Executive Summary

!
To The Board of Directors:
!
I proudly present this analysis of BetterBikes inc. For the past 3 years; encompassing
marketing, operations and finance. Contained within this report are our various decisions as a company and what we can do going forward to ensure success. Currently we hold a
Shareholder Value of $15.22 which is substantially less than that of our competitors and although we have suffered a great lay-off period with some of our essential members I believe the tactics we have employed stand true and with some revision we can pull ahead. An industrial shift is on the rise and this is the perfect chance for us as a company to drive moral and make a stronger impression on the market. Our greatest competitor is LifeBikes Inc. which hold an SHV of $91.04, our present goal is to emulate some of the decisions they have made while improving on them.
Speaking with my operations managers I have assessed our strategy so far to be
focused on the quality of products with a low supply. Considering this strategy I insist that we maintain our level of quality but also increase supply, this will undoubtedly be costly but it is a sacrifice worth making as we have seen this sort of success in our competition. A key measure to keep in mind is the fact that we are targeting retailers and retailers respond well to quality but

they require quantity as well. Our focus should be aimed towards a certain market, namely youth bikes. I suggest youth bikes because this is an area where our competitors are particularly dormant and if we can command this market it will bring the attention of a niche market. We have proved to be a force to be reckoned with but now we need to ascend to our proverbial throne as captains of industry. With a more customer focused approach our SHV will double within the coming year. As CEO I undoubtedly state that with our resources and talented team can achieve greatness within the market.
