[2 marks]CASE STUDY: The toy industry is going through radical change. Teddy bear and Barbie dolls are a bit tame by today’s standards. One industry analyst says, “Barbie remains comatose.” As a result, toy retailers are cutting back on inventories of toys as children grow out of traditional toys at a younger age. This has had a major impact on Mattel’s Tyco preschool division, Fischer price division and aging Barbie dolls. Mattel the world’s largest toy manufacturer, is embarking on a program to redefine its core business from that of a traditional toy company to a children’s product company. Mattel has a dubious history that it would like to avoid in the future. Since the 1970s it has managed to nearly fall apart every decade. An accounting scandal forced out the founder, Ruth Handler in the 1970s. The 1980s saw the collapse of the vedio game market and in the late 1990s CEO Jill Barad was forced out after controversial and poorly executed acquisitions. In the decade of 2000s, CEO Robert Eckert is moving the company to be less dependent on costly licensed properties by ending a pricey movie licensing agreement with Walt Disney Co. He says, “We are not here to create souvenirs for the movies. We want toys, kids want to play with.” He is also moving mattel to a system that can better control inventory and to the development of more toys in-house. Eckert has streamlined manufacturing and has made it clear that new ideas are not to linger in the pipeline. He is also looking for strong expansion overseas. As the market for toys matures in the United States, mattel is pushed overseas in its quest for new business. Toys in many cases include packaging in multiple languages, which saves the cost of serial introductions. The goal is to raise international sales from 31 percent today to 50 percent. Questions
