Background: Johnson & Johnson is a global market leader when it comes to Baby products including Wipes & Toiletries (Shampoo, Conditioner, Powder, Moisturizer)
Situation: A recent accusation was risen against J&J highlighting that their products contain Talcum Powder which contains cancerous substances which later-on reflect onto the baby after usage. This accusation was scientifically proven to be FALSE. However, effect of worldwide media negatively impacted the general perception of consumers & thus, is still resulting in J&J shares decline. One vital market where this accusation was blown out of proportion is India. The average Indian consumer is believed to avoid any J&J product today as a result of the false news.
Question: What can J&J propose as a long-lasting, sustainable solution, in terms of population awareness in the UAE in order to bring back the faith of the Indian consumer and win them over again from competitors?
HINT: A good example would be the way Coca Cola advertisements & commercials appeal to sympathy & emotions, giving consumers the perception that they care on a personal level.

In the fashion business, faux pas can be costly. In order to hem back the risk writes The Wall Street Journal (Sept. 9, 2013), some retailers are increasingly turning to trend forecasting and analytics (the topic of Chapter 4). For an average annual fee of $7,000-$15,000, customers get access to forecasts of fashion trends and data offering ideas for colors, fabrics, and cuts. Fashion companies use the data to plan their latest collection or show.
“Fashion forecasters have always been used but they’re more accessible now because of the technology,” says a Marks & Spencer exec. “They are important, not always to lead but to re-evaluate and help confirm you’re on the right track.”
Forecasters claim to save their clients travel expenses, the cost of freelancers paid to photograph trendy people, and time spent trawling the vast cache of fashion data on the Internet. “We can’t get rid of risk but we can mitigate risk,” says the CEO of the forecasting firm Stylesight.
“Forecasters take the information and package it in a way that speaks the language of the retailers and manufacturers. Then it’s our job to decide what makes sense for our business; we have to filter it again,” says Kohl’s VP. “Fashion moves so quickly. Companies like Stylesight, which are updated every day, are really useful in order to make sure we have the right information. They offer us an industry eye on all of the information, broken down by print, color, and classification like sweaters of woven tops.”
Retailers say the information forecasters provide has become an important part of how they tap consumers, who spend less, shop online more and demand the latest outfits in increasingly tight time frames.
Discussion questions:
1. Why do large retailers like Macy’s and Kohl’s need forecasts of fashion demands?
2. What forecasting techniques discussed in Chapter 4 can be applied to this problem?
