They examine teeth, take X-rays, clean teeth and talk to patients about proper dental hygiene techniques. The monotony can take a toll. It can lead to burnout as hygienists find that the repetitive work becomes dull, unchallenging and uninteresting. The job also lacks variety. Hygienists perform the same tasks at every clinic...

Analysis Product Consumer attitudes towards oral hygiene are changing in India as noted in a PEST analysis (appendix 1), which means Cottle-Taylor need to examine their current product portfolio to understand where profitable growth opportunity exists. Cottle-Taylor offer a wide range of products under four categories, enabling the brand to reach varied demographics, a strength highlighted in the Strengths and Weaknesses Analysis (appendix 2). The size and amount of product variety available in each range differs which as well as consumer demographics explains the difference in total sales for each range. Notably there is unequal share of profit within each range too; consulting the Product Line Analysis (Appendix 3), for example shows that 50% of the mid-range toothbrushes account for 73% of the total range’s profit. This suggests Cottle-Taylor have one or two very strong beacon products; however it simultaneously raises questions about the rest of the product offering. A BCG Matrix (appendix 4) highlights which of Cottle-Taylor’s products are currently the most successful in India in...
