Case 3: KRMI

Kuwait Royal Marina Incorporated is an international trading company established in 2011 in Kuwait to import luxury private planes, helicopters, yachts, and custom cars to Kuwait. The company had showrooms in 5 different locations in Kuwait including one in Kuwait Airport. They are specialized in one-of-a-kind planes, yachts, and cars. Their target market is millionaires and large businesses in Kuwait and the Gulf region.  The company had 100 million Dinars as an initiation capital that grew at an average annual rate of 30% from profits. Several of their suppliers were very impressed with their services and sales record that made them exclusive dealers of their products in the Arab Region. In 2017, they had about 400 highly qualified employees. The management and workers were multi-cultural and worked together well. All employees had shares of ownership in the company. They were all part owners, which made them work very hard. The company promoted their products on exclusive media, millionaire clubs, and social media. They also used sales promotion methods and personal selling. Their Public Relations campaign was very successful. The company also started a frequent buyers club for loyal customers that awarded them financial and social privileges. KRMI offered 10 years extended warranties for all their sales. This gave them a competitive advantage over their competitors. The company owned a state of the arts repair shops in 5 different locations in Kuwait for customers’ convenience. Any customer complaints were dealt with promptly to satisfy customers. Customers gave the highest rating for KRMI services. About 40% of their customers were non-Kuwaitis, mostly from other Gulf States. The company donated 5% of their profits to charity and to hospitals. All employees had full health care coverage for them and their families. The Government of Kuwait was very impressed with KRMI social responsibility and awarded them the medal of Best Company Award during the past 5 years. The demand for KRMI products continued to grow at a very fast rate. KRMI board met last week to decide new strategies for improvements, expansion, and growth.

Course Learning Outcomes-Covered

General Motors’ Failure to Consider Stakeholders

General Motors (GM) has struggled with its brands and its image. Over the years, it has jettisoned some of its once-popular brands, including Oldsmobile and Pontiac, sold many others, and climbed back from a 2009 bankruptcy and reorganization. The automaker was hiding an even bigger problem, however: The ignition switch in many of its cars was prone to malfunction, causing injury and even death. The faulty switches caused 124 deaths and 273 injuries, and GM was finally brought to federal court. In 2014, the company reached a settlement for $900 million and recalled 2.6 million cars.

The case exemplifies the tension between the concept that “the only goal of business is to profit, so the only obligation that the businessperson has is to maximize profit for the owner or the stockholders” on one hand, and the ethical obligations a company owes to its other stakeholders on the other. GM’s failure to consider its stakeholders and consumers when choosing not to report the potential for malfunction of the ignition switches led to an ethical breakdown in its operations and cost the company and its customers dearly. In addition, by treating customers as only a means toward an end, the company turned its back on a generation of loyal buyers.

Case Questions

2.  How do you think that betrayal affected the company’s brand and the way car buyers felt about the firm? How might it have affected its shareholders’ views of GM? (Not less than 600 words) 2.5-Marks
