Well, James,
0:01
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
I've had a look over your case study,
0:03
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
and for a first draft,
0:04
S… Speaker 3 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
it looks promising.
0:05
S… Speaker 5 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
Well,
0:06
S… Speaker 6 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
as you know,
0:07
S… Speaker 6 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
Furniture Rossi is an Australian company,
0:09
S… Speaker 6 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
still comparatively small compared to some of the high street stores,
0:13
S… Speaker 6 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
but it's got plans to expand into foreign markets,
0:16
S… Speaker 6 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
so I chose it for that reason.
0:18
S… Speaker 6 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
It's going through a transition.
0:20
S… Speaker 6 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
It's a family -run business aiming to build a global brand.
0:24
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
All right,
0:25
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
and you've made that clear in your writing.
0:28
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
One thing,
0:28
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
though, that I think you've overlooked is why Luca Rossi started a furniture
0:33
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
company here in Australia in the first place.
0:35
S… Speaker 3 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
Well,
0:36
S… Speaker 6 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
he'd just got an arts degree,
0:37
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
hadn't he?
0:38
S… Speaker 6 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
And people were trying to talk him into an academic profession.
0:41
S… Speaker 6 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
But he wanted a practical job,
0:43
S… Speaker 6 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
something he thought would be more satisfying in the long run.
0:46
S… Speaker 6 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
His grandfather had been a craftsman,
0:48
S… Speaker 6 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
he'd made furniture in Italy,
0:50
S… Speaker 6 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
and he'd passed this skill on to Luca's father.
0:52
S… Speaker 2 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
And,
0:53
S… Speaker 6 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
well, Luca thought he'd like to continue the tradition.
0:56
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
Yes, that was the motivation behind his decision.
0:59
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
And what was it,
1:01
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
do you think, that gave Furniture Rossi a competitive edge over other
1:05
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
furniture companies?
1:06
S… Speaker 6 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
I wouldn't think it was price.
1:08
S… Speaker 6 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
It's always been at the higher end of the market.
1:10
S… Speaker 6 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
But according to my research,
1:12
S… Speaker 6 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
it was to do with the attitude of the employees.
1:14
S… Speaker 6 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
They were really focused on giving good customer service.
1:17
S… Speaker 4 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
Yes,
1:18
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
Luca Rossi insisted on that.
1:21
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
Their promotional campaigns also emphasised the fact that the wood only
1:25
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
came from Australian forests.
1:27
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
But that was the case with their rivals too,
1:29
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
so it wouldn't have made them stand out.
1:32
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
Okay, we'll have a careful look at the content of your case study
1:36
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
in a minute, but I just want to make a general comment first before you start
1:40
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
writing your second draft.
1:41
S… Speaker 3 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
Okay.
1:42
S… Speaker 2 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
Yes,
1:43
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
what I'd like to see more of is your opinion.
1:46
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
A bit more critical thinking rather than the bare facts.
1:50
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
But it's good to see you've been careful with your referencing this time.
1:53
S… Speaker 2 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
Thanks.
1:54
S… Speaker 6 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
And I read and re -read my work,
1:57
S… Speaker 6 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
so I'm pretty sure there aren't any errors with the language.
1:59
S… Speaker 2 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
Yes,
2:00
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
it's fine.
2:01
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
Oh, but there's one other thing I could probably mention at this point.
2:05
S… Speaker 2 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
Yes?
2:06
S… Speaker 3 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
Well,
2:06
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
at the end of term,
2:08
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
you'll also be giving a presentation,
2:09
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
also on Furniture Rossi.
2:12
S… Speaker 2 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
Yes.
2:12
S… Speaker 6 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
I haven't given it much thought yet.
2:15
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
Understandably.
2:16
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
But while you're writing the case study,
2:18
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
I'd recommend you think about what kind of information would be suitable to use in
2:22
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
your presentation.
2:23
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
Remember, the last time you gave a presentation on a company,
2:26
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
you spent a considerable part of the time providing the audience with financial
2:30
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
data.
2:31
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
But they probably needed to hear more about company strategy.
2:35
S… Speaker 2 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
Yes.
2:36
S… Speaker 2 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
OK,
2:37
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
so let's just think about the content of your case study,
2:40
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
The History of Furniture Rossi.
2:43
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
I see here in paragraph 4,
2:45
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
you're talking about how Luca Rossi raised the capital for his new business
2:50
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
venture.
2:51
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
And then you're talking about the customer base growing much wider.
2:54
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
But what was it that prompted this growth?
2:57
S… Speaker 2 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
Well,
2:58
S… Speaker 6 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
that was to do with the quality of the furniture products that the company was selling.
3:02
S… Speaker 6 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
People loved that it was all handmade and would last.
3:05
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
And because demand from customers kept growing?
3:08
S… Speaker 6 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
Well, then Rossi needed to take on more craftsmen so they could
3:12
S… Speaker 6 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
make sure the orders were ready on time.
3:14
S… Speaker 6 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
And then he also had to set up two new warehouses to
3:18
S… Speaker 6 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
make distribution quicker.
3:19
S… Speaker 4 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
Yes,
3:20
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
and from there,
3:21
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
the company really grew.
3:23
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
But think what happened next.
3:25
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
They started looking at ways to increase their profits and called
3:29
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
in a consultant.
3:31
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
And what he saw immediately was that the infrastructure was completely outdated.
3:35
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
They were paying three full -time admin staff just for
3:39
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
data entry.
3:41
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
So he recommended they upgrade their software programs and that,
3:44
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
in turn,
3:45
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
cut operational costs and just speeded everything up.
3:49
S… Speaker 6 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
I'm surprised they didn't get onto that earlier,
3:51
S… Speaker 6 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
but I suppose Luca Rossi was more interested in the design aspect rather
3:56
S… Speaker 6 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
than the finance side of things.
3:57
S… Speaker 4 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
Yes,
3:58
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
I imagine that's why he eventually turned the day -to -day running of the company over
4:02
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
to his son.
4:03
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
And in fact,
4:04
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
it was the son,
4:05
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
Marco.
4:06
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
who persuaded his father to move on from traditional television advertising and
4:11
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
go online instead.
4:12
S… Speaker 6 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
I guess that's the best way to reach people.
4:14
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
It can be,
4:15
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
but initially,
4:16
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
customers actually complained.
4:18
S… Speaker 2 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
Why?
4:19
S… Speaker 2 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
Well,
4:19
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
some users found it hard to navigate their way around the website,
4:22
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
so they were getting frustrated and giving up.
4:25
S… Speaker 1 (b1517bfe-59c3-4926-98b5-c53eb99a1075)
So then the company called in a professional to improve it.
