...DON DON The Case of a Slovenian Gazelle This case study was written by Maja Makovec Brenčič and Monika Lisjak, Faculty of Economics, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, as a part of the Leonardo da Vinci project “Moving towards the case method”. It is intended to be used as a basis for class discussion rather than to illustrate either effective or ineffective handling of a management situation. 1 There was an atmosphere of tension before the management meeting at DON DON headquarters on 24 February 2005. The board members and regional sales managers were impatiently waiting to discover what was on the corporate agenda of Aleš Mozetič, the cofounder and chairman of the board of directors of the DON DON company. When Mozetič, a young, charismatic, and very ambitious manager, rushed into the room, the tension reached its peak. He briefly greeted the small group of highly committed managers and then energetically started his speech: Dear colleagues, we have been in the same boat for a long time. Most of you have known the DON DON company since its earliest stages of development, when my sister and I started the business. I still remember the excitement and the enthusiasm when we returned from visiting our relatives in Canada in 1993 and announced to our parents that we would enter the doughnut business . . . and the fervour while setting up machinery for baking doughnuts in the family garage. This was followed by a phase of intense work to open the first plant in Škofja Loka...

...MOVING CONSUMER GOODS www.ibef.org FAST MOVING CONSUMER GOODS WHY INDIA INDIA COMPETITIVENESS AND COMPARISON WITH THE WORLD MARKETS POLICY TRENDS AND PLAYERS MARKET OPPORTUNITIES FOR INVESTMENT ANNEX: APEX CONTACTS AGENCIES 3 7 9 12 32 38 A report by PricewaterhouseCoopers for IBEF Executive summary The Indian FMCG sector is the fourth largest sector in the economy with a total market size in excess of US$ 13.1 billion. It has a strong MNC presence and is characterised by a wellestablished distribution network, intense competition between the organised and unorganised segments and low operational cost. Availability of key raw materials, cheaper labour costs and presence across the entire value chain gives India a competitive advantage. The FMCG market is set to treble from US$ 11.6 billion in 2003 to US$ 33.4 billion in 2015. Penetration level as well as per capita consumption in most product categories like jams, toothpaste, skin care, hair wash etc in India is low indicating the untapped market potential. Burgeoning Indian population, particularly the middle class and the rural segments, presents an opportunity to makers of branded products to convert consumers to branded products. Growth is also likely to come from consumer 'upgrading' in the matured product categories. With 200 million people expected to shift to processed and packaged food by 2010, India needs around US$ 28 billion of investment in the food-processing industry. FAST MOVING CONSUMER GOODS ...
