...entrepreneurs. The Bakery Shop (TBS) is owned by three young men, Tarek El Nazer, Basel Mashhour and Sameh El-Sadat but only managed by the first two. It originated as a small booth in the North Coast in 2008 catering for the high class society living within and around the Diplomats 3 Resort. Their competitive edge in sahel was to provide freshly baked bread in a place where it is rare to find fresh bread at all. Their edge was successful and experienced a positive push in sales via word of mouth. After two consecutive flourishing summers, TBS opened its first capital outlets in Zamalek followed by Heliopolis. However, they greatly expanded their range of pastries to include freshly baked muffins, don nuts and a wide variety of bread ex. white and brown baguette and different types of Italian bread such as focaccia and ciabatta, soft white bread which includes burger buns and rolls; toast; mint bread, a range of whole wheat German breads, and the hard to come by corn bread is also available. TBS also provides a sandwich station where consumers choose their type of bread, and their fillings from a range of cold cuts, cheeses, dressings and salad components. It provides finger foods, canapés and savory pastries, brioches and mini pizzas as well if consumers order these in large quantities one day in advance. Regarding our group consumer behavior project, we intend to conduct an extensive research concerning the Egyptian market, a typical TBS consumer,...

...The shift is intuitively appealing, and it provides Michelin with an opportunity to differentiate itself in the tire business. After 3 years, however, expansion is far below expectations and profitability is terrible – despite the outside help of a strategy consulting firm. The case presents the decision point in 2003, whereby MFS’s future has to be decided. Should Michelin seek to further develop this solution offer, and try to repackage the offer yet another time? Or was it just a passing fad that should be abandoned? This case investigates the difficulties that industrial groups face when they transition from selling products to providing service. It enables participants to reflect on the following issues: What’s industrial groups’ rationale for moving towards solutions? What kind of business model reconfiguration does it imply? How does moving to solutions raise multiple challenges throughout the organization (e.g. in terms of sales force management, risk management, channel relationships etc.)? * This case study was written by Chloé Renault, HEC 2006 and PhD Student at HEC, under the supervision of Frédéric Dalsace, Danone Chair of Social Business/Firm & Poverty and Wolfgang Ulaga, EDF Chair in Marketing/New Business...
