1.Vic Corporation refines petrol and sells it through its own petrol gas stations. On the basis of market research, Vic Corporation determines that 60% of the overall petrol market consists of “service-oriented customers,” medium- to high-income individuals who are willing to pay a higher price for gas if the gas stations can provide excellent customer service, such as a clean facility, a convenience store, friendly employees, a quick turnaround, the ability to pay by credit card, and high-octane premium petrol. The remaining 40% of the overall market are “price shoppers” who look to buy the cheapest petrol available. Vic Corporation’s strategy is to focus on the 60% of service-oriented customers. Vic Corporation’s balanced scorecard for 2018 follows. For brevity, the initiatives taken under each objective are omitted.
