FIRST PRODUCT OF HP COMPANY

OSCILLATOR An audio oscillator is an electronic instrument used to test sound equipment. The HP model 200A was a

resistance-capacitance audio oscillator that represented a significant advancement in oscillator technology at the time.

resistance.

In 1940, the Walt Disney Company ordered eight Model 200B oscillators and used the equipment to test the various channels, recording equipment and speaker systems

PRODUCT MIX

A Product mix (Product Assortment) is the set of all products and items , a particular seller offers for Sale

it consists of both product lines and individual products.

A product line is a group of products within the product mix that are closely related, either because they function in a similar manner, are sold to the same customer groups, are marketed through the same types of outlets, or fall within given price ranges.

The Width of a product mix refers to how many different product lines the company carries.

The Length of a product mix refers to the total number of items in the mix.

The Depth of a product mix refers to how many variants are offered of each product in the line.

PRODUCT-MIX ANALYSIS Since top management is ultimately responsible for

the product mix and the resulting profits or losses, they often analyze the company product mix.

The first assessment involves the area of opportunity in a particular industry or market. Opportunity is generally defined in terms of current industry growth or potential attractiveness as an investment.

The second criterion is the company's ability to exploit opportunity, which is based on its current or potential position in the industry. The company's position can be measured in terms of market share if it is currently in the market, or in terms of its resources if it is considering entering the market

BCG analysisBCG analysis The most widely used approach to product The most widely used approach to product

portfolio analysis is the model developed by the portfolio analysis is the model developed by the Boston Consulting Group (BCG). The BCG analysis Boston Consulting Group (BCG). The BCG analysis emphasizes two main criteria in evaluating the emphasizes two main criteria in evaluating the firm's product mix:firm's product mix:

the market growth rate the market growth rate

and and

the product's relative market share.the product's relative market share.

Product categories Product categories Once the analysis has been done using the market growth Once the analysis has been done using the market growth

rate and relative market share, products are placed into one of rate and relative market share, products are placed into one of four categories four categories Stars: Products with high growth and market share are know as stars. Because these products have high potential for profitability, they should be given top priority in financing, advertising, product positioning, and distribution. As a result, they need significant amounts of cash to finance rapid growth and frequently show an initial negative cash flow.

Cash cows: Products with a high relative market share but in a low growth position are cash cows. These are profitable products that generate more cash than is required to produce and market them. Excess cash should be used to finance high-opportunity areas (stars or problem children). Strategies for cash cows should be designed to sustain current market share rather than to expand it. An expansion strategy would require additional investment, thus decreasing the existing positive cash flow.

Problem children: These products have low relative market share but are in a high growth situation. They are called "problem children" because their eventual direction is not yet clear. The firm should invest heavily in those that sales forecasts indicate might have a reasonable chance to become stars. Otherwise divestment is the best course, since problem children may become dogs and thereby candidates for deletion.Dogs: Products in the category are clearly candidates for deletion. Such products have low market shares and unlike problem children, have no real prospect for growth. Eliminating a dog is not always necessary, since there are strategies for dogs that could make them profitable in the short term. These strategies involve "harvesting" these products by eliminating marketing support and selling the product only to intensely loyal consumers who will buy in the absence of advertising. However, over the long term companies will seek to eliminate dogs
