Abstract

This video has been prepared to accompany the Harvard case series 'Barco Projection systems'. The video presents an interview of Erik Dejonghe, Senior Vice-President and COO of Barco. This short version starts with Mr Dejonghe stating what happened since the case was written. He then covers the following topics: (1) what's the difference between 'generic' vs 'niche' products in video projectors; (2) how to find new application areas (importance of owning one's own distribution); (3) the implications of proliferating applications on the product line; (4) the extent to which the dependency on Sony for supplying tubes is not strategically a problem; and (5) what are the challenges Barco faces in the future. A full version is available. A video transcript is also available.
