Case Study of strategic management

Meters Limited is a company engaged in the designer, manufacturing and

marketing of instruments like speed meters, oil pressure gauges and so on, they are

fitted into two and four wheelers, their current investment in assets is around Rs.5

cores and their last year turnover was Rs.15 cores just adequate enough to breal even.

The company has been witnessing over the last couple years, a fall in their market

share prices since many customers are switching over to a new range of electronic

instruments from the range of mechanical instruments that have been the main stay of

Meters Limited.

The company has received a film offer of cooperation from a competitor who is

similarly placed in respect of product range. The offers imply the following.

i) Transfer of the manufacturing line from the competitor to Meters Limited.

ii) Manufacture of mechanical instruments by Meters Limited for the

competitors. As per the latter’s specification and brand name and

iii) Marketing by the competitor.

The benefits that will accrue to Meters Limited will be better utilization of its

installed capacity and appropriate financial compensation for the manufacturing effort.

The production manager of Meters Limited has welcomed the proposal points out that

will enable the company’s profits. The sales manager is doubtful about the same.

Since the demand for mechanical instruments is shrinking, the chief executive

studying the offer.

Answer the following questions.

i) What is divestment strategy? Do you see it being practiced in the given case?

Explain.

ii) What is stability strategy? Should Meters Limited adopt it?

iii) What is expansion strategy and what are your suggestions to the chief executive?
