WEonly have a few different products but we workhard to keep these products at a level of qualitythat meets our customers needs. Revising theseproducts and never letting them get outdated.

What we learned Analyse the market and its competingproducts Create and execute a strategy Coordinate company activities The importance of the balanced scorecard The market has different segments withdifferent expectations. 6. Customer ExpectationOur customers always want perfection,but it is impractical to have perfectproducts. In many cases we had tosettle for great products, but thebetter the products, the higher thecosts. Our task was to give customersgreat products while still making aprofit. 7. Price Expectations Each segment of customers have differentprice expectations. One segment might wantinexpensive products while another, seekingadvanced technology, might be willing to payhigher prices. Customers wanting better technology prefernewer products. The ideal ages for thesemarket segments are generally less than twoyears. Other segments prefer proventechnology. These segments seek olderdesigns. 8.
