Questions about Scientific Games What would you suggest Scientific Games management do to prevent others from leaving? What is Scientific Games sick leave policy? Scientific-Atlanta instead applied its energy to opportunities in new fields with large growth potential and few barriers to entry.
The company sought out products that were either low-cost and high volume or had a very high price tag. The company planned to make the low-cost, high volume end of this equation profitable through aggressive research and development and a strong marketing effort.
In its annual report, as reprinted in David C. Rickert's Harvard Business School case study of Scientific-Atlanta, the company stated: "Scientific-Atlanta operates under a disciplined business plan that concentrates on design, manufacture, and sale of standard technical products for the communications and instrumentation markets. The answer to that question was telecommunications products, primarily the satellite earth station, a large mobile dish used to receive signals transmitted from communications satellites orbiting the earth.
In the company displayed a portable satellite earth station at a communications trade show in California. It planned to sell the portable stations to companies in the relatively new and rapidly growing cable television field so they could transmit their programming to a large number of stations in different areas.
The stations, in turn, would send the programming to consumers' homes over their cable networks. At the time, however, observers told Scientific-Atlanta executives that satellite transmission of cable television programming would take place only in the distant future. These predictions proved incorrect and as the cable television industry boomed in the mid- to late s, Scientific-Atlanta grew with it.
The company's profits ballooned by 40 percent a year from on as Scientific-Atlanta came to dominate the market it had largely pioneered. Scientific-Atlanta's strength in satellite earth stations helped to enhance its overall sales of cable television equipment, and the company also began to market other components necessary to operate a cable television system.
In addition to its satellite products for the cable industry, Scientific-Atlanta manufactured testing and measuring devices for telecommunications, industrial, and laboratory use.
With these additions, Scientific-Atlanta boasted a sales network that covered 40 countries and was supported by a worldwide service network that adjusted and repaired its instruments. Both Scientific-Atlanta and Spectral Dynamics relied on continual research and development to bring new products to market, thereby enhancing market share and fostering company growth.
In addition to four plants in Atlanta, the company had opened facilities in Alabama, New Jersey, and Scotland. The following year the company added to its testing equipment holdings when it purchased Adar Associates, Inc. By the start of Scientific-Atlanta employed 2, people. That year the company also introduced Homesat, a subsidiary formed to market satellite equipment to homeowners who lived in areas too remote to receive adequate television reception.
In addition to its two main areas of operation--communications and instrumentation--Scientific-Atlanta also entered the field of home security and energy management during the s.
The company marketed wireless home alarm systems and provided equipment to utilities that enabled them to monitor home energy use. By the dawn of the s Scientific-Atlanta had become the world's largest supplier of satellite earth stations. The company moved to increase its cable-related operations when it bought Systems Communications Cable, Inc. Scientific-Atlanta's dominance of the cable television equipment field began to waver in the early s when the company developed quality control problems with its set-top converters, units placed on top of television sets to facilitate the broadcast of cable channels.
Eventually, Scientific-Atlanta was forced to abandon the manufacture of set-top converters in its American plants and contract with a Japanese electronics firm, Matsushita, to have them made overseas. Currency fluctuations between the yen and the dollar made this a far more risky and expensive proposition for the company than had domestic manufacture of the sets. Scientific-Atlanta's delay in marketing its set-top converter, which had been long-awaited in the industry, resulted in a sharp dip in the value of the company's stock.
In Scientific-Atlanta's fortunes took a decisive turn for the worse when the bottom dropped out of the cable industry. In its infancy, cable services had grown feverishly, but the business had now matured and slowed and in the early s cable entered a period of consolidation.
As companies went out of business or were swallowed up by others, the demand for cable satellite transmission equipment dropped dramatically. In late Scientific-Atlanta was dealt another blow when it failed to win a contract from the HBO and Showtime cable operations to develop equipment to scramble their signals, which homeowners were pirating out of the sky with their own satellite dishes.
Scientific-Atlanta found itself knocked out of the leading role in the industry it had largely invented. Facing this roadblock head on, the company decided to investigate other markets. In June Scientific-Atlanta announced that it would introduce a new line of products in the area of business communications. Using a newly developed satellite dish, the "very small aperture terminal" or VSAT, which dispatched and received encoded signals transmitted in a new, highly reliable "KU" broadcast band width, the company proposed to market private video networks to large corporations; with Scientific-Atlanta's equipment, companies could transmit high-quality video images from their headquarters to branch offices or between field offices through satellite technology.
Meetings, demonstrations, training sessions, and other types of programming and data could be more easily conveyed from one location to another. By offering video transmission--in addition to the ability to convey raw data such as figures and documents over fiber-optic telephone lines--Scientific-Atlanta hoped to make its system more useful and appealing to businesses than those of its competitors in the telecommunications industry.
In the early stages of the project, Scientific-Atlanta signed up nearly a dozen companies for its service, including General Motors and J. I loved the company. The people and management were easy to get along with. They were attentive to your needs and valued constructive input.
