    Most of the new products launched by well-known multinationals are successful.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    The statement claims that most new products launched by well-known multinationals are successful. However, this is not necessarily true. While well-known multinationals may have a higher chance of success due to their resources and brand recognition, it does not guarantee that most of their new products will be successful. Many factors such as market demand, competition, and product quality can influence the success of a new product, making it possible for a significant number of new products launched by well-known multinationals to fail. Therefore, the answer is False.

    Correct Answer

    ​Brands are more likely to succeed than fail. 

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    The given statement is "Brands are more likely to succeed than fail." The correct answer is False because the statement is not always true. While many brands do succeed, there are also numerous brands that fail. Success or failure of a brand depends on various factors such as market competition, consumer demand, product quality, marketing strategies, and management decisions. Therefore, it cannot be generalized that brands are more likely to succeed than fail.

    The statement "Brand leaders are the most popular brands in the view of the public" is false. While brand leaders may be popular, they are not necessarily the most popular brands in the eyes of the public. The popularity of a brand can vary depending on factors such as personal preferences, demographics, and market trends. Therefore, it is incorrect to assume that brand leaders are always the most popular brands overall.

    A. True
    Explanation
    In the context of marketing, "problem childs" refer to products that have a low market share in a high growth market.

      True

    • B.

      False

    A. True
    Explanation
    The Boston matrix is a tool used to evaluate and analyze a company's portfolio of strategic business units. It helps in identifying which business units are performing well and have high growth potential, and which ones are struggling and may require further investment or divestment. By categorizing the business units into four quadrants based on their market growth rate and relative market share, the Boston matrix provides valuable insights for strategic decision-making and resource allocation. Therefore, the statement "The Boston matrix can be used to assess the portfolio of strategic business units for a company" is true.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    In the Boston Matrix, stars are products or services with a high market growth rate and high market share. As they continue to grow and maintain their market share, they will eventually reach a point where their growth rate slows down and they become cash cows. Cash cows are products or services with a high market share but low market growth rate. Therefore, the statement that stars will eventually become cash cows is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 10.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The Boston Matrix is a strategic tool used by businesses to analyze and manage their product portfolio. It categorizes products into four quadrants based on their market growth rate and market share. This helps businesses identify which products require investment, which ones have potential for growth, which ones are generating steady profits, and which ones are declining. By using the Boston Matrix, a business can make informed decisions about resource allocation, product development, and overall portfolio management. Therefore, it is true that the Boston Matrix could be useful for a business trying to manage a diverse range of products in its portfolio.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    Product portfolio management is not the responsibility of all managers in an organization. It is typically the responsibility of product managers or those specifically assigned to handle the product portfolio. Other managers may have their own areas of responsibility within the organization, such as marketing, finance, or operations, but product portfolio management is not a universal responsibility for all managers.

    Explanation
    Stars are the category of products in the Boston Matrix that have high or rising market share within a growing market. These products are considered to be in a favorable position as they have a strong market presence and are operating in a market that is expanding. Stars typically require high investment to maintain and increase their market share, but they have the potential to become cash cows in the future if their market growth slows down.

      Maximise the profitability of the portfolio

    • B.

      Provide balance in a firm's portfolio

    • C.

      Determine customer perceptions of the portfolio

    • D.

      Support the corporate strategy

    Correct Answer
    C. Determine customer perceptions of the portfolio
    Explanation
    Portfolio management is the process of managing a collection of investments to achieve specific goals. It involves making decisions about which investments to include in the portfolio, how much to allocate to each investment, and when to buy or sell them. While portfolio management aims to maximize profitability and support the corporate strategy, it is not primarily used to determine customer perceptions of the portfolio. This goal is more aligned with market research and customer feedback, which helps in understanding how customers perceive the portfolio and making necessary adjustments to meet their needs and preferences.

  • 16. 

    Products that are sold from one business to another to further the production process are known as:

    • A.

      Durable goods

    • B.

      Perishable goods

    • C.

      Capital goods

    • D.

      Consumer goods

    Correct Answer
    C. Capital goods
    Explanation
    Capital goods are products that are sold from one business to another to further the production process. These goods are used to produce other goods or services, such as machinery, equipment, and tools. Unlike consumer goods, which are purchased by individuals for personal use, capital goods are used by businesses to enhance their production capabilities. Durable goods refer to products that have a long lifespan, while perishable goods are products that have a limited shelf life and can spoil or decay. Therefore, the correct answer is capital goods.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    Non-durable products, such as fresh ice cream, are also known as:

    • A.

      Consumer products

    • B.

      Convenience products

    • C.

      Perishables

    • D.

      Speciality goods

    Correct Answer
    C. Perishables
    Explanation
    Perishables refers to non-durable products that have a limited shelf life and are likely to spoil or decay quickly. Fresh ice cream falls into this category as it is a product that needs to be consumed within a short period of time before it spoils. Therefore, the term "perishables" accurately describes non-durable products like fresh ice cream.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    A brand can not be represented by which of the following?

    • A.

      A symbol

    • B.

      A logo

    • C.

      Packaging

    • D.

      A product

    Correct Answer
    D. A product
    Explanation
    A brand cannot be represented by a product because a brand is a combination of various elements such as a symbol, logo, packaging, messaging, and overall perception. While a product is a tangible item that a brand offers, it is just one component of the brand's identity. A brand encompasses the emotional connection, values, and reputation associated with the product, which cannot be solely represented by the product itself.

    Rate this question:

    Pre-launch activities do NOT include:

    • A.

      Generating ideas

    • B.

      Market research

    • C.

      Perception mapping

    • D.

      Test marketing

    Correct Answer
    C. Perception mapping
    Explanation
    Pre-launch activities typically involve tasks that are necessary to prepare a product or service for its launch. Generating ideas, market research, and test marketing are all activities that are commonly done before the launch to ensure that the product or service is well-developed and ready to be introduced to the market. However, perception mapping is not typically considered a pre-launch activity. Perception mapping is a technique used to understand how customers perceive a brand or product, and it is often done after the launch to gather feedback and insights for future improvements.

This term refers to a collection of related products offered by a company to meet the needs and preferences of a specific target market. A product line typically consists of different variations or versions of a core product, each designed to cater to different customer segments or address specific needs within the market. By offering a product line, companies can provide customers with a range of options while leveraging their existing brand and expertise in a particular market.

      Product mix

    • C.

      Product range

    • D.

      Product portfolio

    Correct Answer
    B. Product mix

    MacDonald's variety of value meals represents its product mix. A product mix refers to the complete range of products offered by a company. In this case, MacDonald's value meals are a part of their overall product mix, which includes various food items and meal options. The term "product line" typically refers to a group of related products within a company's product mix, while "product range" and "product portfolio" are broader terms that encompass the entire range of products offered by a company.

This strategy involves creating and promoting unique features, benefits, or qualities of a product to make it stand out in the market and attract customers. It aims to position the product as distinct and superior to competitors' offerings, thus creating a competitive advantage and driving customer preference and loyalty.

    Possible strategies used to reverse the decline in slaes of a product do NOT include:

    • A.

      Expanding into new overseas markets

    • B.

      Increasing prices to improve the image of a product

    • C.

      Increased use of promotional strategies

    • D.

      Additional features added to the product, such as special or limited editions

    Correct Answer
    B. Increasing prices to improve the image of a product
    Explanation
    Increasing prices to improve the image of a product is not a possible strategy to reverse the decline in sales of a product. Typically, increasing prices would lead to a decrease in demand as it may make the product less affordable or less attractive to customers. To reverse the decline in sales, strategies such as expanding into new overseas markets, increased use of promotional strategies, and adding additional features to the product can be more effective in attracting customers and increasing sales.

    Rate this question:

  • 24. 

    Which of the following is a possible reason for an increase in the sales of a product?

    • A.

      Newer and better alternatives become available on the market

      A smaller channel of distribution

    • C.

      Lower prices for products with few substitutes

    • D.

      Redesigned packaging to increase the emotional value of a product

    Correct Answer
    D. Redesigned packaging to increase the emotional value of a product
    Explanation
    Redesigned packaging can increase the emotional value of a product, making it more attractive to consumers. When packaging is visually appealing and evokes positive emotions, it can capture the attention of potential customers and create a desire to purchase the product. This can lead to an increase in sales as consumers are more likely to be drawn to the product and perceive it as valuable.

    Rate this question:

  • 25. 

    Which of the following is NOT an extension strategy?

    • A.

      Reducing prices to attract more customers

    • B.

      Advertising used to remind and entice customers to make a purchase

    • C.

      Producing new products to sell in overseas markets

    • D.

      Exporting to overseas markets

    Correct Answer
    C. Producing new products to sell in overseas markets
    Explanation
    Producing new products to sell in overseas markets is not an extension strategy. Extension strategies are used to expand the sales and reach of existing products or services. The other options mentioned in the question - reducing prices to attract more customers, advertising to remind and entice customers, and exporting to overseas markets - are all examples of extension strategies. However, producing new products to sell in overseas markets would be considered a diversification strategy, as it involves creating and selling entirely new products in new markets.

    Rate this question:

  • 26. 

    Which feature does NOT necessarily apply to fast-moving consumer goods (FMCGs)?

    • A.

      Products that sell in high volumes

    • B.

      Products that have low profit margins

    • C.

      Rely on customer repurchase

    • D.

      Products that are not durable

    Correct Answer
    D. Products that are not durable
    Explanation
    Fast-moving consumer goods (FMCGs) are products that sell in high volumes, have low profit margins, and rely on customer repurchase. However, durability is not necessarily a feature that applies to FMCGs. FMCGs are typically consumed or used up quickly, and their lifespan is shorter compared to durable goods. Therefore, FMCGs are generally not designed to be durable or long-lasting.

  • 27. 

    Brand image is the __________ that customers have about a particular brand. A strong brand image will lead to _________ product differentiation.

    • A.

      Culture, decreased

    • B.

      Culture, increased

    • C.

      Perception, increased

    • D.

      Perception, decreased

    Correct Answer
    C. Perception, increased
    Explanation
    A brand image is the perception that customers have about a particular brand. A strong brand image will lead to increased product differentiation. This means that when customers have a positive perception of a brand, they are more likely to see it as unique and distinct from its competitors. This differentiation can be a key factor in attracting and retaining customers, as they are more likely to choose a brand that they perceive as being different and better than others in the market.

      Test marketing

    • B.

      Research and development

    • C.

      Market research

    • D.

      Extension strategies

    Correct Answer
    D. Extension strategies
    Explanation
    Extension strategies refer to the tactics used to expand the lifecycle of an existing product in the market. It involves introducing new variations, repackaging, or repositioning the product to attract different customer segments or extend its reach in the market. While test marketing, research and development, and market research are all integral parts of new product development, extension strategies are not directly related to the creation of new products but rather focus on maximizing the potential of existing ones.

    Which of the items below is unlikely to be considered as a HIP (high involvement product)? 

    • A.

      Private boarding school education

    • B.

      Family holiday to both America and Canada

    • C.

      Vintage wine

    • D.

      Birthday cards

    Correct Answer
    D. Birthday cards
    Explanation
    Birthday cards are unlikely to be considered as a HIP (high involvement product) because they are typically low-cost items that do not require much research or decision-making. Unlike private boarding school education, family holidays, and vintage wine, birthday cards do not involve significant financial investment or emotional attachment. They are often purchased quickly and without much thought, making them less likely to be categorized as a high involvement product.

      Brand extension

    • B.

      Branding

    • C.

      Repositioning

    • D.

      Differentiation

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    Brand extension refers to the strategy of using an existing brand name to introduce a new product or modify an existing product. This allows companies to leverage the equity and recognition of their established brand to enter new markets or target new customer segments. By extending the brand, companies can benefit from the positive associations and reputation associated with the original brand, reducing the need for extensive marketing efforts to build awareness and credibility for the new product. This strategy can help companies maximize their brand's reach and profitability by capitalizing on existing customer loyalty and brand equity.

    Which of the following would most likely be classified as a perishable consumer product?

    • A.

      Motor vehicle

    • B.

      Fridge freezer

    • C.

      Fresh food

    • D.

      Toys

    Correct Answer
    C. Fresh food
    Explanation
    Fresh food is most likely to be classified as a perishable consumer product because it has a limited shelf life and can spoil or decay quickly if not consumed or stored properly. Unlike motor vehicles, fridge freezers, and toys, fresh food is highly susceptible to bacteria growth, enzymatic reactions, and other factors that can lead to its deterioration and make it unsafe or unpalatable for consumption. Therefore, fresh food requires careful handling, storage, and timely consumption to ensure its quality and safety.

During this stage, companies invest heavily in product development, marketing, and distribution to introduce the product to the market. However, due to low initial sales and high costs, it is common for companies to experience losses during this stage. The launch stage is crucial for establishing brand awareness, gaining market share, and setting the product up for future growth.

    B. Cash cows
    Explanation
    Cash cows are products that have a high market share in a low growth market. These products generate a significant amount of revenue and profit due to their dominant position in the market. However, since the market growth is low, there is limited potential for further growth. Therefore, these products are considered cash cows as they generate steady cash flow without requiring significant investment or resources.

This stage is known as the maturity stage. During this phase, the product has already been adopted by a large portion of the market, and sales tend to stabilize or decline. Therefore, the correct answer is "Maturity."
