This PPT slide, part of the 27-slide Issue Based Problem Solving PowerPoint presentation, presents a structured approach to analyzing a specific problem related to the first-time buyer market in personal computers (PCs). At the center of the diagram is the primary question: "Should we pursue the 1st time buyer market in PCs?" This question is critical for decision-making, especially for organizations considering entry or expansion in a new market segment.
Branching out from this main issue are several sub-issues that delve deeper into the implications of targeting first-time buyers. The first sub-issue examines profitability, posing the question of whether first-time buyers will be a profitable segment. This is crucial for assessing the financial viability of the strategy.
Another sub-issue focuses on alignment with the company's broader corporate strategy. It raises the question of whether a strategy aimed at first-time buyers is consistent with the overall direction and goals of the organization. This alignment is vital for ensuring that resources are effectively utilized and that the initiative supports long-term objectives.
The slide further breaks down these sub-issues into specific sub-sub-issues. For instance, under revenue potential, it prompts inquiries about total market size and the company’s expected market share. Understanding these metrics is essential for estimating the potential return on investment.
Costs to serve are also examined, with questions regarding incremental sales and marketing costs, as well as operational costs. These considerations help in evaluating the financial implications of entering this market segment.
Overall, this slide emphasizes a thorough and methodical approach to problem-solving, ensuring that all relevant factors are considered before making strategic decisions. It serves as a practical framework for executives looking to navigate complex market dynamics.
