When deciding the optimum solution, Classic Airlines must understand what their goals are, what their end state vision

External and internal marketing programs have not been able to satisfy the needs and wants of the stakeholders. Target customers are looking at the services offered by other airlines to satisfy their wants and needs. This has resulted in poor sales and reduced profits for the company. The marketing plan of a firm “helps the firm connect with its customers” (Kerin et al., 2006). Therefore, Classic Airlines wants to develop an effective plan of action that will not only help attract and retain customers, but also boost sales and profits. The Situation Issue and Opportunity Identification Classic Airlines is a 25 year old company that commands a fleet of more than 375 jets that serve 240 cities with more than 2300 daily flights. The company is facing numerous challenges because of rising costs and lack of innovation. Customers are not satisfied with the service they are receiving and management cannot agree on how to correct the issues. A manager at Classic Airlines expresses, “Your challenge is going to be rising above our competition without discounting airfare” (Case Study, 2008). The company will have to figure out strategies to overcome the challenges. Challenges Identification Classic Airlines must address the challenges the company is facing. The company is experiencing a decrease in stock prices. Employee morale is low because of finger pointing and lack of unity. The case study states that “loyal customers were jumping ship and the ones still aboard seemed to be flying less frequently” (Case Study, 2008). The senior vice president of customer service explains that “customers have no voice” which is a major challenge for the company. Classic Airlines and many of its rivals expanded too quickly (Case Study, 2008). The case study mentions that the CEO and CFO focus on numbers and less on marketing. Membership in classic rewards is down nearly 20% and the average number of flights per member is down more than 20%. The company recently mandated a 15% across the board cost reduction over the next 18 months which is also a major challenge for all departments. “Changes in the marketing environment are a source of opportunities and threats to be managed. The process of continually acquiring information on events occurring outside the organization toidentify and interpret potential trends is called environmental scanning” (Kerin et al., 2006).Environmental scanning will help the company progress A technique for marketing research is to utilize the 5step marketing research approach which encompasses the following steps: Define the problem Develop the research plan Collect relevant information by specifying Develop findings Take marketing actions The final objective of the company is to become the largest airline provider. A SWOT analysis identified several opportunities Answer the following question. Q1. Discuss different opportunity for Classic Airlines Q2. When deciding the optimum solution, Classic Airlines must understand what their goals are, what their end state vision is, and also what challenges they have faced with product development.

Assignment Solutions, Case study Answer sheets Project Report and Thesis contact aravind.banakar@gmail.com www.mbacasestudyanswers.com ARAVIND – 09901366442 – 09902787224 Marketing Management CASE STUDY (20 Marks) The very first major move which Paul S. Otellini took, after becoming the new CEO of Intel Corporation, was changing the company's 16yearold logo. The change was not only in the tag line but also in the famous Intel's "droppede" corporate logo. The company was the market leader in its microprocessor segment and the famous tag line, 'Intel inside', was closely associated with its success. A sudden shift from its year old and well known corporate logo to a new one, was quite unlikely Intel. Moreover, the company was planning to diversify to other businesses, apart from its core PC segment, thus, decided to change from 'Intel Inside' to 'Leap Ahead'. There were many instances where companies had changed their corporate logos and also succeeded in maintaining their images in the market. This case allows room for discussing whether Intel has made the right move or not. Answer the following question. Q1. Discuss the new marketing initiatives taken by Intel. Q2. Debate on whether this initiative would help Intel to succeed in future.

The Barbie brand accounts for almost onethird of Mattel's $5.2 billion annual revenue. The Barbie doll has dominated the global toy market for more than 40 years. But in recent years, its status as queen of the toy cupboard is under threat. Mattel's financial results highlighted her plight with the gross worldwide sales of Barbie falling by 13 % in the second quarter of 2006. Little girls no longer view her as cool and trendy. Mattel decided to reinvigorate the Barbie brand, focusing on core markets, aligning more effectively with growing retail customers by entering into closer partnerships with them, investing in developing markets, and growing alternative saleschannels. Mattel has decided to concentrate on three aspects – product, brand building and distribution channel. It has extended Barbie to animation movies, launched interactive web sites, and developed new products to appeal to teens and preteens. The case discusses the challenges faced by Barbie; it traces the initiatives taken by Mattel over the years to extend Barbie's product life cycle; and debates over Mattel's current strategy for Barbie. Answer the following question. Q1. Discuss the challenges faced by Barbie in maintaining its brand image.
