Was an objective question. 1 to 50. Maths, English and behavioural questions. Then two essays to follow. It was easy. But I didn't get enough time. We were like 4 that wrote the test that day. Maybe they are calling in batches I can't say. Still haven't heard from them since the 8th of this month.

Paroman: We need more of you guys solving these questions biko.
We are all here to learn. Below is Case study 3



Our client Colt’s Manufacturing Company (CMC, formerly Colt’s Patent Firearms Manufacturing Company) is a United States firearms manufacturer headquartered in Hartford, Connecticut. Colt is best known for the engineering, production, and marketing of firearms over the later half of the 19th and the 20th
century. Colt’s earliest designs played a major role in the popularization of the revolver and
the shift away from earlier single-
shot pistols. The most famous
Colt products include the Walker
Colt, Single Action Army or
Peacemaker, and the Colt Python.
Colt has been the national market leader of firearm manufacturing
and sales for more than 150 years. Recently, however, they have seen a sharp decrease in sales. What are the reasons of their sales
drop and what can we do to proliferate sales?


Additional Information:
Colt’s market share in year 2011 was 45%; in 2009 was 55%.
The firearms industry in the U.S. has grown by 3% annually in
the last two years.
The most popular “Colt M1911″ pistol constitutes 70% of Colt’s
sales. Remaining sales are from specialty firearms suppliers.
Costs of production, distribution and marketing have not
changed over the last two years.
Prices increased only with the rate of inflation.
Brescia, Italy based Italian firearms manufacturer Beretta entered
the U.S. market in 2007 and has since been growing rapidly.
They outsource their production and thus offer a cheaper
alternative: the “Beretta M9″.
Besides a few small local companies, no new company has
entered the U.S. firearms industry.

Let me try this. embarassed forgive my use of probabilities. I don't know if that is allowed in solving case studies. Correct me if it isn't.

I believe the sales drop can be attributed to the growth of the firearm Industry in the U.S which is 6% in the last two years. This can also be the reason for the 10% drop in the market share between the year 2009 to 2011.
Another reason behind the sales drop might also be the introduction of a cheaper alternative that is the Beretta M9 by Brescia. Clients would rather go for a cheaper version of a product if it works perfectly well and serves it's main purpose.

Solution
Since outsourcing the production of firearms by Brescia helped the company in the production of a cheaper arm. The colt manufacturer should also look into outsourcing the production of one of their arms so as to be able to produce a cheap arm to combat that of Brescia's berrata m9 that would increase sales and also gain back their market share.

Whewww... forgive any typo.
