Capstone® Industry Conditions Report For C94032
Your instructor can customize the simulation scenario. The information below is specific to your industry.
Printable and Downloadable PDF Version of This Report
The sensors your company manufactures are incorporated into the products your customers sell.
Your customers fall into five groups which are called market segments. A market segment is a group
of customers who have similar needs. The segments are named for the customer's primary
requirements and are called:
Drift Rates
Each year, the segments drift the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle formed by customers'
desire for smaller and faster products.
Table 1 Segment Circle Drift Rates: Every year, customers
demand increased performance (Pfmn) and decreased size.

demand increased performance (Pfmn) and decreased size.
Note that the drift rates vary for each segment.

The information in Table 2 reflects the segment centers at the end of the round. Therefore, the
Round 0 positions can be seen as the Round 1 starting positions, Round 2 positions can be seen as
the Round 3 starting position, etc. Each month during the simulation year, the segment drifts 1/12th
of the distance from the starting position to the ending position.
Ideal Spots

High End +1.4 -1.4

The information in Table 3 shows the Ideal Spot "offsets" or distances from the segment center. The
ideal spot is that point where, all other things being equal, demand is highest. It is different from the
segment center. Why are some ideal spots ahead of the segment centers? The segments are moving.
From a customer’s perspective, if they buy a product at the ideal spot, it will still be a cutting edge
product when it wears out.
2 Segment Sizes and Growth Rates
At the beginning of the simulation, Traditional and Low End sell more units than the high
technology segments, High End, Performance and Size. Page 10 of the Capstone Courier, the
Market Segment Report, displays total industry sales.
Each market segment grows at a different rate. Table 4 lists the beginning segment growth rates for
your industry. The growth rates might change from year to year. Check the Segment Analysis
reports in the Capstone Courier each round for the upcoming year's growth rates.
Table 4 Beginning Segment Growth Rates
Traditional 7.0%
Low End 14.4%
High End 21.0%
Performance 17.6%
Size

3 Buying Criteria By Segment
These are your products and the primary segments they sell into at the beginning of the simulation.
These can change according to your decisions and as the simulation evolves.

Balance Sheet
DEFINITIONS: Common Size: The common size column
simply represents each item as a percentage of total
assets for that year. Cash: Your end-of-year cash
position. Accounts Receivable: Reflects the lag between
delivery and payment of your products. Inventories: The
current value of your inventory across all products. A zero
indicates your company stocked out. Unmet demand
would, of course, fall to your competitors. Plant &
Equipment: The current value of your plant. Accum
Deprec: The total accumulated depreciation from your
plant. Accts Payable: What the company currently owes
suppliers for materials and services. Current Debt: The
debt the company is obligated to pay during the next year
of operations. It includes emergency loans used to keep
your company solvent should you run out of cash during
the year. Long Term Debt: The companys long term debt
is in the form of bonds, and this represents the total value
of your bonds. Common Stock: The amount of capital
invested by shareholders in the company. Retained
Earnings: The profits that the company chose to keep
instead of paying to shareholders as dividends.

Cash Flow Statement
The Cash Flow Statement examines what happened in the Cash Account
during the year. Cash injections appear as positive numbers and cash
withdrawals as negative numbers. The Cash Flow Statement is an excellent
tool for diagnosing emergency loans. When negative cash flows exceed
positives, you are forced to seek emergency funding. For example, if sales
are bad and you find yourself carrying an abundance of excess inventory,
the report would show the increase in inventory as a huge negative cash
flow. Too much unexpected inventory could outstrip your inflows, exhaust
your starting cash and force you to beg for money to keep your company
afloat.

Definitions: Sales: Unit Sales times list price. Direct Labor: Labor costs incurred to produce the product
that was sold. Inventory Carry Cost: the cost unsold goods in inventory. Depreciation: Calculated on
straight-line. 15-year depreciation of plant value. R&D Costs: R&D department expenditures for each
product. Admin: Administration overhead is estimated at 1.5% of sales. Promotions: The promotion budget
for each product. Sales: The sales force budget for each product. Other: Chargs not included in other
categories such as Fees, Write offs, and TQM. The fees include money paid to investment bankers and
brokerage firms to issue new stocks or bonds plus consulting fees your instructor might assess. Write-offs
include the loss you might experience when you sell capacity or liquidate inventory as the result of
eliminating a production line. If the amount appears as a negative amount, then you actually made money
on the liquidation of capacity or inventory. EBIT: Earnings Before Interest and Taxes. Short Term Interest:
Interest expense based on last years current debt, including short term debt, long term notes that have
become due, and emergency loans, Long Term Interest: Interest paid on outstanding bonds. Taxes:
Income tax based upon a 35% tax rate. Profit Sharing: Profits shared with employees under the labor
contract. Net Profit: EBIT minus interest, taxes, and profit sharing.

Perceptual Map - Information
What is the Perceptual Map?
The perceptual map is a visual representation of the five different customer segments based on how specialized these customers want their
product to be.
For example, some customers want higher performance and smaller size than other customers, so they are grouped in a segment called the 'High
End'. Other customers don't mind about the size but want really good performance, so they are grouped in a segment called 'Performance', and so
on.
Just like in real life, over time all customers' expectations move toward better products, which in the simulation means smaller and higher
performance.
The animation below shows the moving expectations of customers, called 'Segment Drift':

Perceptual Map
How can I use the Perceptual Map?
How can I use the Perceptual Map?
The Research & Development Department can use the Perceptual Map exercise to plan revision and invention projects that meet customers
shifting size and performance expectations.
The Marketing Department can use the results during forecasting as they compare competing products and when determining prices (in general,
better positioned products can command higher prices).

Perceptual Map - Ideal Spots
The Ideal Spot in the Segment Circles
Ideal Spots offset from segment center

So, where should you try to position your product in the segment
circles? As a basic rule, the 'Ideal Spot' will help guide you. The ideal
spot represents the position with the highest point of demand for each
consumer base or segment.

The ideal spot is made up by the product's performance (speed) and
size. As the perceptual map drifts down and to the right each year, the
ideal spot will change as customers demand sensors with decreased
size (smaller) and increased performance (faster).
Although it would seem that the Ideal Spot would be in the center of
the segment circle, the positioning actually varies due to the customer
focus of each segment. For example, in the High End segment, the
Ideal Spot is at the leading edge of the segment because those
customers want the best possible product. Each segment's ideal spot
is represented by the pink dots on the Perceptual Map.
