The Case of AcuScan, Inc.

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that the case problem is that AcuScan wants to make the transition into the retail market with a new product while maintaining its traditional product quality and excellent work environment. The author identifies the conflict among the company managers and the budgetary restraints. The paper concludes that the new project needs long range rather than the discussed short-term marketing goal; however, a better idea would be to try and find new markets for the existing product IScanner.

From the Paper:

"The CEO Cliff made a logical decision based on AcuScan's current position in the market and present financial condition and future outlook. However, it seems a little optimistic to believe that it would be possible to launch and develop a new product on a small budget, when the company is facing a budget crunch. Pat's suggestion that the new product needed to be launched in a new market was sound. It is better to be the first to launch a new product in a new market than to be last to launch an old product in an old market."
