Abstract: This case study enables an interesting discussion on how a technology company, whose business model was different from a FMCG company, started following the operating model of FMCG companies in its marketing strategies.

Moser Baer, the first global Indian company, transformed itself into a multi-technology firm by adopting related diversification strategy. It entered the home entertainment sector through forward integration with its core competency in manufacturing CDs/DVDs. It adopted the FMCG model in marketing its products after foraying into the movie video segment. However, the big question is to what extent will the model adopted by Moser Baer in marketing pay off?
