Answer 1

The ARC company produces and sells cosmetics for women and
girls. The company is owned by a brother and sister. They wanted
to make more money than they were earning in their old jobs.
Although profitable, business sales have fallen in recent years. This
is causing many stakeholder groups to worry about the future of
the business. The owners are very keen for the business to
continue. Sales are falling due to new competition in the market
with exciting new products, so ARC must cut production costs to
survive. The company has bought expensive new manufacturing
equipment which is very specialised. Fewer workers are needed
and they perform the same tasks each day and some workers have
left because they are bored. Production has fallen as a result of this
and ARC cannot supply all of the shops.
The marketing director is keen to increase the value added of
the cosmetics. One product - the 'Bella' perfume - currently sells
for $7. It is made from soap bought in by the business at a cost of
$2 per item. The director believes that by designing new luxury
Packaging for the product, value added could be increased.
