  • Goldline Curling English Version
    2017 VANIER COLLEGE BDC GOLDLINE CURLING ENGLISH VERSION SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2017 CHRISTOPHER A. ROSS JOHN MOLSON SCHOOL OF BUSINESS CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY ©2016 Christopher A. Ross P a g e | 1 GOLDLINE CURLING INTRODUCTION September 12th, 2016 was an important day for Mr. Doug Flowers, President, Goldline Curling (GC), Toronto, Canada. After approximately two and half years of development, he had taken delivery of 48 samples of a new and modern curling brush1, the AIR, replacing an old model that GC had been marketing for the past twenty years. GC finally had a new product that could be used by elite players in various curling tournaments. This new product was GC’s response to the 2011 introduction by Hardline Curling (Hardline) of a competitive “revolutionary” curling brush. The fabric covering the head of this brush had significantly altered the nature of the game. In 2014, GC began taking the competitive threat seriously but after much controversy in the curling world regarding the “revolutionary” curling brush, Flowers was wondering whether he was on the right track with his competitive response, and if he was, what strategy should he use to launch the AIR in the Canadian and global markets. Launching the new product was an extremely important decision for Flowers since brushes contributed 25% to GC’s annual revenue. THE GAME OF CURLING2 The game of Curling was played on ice. Players used three major pieces of equipment: a brush, a granite rock and special shoes when throwing the rock and sweeping the ice. The brush had three parts: the shaft, which ideally should be very light, the plastic head, and the foam pad that fit into the head and was covered with fabric.
