The non-disposable razor market is growing and becoming more segmented. Paramount currently holds the leading market share but its products are aging. Clean Edge is Paramount's new innovation, but it is currently in the introductory stage. There are arguments for both niche marketing Clean Edge to complement Paramount's portfolio versus mainstream marketing to make it the new leader. Economic analysis indicates niche marketing is preferable initially. The recommended brand name is Clean Edge by Paramount and the budget matches the niche marketing allocation of $15 million total.

emerging nokia - should they focus on developed or emerging marketsSaurabh Arora
Should Nokia’s growth strategy be to focus on the developed markets, emerging markets or both?
Case Analysis
Handset manufacturer worldwide market share of 38% in 2009
Market leader in emerging markets like India(60%) and China(40%)
Financial performance pre-2008 was exceptional
Known for innovation
Offers products at all price points
Post-2008 started losing ground in developed markets
European market revenue declined by 15% in 2009
Exited the Japanese market after 20 years of operations
Nokia was fifth most valuable brand globally in 2000
Analysis of Emerging Market
Employed the cost leadership strategy: Purchasing power low in emerging markets hence Nokia provided cost effective products successfully.
First time purchasers: Only 20% of the emerging market were not first time purchasers
Services as the key selling point: People of emerging markets wanted value added services bundled with the phone
Analysis of Developed markets
Consumers not very price sensitive
Delivering innovative products more important
57% of the market goes for a second phone, most of the time for an upgrade
Emergence of i-phone, considered as replacement for normal handsets with users looking for upgradation
Growing competition from companies like Samsung, LG, Motorola and Sony Ericson was also making things worse for Nokia.
New Operating System – e.g. – Emergence of OSs like Google’s Android and Microsoft’s Windows mobile further bothered Nokia.
Inability to understand demand – Nokia failed to understand growing demand for touch phones
Why focus on Emerging Markets?
As Nokia has already gained the following benefits by being the first mover, it should strive hard to maintain it’s market share in developing economies. Advantages it has –
Earlier entry, early start of the learning curve. Its crucial and experience is tough to imitate.
Nokia can develop enhanced reputation by being pioneer and using its already established brand image
Absolute cost advantage can be gained by early commitments to supplies of materials and distribution channels….
Recommendations- Emerging Market
Nokia should concentrate on Improved as well as Basic phones as the market is still evolving
Tie up with Telecom players and bring dual sim phones to increase the switching cost
It should follow innovations in developed countries and adapt them to emerging markets in order to stand against competition.
One general strategy should be to outsource the services part as it is not Nokia’s competency and customers are giving more regard to services (Exhibit 6)
Instead of charging customers for Life tools, revenues should be earned from advertisers.

Colgate palmolive company - the precision toothbrushOm Vaghasia
A case study of the marketing methods employed by Colgate-Palmolive Company in Positioning and Branding their Precision toothbrush and the Communication methods involved.
Executive Summary
Toothbrush is currently one of the most promising categories and Colgate has proven to be a market leader with its products, Classic in value segment and Plus in professional. Increasing concern over oral hygiene amongst consumers resulted in a superior and premium grade of toothbrush that entirely focuses on improving brushing experience and oral health
Users are making transition towards higher value toothbrushes (super premium), due to the increased awareness of oral hygiene. Research suggests that majority of the consumers are more concerned about their oral health than ever and all the major brands like Oral B, Johnson & Johnson and Proctor and Gamble have either launched or in the process to launch a product in this segment
Colgate Palmolive is expected to lose it’s market share by almost 4% in 1993 and 3% in 1994, as it faces tough competition from major oral care competitors. If we don’t extend our toothbrush portfolio to include a super premium toothbrush, we are expected to lose our foothold in the toothbrush category
Our oral care division decided to launch a technological innovative product, that would meet the current market demand to cater premium brush users called “Precision”. If executed right, Precision will ensure a 5% growth in overall market share and maintain Colgate’s position as a market leader in the industry
With an investment of $14 million towards media advertisement and almost $7.6 million towards production, launching Precision as a mainstream product would result in NPV of $11 million and an IRR of 129%

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

1. What changes are occurring in non-disposable razor
categories? Assess paramount's competitive position .What
are strategic lifecycle challenges for paramount's current
products as well as for clean edge?
The following changes are occurring in non-disposable razor
categories:
The growth in this category has increased by 5% per year from the
year 2007-2010
There are new innovations and new products introduction in this
market
The retail sales has increased from 178$ in 2005 to 218$ in 2010
The major growth in this category in last decade was in super
premium segment
The retail sales growth has increased in moderate segment currently
22 new stock keeping units are being introduced between the year
2008 and 2009
Total media advertising expenditure on this category has also risen
by 4.5 % in a year (the major player being Benet &Klein )
Shelf space in the distribution outlets for the product category has
also increased
The sale of mass merchandiser has increased by 10.5% in the period
of 3 years and food and drug stores has decreased on an average of
7.3%
Inter purchase interval is shortening
Paramount's competitive position in this industry is:
2. Paramount is a global consumer product giant with $13 billion
worldwide sales and $7 billion in gross profits in the year 2009
There are three multinational players in the non-disposable razors
and refill cartridge market - Paramount, Benet &Klein and Prince. The
new entrants are Radiance and Simpson
Paramount pro and avail has allowed paramount to capture the unit
volume market leader position in 2009 with 23.3 %retail unit share
There are basically three consumer segments for non-disposable
razors -
1.Value-in this segment paramount is having a monopoly. there are no
direct competitors
2.Moderate-there is only one other brand vitric by B&K so both are
having 50-50 market share
3.Super premium -in this market there is huge competition but clean
edge is unique
Strategic lifecycle challenges are:
Paramount's existing products are - paramount pro and paramount
avail
Paramount pro is having increasing sales but there are no new
innovations in this category from the previous 5 years so it is on the
verge of decline
Paramount avail's sale is declining year by year so it has already
reached the final stage of product lifecycle
Clean edge is a unique product and is having an upper hand of being
one of its kind. But it is in the introduction stage so it will take some time
to earn profits
3. How is non-disposable razor market
segmented? Examine consumer behavior for
non-disposable razors.
Non disposable razor market is segmented into three based on price and
quality :value , moderate and super premium
Super premium segment is always in search of new innovative products
so there are new innovations in this field
Based on product benefit and consumer behavior it is further divided into
two categories - involved users and uninvolved users
Involved users are of further two types-social/emotional shavers (39%)
and aesthetic shavers (28%)
Uninvolved users are also called maintenance shavers (33%)
Involved razor users (social/ emotional shavers) differentiate among
products. Shaving is an essential of their daily routine and they are ready to
try new technology and innovative products. It helps them to look and feel
attractive and confident. they are motivated with overall shaving experience
Another category of involved razor users (aesthetic shavers) wants a
product that helps them to remove hair effectively. they desire to have a
smooth skin and shaving helps them to remove hair on a daily basis these
users are more interested in cosmetic results
The last category is maintenance shavers are completely disinterested in
product category. their shaving routine is inconsistent and wants to finish
shaving as quickly as possible
Consumers are purchasing razors and refills more frequently
Replacement cycle has shortened
4. Consumers are trying out new products(being the effect of excessive
advertisement )
What are the arguments for launching clean
edge as a niche product and a mainstream
brand?
Arguments in favor and against niche marketing of clean edge
Favor
Mainstream marketing will lead to cannibalization and eat up the market
of existing products of paramount
The technical features of clean edge can only be communicated to some
sophisticated users
Paramount pro is already a mainstream leader
Paramount is already having an edge in value and moderate segment so
niche marketing in only super premium segment will benefit more
Niche marketing will complement existing product portfolio perfectly
Easy to promote niche marketing
Against
It will lead to benefitting only a few customers
The existing products of paramount are already in declining stage if new
innovations are not introduced it will lead to losing existing customers
Arguments in favor and against mainstream marketing of clean edge
Favor
Clean edge is a technical innovation , being one of its kind
Introduction in mainstream will lead to leadership
5. Paramount pro is already old so clean edge will take its place
Based on your positioning strategy what brand
name and budget allocation would you advice?
The economic analysis of the clean edge production clearly gives an
indication that it is better to introduce the product in niche market (the
economic analysis is in the excel file)
The brand name can be clean edge by paramount the major emphasis
being on clean edge as it is a unique product to be launched first time in
the market so the brand name must also be unique
Paramount being an existing brand and a dominant player so using the
company's name in the brand will attract its existing loyal customers thus it
will enhance the sale of the product. the trust that the customers have in
existing paramount's product will ultimately shift to clean edge
As it is clear to introduce the product in niche market so the budget
allocation must be as per exhibit 7 that is $15 million in total marketing
expenditure and $14.72 million for production of razors and cartridges and
$0.61 million for capacity cost
