EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Overall Strategy
With tremendous amount of competition targeting the audience, as an organization we need to formulate a strategy that urges user to purchase our product, thereby increasing sales for the business. Furthermore, overall strategy of the company can be at macro-level which might differ as the company penetrate into different geographies like Europe-Africa, Asia-Pacific, Latin America along with establishing strong presence in North America. Therefore, the overall strategy takes into consideration lot of factors like competitors actions, production of goods, performance of the company and forecast for future.
Explanation of Strategies Contemplated for the Business
In order to be successful in the business, we had holistically analyzed the market and cu
ent situation of the company and came out with the three business strategy that can help us capitalize our strength while enhancing the environment variables in the favor of the business. These three primary strategy that we contemplate to implement after analyzing the cu
ent situations and market dynamics are explained below
First is the Differentiation Strategy - We intend to deploy a plan that would provide us differentiation in the market with respect to our products. We come up with the attributes in the footwear like features, or styling or quality that would allow the customer to easily identify our
and. We can also do this by the
eadth of the product line, endorsements and cele
ity associations that can help us to garner more penetration of the
and as well as lead generation in the fan following of the cele
ity.
Second is More Value for Money Strategy - This is our second strategy that we have selected. By the virtue of this strategy, we intend to provide best quality products at least price or at a price much lower than what other companies are offering. This strategy demands to provide ability to incorporate captivating footwear at much lower price relative to the competitors. This strategy can help us to underprice the competitors those have close characteristics and similar attributes
Third is the Market leader approach that urges to focus on the wholesale of the footwear retailer, sales on internet as well as private label footwear to the various chain retailers. Particularly focusing on investing efforts that can make the company as market leader either in different geographies or as an overall global
and.
Summary key outcomes

As the company's ROE has, substantially increased to 40% this displays good health in garnering return on the investment that will be received to its shareholders.

anded as well as private label footwear. Third is the company's community responsibility or sustainable ways to conduct operation. Image rating of the company has improved from FY2010 to FY 2012 exhibiting that company is producing quality products which are considered stylish by the people. Furthermore, organization bases its operations on pillars of sustainable development.

Essentially, it finds out return on a specific investment with respect to the cost investment. It is calculated by dividing profit or return received on the investment upon the cost of investment. The outcome is expressed in ratio or percentage.
