4. Answer 4 :
•CDS had several partnerships with the Italian design houses, and
they are most successful companies of Italian design. So they got
the patent of their design so their manufacturing department
made the same design. and they were able to translate the
most difficult technical design into manufectureable & stable
products.
•This type of collaboration involved CDS taking responsibility for
the whole category of plastic home wares for a large
supermarket group. And the product ranges supplied were not
particularly adventurous in their design or colors but most were
clearly in the “CONCEPT” style and often carried the concept
brand.
•CDS had a good marketing capabilities but they have to design
new products aspect from the only kitchen appliances like they
have to come up into the furniture & another designing field so
maybe they can get more effect on market & make profit also.
5. CDS have a good design in the kitchen appliances. And it was a
one of the best company of kitchen appliance at that time. In the
case an example was given by Linda Fleet is that,
› In the paint texture design is a very popular in the world and its
make profit for that company. But the same design is not
growing more then 2 year. So they have to do some
innovations in the design to growth in the sales.
› So, as per the example I says that CDS have a great design in
the kitchen appliances but they have make consist change in
design with the innovative idea. this change will help them to
continue its growth in sales & profit.
