Product sales
Modern “organized” retailers would need large real estates in proximities to existing traditional and
Big Bazaar outlets
difficult, expensive and acquiring could be a lengthy proposition.
Poor infrastructure in transportation, service sector, and supply chain to support large scale
“organized” operations.
Government favoring domestic retailers (traditional retailers and currently organized – 2005 to
2009 “window of opportunity”)
further limit the real-estate availability, commanding real estate higher prices, more competition on established
“organized”, and their brand creation and loyalty.
Customers tactile (touch and feel)
Require increased floor space (real-estate) to support open bins or product layout (e:g grains and apparel).
Require additional personnel to assist customers as well as in packaging product for quick, convenient purchasing.
Barriers to Entry for Modern Retailers
Q2. Analyze the environment of the Indian retail industry in late 2005. What
are the major trends and external forces that will impact Big Bazaar’s
business over the next decade? What are the key challenges to their
continued growth?
Question 2: Indian Retail Environment
Indian retail market has been growing at near double digit rate for years
Greater disposable incoming due to growing middle class makes for greater
expectations in the retail experience
i.e. Improved decor and ambience, more streamlined facilities, improved product packaging, etc.
Western cultures influenced greater consumption rates (20-49 year old demographics)
Indian retail market represents a huge portion of India’s GDP (~15%)
Major Retail Trends
Huge increase in home purchasing opens doors in new markets (i.e. home furnishings)
New retail experiences being offered
i.e. Supermarkets, hypermarkets, department stores
Major Retail Trends (cont.)
Severely limited real estate in India, particularly retail malls, restrict Big Bazaar’s ability
to expand its locations to keep up with its frenzied growth
Increased competition, not only by established foreign firms (i.e. Wal-Mart), but also by
increasingly developed domestic firms (i.e. Reliance)
Government easing of restrictions and tariffs on imported goods allow Big Bazaar to
explore new, foreign items to add to their product mix
External Forces
Lower gross margins due to increased competition with other organized retailers (i.e. Reliance)
Employee turnover in a rapidly growing economy (including key executives)
Supply chain burdens; distribution must keep up with inventory demands
Poor infrastructure i.e. Roads, transportation, retail locations
Government regulations on inter-state sales (i.e. Sales taxes not being reimbursed)
Challenges to Continued
Growth
Q3. The case suggests that there was “a window of opportunity from 2005-2009 for
domestic retailers to acquire real estate and roll out stores in a protected
environment”. Assuming that foreign retailers such as Marks & Spencer and Wal-
Mart were allowed to enter the Indian market by 2009, what challenges and barriers to
entry would they face in establishing a viable competitive position in the country?
Question 3: Barriers to Entry
Window of Opportunity 2005 - 2009
Q3. The case suggests that there was “a window of opportunity from 2005-
2009 for domestic retailers to acquire real estate and roll out stores in a
protected environment”.
Ans.
Yes – this time period will allow attententive retailers (Big Bazaar) to
work on their business model, scale their operations, become capital
efficient and further develop infrastructure and increase operational
efficiencies.
Window of Opportunity 2005 - 2009 Q. Assuming that foreign retailers such as Marks & Spencer and Wal-Mart were
allowed to enter the Indian market by 2009, what challenges and barriers to entry would they face in establishing a viable competitive position in the country?
Ans.
FDI limitations on how to enter market
Single Store Format, Franchise Model, JV or Partnership Model
Inadequate infrastructure to support scaling efficient operations
Home country disadvantage
Window of Opportunity 2005 - 2009
Q. What others did you identify?
Compare and Contrast FDI Strategy in China vs.
India
How was it different between the Gome and Big Bazaar Cases?
Why was the Strategy Different?
What were the Motivations?
Q4. The final section of the case ( Charting the Future ) raises a number of issues and
opportunities for Pantaloon. What would you recommend with respect to
(a) expansion and increased market penetration with existing concepts vs. the development of new
concepts;
(b) infrastructure development (supply chain and management systems);
(c) local vs. global sourcing;
(d) availability of qualified labor and management skills;
(e) real estate acquisition; and
(f) pace of growth? Which issues and constraints will be most critical?
Question 4: Charting the Future
Expansion and increased market
penetration with existing concepts:
Development of new concepts:
Introducing more value-add services :
○ Merchandise return privilege
○ Low price guarantee
○ Online opinion-sharing community
○ Customer Satisfaction Guarantee
○ Marketing and advertising campaign
Home furnishing - increasing new homes annually
Acquire real estate for new malls
Expand into Tier 2 or 3 cities
Embarking collaboration with different companies
“Republic Day”- lots of opportunity for growth.
• Develop a new supply chain system and IT
infrastructure
• Increasing the number of stores strategically
• Working with local polices
Existing Concepts vs. New
● Existing supply chain system may be inadequate and unable to keep up with
demand for these specific items with the current system.
○ Investing in a modern supply chain system
○ Integrating advanced IT system
○ Collaboration with supply partners
○ Choosing optimum merchandise mix and lower merchandise/overhead costs
○ Invest in a solid, robust Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system
Infrastructure Development
Local sourcing Gobal sourcing
● Local sourcing makes it convenient
and easier to access to products in
smaller volume.
● Work with manufacturers and C&F
agents to make souring of the product
more efficient and effective
● Internal State Tariff/tax is a problem for
global sourcing and would recommend
working with government.
● Central distribution center could limit
product availability in stores due to
erratic and unpredictable demand.
Local vs. Global Sourcing
● Cooperate with colleges/ universities in training next generation or
college students on retailing, IT, and supply chain management to
replenish human capital to fuel future growth
● Put in place an employee retention program to keep talents stay with the
company
● Performance and Reward System
● Employee Training Program
Qualified Labor & Management Skills
Lack of Malls is a major constraint for organized retail growths
Real estate acquisition is required to sustain the rapid growth of the retail
stores.
Raised funds with other investors other than PRIL
launch 55 new malls across the country
Cooperate with the government in establishing rules that would make it
easier to acquire real estate necessary for their growth/expansion.
Real Estate Acquisitions
• Increases their pace of growth to take advantage of protected period
between 2005-2009 to secure their market share and position.
• Align their growth pace with their need for building the infrastructure and
trained personnel necessary to sustain their growth.
• Significant investment must be made in the short term in order to enable
the company to grow to their full potential.
Pace of Growth
Which issues and constraints will be most critical? Why?
● Supply Chain management: Many of the potential problems and
limitations that the firm will run into in the future can be tied back to
weaknesses in the supply chain management system.
○ IT infrastructure need to support the supply chain management system are
not in place which may impact their expansion as mentioned earlier.
○ Constraints in global and Local sourcing problems ties to supply chain
management where they will affect their management of getting the products
to meet the demand of the consumers.
Critical Issues & Constraints
Supply Chain management:
Inter-state tax problems: If they were not able to resolve this issue, they will not
have enough margin to sustain their business as they only have 15% margin
and the sales tax for products going between 2 states will be 13% plus the
other expenses that associated with transporting the goods to other state as
mentioned in global and local sourcing.
Not able to go around the supply chain (C&F/Distributors) to reduce the cost of
obtaining the consumer goods are big inhibitors for their growth and need to
be addressed.
Implementation of their own supply chain management is very expensive and
they need to justify the benefits that it will bring to Pantaloon.
Critical Issues & Constraints
Increasing competition (both domestic and global):
The ability for multinationals like Wal-Mart and major Indian business house like
Reliance that were likely to enter the market investing in creating their own
supply chain system.
Reliance, India largest business house, planned to invest huge capital in 1,500-
1,800 hypermarkets and employing 400,000 - 500,000 employees with 60
supply centers, and even one of the senior PRIL executive had moved to
Reliance. Operating a similar growth strategy as Reliance, Big Bazaar need to
figure out the differentiated strategy to go to the huge potential retail market in
India.
Critical Issues & Constraints
Increasing competition (both domestic and global):
Foreign competitor like Walmart and Marks & Spencer had planned to enter the
India retail market once the government unleashed their FDI restriction.
Though the limit of understand the india culture, Walmart sophisticated supply
chain management system, warehouse management system and
comprehensive operation system would be a good threat for Big Bazaar retail
business.
To accomplish the target for obtaining high market share and premium gross
competing the domestic and global foreigners,Big Bazaar need to
differenciate their corporation strategy and position to better suit the need for
the comprehensive customers.
Critical Issues & Constraints
Charting the Future
What changes to the business model would be required?
