Mass customization is the talk of the town. So do we all want to participate in making our own stuff? Or is mass customization ultimately limited in its appeal? Is this a viable solution. Lets discuss on this

Mass customization according to me is not possible in most of the industries. Especially in India where the consumers differ greatly in their culture, preferences etc. It sounds simple , but is going to be a difficult task to implement.

mass communication is a good idea becoz as brand makes a space in the minds of the consumer, for eg, raymonds suiting & shirting tragets the premium class and this brand is being purchased by the purchased the off targets ( middle class ) specially at the wedding season. besides,there is always a shift by  a consumer from one level to the other.

I know that many companies like Adidas and other life style companies and looking into mass customization to attract customers. I think it’s a viable strategy and more companies will surely adopt this strategy in the future

I agree with vijay that mass customisation is not possible , because both the words , mass & customisation are of contrasting nature . What some companies are doing is probably creating a niche.
