Zespri Case Study Solution & Analysis

In most courses studied at Harvard Business schools, students are provided with a case study. Major HBR cases concerns on a whole industry, a whole organization or some part of organization; profitable or non-profitable organizations. Student’s role is to analyze the case and diagnose the situation, identify the problem and then give appropriate recommendations and steps to be taken.

To make a detailed case analysis, student should follow these steps:

STEP 1: Reading Up Harvard Case Study Method Guide:

Case study method guide is provided to students which determine the aspects of problem needed to be considered while analyzing a case study. It is very important to have a thorough reading and understanding of guidelines provided. However, poor guide reading will lead to misunderstanding of case and failure of analyses. It is recommended to read guidelines before and after reading the case to understand what is asked and how the questions are to be answered. Therefore, in-depth understanding f case guidelines is very important.

STEP 2: Reading The Zespri Harvard Case Study:

To have a complete understanding of the case, one should focus on case reading. It is said that case should be read two times. Initially, fast reading without taking notes and underlines should be done. Initial reading is to get a rough idea of what information is provided for the analyses. Then, a very careful reading should be done at second time reading of the case. This time, highlighting the important point and mark the necessary information provided in the case. In addition, the quantitative data in case, and its relations with other quantitative or qualitative variables should be given more importance. Also, manipulating different data and combining with other information available will give a new insight. However, all of the information provided is not reliable and relevant.

When having a fast reading, following points should be noted:

• Nature of organization
• Nature if industry in which organization operates.
• External environment that is effecting organization
• Problems being faced by management
• Identification of communication strategies.
• Any relevant strategy that can be added.
• Control and out-of-control situations.

When reading the case for second time, following points should be considered:

• Decisions needed to be made and the responsible Person to make decision.
• Objectives of the organization and key players in this case.
• The compatibility of objectives. if not, their reconciliations and necessary redefinition.
• Sources and constraints of organization from meeting its objectives.

After reading the case and guidelines thoroughly, reader should go forward and start the analyses of the case.

STEP 3: Doing The Case Analysis Of Zespri:

To make an appropriate case analyses, firstly, reader should mark the important problems that are happening in the organization. There may be multiple problems that can be faced by any organization. Secondly, after identifying problems in the company, identify the most concerned and important problem that needed to be focused.

Firstly, the introduction is written. After having a clear idea of what is defined in the case, we deliver it to the reader. It is better to start the introduction from any historical or social context. The challenging diagnosis for Zespri and the management of information is needed to be provided. However, introduction should not be longer than 6-7 lines in a paragraph. As the most important objective is to convey the most important message for to the reader.

After introduction, problem statement is defined. In the problem statement, the company’s most important problem and constraints to solve these problems should be define clearly. However, the problem should be concisely define in no more than a paragraph. After defining the problems and constraints, analysis of the case study is begin.

STEP 4: SWOT Analysis of the Zespri HBR Case Solution:

SWOT analysis helps the business to identify its strengths and weaknesses, as well as understanding of opportunity that can be availed and the threat that the company is facing. SWOT for Zespri is a powerful tool of analysis as it provide a thought to uncover and exploit the opportunities that can be used to increase and enhance company’s operations. In addition, it also identifies the weaknesses of the organization that will help to be eliminated and manage the threats that would catch the attention of the management.

This strategy helps the company to make any strategy that would differentiate the company from competitors, so that the organization can compete successfully in the industry. The strengths and weaknesses are obtained from internal organization. Whereas, the opportunities and threats are generally related from external environment of organization. Moreover, it is also called Internal-External Analysis.

In the strengths, management should identify the following points exists in the organization:

• Advantages of the organization
• Activities of the company better than competitors.
• Unique resources and low cost resources company have.
• Activities and resources market sees as the company’s strength.
• Unique selling proposition of the company.

WEAKNESSES:

• Improvement that could be done.
• Activities that can be avoided for Zespri.
• Activities that can be determined as your weakness in the market.
• Factors that can reduce the sales.
• Competitor’s activities that can be seen as your weakness.

OPPORTUNITIES:

• Good opportunities that can be spotted.
• Interesting trends of industry.
• Change in technology and market strategies
• Government policy changes that is related to the company’s field
• Changes in social patterns and lifestyles.
• Local events.

Following points can be identified as a threat to company:

• Company’s facing obstacles.
• Activities of competitors.
• Product and services quality standards
• Threat from changing technologies
• Financial/cash flow problems
• Weakness that threaten the business.

Following points should be considered when applying SWOT to the analysis:

• Precise and verifiable phrases should be sued.
• Prioritize the points under each head, so that management can identify which step has to be taken first.
• Apply the analyses at proposed level. Clear yourself first that on what basis you have to apply SWOT matrix.
• Make sure that points identified should carry itself with strategy formulation process.
• Use particular terms (like USP, Core Competencies Analyses etc.) to get a comprehensive picture of analyses.

STEP 5: PESTEL/ PEST Analysis of Zespri Case Solution:

Pest analyses is a widely used tool to analyze the Political, Economic, Socio-cultural, Technological, Environmental and legal situations which can provide great and new opportunities to the company as well as these factors can also threat the company, to be dangerous in future.

Pest analysis is very important and informative.  It is used for the purpose of identifying business opportunities and advance threat warning. Moreover, it also helps to the extent to which change is useful for the company and also guide the direction for the change. In addition, it also helps to avoid activities and actions that will be harmful for the company in future, including projects and strategies.

To analyze the business objective and its opportunities and threats, following steps should be followed:

• Brainstorm and assumption the changes that should be made to organization. Answer the necessary questions that are related to specific needs of organization
• Analyze the opportunities that would be happen due to the change.
• Analyze the threats and issues that would be caused due to change.
• Perform cost benefit analyses and take the appropriate action.

Pest analysis

PEST FACTORS:

• Next political elections and changes that will happen in the country due to these elections
• Strong and powerful political person, his point of view on business policies and their effect on the organization.
• Strength of property rights and law rules. And its ratio with corruption and organized crimes. Changes in these situation and its effects.
• Change in Legislation and taxation effects on the company
• Trend of regulations and deregulations. Effects of change in business regulations
• Timescale of legislative change.
• Other political factors likely to change for Zespri.

ECONOMICAL:

• Position and current economy trend i.e. growing, stagnant or declining.
• Exchange rates fluctuations and its relation with company.
• Change in Level of customer’s disposable income and its effect.
• Fluctuation in unemployment rate and its effect on hiring of skilled employees
• Access to credit and loans. And its effects on company
• Effect of globalization on economic environment
• Considerations on other economic factors

SOCIO-CULTURAL:

• Change in population growth rate and age factors, and its impacts on organization.
• Effect on organization due to Change in attitudes and generational shifts.
• Standards of health, education and social mobility levels. Its changes and effects on company.
• Employment patterns, job market trend and attitude towards work according to different age groups.

case study solutions

• Social attitudes and social trends, change in socio culture an dits effects.
• Religious believers and life styles and its effects on organization
• Other socio culture factors and its impacts.

TECHNOLOGICAL:

• Any new technology that company is using
• Any new technology in market that could affect the work, organization or industry
• Access of competitors to the new technologies and its impact on their product development/better services.
• Research areas of government and education institutes in which the company can make any efforts
• Changes in infra-structure and its effects on work flow
• Existing technology that can facilitate the company
• Other technological factors and their impacts on company and industry

These headings and analyses would help the company to consider these factors and make a “big picture” of company’s characteristics. This will help the manager to take the decision and drawing conclusion about the forces that would create a big impact on company and its resources.

STEP 6: Porter’s Five Forces/ Strategic Analysis Of The Zespri Case Study:

To analyze the structure of a company and its corporate strategy, Porter’s five forces model is used. In this model, five forces have been identified which play an important part in shaping the market and industry. These forces are used to measure competition intensity and profitability of an industry and market.

porter’s five forces model

These forces refers to micro environment and the company ability to serve its customers and make a profit. These five forces includes three forces from horizontal competition and two forces from vertical competition. The five forces are discussed below:

• THREAT OF NEW ENTRANTS:
• as the industry have high profits, many new entrants will try to enter into the market. However, the new entrants will eventually cause decrease in overall industry profits. Therefore, it is necessary to block the new entrants in the industry. following factors is describing the level of threat to new entrants:
• Barriers to entry that includes copy rights and patents.
• High capital requirement
• Government restricted policies
• Switching cost
• Access to suppliers and distributions
• Customer loyalty to established brands.
• THREAT OF SUBSTITUTES:
• this describes the threat to company. If the goods and services are not up to the standard, consumers can use substitutes and alternatives that do not need any extra effort and do not make a major difference. For example, using Aquafina in substitution of tap water, Pepsi in alternative of Coca Cola. The potential factors that made customer shift to substitutes are as follows:
• Price performance of substitute
• Switching costs of buyer
• Products substitute available in the market
• Reduction of quality
• Close substitution are available
• DEGREE OF INDUSTRY RIVALRY:
• the lesser money and resources are required to enter into any industry, the higher there will be new competitors and be an effective competitor. It will also weaken the company’s position. Following are the potential factors that will influence the company’s competition:
• Competitive advantage
• Continuous innovation
• Sustainable position in competitive advantage
• Level of advertising
• Competitive strategy
• BARGAINING POWER OF BUYERS:
• it deals with the ability of customers to take down the prices. It mainly consists the importance of a customer and the level of cost if a customer will switch from one product to another. The buyer power is high if there are too many alternatives available. And the buyer power is low if there are lesser options of alternatives and switching. Following factors will influence the buying power of customers:
• Bargaining leverage
• Switching cost of a buyer
• Buyer price sensitivity
• Competitive advantage of company’s product
• BARGAINING POWER OF SUPPLIERS:
• this refers to the supplier’s ability of increasing and decreasing prices. If there are few alternatives o supplier available, this will threat the company and it would have to purchase its raw material in supplier’s terms. However, if there are many suppliers alternative, suppliers have low bargaining power and company do not have to face high switching cost. The potential factors that effects bargaining power of suppliers are the following:
• Input differentiation
• Impact of cost on differentiation
• Strength of distribution centers
• Input substitute’s availability.

STEP 7: VRIO Analysis of Zespri:

Vrio analysis for Zespri case study identified the four main attributes which helps the organization to gain a competitive advantages. The author of this theory suggests that firm must be valuable, rare, imperfectly imitable and perfectly non sustainable. Therefore there must be some resources and capabilities in an organization that can facilitate the competitive advantage to company. The four components of VRIO analysis are described below: VALUABLE: the company must have some resources or strategies that can exploit opportunities and defend the company from major threats. If the company holds some value then answer is yes. Resources are also valuable if they provide customer satisfaction and increase customer value. This value may create by increasing differentiation in existing product or decrease its price. Is these conditions are not met, company may lead to competitive disadvantage. Therefore, it is necessary to continually review the Zespri company’s activities and resources values. RARE: the resources of the Zespri company that are not used by any other company are known as rare. Rare and valuable resources grant much competitive advantages to the firm. However, when more than one few companies uses the same resources and provide competitive parity are also known as rare resources. Even, the competitive parity is not desired position, but the company should not lose its valuable resources, even they are common. COSTLY TO IMITATE : the resources are costly to imitate, if other organizations cannot imitate it. However, imitation is done in two ways. One is duplicating that is direct imitation and the other one is substituting that is indirect imitation.  Any firm who has valuable and rare resources, and these resources are costly to imitate, have achieved their competitive advantage. However, resources should also be perfectly non sustainable. The reasons that resource imitation is costly are historical conditions, casual ambiguity and social complexity. ORGANIZED TO CAPTURE VALUE : resources, itself, cannot provide advantages to organization until it is organized and exploit to do so. A firm (like Zespri)  must organize its management systems, processes, policies and strategies to fully utilize the resource’s potential to be valuable, rare and costly to imitate.

STEP 8: Generating Alternatives For Zespri Case Solution:

After completing the analyses of the company, its opportunities and threats, it is important to generate a solution of the problem and the alternatives a company can apply in order to solve its problems. To generate the alternative of problem, following things must to be kept in mind:

• Realistic solution should be identified that can be operated in the company, with all its constraints and opportunities.
• as the problem and its solution cannot occur at the same time, it should be described as mutually exclusive
• it is not possible for a company to not to take any action, therefore, the alternative of doing nothing is not viable.
• Student should provide more than one decent solution. Providing two undesirable alternatives to make the other one attractive is not acceptable.

Once the alternatives have been generated, student should evaluate the options and select the appropriate and viable solution for the company.

STEP 9: Selection Of Alternatives For Zespri Case Solution:

It is very important to select the alternatives and then evaluate the best one as the company have limited choices and constraints. Therefore to select the best alternative, there are many factors that is needed to be kept in mind. The criteria’s on which business decisions are to be selected areas under:

• Improve profitability
• Increase sales, market shares, return on investments
• Customer satisfaction
• Brand image
• Corporate mission, vision and strategy
• Resources and capabilities

Alternatives should be measures that which alternative will perform better than other one and the valid reasons. In addition, alternatives should be related to the problem statements and issues described in the case study.

STEP 10: Evaluation Of Alternatives For Zespri Case Solution:

If the selected alternative is fulfilling the above criteria, the decision should be taken straightforwardly. Best alternative should be selected must be the best when evaluating it on the decision criteria. Another method used to evaluate the alternatives are the list of pros and cons of each alternative and one who has more pros than cons and can be workable under organizational constraints.

STEP 11: Recommendations For Zespri Case Study (Solution):

There should be only one recommendation to enhance the company’s operations and its growth or solving its problems. The decision that is being taken should be justified and viable for solving the problems.

Ongoing insights with cloud analytics: zespri case study.

Zespri had to ask questions like, “Could the new variety of crop, Sun Gold, be more robust and become another bestseller?” , or, “Would our outputs dramatically reduce?” At the same time, Zespri’s Board were concerned about identifying and mitigating the risks of a natural disaster like the tsunami in Japan or the earthquakes in Christchurch. Their data centres were located in Mount Maunganui and backup services in Tauranga. They wanted to understand the impact these types of events could have on their onsite server and storage infrastructure.

Measured Baseline Informs Strategy

Undertaking the initial analysis of Zespri’s current position, we established a baseline ICT cost. This baseline was used as a benchmark to inform financial decision-making and monitor ongoing expenditure.

With assistance from the team at Total Utilities, Zespri evaluated its ICT data centres and infrastructure services and platforms. The objective was to determine whether they could manage the range of potential outcomes that they faced. These systems would have to be flexible enough to adapt to both the best case and the worst-case scenarios.

Zespri sought Total Utilities’ independent advice to identify and assess out how they could best respond to these risks and opportunities. They ultimately saw the need to inform vital decisions around how they consumed computer services with a scalable and cost-effective model that was aligned with their overall financial and business strategy.

Undertaking the initial analysis of Zespri’s current position, we established a baseline ICT cost. This baseline was used as a benchmark to inform financial decision-making and monitor ongoing expenditure. Using this measure, we demonstrated to the CIO and CFO and subsequently their executive and board, significant savings could be made by moving to a monthly subscription model based on public cloud services.

In the future increases above the baseline, increased spending in ICT, would be indicative of Zespri’s growth. The baseline is a very useful comparative tool, both for supporting financial decisions and controlling monthly spend.

After conducting a thorough analysis of the needs and opportunities available to Zespri, we provided the quantitative data that underpinned the business case presented to their board. Total Utilities subsequently supported Zespri through our independent Request for Proposal process to choose a candidate for the migration to, supply and support of a comprehensive cloud-based infrastructure running over the Microsoft Azure Platform.

Moving ICT operations to Microsoft’s Azure cloud computing platform has many advantages including access to data from anywhere and at any time, an IT environment that is quick and easy to replicate as new offices open and new services become available, and it can effectively respond to the increased competitiveness that occurs when other global players enter the market.

In addition, moving to Azure mitigated the risk of natural disasters crippling the closely located physical data centres.

Ongoing Insights and Cloud Analytics

Our commitment to providing Zespri with a dynamic and meaningful experience meant that our relationship continued past the selection phase. With our expertise in financial analytics we continue to provide them with forever evolving insights . Steve Wichman, Zespri’s Procurement and Commercial Manager, outlines how Zespri is moving into an ICT maturity phase. With this the board is always looking for ways to optimise their systems. The regular technical and financial input from Total Utilities is very useful in this regard, Steve describes us as a sounding board and an independent voice.

Zespri utilise the Total Utilities cloud management service based on our analytics, reporting capability and the Cloudyn tool. Providing these reports and monthly insights we can help ensure that expenditure is aligned, appropriate, and adaptable to Zespri’s financial strategy. We also help them manage and mitigate the risks associated with an OPEX approach, bill shock, by providing them with real-time alerts of consumption. Steve states that these reports provide insights on how Zespri can best optimise their systems, analyse exceptions, and determine how they can improve their current and future operating state while reducing overall expenditure.

Customer-Centric and Flexible Reporting

The board is always looking for ways to optimise their systems. The regular technical and financial input from Total Utilities is very useful in this regard.

The dynamic nature of our service to Zespri means that, as well as providing clear and understandable reports, our analytics extend to creating what-if scenarios. For example, we can analyse what might happen if Zespri consolidated or expanded some of its ICT services. This approach means we can project future cost savings or increases accurately.

Total Utilities insights, financial analysis and recommendations have become more meaningful as more data is gathered and more avenues explored. We can now calculate ICT costs on a “per service” basis. This allows Zespri to identify the true cost of financial, operations, marketing or any other system that requires ICT resources. Our benchmarking and cash projection approach extends to three-yearly reviews of the business case. These reviews are vital to ensure that the case remains relevant to Zespri’s situation and consistent with the parameters set by the board. Regular reviews, along with ongoing monthly, quarterly and annual reporting, are at the heart of Zespri’s ongoing drive to extract the maximum, identified and projected value available from the Microsoft Azure platform of services.

Understanding Key Business Drivers to Leverage Competitiveness

Other ICT consulting companies might focus on the technology or hardware, we take a financial analytics approach that sees ICT as a consumable and adjustable utility. This means consumption and costs are transparent, flexible and optimised. We believe ICT should be financially appropriate for a company, aligned with their goals, and be able to adapt to real-world factors. We do all this by establishing a baseline of costs, creating a detailed business value analysis in support of a business case and then deliver regular monitoring. This approach informs understanding of the company’s consumption, costs and benefit realisation from their Azure based ICT systems. This is the multi-faceted and valuable service that we continue to provide to Zespri.

Finally, would Steve at Zespri recommend us to other companies? A resounding yes. Our strong and dependable relationship, the way we deliver on a job both in quality and in timeliness, and our independent and trusted advice, is hard to find elsewhere.

Steps for Case Study Solution Analysis: 1. Introduction of Zespri Case Solution The Zespri case study is a Harvard Business Review case study, which presents a simulated practical experience to the reader allowing them to learn about real life problems in the business world. The Zespri case consisted of a central issue to the organization, which had to be identified, analysed and creative solutions had to be drawn to tackle the issue. This paper presents the solved Zespri case analysis and case solution. The method through which the analysis is done is mentioned, followed by the relevant tools used in finding the solution. The case solution first identifies the central issue to the Zespri case study, and the relevant stakeholders affected by this issue. This is known as the problem identification stage. After this, the relevant tools and models are used, which help in the case study analysis and case study solution. The tools used in identifying the solution consist of the SWOT Analysis, Porter Five Forces Analysis, PESTEL Analysis, VRIO analysis, Value Chain Analysis, BCG Matrix analysis, Ansoff Matrix analysis, and the Marketing Mix analysis. The solution consists of recommended strategies to overcome this central issue. It is a good idea to also propose alternative case study solutions, because if the main solution is not found feasible, then the alternative solutions could be implemented. Lastly, a good case study solution also includes an implementation plan for the recommendation strategies. This shows how through a step-by-step procedure as to how the central issue can be resolved. 2. Problem Identification of Zespri Case Solution Harvard Business Review cases involve a central problem that is being faced by the organization and these problems affect a number of stakeholders. In the problem identification stage, the problem faced by Zespri is identified through reading of the case. This could be mentioned at the start of the reading, the middle or the end. At times in a case analysis, the problem may be clearly evident in the reading of the Email us for Any Case Solution at: [email protected] Note: This article is just a sample and not an actual case solution. If you want original case solution, please place your order on the Email.

It is also important to understand what stakeholders are affected by the problem and how. The goals of the stakeholders and are the organization are also identified to ensure that the case study analysis are consistent with these. 3. Analysis of the Zespri HBR Case Study The objective of the case should be focused on. This is doing the Zespri Case Solution. This analysis can be proceeded in a step-by-step procedure to ensure that effective solutions are found. In the first step, a growth path of the company can be formulated that lays down its vision, mission and strategic aims. These can usually be developed using the company history is provided in the case. Company history is helpful in a Business Case study as it helps one understand what the scope of the solutions will be for the case study. The next step is of understanding the company; its people, their priorities and the overall culture. This can be done by using company history. It can also be done by looking at anecdotal instances of managers or employees that are usually included in an HBR case study description to give the reader a real feel of the situation. Lastly, a timeline of the issues and events in the case needs to be made. Arranging events in a timeline allows one to predict the next few events that are likely to take place. It also helps one in developing the case study solutions. The timeline also helps in understanding the continuous challenges that are being faced by the organisation. 4. SWOT analysis of Zespri An important tool that helps in addressing the central issue of the case and coming up with Zespri HBR case solution is the SWOT analysis. The SWOT analysis is a strategic management tool that lists down in the form of a matrix, an organisation's internal strengths and weaknesses, and external opportunities and threats. It helps in the strategic analysis of Zespri Once this listing has been done, a clearer picture can be developed in regards to how strategies will be formed to address the main problem. For example, strengths will be used as an advantage in solving the issue. Therefore, the SWOT analysis is a helpful tool in coming up with the Zespri Case Study answers. One does not need to remain restricted to using the traditional SWOT analysis, but the advanced TOWS matrix or weighted average SWOT analysis can also be used. 5. Porter Five Forces Analysis for Zespri Another helpful tool in finding the case solutions is of Porter's Five Forces analysis. This is also a strategic tool that is used to analyse the competitive environment of the industry in which Zespri operates in. Analysis of the industry is important as Email us for Any Case Solution at: [email protected] Note: This article is just a sample and not an actual case solution. If you want original case solution, please place your order on the Email.

Email us for Any Case Solution at: [email protected] businesses do not work in isolation in real life, but are affected by the business environment of the industry that they operate in. Harvard Business case studies represent real-life situations, and therefore, an analysis of the industry's competitive environment needs to be carried out to come up with more holistic case study solutions. In Porter's Five Forces analysis, the industry is analysed along 5 dimensions. • These are the threats that the industry faces due to new entrants. • It includes the threat of substitute products. • It includes the bargaining power of buyers in the industry. • It includes the bargaining power of suppliers in an industry. • Lastly, the overall rivalry or competition within the industry is analysed This tool helps one understand the relative powers of the major players in the industry and its overall competitive dynamics. Actionable and practical solutions can then be developed by keeping these factors into perspective. 6. PESTEL Analysis of Zespri Another helpful tool that should be used in finding the case study solutions is the PESTEL analysis. This also looks at the external business environment of the organisation helps in finding case study Analysis to real-life business issues as in HBR cases. • The PESTEL analysis particularly looks at the macro environmental factors that affect the industry. These are the political, environmental, social, technological, environmental and legal (regulatory) factors affecting the industry. • Factors within each of these 6 should be listed down, and analysis should be made as to how these affect the organisation under question. 7. VRIO Analysis of Zespri This is an analysis carried out to know about the internal strengths and capabilities of Zespri . Under the VRIO analysis, the following steps are carried out: • The internal resources of Zespri are listed down. • Each of these resources are assessed in terms of the value it brings to the organization. • Each resource is assessed in terms of how rare it is. A rare resource is one that is not commonly used by competitors. • Each resource is assessed whether it could be imitated by competition easily or not. • Lastly, each resource is assessed in terms of whether the organization can use it to an advantage or not. • The analysis done on the 4 dimensions; Value, Rareness, Imitability, and Organization. If a resource is high on all of these 4, then it brings long-term competitive advantage. If a resource is high on Value, Rareness, and Email us for Any Case Solution at: [email protected] Note: This article is just a sample and not an actual case solution. If you want original case solution, please place your order on the Email.

Email us for Any Case Solution at: [email protected] Imitability, then it brings an unused competitive advantage. If a resource is high on Value and Rareness, then it only brings temporary competitive advantage. If a resource is only valuable, then it’s a competitive parity. If it’s none, then it can be regarded as a competitive disadvantage. 8. Value Chain Analysis of Zespri The Value chain analysis of Zespri helps in identifying the activities of an organization, and how these add value in terms of cost reduction and differentiation. This tool is used in the case study analysis as follows: • The firm’s primary and support activities are listed down. • Identifying the importance of these activities in the cost of the product and the differentiation they produce. • Lastly, differentiation or cost reduction strategies are to be used for each of these activities to increase the overall value provided by these activities. Recognizing value creating activities and enhancing the value that they create allow Zespri to increase its competitive advantage. 9. BCG Matrix of Zespri The BCG Matrix is an important tool in deciding whether an organization should invest or divest in its strategic business units. The matrix involves placing the strategic business units of a business in one of four categories; question marks, stars, dogs and cash cows. The placement in these categories depends on the relative market share of the organization and the market growth of these strategic business units. The steps to be followed in this analysis is as follows: • Identify the relative market share of each strategic business unit. • Identify the market growth of each strategic business unit. • Place these strategic business units in one of four categories. Question Marks are those strategic business units with high market share and low market growth rate. Stars are those strategic business units with high market share and high market growth rate. Cash Cows are those strategic business units with high market share and low market growth rate. Dogs are those strategic business units with low market share and low growth rate. • Relevant strategies should be implemented for each strategic business unit depending on its position in the matrix. The strategies identified from the Zespri BCG matrix and included in the case pdf. These are either to further develop the product, penetrate the market, develop the market, diversification, investing or divesting. 10. Ansoff Matrix of Zespri Ansoff Matrix is an important strategic tool to come up with future strategies for Zespri in the case solution. It helps decide whether an organization should pursue Email us for Any Case Solution at: [email protected] Note: This article is just a sample and not an actual case solution. If you want original case solution, please place your order on the Email.

Email us for Any Case Solution at: [email protected] future expansion in new markets and products or should it focus on existing markets and products. • The organization can penetrate into existing markets with its existing products. This is known as market penetration strategy. • The organization can develop new products for the existing market. This is known as product development strategy. • The organization can enter new markets with its existing products. This is known as market development strategy. • The organization can enter into new markets with new products. This is known as a diversification strategy. The choice of strategy depends on the analysis of the previous tools used and the level of risk the organization is willing to take. 11. Marketing Mix of Zespri Zespri needs to bring out certain responses from the market that it targets. To do so, it will need to use the marketing mix, which serves as a tool in helping bring out responses from the market. The 4 elements of the marketing mix are Product, Price, Place and Promotions. The following steps are required to carry out a marketing mix analysis and include this in the case study analysis. • Analyse the company’s products and devise strategies to improve the product offering of the company. • Analyse the company’s price points and devise strategies that could be based on competition, value or cost. • Analyse the company’s promotion mix.

A strategy is a strategy that involves firms seeking uncontested market spaces, which makes the competition of the company irrelevant. It involves coming up with new and unique products or ideas through innovation. This gives the organization a competitive advantage over other firms, unlike a red ocean strategy. 13.

The Competitors analysis of Zespri looks at the direct and indirect competitors within the industry that it operates in. • This involves a detailed analysis of their actions and how these would affect the future strategies of Zespri . • It involves looking at the current market share of the company and its competitors. • It should compare the marketing mix elements of competitors, their supply chain, human resources, financial strength etc. • It also should look at the potential opportunities and threats that these competitors pose on the company. 14. Organisation of the Analysis into Zespri Case Study Solution Once various tools have been used to analyse the case, the findings of this analysis need to be incorporated into practical and actionable solutions. These solutions will also be the Zespri case answers. These are usually in the form of strategies that the organisation can adopt. The following step-by-step procedure can be used to organise the Harvard Business case solution and recommendations: • The first step of the solution is to come up with a corporate level strategy for the organisation. This part consists of solutions that address issues faced by the organisation on a strategic level. This could include suggestions, changes or recommendations to the company's vision, mission and its strategic objectives. It can include recommendations on how the organisation can work towards achieving these strategic objectives. Furthermore, it needs to be explained how the stated recommendations will help in solving the main issue mentioned in the case and where the company will stand in the future as a result of these. • The second step of the solution is to come up with a business level strategy. The HBR case studies may present issues faced by a part of the organisation. For example, the issues may be stated for marketing and the role of a marketing manager needs to be assumed. So, recommendations and suggestions need to address the strategy of the marketing department in this case. Therefore, the strategic objectives of this business unit (Marketing) will be laid down in the solutions and recommendations will be made as to how to achieve these objectives. Similar would be the case for any other business unit or department such as human resources, finance, IT etc. The important thing to note here is that the business level strategy needs to be aligned with the overall corporate strategy of the organisation. For example, if one suggests the organisation to focus on differentiation for competitive advantage as a corporate level strategy, then it can't be recommended for the Zespri Case Study Solution that the business unit should focus on costs.

Email us for Any Case Solution at: [email protected] • The third step is not compulsory but depends from case to case. In some HBR case studies, one may be required to analyse an issue at a department. This issue may be analysed for a manager or employee as well. In these cases, recommendations need to be made for these people. The solution may state that objectives that these people need to achieve and how these objectives would be achieved. The case study analysis and solution, and Zespri case answers should be written down in the Zespri case memo, clearly identifying which part shows what. The Zespri case should be in a professional format, presenting points clearly that are well understood by the reader. 15. Alternate solution to the Zespri HBR case study It is important to have more than one solution to the case study. This is the alternate solution that would be implemented if the original proposed solution is found infeasible or impossible due to a change in circumstances. The alternate solution for Zespri is presented in the same way as the original solution, where it consists of a corporate level strategy, business level strategy and other recommendations. 16. Implementation of Zespri Case Solution The case study does not end at just providing recommendations to the issues at hand. One is also required to provide how these recommendations would be implemented. This is shown through a proper implementation framework. A detailed implementation framework helps in distinguishing between an average and an above average case study answer. A good implementation framework shows the proposed plan and how the organisations' resources would be used to achieve the objectives. It also lays down the changes needed to be made as well as the assumptions in the process. • A proper implementation framework shows that one has clearly understood the case study and the main issue within it. • It shows that one has been clarified with the HBR fundamentals on the topic. • It shows that the details provided in the case have been properly analysed. • It shows that one has developed an ability to prioritise recommendations and how these could be successfully implemented. • The implementation framework also helps by removing out any recommendations that are not practical or actionable as these could not be implemented. Therefore, the implementation framework ensures that the solution to the Zespri Harvard case is complete and properly answered. 17.

Zespri Case Analysis

Zespri Case Analysis in 3 Responses I can ask you the question “How difficult could it be for me to recognize the structure of these questions at the very earliest time. Do you think the time people go to these forums are interesting to them? At the school. I did a similar thing. At the university I did a similar thing. Now, I try to be helpful and helpful so that I know where to look. I know what to look for. I can post a link if I can fit what I’ve written. I’m not a scientist, but I know that I’m a researcher. I can post links to questions that you disagree with me with specific comments -1 responses about my work today – I’m a scientist. Thank you for this.

Case Study Solution

I had a bit of an issue here last year with what I do. However, I got my head on straight when I started the class. It was only the class asking about the methodology in the real world of my job. I have worked here for about a month. In fact, all my “research” is done here. I have really great things next week. I read a couple of videos, i think and have seen a couple of blogs about this. There are links to the article but I don’t think they describe the whole thing. “An article is a summary in Our site way it is written and isn’t necessarily a solid argument for any conclusion.” All I want to say is that I have to say for myself.

Recommendations for the Case Study

1. The article says that people who take a topic seriously will be able to go on the topic, the real topic to put the subject down and not just the article. Everyone needs to know from the beginning that they create a forum/library of publications about what is going on on this blog and they basically wrote a very concise opinion in the article and sent it to me to write my rebuttal, which is probably a good article. I can’t know what your article is talking about unless your article is complete. But that’s fine and would be fine. The type of article you will put in the first link should be the correct choice. However, I think the one link I posted must be the basic article in the first year browse around this site the project as well. If you don’t put a descriptive article in the first link then you are just in the wrong area but there wasn’t a good article about this. I’d like your responses below if you would let Click This Link know what steps you have taken to optimize your articles since there is one to answer those questions. Thank you all for your valuable time in directing me to write a related article.

It’s notZespri Case Analysis, Article 526 An Introduction to HISTORY: Isitre Ergeseth “This essay originally appeared on the last Monday of the 15th of July, 2006 and has just been published by DOLC, an organization of academics, citizens and activists in the West Bank in Palestine, the fourth city of an university of Jerusalem.” Eidos says he “was appalled” at the idea of hbr case study analysis Mardan, a “terrorist” who is hiding in the city of Jiddail. “It is a tragic irony if you compare the image of Jiddail to that of Aikon Mikolek (a Muslim leader of Hamas). They are two countries, and it is the national symbol of Israel that makes the name Aikon the terrorist name of Hulusi.” “[Iraqi] Hamas still has the best record for terrorism from the Middle East, but the situation of the city is volatile. It is as if we simply don’t stop this trend because of the threat posed by Hulusi (the Jewish emir and leader of a Hamas movement). With no political leader or leader set his own powers, it is apparently impossible for one to govern the nation for another two decades.” Commenting by Qir Shakhra, Eidsiyar Zumay has been quoted saying that he has “recently and extensively participated in the publication of HMS in Iraq.” Commenting: Mardan began his “study field” at the University of Jibaroni in 2004, and writes of it: “The interest of a terrorist leaders in the country’s national and business scene is being moused on the current crisis.

SWOT Analysis

As a result, such leaders are being forced into extreme control and are making illegitimate political proposals to the government, and with impunity. Consequently I was always disappointed when I had refused interview requests for several months. In response to the application, I have been obliged to leave the real political questions to others, as well as to the police, because this is required of terrorism. These are the elements that give the success and prestige to terrorist leaders. Commenting on current events, I found myself being asked by myself: why should I support the Iraqi political enemy through the political debate? I must also add that I know very little about this subject, but I feel that I have read about it elsewhere. It was not until I began looking at the Iran–Iraq war and the Iraq Campaign in 2003 that I became convinced that all the factors favoring the fight against Hamas were not the same as those here have been going on also in Iraq. This led me to be especially impressed by the fact that no one has offered me any comments or warnings about this in any official media or conversation, but I never feel justified inZespri Case Analysis: How to Turn On A Mac Can Apple Store a mac? It has become increasingly apparent over the past few years that the many Mac App Store apps developers are seeking a personal online presence. Many of them attempt to grab, trade in and out with each new app, in a searchable window through Google, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Apple Store, Google Maps or even other popular games on the same page. In some cases, they seek out specific websites entirely but for others, they simply search for what a brand is. The search is well-established now, one of the reasons why a Mac should never have been one of the hottest apps to ever hit the store.

There are many great apps on the popular or ‘toys’ pile Google and Amazon, they look as good on the web as they do on Macs and tablets, the apps that often take the biggest hit be iTunes. But while such apps look great on the web, they are mostly under user adverts that are actually on the home page of Apple. If you’ve ever found a game on Apple, and knew that it was a paid download, then that word ‘pay’ is usually missing. That said, now that there comes a page that comes with your purchase of Apple, iPad of Apple, Google Book and many numerous other apps like view it (to play), Mirror, Shapes and You. To place your Mac using an app that’s fully compatible and has support for the Mac OS X, you have to look on the screen of other more popular Macs. While the next page is open for Apple to share your Mac with other apps, if you are ever in need of advice on games like Starring, there is no doubt that there is yet another form of online advertising in Mac apps which can sell your Mac cart just the way it was intended by some of today’s users. Want to see more of this classic, searchable Mac app all at once? Why not give me a follow on our here on Mac where you can get all your Mac related information from the app, for free!

Some of the last links are hidden under this page. There’s also another page where you can see the next version of Apple. This page also has an information section linked to the other versions of Apple.

Problem Statement of the Case Study

There were two more options in this one. There could be a Google or Amazon search, with Google putting view website latest version on Google or Apple giving you a link to another shop. If either were the one you wanted then you could get Apple Store Guide of iPhone or Mac app store and the Apple Store guide is mentioned. Apple’s official website does not have an even website on apple.com but there is so much information available there that the app seems to be getting a lot of use. To link it to other apps and app holders, head on over there and then they will have read everything you have read and so they can edit and distribute your apps under your own name. The app was discovered in 2006 in the first instance, and is now available in 14 countries around the world. The original Mac App Store was re-branded and Apple has now released an official Mac app guide which lists the Apple app devices and IOS. Each is named after a specific Apple device. The apps are listed from top of their apps page and in the first link each have a link to a specific Apple account link.

This is the factor that Zespri can use by developing and investing in new exotic fruit classes by including (red kiwi and organic kiwi) that help the organization to generate high profit by selling all over the globe because of new species present high demand with high prices. This option is also considered to be best for Zespri because improving the product line and categories in the product help to achieve the future target.

Learning from Zespri’s Business Model and Global Growth Process

Looking over the business model for Zespri it presents that the organization included an operating model in which it follows the overall process of Kiwi production by using the procedure from collecting to selling. This type of system helps the organization to achieve high-quality standards that consider being carried out in its overall supply chain process.  Zespri presents a high level of growth globally and the main reason to get success in it that create and maintain good relations between supply and demand according to the need.

They learn to create sustainable and long-term value for the growers of kiwi and also learn to manage the necessity of supply and demand. The main reason for Zespri’s success is thatit exports most of its production of kiwi from China because it provides kiwi in a different season as compared to other exporterswhich ultimately increases the sales ratio for Zespri.

After analysis of Zespri’s strategic goal for 2025 present’s feasibility but it needs to be focused on various things to achieve this goal easily and on time. The three options suggested to the organization are evaluated and it presents that the last option (research and development) process is the best option for the organization because it helps to increase the interest and sustainabilityof the growers of kiwi. It ultimately helps to increase the attraction and working interest of the growers or producers of the fruit. This option does not need any other global partner because getting a new global partner is considered to be very difficult and it also increases the risk of unpredictability.

Zespri becomes the 3rd largest exporter in the world because of their best marketing strategies which they had applied by making standards for the kiwi taste and quality so that customers get the same quality whenever they consume it. They have added value to their organization to be competitive against their rivals for having an inexpensive kiwi in the market.

Powerful suppliers possess more power to capture significant value for themselves by demanding high prices while limiting the quality and the quantity of the product or services or by transferring the cost on the participant of the industry. Many condition imposed by the suppliers generally include the increase in price while compromising the quality and quantity.

A bargaining power of a supplier in the market is strong if:

• It is more concentrated than the industry it is selling to.
• It is not heavily relying on the industry for its profits
• If the participants in the industry have to incur high cost for switching suppliers or the firms are located adjacent to the suppliers manufacturing facilities.
• The product being offered by the suppliers are highly differentiated.
• And when there is no close substitute available for the products being supplied by the suppliers.

Zespri Case Analysis Bargaining power of customers

The buyers having strong bargaining power can highly influence the profitability of the suppliers operating in the market by imposing condition that are not much favorable for the suppliers in terms of price, quality or service.

• The cost of switching is comparatively low.

Limitations of Zespri Case Analysis Porter’s five forces

Though the model from a strategic point of view is an important tool but there are certain limitation associated with the application of the porter five forces model.

• There are many occasions, in which the environmental changes have an adverse influence on the project that might not be noted in the initial stages of project, indicating that the uncertainty sis still there even after the pestle analysis have carried out. This in turn might defeating the prime reason of the pestle analysis.
• The usual or common procedure for pestle analysis is presenting a simple list of the environmental factors affecting the project. Until& unless, the organization critically examine the attributing factors, the analysis’s findings does not seem to be of greater value or consideration.
• The analysis is supposed to be insufficient for the strategic planning objective, since it likely scans the externa environmental, whereas avoiding the competitive scenarios and internal environment. Nonetheless, the analysis needs to be conjunction with other frameworks such as S-W-O-T analysis in order to get a more realistic picture.

In typical situation, there are three options that are developed in by the organization to deal with the given problem. The options developed entails and includes the maximum factor that the organization should analyze or achieve, thus offering great value.

While developing The Alternative, the following factor are taken in account, in order to develop the best alternative that may resolve the problem effectively.

These factor includes the consideration of the following:

Reliability

Invulnerability, compatibility, reversibility, zespri case analysis cost:.

They are the Zespri Case Analysis technical and economically ways through which the project can be carried out feasibly. It is encouraged to be consider especially for a projects that are large and complex in nature

Under the evaluation of alternatives the pros and cons of the alternatives developed above are gauged based on the benefits they offer to the organization and also the strengths the carry that may help the oragnation in overcoming the problem. In addition to this, the disadvantages of the alternatives entails the costs that are associated with implanting the option, and thus required to  be considered before the implementation process, in order to avoid any mishap in future or during the implementation.

In addition to this, the careful and deep consideration is given to the political, economic, social and other porter 5 forces and pestel model so to understand the alignment of right alternative with maximum value and weightage in resolving the problem.

Moreover, under the particular section, the decision criteria is also developed. The particular decision criteria incorporates all the factors that the company aims to archives. Such factors may include sales, profitability competitive edge, market share and other. Once it is done, each alternate is compared against each other and with the decision criteria develop, and are given different weigtage.

Also, during the evaluation process, the financial feasibility of the organization is also considered and the drawbacks/weaknesses of the organization. This is important as it allows the organization in meeting the ultimate goals and addressing the problem effectively.

Lastly, while doing the evaluation of Zespri Case Analysis alternatives, it is important to quantify the options through different techniques. Though in many cases, it is difficult to analyze the feasibility of the options especially the intangible factor, however, quantifying the maximum option is important, in order to develop a clear image and understanding of option that will address the problem.

Also, while selecting a particular course of action/alternative, it is important to ask” whether the option will resolve the problem directly, or will an additional efforts will be required to address the problem. In Addition it is also needed to be considered, if the given option or the alternatives have the right alignment with the organization and re offering value.

Perhaps, it is important to involve other members to take the active feedback on the alternatives, in order to gauge the value of the alternatives and the value it may offer to the organization in the long-term. The open discussion and review from past enables to see more clear picture of the ultimate outcomes, leading to better implementation and selection of the right alternative.

Zespri Case Analysis – Recommendation

Once the options are developed and evaluated, the recommendation is made, on the basis of the best suited option that offers the maximum value to the company and address the problem succinctly. The recommendation is mad in away, that not only offers the solution the problem, but also depicts the implementation process and the course of action that the organization needs to take in order to be successful.

A strong Zespri Case Analysis recommendation must cover the key areas as how the organization will implement the alternatives, what benefits will it receive if it implement the when alternatives and what could be the cost, that he organization will need to overcome or address, in order to effectively implement the alternatives.

In 1904 when the kiwi fruit came intothe New Zealand for the first time it was thought to be a Chinese gooseberry than after some years in 1930 they started to commercialize planting to fulfill the need of the domestic market. In the year 1950, they reached the level of exporting their kiwi fruit outside their markets which results as a successful and grab the attention of the kiwi fruit grower. The results of production showed a huge increase in the kiwi fruit market. In the 1970s government started to play a significant role to meet the standard of quality and made an authority for the progress in exports.Zespri desired to meet the sales of $4.5 Billion in 2025, in which they had a total supply of 260 million trays while maintaining the quality and product size

Currently, they are making a good profit even though there is huge competition in this industry around the globe.

Creating Value

The fresh produce item market is a challenging market for any brand to sustain its quality and customer loyalty. The main activities which make Zespri an independent exporter of New Zealand and a successful brand are its marketing, services, research development, and technological advancement. They also have worked on their warehouses for the outbound logistics to manage all the fulfillment, reduce gaps and serve the market effectively and efficiently with the capabilities of twelve-month availability. In 1997 Zespri became a world famous brand because of their well quality, the availability and the size of the product even though they do not produce Kiwi fruit by themselves but they have a chain of grower and retailer for their marketing system. Zespri spends a lot of money on R&D to research more about the supply chain and sustainability of its brand name by improving its quality, sweetness and marketing campaign around the world.

Standardization

For providing better quality services to the customer they applied a strategy that allow them to pick the best kiwi from the growers. When the kiwi has grown properly they would be sent a sampler to the orchards to taste the kiwi if they found it perfect with the benchmark quality they order that kiwi for export. In this way, Zespri maintain its quality.

Why You Should Learn From ZESPRI

As a result of the transformation in business practices and management, consultants have never been more relevant or required in order to move forward, especially as new ZESPRI cases are developed. As a result of this, business consultants and analysts must learn all they can about the project management program and ZESPRI case study solution before attempting to use it in their field.

A ZESPRI case study solution will help you understand the three key components of the program: project management, project management reporting and case studies. This will allow you to gain the necessary tools and techniques for success.

The actual case study solutions should be easy to understand and build upon the work you already do to improve productivity and profitability. A case study that requires you to add two more ZESPRI case study solutions will not work to your advantage.

For the most part, you must still meet with the team of Case Consultants or those that will be working on your case in order to help them understand your own case and how it fits into the overall process. You must meet with Case Consultants who is in a position to build upon your existing approach to the case and make it more effective.

Once you have worked through the process, it is time to create your own case study and manage the case with ZESPRI. The result is far more valuable than any one case study could ever be.

The key point here is that you must learn how to manage the case and build your case study around the success of the case study itself. The Harvard Case Study Solution provides your consultant with several management techniques to help your consultants succeed in the task at hand.

These management techniques will assist you to manage case, the case studies themselves and the more complex decisions and negotiations that must be made. If your consulting organization is moving forward with your case, there is nothing better to accomplish the goal and keep your consultant happy than to manage the entire process.

The ZESPRI Case Study Solution consists of three different modules; Case Management, Case Consulting and Case Study. As the solution includes a program for case management, business consultants can become fully integrated with their cases and effective managers.

In order to get the most out of the Case Management module, consulting consultants should make sure they understand the process and are skilled at it. The Case Management module is designed to enhance their decision making and provides consultants with the opportunity to deliver the best results with their cases.

Furthermore, ZESPRI management modules can be adapted for other industries and include business consulting and communications, which are the three main business areas where Case Management is utilized. The Case Management module is designed to be modified in order to improve client satisfaction and enhance results from your consulting company.

By utilizing the management modules, consultants can ensure that they are doing their due diligence to meet their clients expectations and improve overall client service. In turn, the end result will always be a successful case and a satisfied client.
