Besides PJs, another product that APJ Inc. is forced to produce due to its presence in hel(L) is ‘Globe’. Globe is a niche product using ‘common sense’ as its primary input and packaged with attractive management jargons. The product life cycle for globe involves a 5 week production phase followed by a one week sales phase. The site of globe production in hel(L) is called PGP block. The total duration required for globe production per course per term is 30 hours. The two most popular markets for sale of globe are mid terms and end terms.
Globe in these markets is traded in a currency called ‘Marks’. The rising exchange rates have led to most players selling their products at very low prices. While some buyers have been generous enough to offer fair prices, most have undervalued the products. Further, post purchase these products are rated by a number of different ‘Globe Rating Agencies’ like Chitta bhi pitta hai & Co., Bulldog & Co., Matman & Co, Prima Facie & Co., Core-mo-core & Co. etc. The measure of globe rating is called CGPA – a rating on a scale of 10 indicating the effectiveness of the globe.
APJ Inc is continuously facing problems with the consistently falling globe ratings. In the first quarter of the previous financial year, APJ Inc posted an overall globe rating of 6.33 which fell to 5 pointers in the subsequent quarters finishing the year at just over 5.5. The market leader in terms of Globe rating has been Aby & Co scoring over 9 pointers in each quarter of the first year. However, with the results of first quarter of 2nd year expected soon, the market might possibly witness emergence of a new market leader. News have been doing the rounds of M.M. & Co. posting high sales across territories and possibly replacing Aby & Co. at the top spot. According to sources Aby & Co. is likely to lose out on the top spot only due to unfair pricing of its products in a territory called MFS. It is also speculated that Aby & Co. is likely to be rated B+ for the first time in its history by Bulldog & Co. More information about the ratings will only be available after the announcement of the results.

I am sure that this is just an aberration and that Aby and co. will come back again the next quarter. MM and Co. is relatively new and is not so high on the sames of CG as compared to the TG. This relative difference will certainly secure the position of Aby and Co. as the overall market leader. The markets are down now a days and the MM effect will fade away...
