The Cialis case

Description

Please read the Cialis case carefully. Provide your answers/recommendations for the following problems:

  1. What are the most relevant dimensions along which to segment the patient market for ED treatment? Of the segments identified, which would you target initially with Cialis?
  2. What was Viagra’s positioning in the marketplace in 2002? How would you characterize the Viagra brand?
  3. What would be the most effective way to position Cialis in the marketplace?

Case analysis: two pages maximum of text. Your case write-up should contain the three parts: (1) overarching problem(s), (2) root causes of the overarching problem or bases for evaluation of solutions, and (3) main recommendations, but you should elaborate them in a more detailed way and emphasize your deep analyses of root causes and rationale behind your recommendation. The title page and appendices do not count toward this 2-page limit.
