The first stage of the strategic planning process of both the fusion products Llano and Brazos is the branding of the products under the new vision brand of the company. The managementof the organization feels that the company needs to carve its own branding and marketing strengths rather than competing with the rival on its strengths and branding statements.
After thoroughly analyzing the market trends and customer perceptions, the management of the company has decided to focus on the branding and development of products in terms of improved features, outlook and quality rather than the capability based strategy of the rival for the chips.
The business has decided to develop a chip that is limited in size as compared to the previous product of the company and is also a combination of the CPU and GPU on a single processor. The business has termed this chip as a APU (Accelerated Processing Unit).Moreover, this has enabled the company to attain differentiation for its future products.
The business has segregated the intended customer market in to three segments and they are categorized into casual users, digital hobbyists and content creators. All of these users that the business intends to target are heavily dependent upon improved graphics and power consumption of the device that they use.
The Llano and Brazos fusion products of the company are specifically designed to address these needs of the users that heavily depend upon improved visual display. The Llano product of the company is intended to target the high-end market and the Brazos fusion product of the company are intended for the low-end market of the industry...............
