Entry Level Strategy Our strategy was differentiated in that we tried to focus on the highest quality camera. We realized that this was too costly in both production and labor therefore we experimented in latter years with a best cost provider strategy.

Multi Level Strategy Our strategy was a differentiated strategy in that we focused on providing the highest quality camera to the most exclusive retailers. Similar to our entry-level strategy we experimented with several business models before finding our niche.

Carramrod’s Production Strategy We preferred employing enough labor to produce our product in house, and found that paying our employees overtime was more cost effective than outsourcing in most instances.

Financial Strategy After finding ourselves in some financial troubles we had to completely cut out our dividends to pay our outstanding loans in early years in order to maintain a good credit rating. In later years we were able to reinstate the dividends and plan to gradually increase dividends in years to come to help boost investor confidence.

Entry Level Competition We considered companies B, D, and F as our strongest competitors in the long run, even though our strategy and our competitors’ strategies changed over the years

Multi-Level Competition We felt that competition changed throughout the course of the game, but we considered our strongest competitors to be A, H, and I in multi-level.

Actions to Take We are trying to cut labor and production costs while maintaining our camera’s high quality standards in both categories of our cameras. We plan on putting more money into quarterly tech support and advertising to gain increased market share against our competitors.

Lessons Learned… When deciding a price to place on a discount bid be sure that you will earn a profit if you win the bid, by selling the camera for more than it’s production cost. We lost $27 per camera by not grasping the idea of the discount bidding, therefore we dug a financial hole that took our company years to get out of.
