Actual exam question for CIMA's CIMAPRA19-E03-1 exam
Question #: 103
Topic #: 1
[All CIMAPRA19-E03-1 Questions]

YZ operates a national mobile phone (cell phone) network in one country. It is considering upgrading its network to 4th Generation (4G) by providing an improved bandwidth that will enable its customers faster access to the Internet.

This investment will cost S29 million which YZ's institutional investors have agreed to provide by subscribing to a rights issue. This is due to management having informed institutional investors that a rival is already offering 4G and that this is taking customers away from YZ because its network is now regarded as too slow. YZ's remaining customers have shown a willingness to pay extra for 4G and overall the investment will have a positive net present value.

Which of the following statements are correct? (Choose all that apply.)

Upgrade or go extinct - that's the 4G dilemma facing YZ. I hope their institutional investors have their charging cables ready!

Ha! Good one. And option A - 'market development opportunity'? More like 'customer retention necessity' at this point.

I'm not sure about option B. First mover advantage? More like 'last mover disadvantage' if they don't act fast!

I agree, if they wait too long, they could lose even more customers to their rival.

Agreed. And option D seems valid too - the rival's 4G offering is a strategic threat that YZ needs to address.
