My suggestions are as follows 1.Tapping new customer base by having financial tie ups with local banks….As this is the case with apple and other premium brands in India and around the world 2.Having a seasonal sale with limited edition models 3.Creating a gearing community and pulling out people to join the club will make them more enthusiastic in getting one(such as RE) 4.Launching a low priced scooter or motorcycle will erode the high brand image of HD.Introducing an off brand to target the female customers will ward off the threats in short term and build its position strongly in long term
For the steel part:- i would suggest them to consider buying steel futures contract for far month expiry in order to hedge against the potential price increase of steel. This can be an effective strategy if the prices increase and will eliminate the rise in cost of production due to rising steel prices. For the sales part:- i think Harley should keep selling the bikes at the current proce. If they start selling their bikes at higher price, it will affect the market share of the company which is the most important asset for a company. They can gradually raise prices throughout the years in order to improve their profit margins.
To keep the steel cost intact : my recommendation would be to have a fixed price contract and that would eventually come if the firm has a good relationship with their current supplier
Give the volatile times of global economy, Most of the companies [raw material supplier] will try to achieve inflation indexing to meet production targets, minimize employee attrition etc., So, fixed price contract seems a bit utopian here. Please do share your views on this. Thanks in advance.
Wow, so insightful and yes it's a very new things that you are showing and solving case study on UA-cam channel, 😃, j have nit seen it on other UA-cam channel.
Yes mam loves the case study can you also come with case studies of finance, marketing and other domains of MBA. It will be really helpful for us to decide which domain to pick. Thank you.
First of all thanks for the video. My recommendations would be - Harley should increase their pricing for a better margin, but it adversely effect the revenue of domestic bikes segment as well as replacement parts segment( Harley can market the premium play of their brand). The marketing should also be focused towards community building which would help increase merchandise sales. The increased margin would help mitigate the rising cost of steel and would help keep the margins high. These coupled with some of yours points was my first instinct recommendations. Thanks again! Keep up the Good work.
Amazing video mam❤ Please tell from where or from which platform to learn financial modeling & valuations which also have relevant live projects in the end. I think being a bcom(h) graduate and future mba aspirant this is really important course. Please recommend the best source. There are lot of sources available out there in which some are genuine and some are not genuine. Your husband (whose I am great fan of) is investment banker so you are the best person to asked from. THANK YOU🙏❤
Soumi loved solving a case with you ! Thank you :) Quick Question : Why the consulting MBB firms don't hire from NIT TRICHY ? Inspite of being a top engineering school Only this year Bain hired the President of 180D Consulting club for Associate position and one more guy for analyst in PE Does this sign show BAIN will hire in subsequent placement years ?
Bain and co. hired two students from Jadavpur University this year. So they would be coming in your campus too in coming years being a Tier 1 college too
@@InsiderGyaanhi ma'am really liked your content, we have tried to build a platform which will help people in their consulting preparation ranging from case studies to Guesstimates and interview experiences. We would love your feedback regarding it.
Hi Soumi. Loved your content ! Quick: For someone who doesnt have IIT or IIM academic background but have good grades in his respective college stand a chance to get an interview call if assessment is cleared?
Hey Soumi, thank you for this case video. I have 1 query here regarding the situation when we're discussing about whether to increase/decrease the volume of sales. There should we disclose our analysis of both the scenarios like what will happen if we'll increase the price & sell lesser number i.e 275k bikes & what will happen when we sell the same 330k number of bikes ? Like should we share both the approaches or should we share only one ? Coz if we are sharing both, then won't the interviewer think I, myself am confused in this. So should we share both the sides of production or only one ?
For short term harley should sell their unit at international market But for long term company should increase their price as the targeting audience for harley is Men with high testosterone and harley should more focus on Quality of customer not on quantity of customer For Women they should launch a model which reflect the personality of girls with high Estrogen Their bike should sell an emotion to customer so that they can over pay us
Hi Ma'am! I am Purvasha Kashyap, an MBA student. Is it possible for us to connect? I saw a few of your case study videos and absolutely loved it. I would love for you to take up a case study session in my college, if that seems fine to you. It would be great to connect with you on LinkedIn too.
Please keep these case study videos coming, super informative!

Seems like for people with finance background such cases will be relatively easier
Very useful! Please keep doing these, preferably with a friend/mentor in an actual interview format

The point here is renewal of contract, not steel price, that’s already determined by market.

Also if you can bring something important students can do specialization wise.
The statement says that the stock price has fell, this has nothing to do with profits. I guess it should be under root cause analysis.
10:39 u said if we lower the price market share will go down as less no. Of units isn't it wrong with reference to info
Thank u for efforts mam
Please do more case studies and guesstimates, It will be very helpful for us maa'am

Hey - you should always explain the thought process. Weigh pros and cons of both then make a recommendation. Thats the purpose of a case
@@InsiderGyaan okk sure ; thanks for the clarification 👍
is it important to learn all the frameworks
