    Why we have selected Water Proof Cell Phones?

    After a little research, we can not find any mobile phones that claim to be

    water proof...but water proof also means that you could leave it underwater for as long as you want and it would continue to work.

    However, there are quite a few that claim to be water resistant which

    means they will handle some water for some amount a time.

    The names of few are given below:

    Ericson R250

    Ericson R1310

    Nokia 6250

    There are however several companies that offer what they claim to be

    waterproof mobile phone cases. They include:

    Wirelessground

    Scmsemitech

    Yellowpager

    But these are not giving any water proof mobiles. Thats why we decide to

    introduce water proof mobiles in order to eliminate the following

    problems:

    Using mobile phones in rain.

    Using mobile phones by ladies during washing.

    Using mobile phones during swimming and diving

    Introduction of the Company:

    Ocean Blue (O) a company isestablished for introducing entirely a

    new idea of water proof mobile phones in the market. Few companies

    already exist with such idea but the differential advantage of Ocean

    Blue is that the mobile phones are water proof not up to a certain limit.

    As we all know that, a high number of mobile phones are ruined just

    because of water. So a new technology is introduced by us Ocean Blue

    which makes the devices waterproof could be a God-send to both

    consumers and the industry alike. Originally designed for the

    Military

    House wives

    Stubborn people (forget to remove mobile from clothing prior to

    spin cycle)

    Careless people (drop mobiles in water, spill a drink on phones)

    The new technology is called O, and by being bonded to the surface

    of mobile phones can allow them to repel water, keeping the delicate

    internal circuitry safe and sound.

    CUSTOMER ANALYSIS:

    The customer analysis allows an organization to identify and target the

    most profitable customers with marketing campaigns directed at various

    distribution channels. Integrating these channels allows for targeted sales

    force management and the tracking and monitoring of campaign results.

    The study of consumers helps our company OCEAN BLUE to improve our

    marketing strategies by understanding issues such as:

    The psychology of consumers thinking, feelings, reasoning, and

    selection between different alternatives (e.g., brands, products)

    The psychology of the consumer influenced by his or her

    environment (e.g., culture, family, signs, media)

    The behavior of consumers while shopping or making other

    marketing decisions

    Limitations in consumer knowledge or information processing

    abilities influence decisions and marketing outcome

    The consumer motivation and decision strategies differing between

    products that differ in their level of importance or interest that they

    entail for the consumer

    The marketers adaptation and improvement in their marketing

    campaigns and marketing strategies

    COMPETITORS ANALYSIS:

    Competitor Analysis is an important part of the strategic planning process.

    It helps management to understand their competitive advantages or

    disadvantages relative to competitors, generate understanding of

    competitors past, present (and most importantly) future strategies &

  • 8/9/2019 business plan on water proof mobile

    7/28

    provide an informed basis to develop strategies to achieve competitive

    advantage in the future.

    Competitors:

    The competitors that are present in the market against our company

    include:

    Nokia

    Sony Ericsson and some others too

    Focusing mainly on these two competitors is so because they alsointroduce some sort of water proof mobile phones but could not get the

    market.

    Market Share:

    Nokia is presently the leading mobile company followed by others like

    L.G, Sony Ericsson, Motorola, Samsung, Nokla etc. the market share of

    these is explained in the pie chart below:

  • 8/9/2019 business plan on water proof mobile

    8/28

    Samsung 13.8%

    Motorola 13.4%

    Nokia 30.9%

    Seimens 7.6%

    LG 6.7%

    Ericsson 6.4%

    others 21.2%

    Product portfolio & Prices:

    Nokia:

    Nokia has a wide range of mobile phones products available in the

    market. They include few categories according to the income of the

    people NOKIA 1100, NOKIA 6030, NOKIA 1112, N-95, N-70, N-72 and

    many others. The water proof mobile phone introduced by nokia was

    Nokia-6250 having a price of Rs.25000

    Sony-Ericsson:

    On the other hand Sony-Ericsson whose market share these days is on

    the sixth number in the top six mobile companies in the market. It has

    also large variety of mobile phones like W-220i, W-700i, W710i, W810i, P-

    900, P910i, K-790i, K-800i, K-810i and many others according to the taste

    and demand of the people. The water proof phones introduced by this

    company viz. R250 & R1310 also unable to get any sort of market like

    Nokia.

    Technology:

    The technology of the mobile phones introduced by Nokia and Ericsson

    are as follows:

  • 8/9/2019 business plan on water proof mobile

    9/28

    Nokia 6250:

    It is GSM900/1800 dual-band, water, shock and dustproof, made primarily

    for outdoor professionals, hobbyists and corporate users. It can withstand

    temporary immersion in water, and it is also compliant with the Wireless

    Application Protocol (WAP).

    Ericsson R250:

    The R250 PRO is the first water, dust and shock resistant mobile phone

    produced by Ericsson. It operates on GSM 900 and GSM 1800 frequencies

    and supports both GSM phase 2+ technologies and the GSM Pro system.

    This offers you the opportunity to combine all the advantages of a GSM

    mobile phone with Private Mobile Radio (PMR) functionality. Finished in

    eye-catching orange or a sober dark green, R250 PRO is the perfect

    working tool for outdoor communications in tough environments.

    Advertising campaign:

    In case of both Nokia and Sony Ericsson the major drawback lies in:

    1. Poor advertising campaigns.

    2. No knowledge of the mobile phones to the customers.

    3. Distribution channels were very weak.

    4. They are not introduced in Pakistan except Nokia.

    Our company strategies OCEAN BLUE

    From seeing all the above factors the company decided to take different

    actions in order to promote our water proof mobile phones. The strategies

    lie with the awareness of the people, advertising campaigns, distribution

  • 8/9/2019 business plan on water proof mobile

    10/28

    channels and the easy accessibility of the mobile phones. Also the main

    focus is on the outlook of the mobile phones and easy to use the software.

    SEGMENTATION:

    The division of market into different homogeneous group of consumers is

    known as market segmentation.

    There are three types from which segmentation can be performed

    Customer related

    Product related

    Competition related

    As far as our company Ocean Blue is concerned it is entirely a new

    company so in our view the market segment is very wide. At present it will

    be the only brand in Pakistan having water proof cell phones (with no

    fixed duration).

    Target Market:

    The target market of the company includes:

    Army people

    It will help them to keep in contact with the army officers even they are

    hidden in lakes and ponds. Also during the chemical wars.

    House wives

    It will help them in using mobile phones during washing clothes or plates

    in kitchen as wet hands will not ruin their mobile phones.

  • 8/9/2019 business plan on water proof mobile

    11/28

    Stubborn people

    People who forget to remove mobile from clothing prior to spin cycle or

    forget to cover it in a rain are also targeted because this mobile phone will

    have no effect of water even if they forgot. They can use them even in

    rain.

    Careless people

    It includes those people who drop mobile phones in toilet or in water or

    even spill a drink on it.

    Positioning:

    Technology will bring next generation Location-based services to

    mobile subscribers.

    With new Location Based Services, mobile subscribers can access a range ofnew, exciting services, relevant to their location. In the near future ONE

    customer will have the opportunity to get information about shops and special

    Marketing Mix

    The marketing mix of mobile phone companies consist of four Ps that

    include product, price, promotion and place.

    1. Product:

  • 8/9/2019 business plan on water proof mobile

    13/28

    Water proof Mobile Phones (OCEAN BLUE)

    Product Anatomy:

    Core: water proof Mobile Phone

    Actual: OB 22

    Augment: FM Radio, WAP, Games

    Approximate Word Count: 5589

    Approximate Pages: 23 (250 words per double-spaced page)

    Target Market:

    Army people,

    House wives,

    Stubborn people,

    Careless people

    2. Price:

    We are going to use Skimming Price Strategy because of its specifications as:

    [FM Radio, WAP, Games, Edge, Bluetooth, Infrared,3G service, Extended Memory

    Slot, WCDMA, 3GPP standardized location methods such as Cell ID based

    (SAI+RTT), OTDOA (Observed Time Difference of Arrival) and Assisted Global

    Mobile phones which have such specifications are going to be ranged from

    10,000 - 20,000. Mobile phones which are without the specifications of [3G

    service, Extended Memory Slot, WCDMA, OTDOA (Observed Time Difference of

    Arrival) and Assisted Global Positioning System (A-GPS)] will range from 4,000

    7,000.

    3. Place:

  • 8/9/2019 business plan on water proof mobile

    14/28

    Regarding placement our Head office is established at Main Boulevard

    Road (Lahore). And the production unit will also be at the same place

    which will be convenient both for the manufacturer and the wholesalers.

    The convenience for the manufacturer is that they should not have to bear

    the transportation cost of bringing the mobile phone from unit to the head

    office for verification, and for the wholesalers the convenience lies with

    the clearance and the departure of the product from the same place.

    4. Promotion:

    We will mainly focus on two major methods of promotions.

    1) Fixed percentage of sales

    2) Specific object and task method

    Fixed percentage of sales:

    A fixed percentage of company sales allocated to promotion. This is the least

    market oriented approach but its logical and easy to calculate. The allocated

    percentage will vary from 10%-15% of sales depending upon the circumstances.

    Specific object and task method:

    We will set certain tasks and objectives for the sake of road map, and then

    we will use promotional methods to achieve the targets. Targets can be

    set in the form of;

    Enhancing sales

    Increase in Market share

    Increase in Brand loyalty

    Following promotional tactics will be used by OCEAN BLUE;

    We are making promotion for the sake of information through Brochure and

    Flex Signs, and especially through:

  • 8/9/2019 business plan on water proof mobile

    15/28

    Fairs

    Concerts

    Exhibitions in Colleges

    For the convenience of the OCEAN BLUE customers, the company has also

    launch the website so that the customers can purchase online at any time and

    the specifications, designs and prices will be available for customization. The

    website address will be

    www.Oceanblue.com

    Quantitative Goals:

    Ocean Blue Company has many quantitative goals to achieve. The research was

    conducted in

    Market

    Colleges and Schools

    Door to Door

    Offices

    Distribution channels (chimera, mobile zone)

    And it was found the 20% people are too much choosy in selecting of mobile

    phones, 70% use mobile phones as the need of the day and rest 10% are those

    that do not have mobile phones. These include much poorer people living in

    ragged huts.

    Potential Customers:

    Data from research showed that potential customers are almost 6 out of 10 as

    we are targeting both men and women along with the army people. Our goal isto cater these customers and then gradually increase the market of our mobile

  • 8/9/2019 business plan on water proof mobile

    16/28

    phones. Considering the population of Pakistan which is round about 17 crores

    our potential customers could be almost 8 crores. These customers also include

    those people using mobiles of other companies.

    Sales:

    Our next quantitative goal is to maximize our sales. The start up sale of the

    company is expected to be 20%-30% of initial investment. Since our company

    Ocean Blue has made a huge investment so we need to get maximum out of that

    to remain in existence thats why we consider our payback period of almost 5

    years.

    Share in the market:

    Samsung 13.8%

    Motorola 13.4%

    Nokia 30.9%

    Seimens 7.6%

    LG 6.7%

    Ericss on 6.4%

    others 21.2%

    As it is quite visible in the above pie chart the market share of Nokia is 30.9%

    and following it is Motorola with the market share of 13.4% our company Ocean

    Blue is a challenger competing the other mobile phone companies so we expect

    to have the market share of almost 12%-14% in the near future.

    Ch anges required:

    As Ocean Blue is entirely a new company so we dont want to make any change

    in our structure. Because changes are made according to the feedbacks of the

    product by the customers

    .

    Implementation of stra tegies

    Formulating an effective strategy is very central thing to be done by any

    company but it is more important than that that how the company will

    implement those strategies. Effectiveness of strategy can be determined by

    considering the following factors:

    organizational structure

    The organizational structure of Ocean Blue is very comprehensive as well as

    specific. The duties and responsibilities of employees are fully explained. This

    structure helps a lot to the company in implementation of the strategies.

    Resources

    Ocean Blue has competent financial resources to support the strategies. Human

    resources are also well-managed as professional and competent labor is being

    hired by Ocean Blue. Summation of all these factors will give efficient

    implementation of strategies.

    support of organizational policies

    Synchronization between finance, production, human resources, marketing and

    sales department is required in order to successfully implement the strategies.

    Ocean Blue will try to achieve coordination among all the departments and their

    policies to get fruitful results.

  • 8/9/2019 business plan on water proof mobile

    20/28

    Quality:

    We believe that quality is about meeting and exceeding customer

    expectations. At Ocean Blue, we view quality holistically and as an

    integral part of business management. The quality of products and

    customer experiences depends on the quality of processes, which in turn

    is tied to the quality of management.

    Our key quality targets are:

    to be number one in customer and consumer loyalty

    to be number one in product leadership

    to be number one in operational excellence

    The quality and reliability of our products and services are among the most

    important factors driving customer satisfaction and loyalty. Designing good

    quality products begins with understanding customer requirements and creating

    the best user experience. The whole chain, from suppliers through to R&D,

    operations, sales and distribution to customers, impacts the end-result

    everybody in the chain has a role to play in achieving quality.

    Our products and customer experiences are the results of our everyday

    processes. Process management means finding the simplest way of operating, in

    order to create customer value in a lean manner. Our process thinking coverseverything we do, and processes are continuously improved based on the

    measures and the feedback we receive from our customers.

    Quality in management is vital for leveraging innovations globally and improving

    productivity in general. Our approach to this is platform thinking, process

    management and combining fact-based management with values-based

    leadership. We have developed a key framework for improvement at Ocean Blue,

  • 8/9/2019 business plan on water proof mobile

    21/28

    which we call the 'Self-Regulating Management System'. It's about management

    practices that allow us to run our business in a consistent, effective and fact-

    based manner.

    Commitment to quality improvement is a continuous management process. It is

    both a business strategy and a personal responsibility, and it is a part of our

    culture and values. But at the end of the day, quality improvement is much more

    than something we can quantify in words or pictures. It is an attitude a

    mindset. By taking quality personally we are able to deliver world-class quality to

    our customers. It is our source of inspiration, energy and excitement.

    Information System:

    Talkitive TV guide:

    The Program Guide Information System is an electronic call-in demo application

    offering a variety of information about television programs over the phone. A

    user may call the program guide and obtain the desired program information by

    conversing with the system in complete natural sentences - just as one would

    speak with another person. The current demo application is able to handle two

    languages, English and Finnish, and can switch between them at any point in the

    dialogue.

    Speak freely with the system

    The Natural Language Understanding (NLU) portion of the system handles the

    voice interface and information retrieval. The NLU aims for human-computer

    interaction similar to human-human conversation. The user is not restricted to a

    particular vocabulary, but s/he may make a request using complete natural

    sentences. The statistical approaches used for the speech recognition and

    understanding enable the system to understand sentences that it has not

    encountered before, but which are within the domain of the application. Thus,

    NLU crucially differs from grammar-based implementations where users can only

    use certain words or phrases in a pre-defined order. Natural Language

  • 8/9/2019 business plan on water proof mobile

    22/28

    Understanding is, therefore, a step towards more user-friendly human-computer

    interaction.

    The development of a multilingual program guide, with which people can freely

    use more than one language during a phone call, naturally sets further

    requirements on the implementation, such as identifying the language that the

    user is currently speaking, and consequently, providing the answer in the

    correctly identified language.

    Ask for what you want:

    From the user's viewpoint, there are two steps in retrieving program information.

    First, the user may request TV programs based on one or a combination of the

    listing parameters. Then, s/he can either select a program from the list offered to

    get further information, or s/he might choose to ask for a new listing. The

    program guide information system is designed to allow the user to switch the

    topic at any point of the conversation, i.e. the system does not require the user

    to follow a certain dialogue path.

    The Program Guide Information System also contains personalization features.

    The user may set his/her preferences (e.g. program types, channels, performers)

    via a web site, which can be recalled the next time she calls the system. By

    taking into account the user's preferences, the NLU system can reorganize its

    responses for enhanced usability. That means instead of providing the programs

    in the chronological order, the programs best fulfilling the user's personal

    preferences will be listed first.

    The Program Guide System utilizes IBMs ViaVoice toolkit, which contains the

    telephony tools and a large vocabulary speech recognition engine (IBM's

    ViaVoice Telephony Tools) as well as the tools for the NLU development (IBM's

    ViaVoice Telephony Natural Language Tools).

    Data base information system

    Collection of data stored on a computer storage medium in a common

    pool for access on an as-needed basis. The same pool of information can

    serve many applications, even those not anticipated at the time the

    database was created. In our company this system will be used. The

    customer information is retrievable for each application from a shared file

    that is not dependent upon the application programs for its structure.

    Our focus for innovation and technology

    Were committed to developing simple, cost-efficient, flexible products,

    services and solutions that deliver immediate improvements to our

    customers networks and services.

    The networks of the future

    The main challenges for todays operators Major technological challenges yet to be solved in the telecommunications

    industry

    What makes our vision different?

    The networks of the future

    Our aim is to ensure IP applications are as truly mobile as voice in all

    mobile networks. We want consumers to be able to carry the full range of

    Internet applications with them, wherever they may be. Consumers will

    have access to services even if they change their access technologies. So,

    they will always have access, i.e. to community services, peer-to-peer

    applications, and a single phonebook and file system whether they

    We believe Ocean Blue Services Anywhere will comprise four key

    elements:

    Service mobility Consumers able to enjoy the same services over

    various fixed and mobile networks, e.g. 2G/3G/LTE, xDSL/PON,

    WLAN, WiMAX.

    User mobility The same services available via various devices such

    as PC client, TV with Set Top Box, mobile device, fixed phone, etc.

    Terminal mobility Any device connecting easily to various access

    networks, in the same way as mobile devices connect via GSM,

    UMTS and WLAN access networks.

    Flexible business models Delivery of services can vary from via

    own fixed and mobile access networks, partners access networks,

    intranet/internet, own services, business partner services,

    subscribers services, or services from unknown parties over the

    internet.

    The main challenges for todays operators

    The challenges operators face today are the main drivers for our

    innovation and R&D activities planning. At present, the main challenges

    include being able to:

    generate profitable new business from value-added services reduce management requirements despite increasing network

    complexity

    Major technological challenges yet to be solved in the

    telecommunications industry

    We believe there are three major technological challenges yet to be

    addressed:

    To build a system where new functions and applications on all layers

    can be plugged in and out via simple software upgrades and can

    scaled up and down from a couple of hundred to millions of users

    To base all telecommunications hardware on standardized platforms

    To develop a fully-distributed telecommunications architecture

    Ocean Blue Network is committed to developing technologies that help

    drive down our customers operating expenditure (OPEX). We aim to equip

    them with the best tools to capitalize fully on emerging and niche

    markets. And we are constantly evolving our services to help improve the

    quality and variety offered to the customers. In general, our infrastructure

    components are compatible with any end-user device.

    Our View:

    We believe the role of our technology is to always help simplify complex

    issues for our customers. Innovative technologies must help our

    customers adapt to quickly changing markets. As operator and service

    provider business models flatten and become less monolithic, we believe:

    value-added functions in core networks will soon be pushed to the

    edges

    service control will simplify and become distributed

    the IP transport layer will handle full user mobility

    What makes our vision different?

  • 8/9/2019 business plan on water proof mobile

    26/28

    Our vision is aimed directly at helping operators achieve seamless

    convergence. We focus on providing our customers with precisely the

    solutions they need to deliver a true end-to-end offering to consumers.

    And we believe strongly that every innovation should help them diversify

    their businesses effectively, efficiently and profitably.We draw on our

    experience of delivering world-class fixed and mobile networks and

    solutions and, of course, to transform these innovations into working

    technologies that deliver outstanding results.

    Tactics of control:

    Following tactics will be used by Ocean Blue in order to control and compare

    performance of the company:

    1. administrative control

    2. self control

    In our company we will exercise administrative control through planning systemswhich control the allocation of resources and monitors the utilization of resources

    against the plan. It will be centralized system in which the standardization of

    work procedure is paramount.

    On the other hand o will try to implement self control based on their own

    interpretation of correct behavior as the company is technology based so that

    professional people are will work here under the professional code of ethics.

    Performance measurement in nearby future

    In coming years we will strive to achieve efficient level of performance.

    In order to achieve this, Ocean Blue will use certain parameters:

    comparison with competitors sales

    comparison with forecasted sales

    sale by type of customers

    Since, our company is new we cannot actually give the explanation of how we

    can measure the performance of the company. Therefore, we mention the

    criteria on the basis of which we will measure the performance in the nearby

    future.
