Club Med (A) HBS Case- Strategic Audit in 1986

The accommodations are simple, but localised in attractive holidays places. Everything is organised in order for the consumer not to spend any money outside the «club med village ».

It is the 9th largest hotel company in the world. The stock was favorite on several Wall street analyst. The company makes $3 million of interest on prepaid holidays, which give confidence to potential investors.
The return on Investment is 11,6%. All the data show the company is healthy and growing (see graphic 1):

- Competitors:
Competition is low and mostly based in Jamaica and the threat is slow from potential entrants and substitutes, as shows the Porter’s analysis. The two main competitors are: Jack Tar, which provides a even more all inclusive solution (including wine and cigarettes) and Super clubs in Jamaica.
Even if the competition is growing, the Club Med position is very strong and unique on this market. The new competitors focus on « niche » markets or in totally all inclusive offers (eg: including cigarette and drinks in the package), which doesn’t attract the same clientele as Club Med. With a strong position and a low threat from competitors, even in a market where competition is growing, Club Med is an attractive company for investors.

This shows a great growth potential for packages including transportation. o 60,9% of occupation in Asia with a slight decrease from in two years, 64,4% in America with a constant small increase since 1984. These figures show there is a margin for improvement and profit growth with only minor extra costs.

    First off, I am going to rank the companies’ two financial measures, earning power and solvency. The scale ranges from 1 (very weak) to 10 (very strong). After analyzing the numbers of both companies, it is very apparent that Medtronic has generally done better than SJM in the fiscal year 2008, and this applies to both financial measures. For the first measure, earning power, Medtronic has done better than SJM in all ratios, excluding Return on Assets (ROA). Based on this, on a scale from 1 to 10, I would rank Medtronic as an eight and SJM a six. Moving onto the next financial measure, under all solvency ratios, Medtronic had done better than SJM. Once again, Medtronic’s ranking is 8, but SJM seems a little worse, therefore I rank SJM a five.…
