Company A
Confidential Instructions for Bpk/Ibu Dwi (Company A)
You are an officer in Planning Department of Company A, a respected Indonesian manufacturer of many products including PCB. Several months ago, you made an agreement with the Singaporean subsidiary of the Indonesian PCB maker, PT Labtech, to produce a kind of Integrated Circuit (IC) that only your company can produce at the agreed price of $15/unit for 60.000 units annually. Your superiors made it clear that, even though your unit would probably lose money at the agreed price, you should, for purposes of deepening the company A dan PT Labtech relationship, furnish the IC to PT Labtech – and try your very best to reduce your losses as much as possible.
It turns out that due to technical problems, your company could not produce the IC itself. It was acceptable, however, to find another qualified manufacturer to work out a contract production arrangement for the first year until your company would be able to produce. For a variety of reasons, only one other firm, a bitter rival of your company, would agree. After long negotiations, the price was firmly fixed at $35/unit – thus you would have to pay $2.1 million for that year’s production.
You visited PT Labtech where you admitted some problems with your production process but you gave your assurance that the ICs would be delivered as promised. The purchasing manager of PT Labtech expressed his complete confidence that company A, your company, would come through. He did, however, describe in extremely positive terms that a new company, Mapletech, just produced the same ICs as your company had been producing. He even gave you the phone number of the Marketing Director of Mapletech, Mr. Ross.
After setting up the meeting with Ross, you called your superior. He said that, even if your manufacturing record was poor, you could redeem yourself by negotiating a good deal with Mapletech. With specifications, delivery schedule, and quality already fixed by PT Labtech, you are solely concerned about price. Any price less than $35/unit would permit you to do better. The decision to proceed and the price would have to be set today given your extraordinary tight lead time left for design modification and preparing the required production line. Thus your superior stressed, you should make any such deal; you would in any case be judged by how much better you did than this price. Ideally, you could work out an agreement by which your company would even make a profit. As you wait for Ross, you are thinking through your approach.
