The company forms a committee to analyze the market situation in various Asian countries. The committee studies the market conditions in developing Asian countries and boiled down its search to 3 different countries. The pros and cons for each of the countries are listed in a report which the committee submits to the board of directors. India is one of the prospective countries where Malibaba plans to invest. However, the country has restrictions on FDI in retail market. Moreover, there are already existing players like klipkart and napdeal in the Indian market. Another prospective country is Sri Lanka where there is no existing competitor but the market reach is low. In comparison to India\u2019s 1.2 billion, the population of Sri Lanka is merely 20 million. The third prospective country is Pakistan. This country has a reasonably good market and there\u2019s no competition . However, the country is not well developed and thus the purchasing power of the people is low. Moreover, because of being called a terrorist hub, there are also security concerns in Pakistan.<\/p>\n<p><b>Question 2:\u00a0<\/b>Sri Lankan government is providing incentives for the foreign companies investing in the country.

Kide had been doing well in the market, but not a week went by without a customer writing to complain about the commercial.<br \/>\nIt featured a woman saying, \u201cMuddy shirt! Muddy shirt!\u201d in a condescending voice to a man whose shirt was soiled with dirt. The man looked at his wife, who was very embarrassed at the entire situation. Later the commercial shows her washing the shirt after rubbing Kide into it, and the other woman saying, \u201cSo bright and tidy!\u201d<br \/>\nThe complaining letters, almost exclusively from women, expressed objections to the commercial because it was misogynistic and otherwise offensive as well. Many of these unsatisfied customers said that they would not buy the brand because of the offensive commercial and because it was demeaning to women. On the one hand, the brand was doing well; it was the brand leader in a growing market, though a much larger competing company was quite capable of beating Kide.<br \/>\nAyush was a believer in the profit motive, but not at the cost of condoning unethical behaviour. He had been asked to make a recommendation for the commercial. After reviewing the sales data and reading the letters of complaint, Ayush was contemplating his next move. He analysed data which showed that the primary decision makers and purchasers of the product were women. Part of the reason for Kide\u2019s success was believed to be the advertising message, which not only had a high level of recall but a high level of association with the brand. Ayush wondered if, in spite of its apparent success, it was ethical to continue with the advertising message if it was misogynistic.<\/p>\n<p><b>Question 9:\u00a0<\/b>How should Ayush approach the situation?<\/p>\n<p>a)\u00a0Take no action until the issue is studied further.<\/p>\n<p>b)\u00a0Stop the existing message and come up with a new marketing campaign.<\/p>\n<p>c)\u00a0Modify the current message slightly.<\/p>\n<p>d)\u00a0Stick with the existing message as it is one of the reasons behind Kide\u2019s success.<\/p>\n<p>e)\u00a0Use the previous marketing message which wasn\u2019t so successful but never had criticism for being misogynistic.<\/p>\n<p><b>&#8220;Question 10:\u00a0<\/b>Ayush reported to Neha Singh, the marketing head, and would provide recommendations to her. Neha was a capable, promising executive who did not like the Kide commercial. She proclaimed that she would never buy the brand because the message was offensive and asked Ayush to change the message. But Ayush was not strongly in favour of the idea. He was worried about how the new message might affect Kide\u2019s standing in the market.<br \/>\nWhat is the best course of action for Ayush?<\/p>\n<p>a)\u00a0Work on the new message as it is suggested by his senior.<\/p>\n<p>b)\u00a0Approach the CEO of the company and express his concerns to him.<\/p>\n<p>c)\u00a0Start working on the new message but approach Neha once again expressing his concerns and reservations.<\/p>\n<p>Shivakumar\u2019sd)\u00a0Send an anonymous mail to all the senior officials expressing his concern.<\/p>\n<p>e)\u00a0Modify the current message slightly so that it is less offensive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cracku.in\/blog\/xat-syllabus-2019-pdf-exam-pattern\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"btn btn-primary \">Download XAT Syllabus PDF<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Question 11:\u00a0<\/b>Rohit, a senior auditor at E&amp;Z;, is working with a team which is auditing Specific Motors, which is one of the major clients of the firm.

Thus, B is the best decision of the author given the circumstances<\/p>\n<p><strong>2)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(B)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Because of the larger market potential the cost of setting up the business per potential customer in India would be much lower than that in Sri Lanka. Hence, despite governments incentives in Sri Lanka, the company will still prefer to invest in India.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(C)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The easiest way to enter the Indian market would be to tie up with an already existing company.

It is also known that the current message is one of the reasons behind Kide\u2019s success. Thus, changing or modifying the message entails the risk of losing the market to their rival. Thus, B and E are incorrect. C is also incorrect as there is no guarantee that the modified message is as successful as the current one.<br \/>\nThe correct approach should be to analyse the situation better. It is given that they are receiving at least one complaint per week i.e. at least 52 in the year. But if the customers who are content with the commercial are much larger than this base, then changing the message is not the best idea as the message has been proven successful. Thus, between A and E, A is the better choice as it addresses the complaints unlike E.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(C)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A is incorrect as it might be the case that Neha\u2019s strategy might not be the best.

Thus, it might not be the best approach.<br \/>\nC is also incorrect as it doesn\u2019t go hand in hand with his employer\u2019s policies and is ethically wrong.<br \/>\nThus, A seems to be the best option among the five.<\/p>\n<p><strong>12)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(E)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Providing false information will have legal consequences on the persons involved. So option B which talks about following Mr. Reddy\u2019s directive is not right.<br \/>\nWhen there are possible better alternatives not doing anything is not the best course of action. Thus, C is also incorrect.<br \/>\nFrom the case let given it is clear that Mr. Srinivas is not willing to listen to any view of Prajith regarding the matter. Thus, option D is also not the best course of action<br \/>\nAmong options A and E, E is more correct as the before reporting such an important matter which could have grave consequences on the reputation of the college it should be first discussed with the people in charge.<\/p>\n<p><strong>13)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(E)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Both Abhishek and Rajeev are important to the organization. Thus, just taking action against one of them is not the right decision. Thus, both option C can be eliminated.<br \/>\nOptions A and D are decisions which would help in the long run but would be ineffective in the short run<br \/>\nB is an extreme step and should only be taken if efforts to settle their quarrel are not successful. Thus, option E is the best course of action in the given situation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>14)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(B)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>From the question we can infer that Ashok even though was dissatisfied by the lead supervisors decision decided to focus on the job at hand. Thus, we can say that he values the objectives of the company higher than his own ego. Thus, B could be the most probable reason for his actions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>15)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(D)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The only logical, ethical and profitable decision one should take in this situation is to maintain both the level of production and the quality of the product.<br \/>\nSo the correct option is option D.<\/p>\n<p><strong>16)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(D)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Options a, b, c are not proper solutions to solve the problem given in the question. And option E is harsh decision to make. Option D is the better decision to make, so that they could work on the quality of the product with the help of Gautham\u2019s plan without any further consequences.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=in.cracku.app&amp;hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"btn btn-danger \">Highly Rated GK Preparation App<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Decision Making Questions for XAT PDF: Download Decision Making Questions for XAT PDF.
