They entered in to the Berlin market with founding of the Telegraphen-Bauanstat Von Siemens & Halske. The company started by only 10 men and produced the first product which was the telegraph in 1848. Later on, the company startedin London with supervision of their younger brother Carl Wilhelm Siemens and made the famous Indo-European Telegraph line. St. Petersburg, Russia was also added to the company offices later on.

The solutions which were discussed in the meeting related to the problem are:

Combination and enhancement of markets such as Brazil, Russia, India and China for selling the fire detection products and services.
Produce the new family of products with new brand name and sell it in China.

The situation was complex because the competitors of Siemens Companywere getting strongerinternationally. The head of the fire detection products and services Mr. Matthias Rebellius took time for a better decision because they were not satisfied with these solutions.

SITUATIONS ANALYSIS

Options Siemens have to fight emerging low-cost rivals for fire detection products in China

The general options raised in the case are given below:

The first option is to sellout the fire detection products by the combination of the Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRIC) markets. Every person of the company was satisfied by this options that the products will easily sell with much revenue and help to improve the company’s future growth.

The second option was proposed by the Dr. Carsten Liesener, Head of the Fire detection products and services. He said: The business unit of fire security and safety products on its head and to develop the new family product with new brand name and sell it in China with value-adding partners; for that, he proposed a new product family, “SIEMENS CERBERUS”. This product family brand would target the M2 and M3 markets which were not being specifically done by Siemens’ usual brands such as SBT BC8001/2. This will tap into the untapped territory of the market such as M3 with a capacity of around 17 Million units being sold..............
