Case Study on Bombay Dyeing: Lifestyle Brand

The company is staking a claim for consumer mindspace by unveiling a multimedia campaign aimed at reinstate Bombay Dyeing as “an international-quality lifestyle brand” Having stayed away from mainline media for close to a decade now (sporadic advertising notwithstanding), premium homecare fabric-manufacturer Bombay Dyeing is staking a strong claim for consumer mindspace by unveiling a multimedia campaign aimed at reinstating Bombay Dyeing as “an international-quality, aspirational lifestyle brand”.

Lifestyle Brand Case Study

The campaign – created by St Luke’s India, which was appointed on the brand in August following a head-on pitch with ex-incumbent SSC&B – is scheduled break in the media in a week’s time. And in a bid to put its money where its mouth is, the company has also launched a new range of home linen designs – comprising bath towels and bed sheets – which, as per the company, meets the evolving needs and aspirations of the new-age consumer.

In addition to all this, the company has also launched a new face for the Bombay Dyeing brand – model Dipti Gujral. Maureen Wadia of Bombay Dyeing introduced Gujral at a press conference hosted in Mumbai yesterday. Gujral, who features in the soon-to-be-aired campaign, follows in the footsteps of Karan Kapoor and Lisa Ray… who, even today, are the most-recalled ‘faces’ of the Bombay Dyeing brand by virtue of having been the mainstay of Bombay Dyeing advertising through the late eighties and early nineties.

Brand story: Lifebuoy landed on Indian shores in 1895, when the country was in the grip of a plague epidemic. With its positioning as a powerful germicidal and disinfectant, and with a strong carbolic smell, it was what the nation was looking for. But the health advantage waned over time as competitors came out with soaps that promised both health and beauty. The 1970s were challenging times for the brand, especially in the rural markets, its mainstay. “The biggest challenge was to break the mould and do clutter-breaking advertising,” says Manoj Tapadia, creative director at Lowe India, the ad vertising agency for Lifebuoy.

Business Technology Management: A Case Study

This paper describes how we integrated two courses and two disciplines into a single, required “hands-on” course for undergraduates studying management science (MS) and management information systems (MIS). The motivation for what was initially an experiment (and is now a permanent part of the curriculum) was to exploit the synergy between the analytical approaches to modeling, decision-making and project management that are the mainstay of MS with the increasingly rigorous discipline of business technology management and that field’s models, methods, tools and techniques.

We describe the previous two courses, the re-designed course and several examples of how management science methods, tools and techniques were used to solve real business technology management problems selected by Villanova University’s Chief Information Officer (CIO) and Chief Technology Officer (CTO).

Business Technology Management: A Case Study

Two issues drove our decision to integrate management science (MS) and management information systems (MIS). First, we were interested in making both domains more relevant to actual business decisionmaking. While the connections among MS, MIS and the “real world” are alive and well, it is always possible to widen and deepen the relevance of curricula.

MS and MIS are comprised of a variety of methods, models, tools and techniques that are by nature relatively abstract to students. Put another way, the methods, models, tools and techniques are far more powerful when they are applied to real problems. We also believe that MS/MIS content is best explained in the context of real problems with real challenges and outcomes. Click here to Download…
