6 Capitals Tool
Note:
• In addition to the 6 Capitals tool, users are advised to
employ the financial measurements most commonly
used in their company
• For the purposes of the class – we are going to
simplify and just use the 6 Capitals tool without

• The case of Allophone
One of your classmates, Sam Li, has just landed
a great job at the new, cool, startup allophone.
As we all know, allophone are coming up with
the next best handheld device…..
http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/polytron-unveils-clear-cell-phone/
…..the Air.
A transparent phone
The microlithography patent for the technology
to make the Air is owned by allophone.
MegaCom have been contracted to assemble
the device
Only MegaCom, the worlds largest phone
manufacturer, can make the Air at the required
quantity and shipping dates
MegaCom Factory, Shanghai
Two days before the launch of the Air your
friend Sam calls you with a problem
has agreed to carry the phone in Thailand
only after a social compliance audit of
MegaCom, Shanghai
The audit had some disturbing findings
The MegaCom, Shanghai audit found that 12 out
of the 13,000 employees at the factory were
found to be underage.
The 12 employees were all 15 years old
Due to your experience you have been called in
to advise Allophone and MegaCom on strategy
They are considering the following strategic
options:
Options Under Consideration
Option Detail Negatives
Delay the
launch
Continue with MegaCom
after they fix the situation
-Market share loss
-Time loss
-Increased costs
Admit fault
De-source MegaCom and
find another, more socially
compliant, factory
-Technology “lock in”
Ignore the
press
Look for other phone
carrier in Thailand. Wait
for the media storm to
pass
Does allophone have the
reputation assets to spend?
Questions
What is your preferred option?
Why?
Is the Child Labor content of the phone Material
