Its good we know that. However, we cant afford to lower the price to the level consumers expect. We have to make it a little bit lower so as to be attractive for them but
profitable enough for us.
>3
It will be lucky indeed if we prepare its launch carefully. I suppose you have finished
the market research, havent you?
>4
Yes. We have collected enough information. Most of it has already been analysed
and we have determined the size of the potential market. As market segmentation
shows, there is a large group of consumers looking for new types of cassette decks.
They have almost unanimously complained that famous manufacturers as Nakamichi,
Tandberg and Revox overprice their products. So, its clear, theyre looking for products
at reasonable affordable prices.
>2
Yes, thats exactly what we need. It seems that our NV5 deck was born on a lucky day.
>6
Absolutely. At least, for the beginning. Later on, as demand increases, the price may
go up slightly and be maintained at an acceptable high level to make it more profitable
than other products of ours. Meanwhile, the sales people will maintain a permanent
contact with customers trying to find out their reactions to the new deck.
>1
As you know, cassette decks are again in demand as the music industry is working
hard to stop Internet-MP3 trading and all forms of digital copying.

We regret we were unable to send you a cheque to settle our account for the

We will try to clear your invoice within the next few weeks. Meanwhile, the enclosed cheque for USD 200.00 is part payment on account.

Dear Mr Mackenzie,
Thank you for your letter explaining why you cannot clear your account for

I certainly appreciate your difficulty but we ourselves have to pay our own suppliers and, therefore, must insist on payment within the next ten days.
We look forward to receiving your remittance.

PARTEA ~NTI
~n una dintre cele mai citite reviste economice din Statele Unite ale Americii a ap\rut urm\
torul articol referitor la situa]ia economic\ dificil\ `n care se afl\ renumita firm\ de desfacere
de confec]ii ROYAL Ltd.:
Possible bankruptcy? Royal Company faces uncertain future
Un alt simbol
indic articolele
specifice massmediei cu profil
economic.
On Wednesday, Royal Ltd. will announce its annual results for this year. Once
again, profits are expected to be low.
Royal built its first store in 1967. It now owns ten stores in the western region of
the United States. All the stores are on prime sites in the high streets of major cities.
The companys head office is in San Francisco.
Recently, Royals performance has been disappointing. Today, Royals share
price fall under $ 7 in anticipation of the results. Two or three years ago, the share
price stood at $ 10 and pre-tax profits had fallen to $ 8.3m on a turnover of $ 225m.
Similarly, profits are expected to be down yet again this year. The companys profits
are expected to be around $ 6m.
One of the companys biggest problems is that it lacks a clear image. Some of their
customers seem to prefer other stores to the Royals. Royal is facing fierce competition from Lenson and Dox Brothers. Another of Royals disadvantages is that its
merchandise does not particularly appeal to younger buyers. And we think that rising
costs have been the main cause of Royals low profits. Also, in an important economic
broadcast, a famous economist said that a lot of companies were conservative and
not used to showing social responsibility, that means to protect the environment, to
offer work opportunities and appropriate sales per employee etc. and he mentioned
Royal Ltd among other companies as an illustration.
In contrast, the competitors marketing is more aggressive and effective. They often
cut prices and even offer goods at give-away prices to get people into their stores.
Their stores attract people of all ages and from all income groups. Their image make us
think of profitable organizations. Moreover, they advertise heavily in local newspapers
and television. Their share price stands at almost $ 12 their highest rating this year.
In order to compete more effectively, Royal changed its business strategy about
eighteen months ago. First, it rented space to other firms on a concessionary basis.
Unfortunately, this strategy has not been too successful. Several firms that have rented
space from Royal complained that their sales have fallen. Afterwards, Royals stores
were redecorated. This facelift has met with mixed reactions from its customers. The
layout of the stores continues to create confusion to the customers. The clients have
also complained that departments are not grouped together in a logical manner. As
a result, shoppers get tired looking out for the goods they want.
To conclude, at present it looks very much as if Royal has lost its dynamism and
sense of purpose. Investors holding shares in the company might well be advised to
sell. Unless Royals management takes action soon to revive the company, then its
future seems to be uncertain. Could we speak about a possible bankruptcy?
