Case study task 2

Task2: Strategies for turning round the company. The leadership candidates will present three alternative strategies for the Board to consider. Examine the following strategies and write an e-mail to the Board summarizing them and indicating which one you would support, giving reasons for your choices.

 

Strategy   1

Lina Sports must give up its independence   and merge with, or be taken over by, a larger, financially stronger company.

Strategy   2

Lina Sports should acquire a number of   smaller companies and focus more on making sports accessories.

Strategy   3

Lina Sports should grow organically by   revising its organization, product ranges and marketing strategy.

 

1.     Director 1

In your opinion, the company should do the following:

       Agree to be taken over by the French retailer Universelle, so that the company will become stronger financially.

       Focus on other sports, such as golf, rugby and ice hockey, where the competition is less fierce.

       Reduce the company’s dependence on the football and athletics market.

       Concentrate more on lifestyle and fashion products, e.g. trainers and footwear for informal occasions.

       Introduce a more open style of management, giving responsibility for some decision-making to lower levels of management. This will improve staff morale.

 

2.     Director 2

In your opinion, the company should do the following:

       Buy smaller specialist companies and build them up, e.g. firms making golf bags and balls. There will be less competition in selling these products.

       Reduce the company’s endorsements of top sportspeople. Instead, it should pay well-known sportsmen and women to advise the company on new products. This will lead to more product innovation.

       Focus more on developing products with revolutionary designs and higher prices. This will help to improve profit margins.

       Keep the present style of management and introduce a cost-cutting programme, with the aim of reducing costs by 20% in the next year to help profitability.

 

3.     Director 3

In your opinion, the company should do the following:

       Bring out collections of footwear and clothing by famous international designers, aimed at the top part of the market. The profit margins on such products will be high.

       Go upmarket and aim to build a strong image for making luxury sports goods. Source all materials from Europe rather than from the Asia-Pacific region. This will help to keep both prices and quality high.

       Make more customized shoes, bags and sports accessories aimed at the top end of the market. This will help to attract consumer attention to the brand.

       Restructure the company into a series of business units, each with its own management reporting to the CEO. This will increase competition within the company, leading to greater efficiency.
