Panoramic Equiptindo Company Limited (PE) is an experienced original equipment manufacturing (OEM) in cameras. However, it focuses on film camera production while its production of compact digital camera (CDCs) accounts for only 10% of its production. PE realises that the market for traditional film camera is declining in terms of demand and profit margin because costumers are shifting to digital camera. In view of the market sentiment, PE is considering the following two options: Option 1: Upgrading as an OEM manufacturer for consumer CDCs Following this option, PE would need to invest at least $40 million to replace its existing production facilities to meet costumer requirements. Panoramic Equiptindo would remain principally an OEM manufacturer for costumer CDCs of major brands. Option 2: Becoming an original brand manufacturer (OBM) for budget CDCs for the PCR using the “Marvelous” brand. Following this option. Panoramic Equiptindo could retain its manufacturing facilities with…

Ahorita Company manufactures wireless transponders for satellite applications. Ahorita has recently acquired Zelltech Company which is primarily known for its software communications development, but also manufactures a specialty transponder under the trade name “Z-Tech” that competes with one of Ahorita’s products. Ahorita will now discontinue Z-Tech and projects that its own product line will see a market share increase.
