Cases: Kodak's case and  Virgin Mobile's case

A marketing manager will have many different options when selecting a strategy for the company. For example, in Kodak's case, alternative 1 (launching Funtime) and alternative 2 (decreasing price by 15%) may both seem good strategies to solve their problem of market share declination; and in Virgin Mobile's case, option 1 (cloning the existing pricing structure) and option 2 (implementing a whole new pricing plan) may both be able to help it enter the U.S. market.
