With the quarter ending December 2016 closing on a sour note after a loss of 79.7 million, Johnson Controls-Hitachi Air Conditioning India Limited found itself reassessing its business expansion strategies. The company's stand-alone net profit in fiscal year 2015-16 was down 35.73 per cent from the previous fiscal year. Its launch of a new range of imported air purifiers in 2015 as part of its expansion plan may have hit an obstacle with the dip in profits. Should the company enter into new segments such as air coolers, water dispensers, and water purifiers to increase its product portfolio and revenue? Considering that competitors were already fighting it out in these segments, would the timing be right? What strategic capabilities could the company leverage, and what were the possible obstacles to success in the new segments?
