Abstract:
|
Grundig AG was a major player in the German consumer electronics industry.
In Germany, the Grundig brand enjoyed an iconic status. Even in other parts
of Europe, the Grundig brand had a high brand recall. The company started
with manufacturing and marketing radios and graduated to cover almost the
entire range of consumer electronics including TVs, hi-fi and audio/video
equipment. The case traces the origins of Grundig, its failed association
with Philips and the financial mess it was in. The case throws light on the
factors that propelled the company into bankruptcy. The case also profiles
Alba and Beko, Grundi's new owners. Grundig's prospects under its new
owners are discussed.
