[23:37:26] linda4: usually comes in exams
[23:38:04] linda4: whether it be because of Culture, leadership etc
[23:38:30] linda4: changes in these areas tend to not go well if not planned
properly
[23:39:27] linda4: Lewin Change model
[23:39:49] linda4: can be used as a means of ensuring successful change
[23:41:04] zara_n: unfreeze
[23:41:07] zara_n: explain
[23:41:09] zara_n: put in place
[23:41:11] zara_n: refreeze..
[23:41:19] zara_n: lewin's change model
[23:42:18] linda4: do u want me to explain it?
[23:43:45] linda4: there is 3 stages in the process of change
[23:43:53] linda4: I) Unfreezing
[23:44:05] linda4: 2)Change
[23:44:14] linda4: 3)Refreezing
[23:50:39] nshashmi: thatsthe lewin model
[23:51:01] linda4: yes Lewin change model
[23:51:08] nshashmi: is there further complexity in that ...or thats all
[23:51:19] nshashmi: cos i am coming across it for the first time
[23:53:34] nshashmi: lin you got anything more to say on this model ..
[23:54:03] linda4: {nshashmi} sorry I was going through unfreezing with Zara
[23:54:07] nshashmi: can you show us in ilustraion
[23:54:15] nshashmi: ok cool

[23:54:35] linda4: Lewin's change model
[23:54:39] zara_n: thanks linda..
[23:54:43] zara_n: that was great
[23:54:44] zara_n: :)
[23:54:54] linda4: np
[23:54:58] linda4: now there is 3 stages in the process of change
[23:55:09] nshashmi: i'm all ears
[23:55:13] linda4: we start with (1) Unfreezing
[23:55:28] linda4: now to illustrate this model better for me
[23:55:49] linda4: I put it in perspective to students who continually fail the ACCAexams
[23:56:04] nshashmi: ok
[23:56:04] linda4: so at the first stage
[23:56:11] nshashmi: talking about me ..huh
[23:56:27] nshashmi: :)
[23:56:35] linda4: lol
[23:56:59] nshashmi: UNFREEZING......1st stage
[23:57:05] linda4: at this stage a shake up is needed
[23:57:14] nshashmi: ok
[23:57:27] linda4: perhaps triggered by declining results at the ACCA exams
[23:57:35] linda4: or continually failure
[23:57:45] linda4: continual*
[23:57:50] nshashmi: ok
[23:58:21] linda4: the result is an acceptance that the existing structure and ways
are not working
[23:58:23] linda4: meaning
[23:58:30] linda4: too much liming

[23:58:36] linda4: not studying enough hours
[23:58:49] linda4: etc
[23:59:34] linda4: so to get people ready for change it is necessary to develop an
awareness of the necessity of change
[23:59:41] linda4: nature of change needed
[23:59:59] linda4: methods planned to achieve the change
[00:00:31] linda4: Ways that the progress will be planned and monitored
[00:00:31] nshashmi: like my mom telling me to wake up ...and dont waste time
cos its costing me
[00:00:35] linda4: yes
[00:00:38] linda4: exactly
[00:00:42] linda4: like Parents
[00:00:48] linda4: true friends etc
[00:00:50] nshashmi: ok
[00:01:26] linda4: this model can be used not only for exams but for businesses
[00:01:34] nshashmi: ok
[00:01:37] linda4: I just used ACCA as an eg
[00:01:41] linda4: so we can relate
[00:01:44] nshashmi: i got LIN
[00:02:05] linda4: the 2nd stage is the change
[00:02:32] linda4: so the first stage was like an intervention stage
[00:02:48] nshashmi: ok
[00:02:52] linda4: {linda4} what do u think change would be about ?
[00:03:01] linda4: {nshashmi} that was for u
[00:03:03] linda4: lol

[00:03:55] nshashmi: method for a change

[00:05:02] linda4: {nshashmi} yes
[00:05:08] linda4: in the first stage

[01:23:05] zara_n: yes yes
[01:23:08] linda4: no longer had the advantage of low cost since technology has
evelove resulting in changes in products and how they were purchase
[01:23:09] zara_n: he celebrated
[01:23:12] patrots269: no longer had the strong marketing skills that once made
him adventurous
[01:23:13] zara_n: insteas of investing!
[01:23:43] amrita: he was becoming old i guess lol
[01:23:45] zara_n: or maybe he had the skills
[01:23:52] zara_n: but it no longer worked
[01:23:58] linda4: cutomers no longer wanted conventional audio products fromspecialist shops if they can get products of higher reliability
[01:23:59] zara_n: situation changed
[01:24:00] patrots269: Gradually therefore Rick lost touch with both the customer
base and the wider society
[01:24:13] patrots269: {linda4} yes

[01:27:59] nshashmi: or antique shope
[01:28:07] linda4: lol
[01:28:09] zara_n: ok part B people!
[01:28:11] nshashmi: or may be in granny's room
[01:28:16] zara_n: the factors?
[01:28:17] zara_n: i say
[01:28:19] zara_n: in 1988
[01:28:20] linda4: first though what is a franchise
[01:28:24] zara_n: the business were profitable
[01:28:27] zara_n: ohh
[01:28:31] zara_n: a franchise..
[01:28:59] zara_n: franchisor sells the right to operate under his name sell his
product to the franchisee
[01:29:00] linda4: if u tell the examiner what it is not only does he has a better
understanding but also it helps u answer the question
[01:29:26] nshashmi: LIN like a KFC or Mcdonal you open in your street
[01:29:36] nshashmi: you pay KFC for using their name
[01:29:56] zara_n: you have to follow the guidelines of kfc
[01:30:02] zara_n: use their materials
[01:30:08] zara_n: well ingredients
[01:30:19] zara_n: pay a fee to kfc
[01:30:24] zara_n: for using its name
[01:30:31] linda4: A franchise is an agreement between 2 parties which allows one
party (ie the franchisee) to market product or services using the TRADEMARK and
OPERATING METHODS of the other party ( the Franchisor)

[01:30:34] nshashmi: so you saying LIN that we could get marks just by explaing
these technical terms
[01:30:45] nshashmi: defining terms
[01:30:55] zara_n: yes do we get marks for them?
[01:31:11] linda4: {nshashmi} not too sure about that but it helps answering
[01:31:19] linda4: rather than devling right in
[01:31:26] nshashmi: lets ask PAT
[01:31:33] nshashmi: whadday say PAT
[01:31:38] nshashmi: about it
[01:31:54] patrots269: {linda4} is right it helps
[01:32:06] nshashmi: ok
[01:32:07] zara_n: hmmm ok
[01:32:20] patrots269: Rock Bottom was a strong brand in the early period
(essential for a franchise to be successful)
[01:32:34] zara_n: dats factor no 1
[01:32:38] zara_n: hmm
[01:33:33] nshashmi: so thats why he realised in 3rd stage that franchisingwould'nt work
[01:33:47] nshashmi: beacause it is no longer a strong brand
[01:33:54] linda4: I laughed at this being an option to even begin with...who would
even want to be a franchisee of an unsuccessful, outdated style Co.
[01:34:28] linda4: you would have to follow their Operating methods
[01:34:31] nshashmi: lols LIN
[01:34:35] nshashmi: well pointed out
[01:34:38] patrots269: still had a favourable reputation
[01:34:40] linda4: which is presently not successful at all
[01:35:00] linda4: yeah but there's this thing call COMPETITION
[01:35:37] linda4: and they are doing it better...more efficient, reliable products etc

[01:35:44] linda4: just my opinion
[01:35:49] patrots269: ok
[01:35:53] zara_n: reputation?
[01:36:15] patrots269: Rock Bottom had a ready made management team
[01:36:32] nshashmi: explain plz
[01:36:36] linda4: Turnover and profitability plummeted as well
[01:36:44] zara_n: explain..
[01:37:12] patrots269: who were both successful & financially could acquire their
shops
[01:37:18] linda4: {patrots269} would this be one of their Capabilities
[01:37:59] linda4: for the point u made on ready made management
[01:38:03] patrots269: we need to explain difference in 1988 & 207
[01:38:10] patrots269: 2007
[01:38:18] linda4: {patrots269} yes agree
[01:38:44] zara_n: ah yes
[01:38:44] linda4: I was talking 20x7 why it would be unlikely to be successful
[01:38:45] zara_n: in 88
[01:38:46] patrots269: above no longer existed in 2007
[01:38:52] zara_n: had a successful mgt team
[01:39:00] zara_n: yes
[01:39:02] zara_n: agree
[01:39:06] zara_n: now understood
[01:39:09] zara_n: agree agree
[01:39:17] zara_n: 2007 had nothing of these
[01:39:35] linda4: lol
[01:39:40] linda4: now at all
[01:39:41] nshashmi: agree

[01:39:44] linda4: non8
[01:39:46] linda4: non*
[01:40:01] patrots269: in 1988 Rock Botto was ahead of its time
[01:40:26] zara_n: in 2007 it was behind..
[01:40:28] zara_n: lol
[01:40:35] zara_n: yeah
[01:40:49] zara_n: they would have agreed happily to the franchise
[01:41:10] zara_n: it wud have been like managers owning their shop
[01:41:11] patrots269: but in 2007 & the dot com era Rock Bottom failed to take
advantage of this change in distribution channels
[01:41:17] zara_n: profitable shops
[01:41:49] zara_n: we said it all?
[01:41:50] linda4: yes I wrote he didn't have a leader type strategy
[01:41:56] patrots269: be right back
[01:41:58] nshashmi: ok so to say....internet sale was no longer a unqiue method
[01:42:17] zara_n: it was more like a must at this time
[01:42:19] zara_n: u didnt have it
[01:42:21] zara_n: u die
[01:42:24] zara_n: well not literally
[01:42:25] zara_n: lolz
[01:42:34] nshashmi: {linda4} explaing your point plz
[01:43:37] linda4: Leader strategy is where it would have high cost of R&D,
potential high rewards
[01:44:04] linda4: in other words Rick should have invested in technology
[01:44:27] zara_n: leader type strategy?
[01:44:31] zara_n: where does comes from?
[01:44:39] zara_n: details lin?

8/8/2019 p3 Open Tuition Chat Session Question 2 ROCK BOTTOM JUNE 2009
34/40
[01:44:58] nshashmi: {linda4} please elaborate more on this
[01:44:59] linda4: there is Leader strategy and Follower strategy
[01:45:04] nshashmi: ok
[01:45:11] zara_n: ok
[01:45:30] linda4: one leads the other follows
[01:45:37] nshashmi: ok
[01:45:39] zara_n: sorry to interrupt
[01:45:44] zara_n: what part it comes from?
[01:45:49] linda4: however those that leads tends to take more risk
[01:45:54] zara_n: under what title/chapter?
[01:45:55] linda4: think of Apple
[01:45:58] linda4: they lead
[01:46:08] nshashmi: ok more risk more return
[01:46:25] linda4: and then other follow suit
[01:46:29] linda4: {nshashmi} yes
[01:46:34] nshashmi: for a franchisee people would be risk averse
[01:46:46] zara_n: they r followers
[01:46:50] zara_n: franchise i mean
[01:46:51] nshashmi: mean they want lest risk
[01:46:56] nshashmi: less
[01:47:01] zara_n: the franchisor was the leader
[01:47:20] linda4: {zara_n} under the chapter Strategic capability
[01:47:28] zara_n: ok thanks..
[01:48:00] linda4: this is how strategy is approached
[01:48:02] nshashmi: {linda4} let me get it straight ......its part b we are
discussing now
[01:48:21] nshashmi: why wwould franchising fail in 2007
-
8/8/2019 p3 Open Tuition Chat Session Question 2 ROCK BOTTOM JUNE 2009
35/40
[01:48:33] linda4: no no I was just talking about Rick/ Rock Bottom in general
[01:48:50] nshashmi: aa ok
[01:49:04] linda4: because he was not a leader in his approach
[01:49:24] nshashmi: well i guess PAT made a few points for part b
[01:49:27] zara_n: he was not?
[01:49:28] linda4: it allowed other competitors to take adv. of opportunities before
him
[01:49:33] zara_n: a leader?
[01:49:38] zara_n: ah in 2007
[01:49:42] zara_n: that yes
[01:49:44] zara_n: agree
[01:49:51] nshashmi: got it LIN
[01:50:34] nshashmi: and that could be a point ....cos people wanted to follow
leader in 1988 ..franchsing would work
[01:50:37] linda4: {nshashmi} {zara_n} I just have to say I'm glad u guys came
and you were so productive as well
[01:50:45] nshashmi: but in 2007 his leader role was gone
[01:50:58] nshashmi: so was oppertunity to franchise
[01:51:30] nshashmi: {linda4} lols ...yu would hardly say that about me LIN
[01:51:50] linda4: yes it would have worked in 1988 back then conventional audio
was the it thing
[01:51:59] nshashmi: shall we wait for PAT or do the part B
[01:52:13] patrots269: ok i am back
[01:52:15] zara_n: am glad i came too
[01:52:17] linda4: but in 2007 ppl are no longer demanding this
[01:52:23] zara_n: linda was of a great help
[01:52:29] zara_n: n hashmi u too..
[01:52:32] patrots269: good job

[01:52:35] nshashmi: ok WCB pat
[01:52:52] nshashmi: reasons behind " unlikely to be successful in 2007.
[01:53:24] linda4: {patrots269} I want to do another question like this ...with
leadership style in it etc
[01:54:54] patrots269: how about rewards and performance measures
[01:55:03] linda4: yeah kool
[01:55:19] linda4: all who say I?
[01:55:21] nshashmi: in 2007 SPECIALIST SHOPS was not a value for sale.....
[01:55:50] nshashmi: people would go to genreal stores to buy ...so franchshing
would fail
[01:55:51] linda4: {nshashmi} no it was not
[01:56:02] zara_n: in 2007 RELIABILITY was the thing that sells..
[01:56:20] linda4: yes
[01:56:41] nshashmi: reliability ....how does that relates to franchising
[01:56:51] zara_n: no
[01:56:56] zara_n: not franchising!
[01:57:00] zara_n: the products!
[01:57:12] zara_n: customers required reliable products
[01:57:16] nshashmi: i was thinking about part B....
[01:57:32] zara_n: me too :/
[01:57:52] zara_n: rock bottom sold specialist products
[01:57:57] linda4: she making the point as to why the convential method would not
be successful in turn franchising would not have an opportunity to be taken
advantage of
[01:58:02] zara_n: n wat was selling in 2007 was reliable products
[01:58:11] zara_n: reason why franchise would have been to no good
[01:58:14] linda4: conventional*
[01:58:18] nshashmi: {zara_n} got it...rick should have introdued new product
