To discuss the trends and changing competitive dynamics of the global consumer packaged goods
industry – developed vs developing markets
To understand the role and importance of supply chain management in a consumer packaged
goods company like P&G
To debate on the possibilities of supply chain management becoming a competitive advantage
and contributing to top-line growth as well as bottom-line performance
To debate on the sustainability and extendibility of ‘P&G–Wal-Mart’ experiment.
Assignment Questions
I.
II.
Discuss the changing dynamics and the critical success factors of the consumer packaged goods
industry. What was their influence on companies like P&G and Unilever?
Critically examine the role and importance of supply chain management for consumer packaged
goods industry.
III. Highlighting P&G’s customer-driven supply network, analyse how supply chain efficiencies serve
as a source of competitive advantage.
IV. Elaborating on P&G–Wal-Mart relationship, critically examine the sustainability and extendibility
of such experiment in other retail stores in the developed markets as well as in the developing
retail markets.
Teaching Plan
Both Structured Assignment and Teaching Note follow a specific Teaching Plan [Annexure (TN)-I].
Since it is a small case study, I suggest giving it to the students an hour before the discussion session. I begin
the discussion by asking my students a string of general questions:
•
Name a few brands in consumer packaged goods categories like baby and family care, fabric and
home care, beauty and grooming – personal care, health care, snacks and food products, pet care,
etc.
From the list given, I also ask them about their most preferred brands and the reasons for their
affiliation
Where do they buy these products from – mom-and-pop stores or supermarkets, departmental
stores or big retail marts?
What influences their purchase decisions?
Are they brand-loyal for various common consumer products like soaps, lotions, tooth paste,
etc.?
Do they change their mind at the point of purchase?
How far their purchase decisions are influenced by peers and other relations?
Are they ready to try out new products launched in the market?
Do discounts and other promotional offers influence their purchase decisions?
