In response to your question about how effectively MacVille adds value to its products and services, the following responses were agreed<\/p>\n<p>by all.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Inbound logistics is a problem, due to the lack of experienced personnel in importation and customs The lack of solutions from Human<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Resources management has meant that delivery timelines are sometimes delayed because the proper procedure was not followed.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The operations of MacVille is an area of strong value-add, with the state-of-the- art Management Information System (MIS) forming part of MacVille\u2019s infrastructure. The MIS has allowed for sound corporate\/strategic planning, along with strong internal controls in accounting and finance.<\/li>\n<li>Outbound logistics is an area that could be improved. Currently, MacVille relies on a three-year contract with a delivery firm to deliver its goods to customers. Sometimes there is a delay in getting the appropriate vehicle to deliver the espresso coffee machines, which is causing some issues with customers. The contract delivery firm seems to be struggling to deliver the promised quality with their fast expansion.<\/li>\n<li>All managers agreed that marketing and sales are strong points for MacVille. The marketing communications and promotions mix seems to be working well, particularly with the social marketing that MacVille has introduced in the past Technology developments are helping MacVille to reduce costs, yet expand the message via internet marketing activities.<\/li>\n<li>Service is another strong point for MacVille, which enjoys a good reputation in this field. The installation, after-sales service, complaints handling and training all get top marks from customers. Some of MacVille\u2019s procurement policy has helped in this regard, with MacVille outsourcing work where it cannot meet customer demand. The policy of putting the customer first and guaranteeing service calls within 24 hours has been a key reason for the increased sales.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In a brainstorm with the CEO and senior managers, the following points were noted. When asking about the potential for opportunities, threats and competitors, the consensus was the following.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Moving into the new Sydney market, where the bulk of espresso machines are sold each year, and from which a major (but ineffective) competitor has withdrawn.<\/li>\n<li>Other opportunities could be found in strategic alliances with coffee bean suppliers, where market penetration could easily be achieved and costs of advertising and service could be shared.<\/li>\n<li>There was also concern about the rising Australian dollar having a severe long- term impact on tourism, which was a major category buyer of espresso Raising interest rates that are predicted for the coming years could impact negatively on the disposable income of coffee-drinking patrons.<\/li>\n<li>The concerns of the group were centred on a global corporation, Nufix Inc., shifting from instant coffee into the espresso bean and machine market. The resources they would have at their disposal in marketing, finance and human resources could be a serious threat to MacVille\u2019s However, they would<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>still struggle to gain a foothold in a market that already has strong supplier\/buyer allegiances, with most stretching over many years. Global players like Nufix Inc. have difficulty being adaptable to the needs of niche market buyers.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Another competitor of note was BeanEx, a large coffee bean supplier that had recently started importing espresso machines for their customers. There was talk of them selling the espresso machines as wholesalers. They certainly had easy access to markets with their coffee bean trade, but they had no established service arm to help wholesale clients maintain the machines that they purchased.<\/li>\n<li>MacVille has been keen to pursue strategic alliances as part of its strategy to achieve its objectives. It called for tenders from interested parties, who were asked to complete a tender application form that provided information relating to the tender requirements. Some notes have been included by senior managers who assessed some of the information.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Tender submissions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Three submissions are attached to this case study.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Business name \u2013 Home Espresso Traders<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Description of business <\/strong>(include vision, etc.) \u2013 Selling consumer home espresso machines to the home market, only in Sydney, and incorporating other digital home entertainment products.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Description of joint venture <\/strong>\u2013 Shared space in four trade shows per year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Venture: Strengths and weaknesses <\/strong>\u2013 Strength: covers the consumer market for espresso machines (which complements the commercial market for espresso machines) to make a full range offer to clients. Weakness: working with a strategic partner who is not solely focused on the hospitality industry.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Venture: Risks \u2013<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Partner not fulfilling their financial commitment.<\/li>\n<li>Association with a non-industry partner may have a negative effect on MacVille customer base.<\/li>\n<li>Partner access to MacVille\u2019s trade secrets.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Venture: Cost-benefit analysis <\/strong>\u2013 Costs of the shows are $2,500 each. Four shows costing $10,000, selling 10 machines per show at $500.
