How many people (or animals) will be using the product

Recommended Analytical Structure

(3 pages + Exhibits)

I.                    Brief description of the Background behind the Decision. (Should enter to the animal or Human market)II.                 Recommendation

  • Takes Go/No-go decision for Oxyglobin or for Hemopure
  • Clearly identifies target segment(s)
  • Positioning which matches target
  • Proposed marketing mix
  • Price
  • Channel/ Sales Force
  • Basis for Recommendation

As we have learnt in class, market selection is based on three criteria:

1) Opportunity – market potential for each market

2) Fit – strategic considerations (such as production capacity)

3) Competitive analysis (specifically for the human market)

Then,

Comparison of pros and cons of your marketing decisions: price, target, channel.

Just a few pointers so you can work on the Biopure case at ease.

First of all, your recommendation should be:

whether Biopure should enter the Animal or the Human market and how to do it.

Your basis for recommendation should be based on:

  1. Strategic and qualitative (SWOT-based) assessments of the opportunity (both opportunities).
  2. Market sizing of revenue potential (also of both markets).

In order to do number 2, remember that you have to figure out:

  1. How many people (or animals) will be using the product
  2. How much (how many units) of it they will use

At this point you have units.  Now, since both markets have very different average prices, it is better if you transform units into dollars by multiplying by average price (now you have revenue potential).

Then have into consideration if the revenue potential will be all for Biopure or whether they may have to share it with competing companies.

Good luck.  Email me with issues at any point.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For your chosen scenario discuss the opportunities of the business based on your findings from your SWOT analysis and the associated implications for the decision/recommendations.

Situation Analysis – Opportunities (15 marks) –Identify and describe a minimum of three opportunities. These are external to the company (not potential strategic choices for the company) and focus on the factors identified in the CREST and competitive analysis. You must support each opportunity, which you identify by relevant and appropriately cited evidence, and clearly articulate how each opportunity will affect the company’s future. In this section, for your chosen scenario discuss the opportunities of the business based on your findings from your SWOT analysis and the associated implications for the decision/recommendations. Start with the opportunity points that are high probability/high impact, followed by high probability/low impact and so on. Be sure only to address the points that are relevant to the decision you need to make/recommend.

It is believed that Walmart Plus is Amazon prime’s competitor despite some differences between the two programs. Your team has been asked by the Walmart Canada executive team to conduct a situation analysis and make a full marketing mix recommendations regarding the launch of this service in Canada. Please note that the Walmart Canada executive team is interested in CANADIAN data, (not US or global data). The executive team will heavily discount analysis based on US or global data. It is imperative that your team visit the Ryerson Library to research Canada data to support your analysis. Based on your situation analysis, would you recommend Walmart to offer this service in Canada? Why or why not?
