Case< ·>

Medoc Company The Milling Division of the Medoc Company milled flour and manufactured a variety of con­sumer products from it. Its output was distributed as follows:

1. Approximately 70 percent (by weight) was transferred to the Consumer Products Division and marketed by this division through retail stores. The Consumer Products Division was responsible for these items from the time of packaging; that is, it handled warehousing, ship­ping, billing, and collections as well as advertising and other sales promotion efforts.

2. Approximately 20 percent was sold by the Milling Division as flour to large industrial users.

3. Approximately 10 percent was flour transferred to the Consumer Products Division and sold by that division to industrial users, but in different industries than those serviced directly by the Milling Division.

· Counting each size and pack as one unit, there were several hundred products in the line marketed by the Consumer Products Division. The gross margin percentage on these prod­ucts was considerably higher than that on flour sold to industrial users.

Wheat was purchased by the Grain Department, which was separate from the Milling Di­vision. The price of wheat fluctuated widely and frequently. Other ingredients and supplies were purchased by the Milling Division.

The Milling Division and Consumer Products Division were 2 of 15 investment centers in the Medoc Company.

Products were transferred from the Milling Division to the Consumer Products Division at a unjt price that corresponded to actual cost. There was a variation among products, but on the average, this cost included elements in the following approximate proportions:

Flour Other ingredients and packaging material Labor and variable overhead Nonvariable overhead

Total

30% 25 20 25

100%

Also, 75 percent of the Milling Division's investment was charged to the Consumer Prod­ucts Division in computing the latter's return on investment. This investment consisted of property, plant, equipment, and inventory, all of which was "owned and operated" by the Milling Division.

This transfer price resulted in friction between the Milling Division and the Consumer Products Division, primarily for three reasons.

1. As in many process industries, unit costs were significantly lower when the plant operated at capacity. Indeed, the principal reason for accepting the low-margin industri::d business

This case was prepared by Robert N. Anthony, Harvard Business School. Copyright by the President and Fellows of Har­vard College. Harvard Business School case 1 71-284.

Page 2 of 4

- ----------------- -

was to permit capacity operations. There was general agreement that acceptance of such business at a low margin, or even at something less than full-cost, was preferable to operat­ing at less than capacity. In recent years, the Milling Division had operated at no less than 98 percent of capacity.

The Milling Division alleged that the Consumer Products D,ivision was not aggressive enough in seeking this capacity-filling volume. The Milling Division believed that the Con­sumer Products Division could increase the volume of consumer sales by increasing its mar­keting efforts and by offering more attractive special deals and that it could do more to ob­tain industrial business at a price which, although not profitable, nevertheless would result in a smaller loss than what the Milling Division incurred from sales made to the industry it served. This additional volume would benefit the company, even though it reduced the aver­age profit margin of the Consumer Products Division. The Consumer Products Division ad­mitted that there was some validity in this argument, but pointed out that it had little in­centive to seek such business when it was charged full cost for every unit it sold.

2. The Consumer Products Division complained that although it was charged for 75 percent of the investment in the Milling Division, it did not participate in any of the decisions regard­ing the acquisition of new equipment, inventory levels, etc. It admitted, however, that the people in the Milling Division were technically more competent to make these dedsions.

3. The Consumer Products Division complained that since products were charged to it at ac­tual cost, it must automatically pay for production inefficiencies that were the responsibil­ity of the Milling Division.

A careful study had been made of the possibility of relating the transfer price either to a market price or to the price charged by the Milling Division to its industrial customers. Be­cause of differences in product composition, however, this possibility definitely had been ruled out.

The Consumer Products Division currently earned about 20 percent pretax return on in­vestment, and the Milling Division earned about 6 percent.

Top management of the Medoc Company was convinced that, some way or other, the profit performance of the Milling Division and the Consumer Products Division should be mea­sured separately; that is, it ruled out the simple solution of combining the two divisions for profit-reporting purposes.

One proposal for solving the problem was that the transfer price should consist of two el­ements: (a) a standard monthly charge representing the Consumer Products Division's fair share of the non variable overhead, plus (b) a per-unit charge equivalent to the actual mate­rial, labor, and variable overhead costs applied to each unit billed. Investment would no longer be allocated to the Consumer Products Division. Instead, a standard profit would be included in computing the fixed monthly charge.

The monthly non variable overhead charge would be set annually. It would consist of two parts:

1. A fraction of the budgeted non variable overhead cost of the Milling Division, corresponding to the fraction of products that was estimated would be transferred to the Consumer Prod­ucts Division (about 80 percent). This amount would be changed only if there were changes in wage rates or other significant noncontrollable items during the year.

Page 3 of 4

2. A return of 10 percent on the same fraction of the Milling Division's investment. This was higher than the return that the Milling Division earned on sales to in_dustrial users. The se­lection of 10 percent was arbitrary because there was no way of determining a "true" return on products sold by the Consumer Products Division.

Read the article of "Repositioning of Canara Bank" and answer the questions at the end of case.

Repositioning of Canara Bank

In December 2007, one of the oldest banks in India- Canara bank, undertook a major

rebranding exercise. The rebranding involved a change in the logo, the slogan, the h

house color and, most importantly, a change in what the new credo - "It's easy to

change for those you love." On the occasion of the launch of new logo, Canara Bank

Chairman, M B BRao said, "When the consultants asked me which animal would I

like to Canara Bank to be compared with, I said I want it to be a

Cheetah ....... massive and strong."

Canara Bank was established in 1906 as Canara Bank Hindu Permanent Fund. In

1910, it was renamed as Canara Bank Ltd., it was nationalized in 1969.

In its new rebranded avatar, Canara Bank sports a new logo, color and slogan. The

new logo consists of two entwined triangles- one blue and one yellow. The new logo

Page 1 of3

Marks: 40

(6)

(6)

(6)

(6)

(16)

is aimed at giving this 1 00 year old brand a youthful look. The blue triangle aims at

conveying stability, scale and depth; while the yellow color spreads optimism,

warmth and energy.

The brand is also running a series of advertisement campaigns as a part of its image

makeover. The ads now talk about the "Change". The new communication is based

on the theme that "It is easy to change for someone you care about". And the bank

has changed for the sake of its customers. The advertisements depict various instances

where people change for the sake of their loves ones. One advertisement features a

husband cooking for his wife, another one shows a south Indian mother-in-law who

learns Punjabi as a gesture for welcoming her new daughter-in-law. These ads make

an effective connect with the audience and convey the intended message about the

transformation of Canara Bank.

Canara Bank now has a new slogan "Together We Can". This slogan replaces the

earlier slogan "VikaskeliyeSewarath - Sewakeliye Vikasrath" (Serving to Grow -

Growing to Serve) - where the focus was on service. The new slogan speaks more

about achievement and aspiration, in place of service.

But why should a bank, which has a legacy of over 1 00 years, suddenly decide to

change its brand elements? In the case of Canara Bank, the reason .for this

repositioning exercise can be:

1. Attract Younger Customers: The public sector banks have been affected by

aggressive marketing by new generation banks. The younger generation is

lured away by the new banks which perceived to be more technologically

advanced and customer friendly. To fight the competition, these traditional

banks had to shed their "fuddy-duddy" image in order to be perceived as

modem banks. Heritage bands are usually perceived to be lethargic and

boring. An image makeover, therefore, becomes imperative.

2. Points of Parity: The new generation banks have changed the points of parity

associated with the industry. The older banks have to, therefore, make sure

that they establish parity with the new paradigm.

3. New Set of Brand Values: The changing environment compels brands to

restructure or reinvent a new set of brand values, which prompts them to

embark upon brand repositioning.

Page 2 of3

Rebranding is also quite expensive. The Canara Bank rebranding is expected to cost

around Rs 15 cr. When a brand changes its logo and slogan, all touch points have to

be rebranded. In Canara Bank case, the bank has to change the signages in over 2600

branches and innumerable ATMs. Expenses are also incurred in changing the

stationery, office interior, etc.

Questions

A. Discuss the role of branding for financial services organization. B. Explain the concept of Rebranding. Discuss the strategies adopted by Canara

Bank for Repositioning. C. Discuss the motives for rebranding of Canara Bank. D. Compare the re-branding initiatives of other banks with that of Canara Bank.
