according to a government study, able to sell brand-name drugs and generic drugs 27% and 53% cheaper than traditional drug stores, Walgreens is going to have to tightly control its expenses to continue to be competitive. In terms of efficiency, it costs Walgreens less to fill a prescription order (i.e., fulfillment costs) than any other retailer in the business. PBMs, however, can still fill a prescription for half as much as Walgreens. To…arrow_forward
