Brand Management

Q1. Maruti has finally gained tremendous success in the luxury Sedan segment after the launch of a separate brand Nexa. Owing to this Hyundai, the other major player in the small car segment is feeling the jitters. It feels that it too should follow the same strategy as it is more known for small cars and except the Verna, all its other luxury sedans have failed. Some analysts are even against the idea. Can you guide them on the same?

Q2. Flipkart after receiving the latest funding from Soft Bank, now wants to extend its brand in other areas as well. The first new segment it wants to target is the car buying and selling segment. It wants to come out with an extension called Flipkarz by end of 2017. Analyst are skeptical about the same. Is it a good decision? What steps should Flipkart follow to make it a success?

Q3. Analyze the below given Case study and answer the questions below:
Snapchat is both a messaging platform and a social network. It can't be used from the regular we and exists only as a mobile app on your iPhone or Android smartphone. Users can chat with their friends by sending them photos, short videos up to 10 seconds long. You can sort of think of it to be like texting with pictures or videos. Text chats and video calls are two other features that were added more recently to the app. One of the most unique things about Snapchat is the ephemeral components of all the content that gets shared on it. Photos and videos essentially disappear a few seconds after they've been viewed by their recipients. Average revenue per user was 90 cents in the first quarter, Snap said, up from 32 cents the same quarter a year earlier but below the $1.05 per user in the fourth quarter of 2016.Snap's net loss widened to $2.21 billion, or $2.31 per share, in the first quarter, from $104.6 million, or 14 cents per share, due to stock-based compensation related to the IPO.
Facebook once failed to buy Snapchat; ever since, it's tried to copy it, mostly without success. Until now. Facebook's Instagram Stories, a clear Snapchat clone, has more daily users than Snapchat itself - and parent company Snap Inc. should be very worried. Snap's latest earnings report isn't helping either. On Thursday, the company said user growth for the April-June period was a paltry 4 percent from the previous quarter. Snap's stock, already down 44 percent since its initial public offering in May, declined 14 percent, to $11.90, in extended trading after the results came out. That's less than half of the $24.48 closing price on its first trading day. While the doom doesn't spell imminent death, it's a sign that Snapchat could be relegated to the side-lines as a niche app for young people - or worse, a passing fad - rather than a major competitor for digital ad dollars like Facebook and yes, even the struggling Twitter.
BY THE NUMBERS
Instagram recently disclosed that Stories, which lets people share videos and snapshots in a continuous 24-hour loop, has amassed 250 million daily users in the year since it launched. Snapchat, in comparison, had 173 million in the second quarter - and that's all of Snapchat, not just its version of Stories. Instagram in its entirety, meanwhile, had more than 400 million daily users as of February 2017, the last official count.
TO GROW OR NOT TO GROW
Facebook sends notifications for all sorts of things, such as a friend doing a live video or another friend posting something after an extended absence. Another might be on a new item for sale in the service's "marketplace" section. These notifications - which primarily appear in the Facebook app but can also be pushed to the phone's home screen - can conceivably keep people returning day after day. While Snapchat sends fewer notifications, it encourages daily use through Snap streak, which calls out streaks in which two friends send each other snaps at least once for more than three consecutive days. But it isn't working too well, as daily use hasn't grown much.
RIVALS UPON RIVALS
Rivals don't always succeed. Facebook recently shut down Life stage, which lets those 21 and under share photos, selfies and videos with classmates. Life stage was aimed at high schoolers - a big chunk of Snapchat's audience. Before that, Facebook killed Slingshot, another Snapchat clone for sending disappearing messages. In turn, that followed the demise of Poke, which also let people send photos and videos. All that followed Snapchat's decision to rebuff Facebook's $3 billion offer for the service in 2013.But Facebook and others kept trying and trying, until Facebook succeeded with Instagram Stories. Easy to use and piggybacking on Instagram's existing popularity, Stories expanded Snapchat's idea to a broader range of users. While Snapchat's audience is mostly teens and young people, on Instagram, anyone might send a "story." Other messaging apps are looking to clone Snapchat, too. Google is reportedly working on Stamp, which The Wall Street Journal compared to Snapchat's Discover feature for letting people find photo and video-heavy news items. While Google isn't commenting on Stamp, published reports say the company is in talks with the likes of Vox Media and Time Inc. to create such content.

a. What according to you is wrong with Snapchat?

b. What strategies can it undertake to revive?

Customer Relationship Management

Q1. With Jio now entering even the mobile handset space, Nokia, the latest re-entrant is a bit worried. It feels that it needs to tighten its laces well in advance before Jio goes for Intensive sales and marketing. It feels that CRM is the best way forward and plan to utilize the benefits of the same but don t know how to implement the same. Can you please guide them on the same as there is no scope of error?

Q2. Samsung Mobiles off late post the Note Series fiasco is facing troubled times. The sales have dropped and customer complaints are on the rise. They are not able to handle customer issues and are slowly losing out to competition. Can you help them find a way out of this problem?

Q3. Read and Analyze the below given case and answer the questions at the end of it This is the first time in the history of industry that the spending on customer relationship management tools is going to outdo enterprise resource planning tools. Analysts say that the spending on CRM will be $36.5 billion next year, $1.5 billion more than ERP. One would wonder why the sails of CRM took so long to capture glory. One would also wonder why corporations have taken so long to make this happen. In the digital world traditional CRM does not cut it, and that s the reason why over the last five years CRM has clearly sailed with wind. For the first time, corporate houses feel insights can increase their sales in the long run. This is just a phenomenon in the West. Just when you thought consumer suffering had ended, Indian consumers will continue to suffer because corporate and government alike have ignored CRM services. No wonder Indian services are the worst the world over.
Indian automobile, telco and banking services are yet to understand the power of the data that they have mustered over the last decade. These companies are so sales driven that they almost forget the events after the sale. They think a post sales call makes the cut in the digital era.
Even government services do not invest in CRM and therefore they have no way of telling whether the quality of life for a citizen has gone up. They love citizen apathy and in this digital age consumers still suffer from the lack of data when it comes to government services. Our CRM is in the hands of politicians and companies that worry about the next election or the next sale.
According to the United Nations, India ranks 118 in the happiness index. Although the happiness index has other indicators such as social capital and freedom of life, it also indicates that Indians suffer quietly as all services do not match up to improve the quality of life of its people
The opportunity
CRM is no longer about subjecting people to satisfaction calls and sending home coupons to be redeemed in the weekend. The customer has truly moved digital in developed markets and in India the story is no different in at least major cities. In the consumer world, the narrative with corporate is about understanding the customer from the moment he browses on product or catalogue. It is about taking this experience and matching it with the customer behaviour in the offline world. For example, if a brand wants to know why its product sold well on Amazon or Flipkart , then it must also work out the metrics to understand how people walked in to its offline stores and explored other products. They can then use this data to match it to work out their supply chain strategy and by doing so they can even streamline the entire manufacturing process. These consumer goods companies and retailers also must take the loyalty and rewards programmes to a whole new experience.
The business to business companies (like manufacturers) invest in CRM to understand their dealers, their component manufacturers, and their sales teams. ERP tools captured processes and schedules. But it never offered components to understand the entire customer ecosystem. Data were always there, but corporations focussed on delivery cycles based on sales data rather than understanding the nuances beyond these sales.
Unfortunately, CRM is pass in India barring a few companies like Amazon India and Flipkart and it will be sometime before it becomes important. Until then let us suffer silently like we always have.

a. What according to you is the reason behind the sorry state of affairs of CRM in India?

b. What steps should be taken to improve the same?

Objectives of Launching Hotstar:
In India, the internet speed is a problem. So, the initial aim for the developers to make the platform to operate even at as low as 50kbps. So, great video experience on any bandwidth even on 2G! It was developed such a way so the application can run on as many as 7,000 operating systems any screen sizes.
According to a survey, more than 78% of the 152 million Indian internet users are mobile and the average spending on mobile internet is Rs. 235 per month.

Digital media is expected to grow at 37% in 2015, compared with an average rate of 35% over the last two years, so star India will open a large scale of advertising in this country. It approaches to a larger and valuable target audience, the younger generation and those in the 25-and-above age bracket, wanting to consume content on the go.
Moreover, Hotstar has done brilliant job when it comes to optimizing the search engines. More than 12% of their visitors come from search engines like Google, Bing, MSN and Yahoo. The investment on this platform by Star stands around Rs 1,200 crore over five years.
Top Features of Hotstar:
1. You can share any content on Hotstar with your friends on Facebook & Twitter.
2. You can watch movies which are available in the library for free.
3. A lot of popular old shows like The Great Indian Laughter Challenge, Khichdi & Sarabhai vs. Sarabhai are available with all episodes.
4. TV Channels (shows from which are available) include Asia net, Channel V, Life OK, MAA, Star Jalsha, Star Plus, Star Pravah, Star Utsav, Star Vijay, Star World & Suvarna.
5. You can add that video to your playlist and watch them later.
6. You can even download many shows to watch them offline.
Accomplishments:
It was launched on 1st of February and became the fastest to cross one million download marks in six days. It outdid apps like Facebook (10 months), Instagram (2.5 months) and Twitter (one year), the app has managed to achieve an average TSV (time spent per viewer) of 24 minutes a day.
According to ALEXA, Hotstar is now ranked 123 among all websites in India, and the global rank is 1997, which is improving day by day. It is the most reached online sports platform according to the Tele Web Audience Measurement system.

Enterprise Resource Planning

1. Jayashri Enterprises is a manufacturing firm involved in production and selling of PVC cables. It is located at outskirts of Mumbai, India. It has got one manufacturing plant and is looking for opening a new plant soon. Jayashri Enterprises has been using Tally as an accounting package and MS-Excel for recording other information. Introduction of GST has triggered the discussion regarding ERP implementation in its recently concluded Board meeting. The MD of the firm has heard about ERP but not sure about ERP functionality. She has also heard that ERP solutions are too expensive but nowadays open source ERP software are also available, which can be implemented at much lower cost. She has invited you to explain what ERP is and how it would be useful for her firm. What advice would you give her?

2. You are consultant to Jagat Facility Management Services. This firm has over 100 clients and more than 2000 employees. You have implemented the ERP software for this company. Explain the methodology that you have adopted for this firm. Also share the lessons learned.

3. It is simply ridiculous! The pricing is too much! This was the reaction, which Ms Phatima Bidarkar received when she shared her consulting fees. Why we should pay so much for consulting services when the ERP software comes for free? A question followed the initial reaction. Ms Phatima Bidarkar started her career as SAP functional consultant with a large manufacturing enterprise, which had implemented SAP ERP. While working on fine-tuning the ERP implementation, she also learnt how it is important to do proper Business Process Reengineering (BPR) to get maximum advantage of ERP implementation. After working for five years there, she started her consulting company where she emphasized the need for BPR before and even after ERP implementation. She got her initial business from the customers and suppliers of her former employer as her employer served as a great reference for her work. Since most of these firms were small businesses, she started offering her services for implementing open source ERP software called ERPNext. Recently Ms Phatima Bidarkar started to do cold calling for getting new customers. That is when she started getting resistance for pricing of her consulting services. Since she used to offer BPR services in addition to ERP functional consulting services, she couldn t reduce her prices. But she was equally worried that she may need to abandon the SME market segment if she sticks to her pricing.

a. Should Ms Phatima Bidarkar reduce her consulting fees? If yes then explain how and if not then explain why not.

b. Is BPR needed for SMEs before implementing ERP? If yes then explain why and if not then explain why not.

3. MUMBAI: In what could be a sign of things to come with gushing liquidity coupled with rising optimism about policy reforms in the country after the Rajya Sabha approval for bringing in the Goods & Services Act, the Reserve Bank of India intervened to temper the Indian's Rupee's appreciation versus the US dollar, said three currency dealers. Expectations are rising that global investors starved of returns from fixed income investments may raise their investments into the highest yielding emerging market as government's actions provides them the comfort of prudent economic policies. "Depending on the global risk sentiment we could see fund flows into India continuing in the coming months," said Brijen Puri, managing director, head of markets, JP Morgan (India). "It would be an opportunity for the RBI to shore up our dollar reserves, which could be used to moderate volatility in future" On Thursday, some state-owned banks were buying dollars in early trades on behalf of the central bank, when the rupee opened stronger by 15 paisa to the greenback. Later, it pared gains to close at 66.92, up 0.10 per cent from 66.99 on Wednesday. The rupee is now expected to trade in the range of 66.50-67.50 per dollar versus 67-68, seen a few weeks ago, dealers said. The implementation of GST from next fiscal, though could be inflationary in the short term, may add to the gross domestic product by as much as 2 percentage point. That coupled with better tax compliance and higher rates on services could bolster the government's finances. The perennial fear of government's fiscal being dodgy could also end. "Unanimous decision to amend the constitution to pave way for introduction of GST is a big positive and will renew optimism among foreign investors," MS Gopikrishnan, head of FX, rates and credit trading at Standard Chartered Bank. "While the rupee market had largely priced in the amendment, higher inflows from overseas investors should help the rupee to appreciate."
