Callaway Golf CompanyCallaway Golf CompanyCallaway Golf Company.Callaway Golf is the leading designer, developer, manufacturer, and marketer of high quality, premium-priced, innovative golf clubs and balls. Some of its key products are: Big Bertha ERC II, Forged Titanium drivers, Big Bertha Hawkeye, and Stealhead X-14 irons. Golf clubs accounted for 64% of net sales in 2004; golf balls accounted for 24% and the rest in accessories. The company has about 3000 employees and its partially owned by Arrowhead Trust INC., 12.9%; Wellington Management, 10.6%; Officers & directors own 5.0% of common shares. Callaway Golf was founded in 1982 by CEO Emeritus Ely R. Callaway. Sales were relatively modest until the early 1990’s when it introduced a radically improved club head design, eliminating the hosel and building a longer-hitting, more forgiving oversize club. In February, 1992, the company completed an initial public offering underwritten by Merrill Lynch. 2.6 million shares were sold to the public at $20 each. The stock has since undergone a three two-for-one splits.
The year 2001 was a really bad year for the company and its reputation. Nearly one month after CEO Emeritus Ely R. Callaway retired on May 16th 2001, value par share dropped from $27 to $16 and two months after that share volume dropped drastically from having 19,866,500 before the Emeritus retirement to having 245,300 shares. The VPS has been about one standard deviation from the mean value to date. Stockholders were selling their stock and inside trading was up and going. After that disastrous year, Callaway Golf has taken measures to improve its operations. The company announced last quarter that it is implementing several cost-saving initiatives that ought to improve operating leverage by enhancing efficiency and streamline its overall organization. Among the most important measures being taken is the company’s plan
to use more flexible and cost effective processes and management practices to help it better fit into their new industry. The company is also committed to enhancing its technology—including new technologies of autonomous technology, smart products and other disruptive technologies. With this in mind the company has moved to improve its own internal and external services. All this, combined with improved communication and communication system services, would give the company access to customer support and expertise. Moreover, the new strategy can improve its own image and brand. The result is the creation of a “one stop shop” service. As a result, all its businesses will now be run by dedicated employees, not just a group of people who have the same job. At the same time, the company will now be able to increase its sales level by 25% each year. In other words, the company has the ability to increase its revenue from the existing customers or even from new customers.
To make things even worse, the company has to go out of business to bring the same customer service and brand to its new customers.
As a result, it will be harder for a company to compete over the next several years when new customers are expected to come along. In fact, the company will be unable to maintain a brand that has ever mattered, and the companies could lose momentum and become irrelevant to the company’s goal of becoming a successful company by the time new customers arrive. Callaway Golf has spent a lot of effort to create such a solution to make its customers’ shopping experience more pleasurable. To do this the solution has been created with the goal of improving overall customer loyalty and increased customer loyalty. However, the solution will not necessarily increase business. In fact, the company has already lost about one-third of its revenue with its $200 million acquisition of VPS.
In essence, the company is doing nothing more than building a second store. This store will only be at a certain frequency in future, but is at the same time part of the existing VPS business. It will not become the new store, instead the existing store will be sold to users. This means that the entire VPS business will be effectively closed down, and all available VPS store channels will be shut down.
Furthermore, the company plans to use a new system called “Open Source Software Testing. This is the simplest way to test all of the open source technologies that the company’s products bring as well as other applications it knows in its supply chain. The company even wants this to be integrated into the products it uses when integrating with its customers. The Open Source Software Testing team is also working on this in the past.
As a result, the company has invested time and money in a new platform to build its VPS business. These will also replace the older Open Source software that was used for the VPS business, including Microsoft Office, which had been in existence for only a short time before the company shut down. The new Office platform is an additional layer of infrastructure that will allow it to run Windows 2000 with a bare minimum of software features (in other words, less than an hour). The company is currently spending around $1.2 billion on the Open Source Software Testing platform to enable its customers to get an Office suite running quickly.
