Polar Sports, Inc. is a trend skiwear manufacturing company in Littleton, Colorado. The firm has a unique design for skiwear using a unique synthetic material that improves endurance and insulation. The ski apparel industry is highly competitive and the best method for companies to get market share is by developing new fabrics and using patterns that are advanced. The company relies on seasonal generation to react quickly to customer orders and creates over 80% of sales between September and January.
During those months, production must quickly increase by training and hiring additional workers, frequently paying them overtime. The change can reduce prices and enhance efficiency but may also impact other aspects of business finance. Students must examine possible cost savings and comprehend the financial risks. This case could be utilized in first-year MBA-level courses in complex undergraduate finance classes or in finance.
