Situational Analysis (1/3)
BPS Genesis
Born out of BARCO N.V. in 1981 after focus realignment in late
1970s
New Focus:
Vision to be a leader in the niche product market
Strong commitment to R&D (8 to 10% of turnover)
Expansion in product development and international sales
By 1989 developed three lines of projectors:
Video
Data Graphics
Superior Technology and Quality
Highest scan rates in the production
Wide ranging applications
Continually upgrading scan rates to be competitive

Situational Analysis (2/3)
Forces behind BarcosProduct Evolution
Constant search for best possible image quality Flexibility towards inputs
Increasing user friendliness
BPS used scan rates to segmentize its market
Video Projector < 16kHz Data Projectors 16 to 45 kHZ
Graphics Projector 16 to 64 and above
BG 400: Industrys best scan rate @ 72 kHz
Two types of Distributor: Box and System
Prefer their products due to higher profit margins
Some complain for the complexity of the products

Problem Analysis
Relied on their direct competitor Sony for tube Could squeeze them out anytime by raising prices
Put their faith on Sony business practices
Over confident about their future projections Predicted Sony to remain below BPS standards Did not incorporate better 8 tube offered by Sony
Launch of 1270 projector by Sony
Rumored to be priced 20 to 40 % below standard Best scan rate and clarity in the market
BPS could lose 75% of its projected profits
Pressure by distributors to reduce price

9/14
Decision Analysis (1/3)
Go ahead with scheduled development of
Digitally controlled projectors
Will be easy to implement
Timelysupply of advance orders
Can make organizedplan to develop projector to
compete against 1270
Can capturemarket with their first digital projector

10/14
Decision Analysis (2/3)
Develop BG700 using BD700
development as spring Board
Will lead supply delayof advance orders
Will still be inferiorto 1270
Can create a dentin loyal customer base
and strong distribution network
-

11/14
Decision Analysis (3/3)
Immediately commence Development of
BG800
Futilityof already invested resources (180 person
months)
No arrangement of lens
Will put pressureon employees
Only 40% chance of meeting the Infocomm
deadline
-

12/14
Plan of Action (1/2)
Continue with scheduled development of
BD700
Shun the development of BG700 as cant
compete with 1270
Start planning development for superior
variant BG800
Will give them time to analyze the strength and
price range of 1270 and compete accordingly
Places them ahead in the next development
cycle

Plan of Action (2/2)
Should tie up with some lens makers
and invest in R&D
Also seek substitute tube suppliers
Should focus on Asian market,
develop efficient distribution network
