INTEGRATED MARKETING COMMUNICATION CASE STUDY

BMW is a German multinational company which produces luxury cars. BMW vehicles are sold mostly to consumers who look for high standards for quality, luxury, and performance which BMW is known for. In Melbourne, there are several BMW dealerships and most new car sales took place through these dealerships after customers take a test drive and have an opportunity to inspect the vehicle and consider different options available. Due to the COVID-19 restrictions, car dealerships including, BMW showrooms, are closed in Melbourne since 6 August. However, the customers may request a test drive or arrange to purchase a car over the phone or reach out to a salesperson via other online methods. This situation will likely continue until December 2020. How could BMW dealerships in Melbourne use the Integrated Marketing Communication approach and its positive brand image to maintain car sales during this period?

Base your answer on information available online and your observations and support it with the theoretical knowledge acquired in the Unit.

Above critical thinking case study and you need analyse it with relevant Integrated Marketing Communication theory learned to identify solutions to the problems in the scenario.

While on vacation, Kyle Kingston, the president and chief executive officer of Remstat, Inc., is called by the CEO of Viokam Corporation, who asks Kingston if Remstat would be interested in buying 25 percent of the outstanding shares of Viokam. Remstat is a billion dollar conglomerate which has contemplated acquiring Viokam for some time. Kingston tells Viokam's CEO that Remstat is not interested. Kingston tells Viokam’s CEO, however, that KKIM, Inc., would be willing to buy the shares of Viokam. Kingston is the 100 percent shareholder of KKIM. Viokam sells the shares to KKIM for $35 million. A year later, KKIM sells the shares for $55 million to a mutual fund company. When Remstat's directors discover KKIM's purchase and sale of the Viokam shares, they bring an action against Kingston on behalf of Remstat. Which of the following is correct?

  1. Kingston may be held liable to Remstat because he usurped a corporate opportunity.
  2. Kingston may not be held liable to Remstat because he became aware of this opportunity outside the scope of his duties as an officer of Remstat.
  3. Kingston may not be held liable to Remstat because he acted within the discretion afforded him under the business judgment rule.
  4. Kingston may be held liable to Remstat because he exceeded his authority to act for the corporation.

Sterling, Inc. is a manufacturer of state-of-the-art computers. For the past ten years, Sterling has acquired all of its microchips from NoBugs Corporation, the only producer of chips meeting Sterling's high specifications. The relationship has been mutually profitable. Sterling could not have built its reputation as an industry leader without NoBugs's reliable and consistently high-quality products; Sterling's business has enabled NoBugs to grow rapidly while providing its investors with an attractive rate of return. Some months ago, several of Sterling's computers exploded shortly after installation. Upon investigation, Sterling discovered that tiny imperfections in NoBugs's microchips had aggravated a dormant design defect in the computers, causing the explosions. Analysis of the chips indicated that they were indeed below specifications and that the imperfections were caused by a slight miscalibration of NoBugs's encoding equipment. NoBugs recalibrated the equipment and promptly resumed production of perfect chips. Sterling's losses from the explosions - lost profits, out-of-pocket costs associated with compensating customers for the explosions, and injury to business reputation - are estimated to exceed $20 million. Sterling and NoBugs disagree on the amount of the loss for which NoBugs should be responsible. Sterling has a strong legal case for breach of contract against NoBugs. Sterling's CEO is considering a lawsuit. She asks you to prepare a report discussing litigation strategy and the advantages and disadvantages of litigation; and discussing pretrial planning should the company opt for litigation.

The Dean of ASBE School of Business is concerned that grades in the MBA program are distributed appropriately. Too many high grades or too many low grades would pose a problem. We wish to test the claim that the mean GPA of ASBE students is smaller than 3.6 at the .01 significance level.

The null and alternative hypothesis would be:

  • H0:μ=3.6
    Ha:μ<3.6
  • H0:p=3.64/4
    Ha:p≠3.64/4
  • H0:p=3.6/4

  • H0:p=3.6/4
    Ha:p>3.6/4
  • H0:μ=3.6
    Ha:μ>3.6
  • H0:p=3.6/4
    Ha:p<3.6/4
  • H0:μ=3.6
    Ha:μ≠3.6
  • The test is:

    two-tailed

    right-tailed

    left-tailed



    Based on a sample of 20 student grades, the sample mean GPA was 3.55 with a standard deviation of 0.08

    The test statistic is:  (Round to 3 decimals)

    Based on this we:
  • Fail to reject the null hypothesis
  • Reject the null hypothesis

A shareholders' group is lodging a protest against your company. The shareholders group claimed that the mean tenure for a chief exective office (CEO) was at least 9 years. A survey of 59 companies reported in The Wall Street Journal found a sample mean tenure of 7.3 years for CEOs with a standard deviation of s=s= 5 years (The Wall Street Journal, January 2, 2007). You don't know the population standard deviation but can assume it is normally distributed.

You want to formulate and test a hypothesis that can be used to challenge the validity of the claim made by the group, at a significance level of α=0.01α=0.01. Your hypotheses are:

      Ho:μ=9Ho:μ=9
      Ha:μ<9Ha:μ<9

What is the test statistic for this sample?
test statistic =  (Report answer accurate to 3 decimal places.)

What is the p-value for this sample?
p-value =  (Report answer accurate to 4 decimal places.)  

The p-value is...

  • less than (or equal to) αα
  • greater than αα



This test statistic leads to a decision to...

  • reject the null
  • accept the null
  • fail to reject the null



As such, the final conclusion is that...

  • There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the population mean is less than 9.
  • There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the population mean is less than 9.
  • The sample data support the claim that the population mean is less than 9.
  • There is not sufficient sample evidence to support the claim that the population mean is less than 9.

Shamrock Corporation is preparing the comparative financial statements for the annual report to its shareholders for fiscal years ended May 31, 2020, and May 31, 2021. The income from operations for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2020, was $1,818,000 and income from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2021, was $2,424,000. In both years, the company incurred a 10% interest expense on $2,424,000 of debt, an obligation that requires interest-only payments for 5 years. The company experienced a loss from discontinued operations of $575,000 on February 2021. The company uses a 20% effective tax rate for income taxes. The capital structure of Shamrock Corporation on June 1, 2019, consisted of 1,037,000 shares of common stock outstanding and 19,100 shares of $50 par value, 6%, cumulative preferred stock. There were no preferred dividends in arrears, and the company had not issued any convertible securities, options, or warrants. On October 1, 2019, Shamrock sold an additional 511,000 shares of the common stock at $20 per share. Shamrock distributed a 20% stock dividend on the common shares outstanding on January 1, 2020. On December 1, 2020, Shamrock was able to sell an additional 785,000 shares of the common stock at $22 per share. These were the only common stock transactions that occurred during the two fiscal years.

Determine the weighted-average number of shares that Shamrock Corporation would use in calculating earnings per share for the fiscal year ended:

Weighted-average number of shares
(1) May 31, 2020
(2) May 31, 2021

Prepare, in good form, a comparative income statement, beginning with income from operations, for Shamrock Corporation for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2020, and May 31, 2021. This statement will be included in Shamrock’s annual report and should display the appropriate earnings per share presentations. (Round earnings per share to 2 decimal places, e.g. $1.55.)
