Mobair Case Study

Letter to Shareholders

Basma, Raseel and Sara are pleased to report that your firm MobAir is the one of the world’s top 3 leading cell phone providers. With the highest revenue as well as market share. MobAir’s success can be attributed to its focus strategy through concentrating on a narrow products line segment to attain a cost advantage and features differentiation.

This was evidence in round 5, where profits reached a negative number. As a result, demand was spread over (6 of teams) leading to weak industry wide demand.

Although having large production capacity is a liability during times of weak demand, such as the ones characterizing the current market, it becomes an advantage during times of strong demand.
