of new products, fluctuating demand & competitor activities.

branding at initial levels to ensure better awareness.

support our basic cost advantage.

segment(s). Steadily expanding our operations and workforce initially while anticipating the need to
increase capacity further in the longer-term.
Quality: Focus on medium-high quality creation, increased training hours, increased maintenance levels as
the plant expands, improved relationships with suppliers, and increased inspection %.

supplier relation to $1200000 and raw material inventory stock to 6 weeks. We have increased the salary of

technology.

Finance:
Equity: Issuing of equity would be preferred more in the initial role overs than final role overs. As and when
enough cash inflows are generated, equity would be again repurchased.
Dividends: A marginal (preferably 10% - 20%) part of the profits would be distributed to the shareholders
annually, subject to change in case of loss.
Debt: Expansion would be funded from existing cash flows, but will, if necessary, increase debt to finance
it. We would expect increased cash flows following expansion to allow us repay any such debt quickly.
Decision: We have issued the Equity of $613000000 and Raised debt of $126000000 and the amount of
investor relation is $1500000
Expected Result:
Assuming that the competing players follow a complementary high margin strategy, we expect increased
revenues, market share & hence good profits which will subsequently result in an increased SHV.
Competitive Response:
If the competing players choose to follow a cost-based strategy, we will further revise our strategy with regard
to our vision.
