Introduction -
This Swot analysis examines and identifies the strengths, weaknesses ,opportunities and threats that are associated with AVIS car rental, to give a broad view outlining the key factors that will impact on the organization's ability to achieve its purpose and vision.

Conclusion - Avis Singapore has many strengths, but there main competitors also possess some of their strengths, Avis Singapore are involved in a extremely competitive industry, were the environment has a lot more threats than opportunities and very small room for growth.

Future Growth
The future projected growth is looking like there is going to be a fall in demand for car rental hire because of all the non industry competitors such as public transport and taxi services being more preferred and efficient. Avis still may take more of the market if they make changes that will make them more competitive.

Increasing Market Share

Avis’s 4.4% share market being the 5th largest amount of market percentage of the industry, needs ways to improve its market share, To do this we need to assess the customer’s needs and what the customers want, Try to be unique from other competitors and creating a more powerful identity, They main keys to increasing market share are the price of the services, how the business promotes the company and attracts its customer base, the place where the service is issued and the service itself.

Avis needs to find out who their current customer base is and segment them into various groups based on their level and type of service they used.
Avis will then have an idea of what part of their service is not meeting the standards they have set, if certain cars aren’t being rented and used, Avis might have to think of slightly lowering the price to hire those cars in order to attract people to hire them and get full use of these assets.

An important thing Avis must do is form a bond with its customers to ensure they retain these customers and encourage them to use their service next time they need to rent a car. Avis can’t afford to lose any of their frequent uses to other competitors.

Avis also needs to determine the demographics and size of the market that is currently using and not using their service. This will show Avis what substantial audience’s they aren’t attracting and missing out on. They can then know who their consumers are and who they need to target and how they go about trying to target them.
Avis may want to conduct a consumer preference survey with potential new customers to help them with this task.

Avis could look at how 36% of Singapore’s population are foreigners and assuming that since they most likely won’t be staying long in Singapore there unlikely to purchase cars and will be looking to rent a car when travelling long distances, Avis can try to find away to attract these potential customers. Avis could also consider targeting tourists that have children by having more family cars, as they are the more keen on hiring a car as it is more convenient.

There main focus should still be on Business travellers as they make up the main market for the car rental industry, they can increase their market share in this area by the use of non-substitutable recourses such as having workers and drivers who have up-front contact with the customers have excellent communication skills that are pleasant , are able to hold a conversation with the customers and are able to provide assistance, having some workers who are able to speak several languages can also be great benefit, this will make the service a lot more enjoyable for the customer and will give the company a competitive advantage

Avis can try to set up a marketing campaign to try and promote themselves to the new potential customers, special promotions will help compliment the campaign.
They can advertise the company on a travel websites or airline websites which is a very safe option because it is not too expensive and you have a specific audience going on those websites.

Avis needs to try to be unique and do something that competitors don’t do, things such as doing a deal were if the consumer travels under a certain amount of kilometres they don’t have to pay for petrol, this will attract those who need to hire a car but aren’t travelling a far distance. Having a partnership with certain hotels , making it more convenient for tourists, they can book there hotel and the car rental is included in the package or they get a discount.
Avis has the opportunity to Introduce new eco-friendly range of cars, which may attract more people to use their service as they are being socially responsible. The cars are generally more cheaper to purchase and run giving a advantage over competitors.

These are just some things Avis can do to increase their market share and get ahead of their competitors.

External forces/ factors

There are many external forces or factors that might affect Singapore’s car rental market, these factors are those the industry have little or no control over that may affect the market and provide opportunities or have a negative effect . These factors comprise of Political, Economical, Sociocultural, Technological, Legal. Some of these factors/forces are as follow:

In the Graph below it displays the petrol prices for Caltex in Singapore over a 24 month period, the graph shows that petrol prices are increasing and if they continue to increase further this will effects the car rental industry, because car rental services require the customer to pay for the petrol consumption this will make it even more expensive for the customers, they have to pay a large sum for the higher of the car and for petrol which may repulse customers from using the service. It also has an effect on Car rental services who offer Chauffer drivers, in this case the company is the one paying for the petrol hence they will have to bump up the cost of the chauffer service.

Petrol watch, price history, 2011, viewed 11th April 2011 http://www.petrolwatch.com.sg/price-history/

A sociocultural force that might have an effect on the market is climate change, due to people now having more knowledge about climate change and the impact to the environment cars have, They will be looking for other options to travel.

With Singapore being the 3rd dense country in the world, being a very small country with only a 699.1 square kilometre land area and a very large population of over 5mllion people and growing. Traffic would be a major problem a result of this, there would be a large amount of congestion on the Singapore roads , which would be a hassle to travel around and would consume a lot more petrol and pollute the planet, it would also be much for faster to use public transport.

Certain Competitors in the car rental industry may also be a factor if they introduce something new that other companies don’t have will affect the market, A company may decide to lower their prices significantly which will make other companies lower their prices to stay competitive.

Car dealers may lower the price of their cars they are selling this may lead to people actually being able to afford buying their own car instead of renting a car.

“According to the World Bank “Doing Business 2010 Report,” Singapore economy is considered to be the easiest to do business in. in. In fact, Singapore has been awarded the most competitive country in Asia. Some favorable findings about Singapore stated in the report:
>Ranked No.1 for having the most open and liberal economy for international trade
>Ranked No.2 as the economy with the best investment potential
>Ranked #1 in Asia and #4 in the world for having low levels of corruption in the economy” Economy Watch 2011, world economy, Singapore economy, http://www.economywatch.com/world_economy/singapore viewed 6th April 2011.
Going by this reference Singapore being a country highly regarded for its Business sector, that it is the most open economy for international trade and has the second best investment potential. Which leads to more overseas investors and Business travelers coming over to Singapore for a short period of time and they are most likely going to use a car rental service this will give the industry a boost and give’s Avis a chance to gain more customers. Another impact this may have on the car rental industry will make it more competitive and will make companies target these Business travelers more.

...Choosing an Ethical Villain for Iron Man 3 Grand Canyon University: MGT-605 05/22/2016 Choosing an Ethical Villain for Iron Man 3 The purpose of this paper is to discuss the controversial decisions taken by the production company Marvel Studios in the movie Iron Man 3 and to evaluate the effectiveness of the leadership techniques used, in terms of powerbases, influence tactics, and leadership style by CEO, Isaac “Ike” Perlmutter. This paper will also evaluate the potential outcome of the situation from a servant leadership perspective. Ethical Situation Shane Black, the director and co-writer of Iron Man 3, in an interview with Uproxx, has revealed that he was forced to change the entire original Iron Man 3 script in order to swap the gender of the film’s villain from female to male after pressure from the production company Marvel, which feared female toy merchandise would not sell as well as the male version (Ryan, 2016). From the interview, it sounds like Rebecca Hall could have been the real villain behind Aldrich Killian instead of what we saw on the big screen. Changes like this happen during rewrites all the time, but hearing that this decision was made simply because it would impact toy sales is shocking. This is the ugly side of having a franchise that pulls in millions of dollars in revenue from merchandise. Black points out the decision must have been made by Ike who has already been called out several times for his lack of diversity, in terms of gender...

...picture is so compelling, so painfully clear, that it simply cannot be ignored. Faced with it, all one can do is carefully explore the contours of the ancient and the new, hoping to retain enough responsibility to open his eyes to the differences when they manifest themselves. This is what the current paper sets out to do. Though hundreds of years and thousands of miles stand between 16th century Italy and 20th century Singapore, between the writings of Niccolò Machiavelli and the statecraft of Lee Kuan Yew, the similarities are extraordinary. This paper will argue that the political views and actions of Singapore’s ruling elite – more precisely, those of the country’s ‘founding father’ Lee Kuan Yew – can be powerfully interpreted through an application of Machiavellian principles. This interpretation takes place on two levels. First, the political actions of Singapore’s ruling People’s Action Party (PAP) can be shown to consistently reflect Machiavelli’s prescriptions for maintaining an authoritarian regime, diffusing discontent and crushing opposition. Singapore is a country where human rights have come to be seen as nonessential in the race towards national economic excellence. Riding on the wave of modernity and capitalism, the government provides...

The political image of a country is vital in attracting foreign investment. Singapore’s effort to address this concern has successfully sculptured a clean and corruption-free image. Singapore’s efficient and transparent bureaucracy makes it an attractive destination for foreign investors, such as River Island. Thus, the cross-cultural knowledge attuned toward factual information and to develop the skills to attain the knowledge into action is being mandatory. (Kedia, and Mukherji, 1999). As a global manager it is unavoidable to work with people in different cultural backgrounds.

Men try to gain power and glory and men knows that they cannot gain power and glory without unity. Men try to gain unity through many ways and history has shown us that most of the attempt to unite the people has failed. Men will unite when they have similarities and most great leaders of the past have tried to use the factor of race to unite the people. Genghis Khan has tried to unite the Mongol and Hitler has tried to unite the German. These great leaders try to achieve unity using race as the factor of unity. They unite their race by inculcating in their heart the same desire. They inculcate the desire to become great people by conquering other people and to amass their wealth. Without having unity of purpose people cannot be united unless they have the same desire or goal .Genghis Khan and Hitler inculcate in the heart of their people the same desire to become the Great people that conquer and control others. In order to unite the people, the leaders try to make the people to have the same goal or desire .The easiest desire to inculcate is the desire to have power and wealth.

Issues and Effectiveness of Measures to Curb Anti-Foreign Sentiments in Singapore

...SUBJECT: Issues and effectiveness of measures to curb anti-foreign sentiments in Singapore One of the diverse issues which have caused lots of unhappiness among many Singaporeans in the recent years is the influx of foreigners and immigrants into Singapore (Kwang, 2012). This issue dates back to as early as in the 1970’s where Singapore opened its doors to foreigners particularly to Malaysia, being Singapore’s neighbouring country. This Malaysians who came to Singapore were low skilled foreign labourers. But since early 2000, Singapore’s floodgates were opened too wide to welcome a surge of foreigners and immigrants to curb the problem of dwindling population and to sustain a steady economic growth in Singapore. Many Singaporeans felt threatened and angry with the influx of foreign labours. Singaporeans feel that it’s due to this sudden influx of foreigners in Singapore that has lead to overcrowded buses and trains, sky-high property prices, litter in public places, increased crime rates, fatal road accidents, competition with foreigners for jobs and resources (Kwang, 2012). The reason this report was undertaken is to look into the issue of anti-foreign sentiments in Singapore and to assess and analyse the effectiveness of the measures put in place by the government to curb this issue. Immigration to Singapore According to the 2010 Singapore census, the non-resident population increased at an unparalleled pace in the first decade of the 21st century...
