- first in the vodite market - first to introduce a new product - first to withdraw a product - first to do major r&d
build a better mousetrap = we always tried to model the ideal values desiered by customers instead of trying to manipulate the product advertising the "GE" principal - jack welch “ show me the money” = contribution is everthing ...... dropped viki inventory in period X even though that was a major loss because our bottomline profit were increasing by upgrading the product end-game strategy......using feasiblity studies to lower base costs by the last period
small flowchart of the last three bullets split this slide into two - part 1 is the organization and part 2 is the process flow switch to the excel sheet after this slide
KISS – the most customers, the most profit graph of market share for SIRO and SIBI
VIKI and VITO VITO = Vito Corleone one graph with both products market shares
3 - spillover from other products (sibi, etc) into buffs segment .... so it is very difficult to get a lock on the segment 4 - inventory was a major dilemma ... team E was in the same situation later on the in the vodites

1 - predicting attribute evolution based not only on regression but also intuition 2 - if we want the outcome from r&d dept, we cant take risk with the investment 3 - we kept ahead in stock price because our r&d pipeline was always full 4 - multiple r&ds was major debate for our team 6 - for feasibility studies .... these studies helped us drop base costs by an extra 20-30%
1 - takes time to improve brand awareness 2 - advertising research budget was also important 3 - 4 - take advantage of the competetion's limited resources or pull-back
- VIKI pricing was both strategic and tactical - iPhone example - economies of scale = lower base cost does not mean immediate lower transfer cost - mention cost-based pricing for viki because we marked up - excess price cutting.... mention team A - semantic scaling to reduce price perception..... e.g. rebate, temporary promotion
