CEO
The mission of Knockout Shoes is to be recognized as a socially responsible company providing high
quality shoes for the North American and Latin American markets.
The overall strategy of Knockout Shoes is focused differentiation while addressing socially responsible
business practices. The decisions by operations, financing, and marketing support this strategy because
we have limited all production to North America and Latin American. We have limited sales to
Wholesale and Internet sales in North America and Latin America. We have purchased the contracts of
Ophrah Beyonse, Tiger Green, and Jose Montana. We have engaged in green manufacturing practices.
We have limited the number of models sold. We use high-quality materials in the manufacturing
process. We have provided sufficient capital to sustain operations. We have provided a return to
stockholders and to society.
VPO
We produce all of our shoes in North America and Latin America because this allows for better control
over the manufacturing process and reduces the cost to ship shoes to the two target markets. We
limited our models to 50 to maintain better control over the manufacturing process and to limit the
costs for styling. We have set our superior material usage rate at 80% to ensure a high quality shoe. We
use green materials. We have set the enhanced styling features to $20,000 per model to support the
production of a shoe that is perceived to be high quality. We have invested in energy efficiency. We use
recycled boxing materials. Our entire workforce has received ethics training, and we have a diverse
workforce. We spend $2,000 per worker on Best Practices Training.
VPM
We have set our wholesale price at $60 and our internet price at $85 because the shoes are high quality
shoes. We sell only in North America and Latin America. We do not allow internet sales outside of
North America and Latin America. We have contracted with Ophrah Beyonse, Tiger Green, and Jose
Montana because these three have the best celebrity appeal scores for our two markets. We do not
provide for private label production because it does not support our strategy of focused differentiation.
We have set our advertising budget at $10,000,000. We offer a $3 rebate as part of our advertising
strategy. We are able to provide delivery within 1 week because most of our shoes are manufactured in
the country in which they are sold. We have few shipments between North America and Latin America.
VPF
We have issued 100,000 shares of stock and secured a 10-year bank loan of $8,000,000 to finance
operations. We declared a dividend of $.15 to provide a return to stockholders. We have plans to
ensure that ROE is at least 15% per year. We have plans to ensure that our cost of pairs sold is no more
