Risk of Entry by Potential Competitors. In a country that is well developed such as Malaysia, we have competition from public transport companies. These include the KTM and several bus companies such as City Liner. When we look at risk of entry, it should be clear that a high risk of entry by potential competitors’ leads to an alteration of the profitability of the existing companies in the industry, simply because the more companies that enter, the smaller the market share of established...

...decision was made to research new companies entering the market, have experienced mergers or globalization within the secondary sector with an emphasis on the automotive industry. Furthermore, a review of how pricing and sustainability of profits in the automotive industry is maintained. Government policies and regulations that influence the automotive industry, including taxes, and issues that are associated to externalities will be additionally reviewed. The automotive industry was established back in the late 1880s in Germany, where the first Benz was created. By World War II, the United States was the largest producer of automobiles with 75% of the global market. Between 1980 and 2000, a toggle back and forth between the United States and Japan on dominating the automotive industry occurred until most recently in 2011, China produced the equivalent amount of Japan and the United States combined. The automotive market has experienced a combination of influences on global production over the past five years. Much of the economic crisis influenced the industry, experienced a 12% reduction in 2009 and an increase of 26% in 2010, and a moderate increase of 3% in 2011 totaling 80 million cars in production (United States Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2012). The automotive manufacturing industry appears to be a vertical integration state. With companies as Ford that owns Lincoln, Mercury, and Volvo along with a 13.4% ownership of Mazda, one sees a variation...

...Luxury Car Retailing & Trends Executive Summary A luxury car is indeed a status symbol that is a reflection of one’s personality and power in society. There is a steady increase in luxury car customers globally as there is a rise in income, wealth and urbanization. It is more of a dream come true of the rising middle class to purchase and own a luxury car. After the global financial crisis (Reyneke et al., 2012) hit the luxury auto market, it was interesting to find that the younger generation maintained their spending habits and joined the baby boomers who were already major consumers of luxury cars. However, the concept of cars being a boy toy has certainly evolved with the emergence of female consumers . These women are driven by their need to showcase their power and independence. The finest example are the Chinese and Middle Eastern women who have come out of their cocoons and protested against a male dominated culture and purchasing luxury cars were a part of that change. As the younger generation have become more environmentally conscious, luxury car retailers have adopted the ‘go green’ concept by bringing out diesel run and electric cars. Another trend that is picking up is the customization of cars. Luxury car retailers have chosen to customize their car for their customers providing them exclusivity and satisfaction as the customers get what they exactly want. The sales for luxury cars from 2012 to 2014 have been forecasted to increase steadily but there are...

...Graduate School Econ 545 8-20-2014 GDP Growth Rate Automobile industry has been affected by many factors that cut across the US economy both internal and externally. Since the end of the recession, the GDP of the United States was subjected to various economic and political constraints. The same has happened in European developed countries and other Asian nations, where the level of debt has remained high and yet the development baseline scenario is still high. For the case of the United States and in close relation with the automobile industry, the output in terms of growth has remained stagnant and is continuously becoming constrained because of the highly deleveraging and tough influences and uncertainties of the outlined policies. J.D power and associates analyst Jeff Schuster stated that there was a reduction in the number of sales during the first half of 2011 economic year. The reduction is believed to have resulted from a lack of customer confidence on the products (Akerson, 2014). Macroeconomists have for a long time outlined that GDP strongly depends on consumption and the percentage of consumption dictating GDP at any given time stands at 70%. However, in August of 2011, the consumer based comfort index became the weakest since March of 2009, and the confidence level among the US-based consuming community dropped to the lowest level since the 2008 financial crisis (Hubbard & Antony, 2012). Automobiles are long term or durable products that most customers...

...Ford Motor Company Industry Background The Automotive Industry is one of the most important industries in the economic sector worldwide. Most of the industrialized countries produce their own brand of cars and/or trucks. According to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers statistics, during the year 2010, over 78 million of cars and trucks were produced in over 50 countries worldwide, with China, Japan and the United States as the world top three producers. The Automotive Industry started in Germany with the introduction of the gasoline power internal combustion engine in 1876 by Nikolous Otto (the same type of engine that is used today). In 1885 Karl Benz started the first production of an automobile, a three wheeler that was delivered for the first time in 1886. In Springfield Massachusetts, the Duryea brothers, Charles and Frank, were fascinated with Karls Benz’s idea of a “horseless carriage” and in September 1893, they successfully road tested their automobile on the streets of Springfield. The Duryea Motor Wagon Company became the first automobile production factory in America and by 1896 they had sold a grand total of 13 “horseless carriages” (Wright R.A, 1996). After the Duryea Brothers, many others followed with the most famous being Henry Ford, who established The Ford Motor Co. It was said that at one point America had over “one thousand small factories” producing automobile (Bellis M. n.d.). The Automotive Industry quickly became the...

...Assessing the Environment In The US Automobile Industry US automobile industry started booming after the recession and became an important part of the US economy. Low interest rate, cheap gas price, and new technologies of car influence buyers to get a new car. The US automobile industry consists of almost 200 companies and their annual revenue is about 280 billion (Automobile Manufacturing, n.d.). Last year US automobile industry sold record 17.5 million cars and trucks, which is a 5.7% increase from 2014 fiscal year (Spector, Bennett, & Stoll, 2016). The top four US automobile manufacturers are General motors, Toyota, Ford, and Chrysler, who account for about 70% of the total automobile sales. US based automakers face rivalry problems with foreign companies such as Toyota, Honda, and Nissan because of their cheap labor cost and no union problem. However, these companies also have their assembly lines in US, and hold around 45% of the US auto industry. US automakers are also taking advantage of NAFTA by assembling autoes in Mexico and Canada with lower labor costs (Automobile Manufacturing, n.d.). Usually 75% of the materials account for the selling price of a US made car. US companies have also increased importation of parts from abroad which helps them increase their profitability. Features like extended warranty, extended service plan, safety features, and fuel efficiency help attract consumers and increase sales. US retail sales have increased 7.00%...

Because of the declining market for Philippine exports and the resulting capital flight, the industry was left with only two international participants (PAMCOR-Mitsubishi Nissan) and in 1984. Furthermore, only 40 local parts manufacturers remained in operation, dramatically less than the participation of 220 firms 2 years before the crisis. More comprehensive programs such as the Car Development Program (CDP) and the Commercial Vehicle Development Program (CVDP) were implemented to address the shortcomings of earlier development programs and to provide a long-term solution to the ensuing economic crisis.

...Automobile industry). With a population of over 1.2 billion people, India has a huge market potential for automobiles. In the Indian Automobile Industry, India has become a leading center in producing small cars. In the year 2006, Ratan Tata of Tata Motors conceived the idea of a tiny car at an extremely cheap price to capture the potential of the rapidly growing middle class segment. The outcome was the Tata Nano, the world’s cheapest car priced at one lakh INR. Rolled out from Tata Motors as the world’s cheapest car in the year 2009, the indigenous Tata Nano achieved immediate success, fulfilling its promises of a complete car at an affordable price for the middle class masses. The Tata’s had relied rather heavily on the publicity of their product. But rather than leveraging this publicity, Tata became complacent about the communication strategy. The USP of the product, the “cheapest” price tag, had backfired miserably, and actually shunned its sales. The status conscious customer obviously did not want to get associated with the tag of “Poor man’s car”, and would rather opt for slightly pricier rival options. Hence, instead of being perceived as a functional step above the motorcycle as it was intended to be, the Tata Nano started being largely perceived as a cut-price car. The Tata Nano was initially conceived as a safe personal mobility alternative to the huge section of the Indian two wheeler riding population, at an equally competitive price. But the safety of the car came...
