10. Read the following case and answer the questions given at the end:

Subhiksha (prosperity in Sanskrit) began with a single grocery store at Chennaiin .1997. Subhiksha stores increased from 50 in 2000 to 140 by 2002-03 (spreadacross 30 towns in Tamilnadu) to 670 by 2006-07 to 1650 by September, 2008. Itsearly s~ccess was due to its business model based upon no-frills/deep discount andhigh level of neighbourhood focus. Its decision in 2004 to go national from aregional player at a rapid pace proved wrong. With the growing ambition to gonational, focus shifted from value to customers to creating valuation for self. Thecompany had recruited all the employees to foray into consumer durables also. Itsrevenue increased from Rs. 278crore from 140 stores in 2005 to Rs. 2305 crore- -

in 2008 with a capital base of Rs. 32 crore. Subhiksha's profit after tax for2007-08 was Rs. 41 crore. It had invested heavily, largely using debt, and paybackstook longer than expected. Repayment of debt had no relationship to cash flow. Inthe end the company had liabilities of Rs. 900 crore.

Around January, 2009, the company had started to shut down stores pan-Indiaand in February, the top management quit the firm, not just because it defaultedon rentals of its outlets and salaries since October, 2008. Today all ~he stores areclosed. Major suppliers had stopped supplies after it defaulted on payments. Itasked its employees to take home groceries; and go on leave without pay. Manyemployees did not get their salaries. Initially the company was confi,dent ,to restructureand remain in business.

Indian retail industry comprises of 12 million mom-and-pop stores and kiranastores (many of whom have also started innovating) aI;ldunknown number ofhawkers in the unorganized sector working on small-sized stores and with low orno rentals and salaries and the organized retailers (market share not more thanI

5%). -

The emergence of a large young population and a growing middle class with strongdisposable incomes and credit card culture are the drivers of the organized retail,a mix of two types - ones going in for huge expansion announcements and othersfollowing "slow and steady wins the race strategy". The industry operates not on

a very ,hefty margin. The yearly top-line' growth is'likely to remain around 10-15%as against forecasted 35% this year. Compared with players like Pantaloon, Reliance,More, RPG and even Nilgiri's (which has private equity funding), Subhiksha hasno large group's backing (except Shri Azim Premji having 10% stake). The strategywas to raise more debt and keep equity low. During 2006, Subhiksha had a goodchance to make an initial IPO or raise private equity money, but it was in questof creating higher valuations. Suddenly retail was no longer so hot and thecapital tap had gone dry. Due to inability to raise more debt, working capital wasdiverted to expand. Many of the organized retailers have survived the downturnthrough transformation in their strategies and tactics. However, one thing iscertain th,;tt footfalls have declined for the organized retail.

Debt-ridden retailer Subhiksha Trading Services Ltd. has begun its second inningsin February, 2010, with the launch of its first cash-and-carry store (the boardoutside the outlet reads Subhiksha Maligai Arisi Mandi) in Thiruvanmiyur inChennai - at its first ever retail outlet). "Subhiksha's model will be different thistime around and will not directly engage with customers," said an industry source.

Questions:

(a) "To understand the nature of competition certain questions need to be answered."What those questions are?

(b) Who were the competitors of Subhiksha ? Do you think they were betterequipped than it ?

(c) What, where and how the business strategy of Subhiksha might have gonewrong?

(d) If you were the strategy consultant to the Organised Retailers Association ofIndia, what will you advise to control the cost and convert the threat ofdropping footfalls and declining sales into an opportunity? .

(e) How is a Cash-and-carry store different from a Retail store? Name any othersuch Cash-and-carry store in India. ' ,

Vikhroli alone, Ahmedabad, Pune and Kalyan), stable (fast moving consumer

goods), rural (Agrovat stores) and urban (organised retail stores-Nature's Basket,

domestic appliances and furniture). The group sells fatty acids to tyre manufacturers;

animal feed to 1,00,000 farmers; and premium wine in Mumbai and Delhi. Its

customers range from five-year olds (nutrine), ageing man (hair dye), to housewives

(soaps & locks), IT companies (renting sprawling spaces), to Government of India

(like rockets for Chandrayan), and to 50,000 barbers (Godrej dye). But it abstains in

new-age, sunrise industries like health care and information technology.

Godrej Consumer Products Limited (GCPL) has adopted a '3 by 3' strategy, sticking

to emerging markets in three regions - Asia, Africa and Latin America as their

culture, tastes and even skin colours are quite similar to India and in three categories

- personal care, hair-care and insecticides. Since 2005, GCPL has made seven

acquisitions, including its biggest acquisition of Indonesia's Megasari Group for

~ 1200 crore, in 2010. "Acquisitions overseas add status and pedigree to brand-

owners in the domestic market" says an expert. Prashant Goenka (Emami) questions

':When Indian companies such as Dabur, Godrej and Marico can make it big in

international markets, why can't Emami ?" Anil Chug '(Wipro) says, "by having a

presence in multiple markets our risk assessment is neutralized". Marico's Harish

opines- "the global play has helped Marico expand its footprint and given it another

avenue for growth."

Recently Godrej's top honchos toured the hinterlands, an indicator of the renewed

focus on consumer. To reach out to new customers, especially in rural India, it has..

gone in for destructive innovation. The group has been manufacturing refrigerators

for more than 50 years, but its penetration has been only 18%. It found out that

.I

people do not need a 180 litre fridge due to space and cost constraints. It came out

. with 'Chotukool' - a square 45 litre minifridge priced at just f 3,250. Another

example of destructive innovation is the launch of 'U & Us' - a 'by appointment'

design studio where customers co-design their furniture as customers see furniture as

an extension of their personality. Thus Godrej group is transiting from

. manufacturing-orientedto consumeroriented.

Question number 8 is compulsory.

Attempt any five questions from the rest.

8. Read the following case and answer the questions given at the end:

Sharp Corporation is a worldwide developer of innovative products and core

technologies that playa key role in shaping the future of electronics. As a leader in

liquid crystal. displays (LCDs) and digital technologies, Sharp offers one of the

broadest and most advanced lines of consumer electronics, information products and

electronic components, while also creating new network businesses. Sharp

Corporation has travelled a long way from an assembler of televisions to a leading

TV manufacturer. In its early days as business enterprise, the company was making

low quality and low price TVs and was, thus overshadowed by the giants like Sony,

Samsung and Matsushita. It was a technology follower in the beginning and was

using secondary technology. The brand image, too, was not very high. Sharp, under

the leadership of Machida, went for a brand image makeover by using innovation.

Jhe new leader has concentrated on R & 0, in addition to enhancing its market

coverage.

toIts innovation in liquid crystal displa~ (LCD) technology apd developing

. .

products featuring LCD's made at the reputed electronics company in Japan. Sharp is

now the world's largest manufacturer of LCD TVs. The company has very well

succeeded and sustaining its success is a major critical factor: its locus on

innovation. Unfortunately, the global economic downturn has hit Sharp worse than

the most American Companies. The industry as a whole, and Sharp in particular,

realised the fact that only innovation in terms of quality, cost and competitive

strength is the main survival factor. At the same time the industry is not unaware of

the fact that every new technology will obsolete faster. Average life of every new

technology is becoming shorter and shorter.

SOX-H

The ever changing competitive scenario with the global competitors waging to

':" dethrone Sharp and the entry of low cost manufacturers from Asia, have created

some of the biggest challenges for Sharp. Newer display technologies with superior

quality at a lesser price are emerging in the international market. Sharp has taken the

first mover advantage, but is facing competition from the late entrants.

Questions:

(i) What are the strengths of Sharp Corporation?

(ii) What are the weaknesses of Sharp Corporation? .
