An analysis of the Harvard Business School case study on “Shanzai! Mediatek and the white box handset market”, written by Willy Shih, Chen-Fu Chien and Jyun-Cheng Wang. Using background analysis, a problem statement, problem analysis, identification and evaluation of alternatives and strategic recommendations, the paper examines one of the world’s leading wireless semiconductor companies, which unleashed a Shanzhai counterfeit market by offering an innovative “complete solution” for handset manufacturers utilising 2.5G / 2.75G technology. By bringing affordable handsets to the masses, the company now finds itself being able to provide innovative solutions to the latest 3G market, with its sights sets on internalization and increasing participation among tier one handset producers.
