Case Study - World Indigo (Role: Critique)
A 6 person team named hexagonICT has been made to do business case analysis of the whole course. In third week we played the critique role on World Indigo case analysis. Initially we were confused to which team we will criticize. We prepared our analysis on both the teams’ (OcceanSix and VikingShip) presentation and later presented on VikingShip.
The following is a part of our critique analysis of VikingShip presentation.
Analysis
• The points listed under Strengths and Weakness of slide 4 would be Opportunities and Threats as those are external matters to the company and strengths and weakness represents internal matters to the organization
o Few of the missing strengths could be
communication skills of the members of World İndigo as they have coped well with far distance
Management skills and experience
Key decision making
o Few of the missing weaknesses could be
Lack of resources
o Few of the missing threats could be
Airlines and mobile careers were large established and may not want to work with new start-up company like World İndigo
Regulations of the airlines and wireless industries
Difficult to secure partnership with telecommunication companies
o Few of the missing Opportunities could be
Low cost and convenient nanocell technology
No in-flight entertainment system in short-haul aircrafts
FAA regulations were in review and could change in World İndigos favor
Support from CAAS
New market opportunities in ferry like solutions could be used in danger to send distress messages or close circuit television images, ferry tracking system etc.
Better response from other than the traditional Telecom companies
Reality test
Risk Mitigations Contingency
Safety of the aircrafts and passengers Experienced team member about air navigation and related technical matters, proper testing and implementation Insurance
Implementation of global expansion plan Proper planning, proper resources allocation Backup plan
Finally
From the case study it’s obvious that effective partnerships are vital factors for the success of World Indigo’s business. Thus we believe using partnership analysis tool could be a good solution to make the analysis more efficient.

High-Tech Entrepreneurs in Stockholm (Useful Links)
http://www.buyusa.gov/sweden/en/doing_business.html
Market Challenges: Prices are high in Sweden, with Stockholm listed as the number 16th most expensive city according to the Economist Intelligence Unit. This offers both an opportunity in terms of the potential to price products higher, and challenges in terms of the cost of doing business...labor laws create an expensive market for low cost labor...corporate taxes are medium for Europe at about 28 %. VAT taxes of 25% apply for the import or sale of products anytime products change hands.
Market Opportunities: Sweden has one of the most open and competitive markets in the world...there is virtually no corruption...They have a high per capita income and the combined Nordic market of 24 million is the 8th largest economy in the world. It is at the economic center of the Nordic and Baltic world, a market of over 27 million consumers.

The continued growth of the Internet in European homes illustrates this situation: the EU average penetration was 36% in June up from 28% last October. Close to half the EU population has had some experience with the Internet and the percentage of regular users is approaching 40%.
