The POM+ Project Big Kola Company has been concerned that specialised fruit drinks have been eroding their cola market. The CEO mandates that "If you can't beat them, join them." Grape juice was the first product that was successful after an advertising blitz claiming the antitoxin benefits. Lately, competition is compressing grape juice margins and profits. Months of additional market surveys and focus groups have resulted in three potential high-margin drinks: cranberry, blueberry and pomegranate. All these choices represent antitoxins. The decision is to produce the pomegranate drink that has many health claims. For example, the relative ability of these juices to eliminate harmful free radicals (antitoxins) is 71 percent for pomegranate, 33 percent for blueberry, and 20 percent for cranberry (Technicon Institute of Technology). The market potential appears very attractive and should have a higher profit margin that the other potential juice products. Another appeal for the pomegranate juice is its familiarity in the Middle East and Asia. The proposed budget for this project from the business case is 2.3 Million The Priority Matrix for the POM+ Project is: Constrain Enhance Accept Time Scope Cost X Part 1 1.
