    Innovative Toys, a successful toy manufacturing company that manufactured toys for children between ages 6 -10 has decided to manufacture infant toys and distribute through Big Tiger supermarkets. It has two possible products to introduce in the market but can only introduce one of them in the current year and use the net income and value generated by it to introduce the other product. It also needs to generate substantial income for the Big Tiger so that Innovative toys would gain confidence of Big Tiger to introduce another product and have good shelf space. Since Big Tiger would prefer to have 30% of margin on General Merchandise products, we will be considering retail price based on 30% margin.

Plush Balls are packaged toys that sealed for cleanliness and require shelf space while Teething toys are packaged in plastic and can be displayed on a pegboard.…

In the US, its traditional stronghold, the company has lost its number one positions as toy retailer to Wal-Mart. Being large may not be enough, when customers can go to another large retailer and buy the same and similar goods, sometimes getting a better deal.\As with all retailers in Western society, Toys "R" Us is heavily dependent upon successful sales during the final quarter of the year. They need to make profit from Christmas. Retail is notoriously seasonal and Toys "R" Us is no different to other retailers. In fact it could be argued that toys are a key Christmas present product, so are even more likely to be dependent upon seasonal sales. There are opportunities for joint ventures and strategic alliances. Toys "R" Us works closely with Amazon.com and its baby products category. This not only plays to the strengths of both companies, but also provides opportunities.
