The given simulation is related with Handheld Corporation. The company has launched three new sets which are X5, X6 and X7. The overall objective of the company is to maximize its profitability (PDA Sim, 2008). For the given purpose, the company wants to change the price strategy and R&D allocation of these three products. The overall estimation of the profitability of the company is based on the results of the third and final simulation.
Module 04
In the first run of the simulation, the price strategy for these three products is as follows:
For product X5 the price is kept the same, for product X6, the price strategy is increased for the coming two years and the price for the same product is kept as it is in the next two years and the price strategy for the product X7 is diminished.
In contrast to the price strategy, the changes in the R&D allocation of all the three products are quite different (Nagle & Holden, 2002). For product X5, the percentage of R&D allocation is reduced two times during the run of the simulation. This reduction was in first year and in 2008. But for the same product, it has been increased in the last year, i.e. 2009.
By doing above changes in the price strategy and R&D allocation of these three products, the financial results of the first round of simulation shows that in the year 2006 the profits and revenue level of the company have ascended.

The comparison of the data of the year 2007 from the previous data gives some new results. The financial results of the year 2007, shows that although the overall profitability of these three products is increased, yet the profits of the product X5 are declined.
