Describe your main purchase motives and characteristics as a potential buyer of a folding bicycle. Identify and analyse alternative products you would consider, beyond the Strida and Pashley TSR- Moulton.
Students’ purchase motives can be explored directly in class, exposing the key decision variables likely
to influence prospective buyers.
The table below summarises more formally some key issues affecting the specialised subsector of the
bicycle industry exemplified by Pashley and Strida, using the worksheet of Figure 3.11. Though students
have not been asked to perform such an analysis in the question, it can be presented in class as a way to
introduce the concepts in a tangible form, mindful that they will be expected to apply Worksheet 3.11 to
the closing EMI case study..
The analysis suggests the possibility of further new entrants and subsequently the maturing of the sector.
Predictions can be made by applying observations drawn from life cycle concepts more generally.
