    Le Petit Chef

    Le Petit Chef’s poor performance can be attributed to a few things. The competition of the other companies developing products that directly competes with them such as Electrolux and Bosch-Siemens. Both companies have developed low-end microwave ovens that are seemingly very attractive to potential customer because of their brand recognition and the price of the products. Another explanation for their poor performance is the company’s lack to differentiate their lines. It is important to have visible differentiation for products so the retailer sees the difference of their products.

Hence communalism is a phenomenon of superimposition of religious beliefs on all other aspects of a man’s life.

Ingrained in this concept of communalism are three mistaken beliefs…
