Threadless
Case study of innovation at Threadless. Combined with giveaways to the audience of popular Threadless designs throughout the presentation, and ended with an activity where everyone wrote down ways they could "be awesome" in their work.
Threadless + crowdsourcing
Threadless.com is an online t-shirt design community that crowdsources designs from over 100,000 designers. [1] Over 150,000 designs are submitted each year, with about 10 shirts selected weekly for production and sale. [2] Threadless involves the community in every step, from voting on designs to providing feedback, and has generated over $30 million in annual sales. [3]
The key to Threadless' success is its strong community participation. It engages designers through challenges, recognition, and meetup groups, and buyers through voting, sharing, and recommendations. However, it must balance size, quality, and legitimacy to retain this community. Expansion opportunities also exist in new product categories
Dominion Motor Ltd
Dominion Motors faces a challenge from an engineering report that could reduce demand for their motors. Their alternatives are to lower prices on a larger motor, reengineer smaller motors to higher torque, or build a new smaller motor. Building a new 5 HP motor allows them to be prepared if the report is accepted while avoiding actions that acknowledge the report prematurely. They will also lobby regulators and the engineer conducting the report to delay its impact and independently verify its findings.
The newyork times paywall case solution - Shubham Parsekar - PGDM
The document discusses the paywall system adopted by The New York Times, which allows up to 20 free articles per month before requiring a subscription fee. As print revenue declined due to the shift to digital, online advertising was not sufficient to replace the lost income. The Times had to decide between a "leaky paywall" that allows some free access or a "bulletproof paywall" with no free access. It was determined that a leaky paywall would be better initially to attract more subscribers and generate website traffic through social media. Both print and online newspapers are needed, as online versions are more convenient for today's mobile lifestyles.

Sport Obermeyer Case Study
Challenges
Inaccurate forecasts of retailer demand has become a major issue at Obermeyer. The two major factors that made this task more difficult was the increase in product variety and intense competition in market. Second challenge the company had faced was to allocate production between Hong Kong and China. Although Obermeyer had 1/3 of Parka production in China for 1992, this year the organization insisted on increasing the sales to half. There was difference in quality and labor rate at China and Hong Kong which made allocation decision more difficult.
Another challenge the company faced was the larger lead time. The company had supplies of raw materials from various countries which resulted in delayed production time. Organization challenges along with competition from competitor companies were major challenges the company had faced.
Analysis
From the sales predictions that the six managers forecasted, a coefficient of variation (COV) was determined, which indicated the level of spread of the forecasted data. The COV values were broadly divided into two levels, the low risk group and the high risk group. Every value below 0.2 were considered to be among the lower risk items and all the items above COV value of 0.2 were considered to be of higher risks. Once the risk levels of each item were determined, the quantities of items to be produced in first and second production cycles could be calculated with least risk. 70% of the entire sales forecast for the lower risk items were ordered to be produced. Only 30% of higher risk items were ordered to be produced in the first production cycle. The quantities which amounted to 1200 were manufactured in China and that which were close to 600, were manufactured in Hong Kong in the first production cycle.
Once the 80% of the orders were received from the retailers from the Vegas show, a clear picture of the demand forecast could be obtained, according to which the rest of the items could be manufactured either in China or Hong Kong. Referring to exhibit 1, the four products to be produced in China in the first production cycle are: Assault, Seduced, Entice and Electra. These four products have COV less than 0.2. However Gail, Daphne, ISIS, Anita, Teri, Stephanie are produced in Hong Kong for the first production cycle as they have a high level of risk associated with it.
Conclusion
Short term operational changes
o Decrease lead time by obtaining raw materials from geographically closer locations to ensure timely delivery
Long term operational changes
o Cross scaling Chinese labors which would help the company produce quality and reliable goods at a cheaper price

Cooper Pharmaceuticals abruptly terminated Bob Marsh after 12 years as a drug sales representative in Toledo. Customers are complaining about the decision. Marsh had a history of strong customer relationships but poor record keeping and disorganization. While earlier managers acknowledged his strengths, later ones focused more on weaknesses in performance reviews. The frequent changing of sales managers and lack of career development or enrichment for Marsh contributed to his disengagement. Terminating such a loyal employee with good customer relationships was too harsh a decision without addressing his motivational needs or trying other options.
