Differentiators
Staging• Constant updates to
performance products to make sure they have the highest speed and accuracy on the market
• Development of new products every few years to keep perceived age low
• Increased marketing in Europe to gain higher market penetration
Arenas• Performance and budget-based
products• Products are sold in
Americas and Europe• Push performance based
products to be sold first in the market
Vehicles• Direct exportation into the
European market• Create strong Internal Development
through increasing automation and capacity each year
Differentiators• Products will be highest quality
on the market (speed and accuracy)
• Products are priced to create highest customer satisfaction
Economic Logic
• Performance goods have higher margins• Highest customer satisfaction allows us to
charge a higher price for the product• Lower costs from plant automation
4
Strategy
• Focus on keeping our existing products up to date with customer
specifications
• Develop new products that stay on the cutting edge of technology
• Search for ways to further differentiate our offerings from those
of our competitors and gain more market share
• Maintain our status as leaders in the performance sector in the Americas
and Europe
• Create a tiered system of performance products, having
products for the ultra-high end space in the market as well as for those
consumers that don’t require such a high level of technology
For the next 5 years, we as a company have decided that our strategy to provide high performance products in the performance markets in the Americas and Europe will remain the same. In order to do this, over the next five years, we plan to invest in research and development. We also plan to continue to make plant improvements so we can accommodate the increase in demand.In the future, we will continue to serve the performance market in the Americas and Europe. We have discontinued our only budget product, “Eat”, and we don’t plan on entering the budget market again. Within the next five years, we will continue updating our existing performance products and developing new performance products to keep up with demand. We haven’t entered the performance market in Asia, and we don’t plan to in the next five years either. We will also take risk factors into consideration. Risk factors include inflation, trade barriers, saturation in the market, and changes in regulation laws.
Short-term Long-term
Our strategy will remain the same for the next five years since it has
worked thus far:

5-Year Strategy
To control the performance goods market in Europe and America through constantly working to develop and release the highest quality medical testing devices on the market
Dear Shareholders,
We have decided that our strategy at Erie is to provide high quality portable genetic testing devices that offer the most precise genetic results and have the highest chance of preventing potential health risks to people across the globe. In our fourth year of operations, we pleased to report that Erie is leading the industry in stock price, sales, and profits as well as having the largest market share in Europe. Some specific steps that we are taking to continue our success during the upcoming year include:
R & D• We are releasing our product, “EBIT” in the European and Americas markets.• We are retiring our performance product, “Echo,” from all markets.
Production• We are cutting back on production of our product “End” in Europe and the Americas due
to the time issues with updating the product to meet consumer expectations.• We are increasing the production of “EBIT” to 1,500 in the Americas and Europe to make
up for the lower production levels of “End.”
Marketing• We are increasing marketing of “EBIT” to $3 million in sales and promotion in both the
Americas and Europe to increase market penetration.• We are maintaining marketing levels of “End” and regional marketing in hopes of reaching
the threshold where “End” will be available to all consumers in Europe and the Americas. We look forward to another exciting year for Erie as a company.

Threat of New Entrants
Bargaining Power of Suppliers
Bargaining Power of Buyers
Threat of Substitutes
Rivalry among Existing Firms• Somewhat high in the market in Americas• Somewhat high in the market in Europe• In Americas, our rivals include Andrews, Baldwin, and Digby• In Europe, we are now competing against Andrews, Baker, and Digby
• Products in Performance in Europe, Drogba is a substitute for our product, End• Drogba is priced at 37.40 euros with a 12.6 accuracy and a 12.6 speed• End is priced at 40.98 euros with a 12.3 in both accuracy and speed• In Americas, the threat of substitutes is relatively high due to so many competitors in the market including
Andrews, Baker, and Digby• In Europe, the threat of substitute is relatively high because Andrews, Baker, and Digby are competing against
us in this area
• The Power of Buyers is relatively high in performance in Americas because Andrews, Baker, Erie, and Digby are in the market
• The Power of Buyers is very high in performance in Europe because Andrews, Baker, and Digby are competing against us in the market
• Reduces quality of the input factor or service level delivered• Limits our profit potential by capturing part of the economic value created• Very low because Accounts Payable is $576• Outsourcing for Echo-0, End-0
• In the market in Europe, the threat of entry is low in performance because Chester, and Ferris are threats of entry and relatively low in budget because
• In the Americas, the threat of new entrants relatively low in performance because Ferris and Chester are threats of entry

Industry Analysis
Our outsourcing reached its highest point in round 2, as we did not have enough plant capacity to cope with the release of our product “Easy.” The success of “Easy” coupled with issuing more stock and debt in the past two rounds has allowed us to increase plant capacity each year to meet demand, and we now will produce our entire line of products without outsourcing from here out.

Industry Analysis
Erie is leading the way with the highest overall automation level. Compared to the industry average, it has seen a steady amount of increase per round since the start of round 2. Automation stopped increasing at round 6 and has remained constant at an automation level of 10. Our high automation level allows us to produce our units faster, allowing us to easily meet our demands and outsell our competitors.
Erie’s capacity is well above the industry average. The greatest increase in capacity came between rounds 3 and 4 where capacity increased by 2000. Capacity stopped increasing at round 5 and has remained constant at 5500. We have the highest capacity level and because of that we are able to meet our demand without having to outsource.

This is a chart that shows the amount in units of Budget and Performance products that Erie has sold in Europe over time. As shown in the graph, we have decided to discontinue our budget products and focus solely on our performance products. We have increased in sales every year for the past three years. We hope to continue to increase our sales with our two performance products and we might add another performance product as well.

This is a chart of the amount in units of Budget products and the Performance Products that Erie has sold in the Americas over time. Over the years we have retired “Eat,” “Easy,” and “Echo.” Retiring these products had led us to a complete exit from the Budget market. We have now been focusing on updating current performance products and developing new performance products. We have just released a new performance product known as ”EBIT," and the release of this product has increased the amount of products sold in the performance market.
