7. STRENGTHS
• Good range of products in product line
• Financially Stable
• In-House production capabilities
• Reputation of manufacturing best value
products for customers.
• Cost advantage of 10-20% lower margin.
8. WEAKNESSES
• Less market penetration in industrial segment
• Dependency on distributor for sales and
services
• Distributor unable to manage Industry
segment demand.
• No Warehouses of its own
9. OPPORTUNITIES
• China is the rising star in the global arena,
huge potential to raise revenues as well as
profits
• High growth in industrial segment – about
20% annually for next 5 years
10. THREATS
• Growing power of distributors
• Losing any of the distributors
• Presence of large local manufacturer having
strong political connections in area
11. GOALS OF GINO CHINA
• ACHIEVE ANNUAL SALES OF 15000 UNITS
INCLUDING ATLEAST 200 INDUSTRIAL ONES
• DEVELOPING MINIMUM 2 OEM ACCOUNTS
AND MORE DISTRIBUTORS
• IMPROVE SERVICE AND SPARE SUPPLY
12. SITUATION
EITHER ACCEPT FEIMA’S OFFER AS AN
OEM(ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT
MANUFACTURER) CUSTOMER AND MOVE
TOWARDS ITS GOAL BUT IT CAN HAMPER
THE RELATIONSHIP WITH ITS LARGEST
DISTRIBUTOR, JINGHUA
OR
REJECT FEIMA’S OFFER AND CONTINUE ITS
EXISTING RELATIONSHIP WITH ITS
DISTRIBUTORS
13. AIMS FROM THE SITUATION
• Resolve the existing conflict in a possible win-
win situation for both parties
• Control the distributers bargaining power
• Penetrate into high growing and high margin
Industrial segment of burners
• Increase Revenue and Profitability
14. HOW TO SALVAGE THE SITUATION?
WE CONSIDER 2 ALTERNATIVES
15. ALTERNATIVE 1
GINO REJECTS FEIMA’S PROPOSAL AND
MAINTAINS ITS STRONG RELATIONSHIP WITH
DISTRIBUTORS AS IT CANNOT AFFORD TO
LOSE ANY DISTRIBUTOR. BUT GINO RISKS
LOSING FEIMA AS A CUSTOMER.
16. ALTERNATIVE 2
GINO SIGNS OEM CONTRACT WITH FEIMA
FOR INDUSTRIAL SEGMENT ONLY WITH 10%
ADDITIONAL MARGIN AND PUSH JINGHUA
FOR 10% DISCOUNT ON FEIMA’S
COMMERCIAL AND DOMESTIC BURNERS.

29. ALTERNATIVE 1
PROS
• STRENGTHENING OF TIES
BETWEEN MANUFACTURER
AND DISTRIBUTORS
CONS
• DISTRIBUTORS DICTATING
THE TERMS
• OPPOSITE TO GOAL OF
CREATING NEW OEM
CUSTOMERS
• REVENUE LOST FROM
POTENTIAL NEW ORDERS
• OPPORTUNITY COST IN
HIGH MARGIN INDUSTRIAL
SEGMENT
30. ALTERNATIVE 2
PROS
• STRATEGY IN LINE WITH GOAL
OF CREATING OEM ACCOUNTS
AND 200 INDUSTRIAL
BURNERS
• INCREASE IN REVENUE AND
PROFITS WITH PENETRATION
INTO INDUSTRIAL SEGMENT
• INVENTORY PROBLEMS WILL
ALSO BE LESS WITH
ESTABLISHMENT OF
WAREHOUSE
• JINGHUA ALSO MAKING MORE
REVENUES AND PROFITS
CONS
• GETTING DISTRIBUTORS ON
THEIR SIDE CAN BE A
TOUGH TASK DESPITE MORE
PROFITS
31. RECOMMENDATION
AS CAN BE SEEN FROM THE
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF GINO AND
JINGHUA AS WELL AS PROS AND
CONS OF BOTH ALTERNATIVES
ALTERNATIVE 2 IS RECOMMENDED
