Topic Discussion:
China's 'bandit phones' making big scores
Source: http://edition.cnn.com/2009/TECH/07/29/china.fake.phones/index.html?iref=intlOnlyonCNN
Questions and discussions:
1. Please introduce your cellphone to your group mates. What are your main concerns and needs for a mobile phone, such as price, functionality, or safety?
2. Have you ever used any "bandit products"? Do you want to own a "shanzhai gi"? Why or why not?
3. In your opinion, how does the shanzhai phenomenon affect the consumer market? Why do bandit phones generate amazing sales numbers?
4. According to this article, shanzhai companies are not only copying the major brands but are also moving into the realm of creativity. Do you agree with this assessment? Why do you think some bandit phones are able to have features like two or more SIM card slots, but not phones from name brands?
5. Do you think the success of bandit phones would threaten the famous brands, such as HTC, Apple, Nokia and so on? If they were legal to buy in Taiwan and could be purchased without a contract for a low fee, would you consider them?
6. What are some potential risks of the bandit phones? The article also mentions how a company called Mediatek helps enable the shanzhai phenomenon. Please explain the business model described in the article. Why do you think many shanzhai companies are seeing their margins drop rapidly nowadays?
