Case Study Writing

Case:
You are the new international marketing manager for a surfboard company “Aussie Surf”
(not the real company name). The company is a producer, wholesaler and retailer of
fiberglass and carbon fiber surfboard. You have been given the task to evaluate the issues
with international outsourcing manufacturing within Indonesia. This choice has been made
by the company board already and is not in debate. The company has made this decision
due to increased demand and because production cannot be achieved domestically.
There have been many Australian companies outsourcing manufacturing recently to
Indonesia. There are many advantages of outsourcing of manufacturing in overseas
countries. However, more recently there has been a movement toward ethical production
and the circular economy, which has brought this type of manufacturing under scrutiny.
Globally there has been a growing trend of the socially aware or socially-conscious
consumers and sustainable practices.
These changes to global outsourcing and consumer trends related to ethical consumerism
may help position your argument. Evaluate outsourcing of production for the firm and the
implications for sales and the brand. Please consider the Corporate Social Responsibility
(CSR) issues related to the context.
Assess the case and develop some recommendations. What approach would you would
take and why? Please make sure you take into consideration your firm and the
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) issues when putting forward your arguments.
