mountain man brewing company bringing the brand to light!
CASE QUESTION:
SHOULD MMBC INTRODUCE A LIGHT BEER—YES OR NO?
IF YOU AGREE, EXPLAIN WHY THIS IS A GOOD DECISION FOR MMBC. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, WHAT OTHER OPTIONS WOULD YOU RECOMMEND (TO GENERATE SALES GROWTH AT MMBC OVER THE COMING FIVE YEARS)?WHICH OPTION IS BEST, AND WHY IS THIS THE BEST ONE (EXPLAIN)?
Consider these issues when responding to the questions above:
(a) What sales volume would be required to break even on the new product within two years?
(b) How much “cannibalization” of its current product would result from the introduction of a light beer—and is this amount of cannibalization acceptable, do you think?
(c) Is the proposed budget for the new product launch set at a reasonable level, or can it be reduced and still meet the sales goals?
