Cases & Workshops

Strategy determination: what to do when you become your own competitor?​

  • Description: The telecommunication market has been shrinking for some years now. To continue growing, Belsimpel has decided to walk two different roads.. Expanding the reseller-business into Europe as Gomibo, as well as bringing our own software to the market as a SaaS-platform for other telecommunication companies. This helped us to keep growing the last couple of years. Now, we find ourselves in interesting situation. Gomibo is now directly competing with a brand new company in Germany. This other company is using our software platform which means we also benefit by them generating more traffic and sales. However, this might mean that Gomibo will not grow as much as we would like to. In this case it is up to you to tackle this situation: what is the strategy that you would pick and what company would you focus on?
  • Target audience: Economics, Business Administration, International Business

Then we will zoom in on a specific service: our Warehousing system. We will tell you about the way we designed our warehouse for Belsimpel from a business analyst perspective. What do we have to change in our logistics to make sure we can cater our new customer? How do we than translate this into system that can run multiple warehouses?

Next-Gen Marketing: connect Gen Z with Google Pixel​

  • Description: We have an exclusive partnership with Google and are partly responsible for the promotion in the Netherlands. As you probably know, the iPhone is really popular. 60% of Gen Z (generation born between 1996 - 2012) has an iPhone and a lot of these people do not even know that Google sells phones. How can we help Google to reach this generation? In this presentation we will tell you about our different marketing teams, how they work together and how to make a marketing plan based on a 360 degree digital marketing strategy. During the case you will work out a marketing plan, on behalf of Belsimpel, that will convince Gen Z to buy a Google Pixel phone.
