31 OBSTACLES Impact on Swatch APPLE EXPANSION PRODUCT FAILURE COMPETITOR ACTIONS Probability

32 OBSTACLE Apple Expansion Apple can move into the same space and imitate MITIGATION: Simplify products and make them practical to consumer needs

33 OBSTACLE Product Failure The product launch could be a failure MITIGATION: Prior to manufacturing and launch, conduct extensive polls of consumers, use R&D core competency to provide innovative products reflecting the consumer needs

34 OBSTACLE Competitor Actions The competitors can take the same path or even some of the presented alternatives MITIGATION: For the smart watch segment, use multiple brands in the luxury, low segment so that dependence on one brand is low If competitors partner with Apple, leverage quality and luxury brands in the marketing approach If competitors focus on watches only, maintain current operations and use marketing plans to separate the luxury watch brands from the smart watch products.

RELATIONS - Known for quality - Maintain relations CHANNELS - B2B - Retail - Online ACTIVITIES SEGMENTS - Sports - Techies - High earners - Traditionalist COSTS - Normal costs REVENUE - Dropping revenues due to decreased sales
