Tata Ace
Marketing Statergy X MBA 18 – Vashi
Core II Herat Mehta

Henry Ford said that customers could get cars of any color as long as it was black, while Tata Motors went to customers before designing Ace and asked them about the price and features that they wanted. Compare and contrast between these two approaches? 1. Both the cases are related to Automobile industries. Mr. Ford is talking about passenger cars & tata is talking about commercial vehicles. Main points can be argued as follows. Ford Cars | Tata Ace | Passenger Vehicles | SCV | Already made a huge market & business | Trying to make a new segment in the business | Going for Mass production | Product aimed at saving the entire business. | Almost monopoly business as 50 % of the requirement was fulfilled by Ford | Looking for the new customer or converting customers for their product. | Assembly line production planned. | Product for the people & by the people concept. | Production can be faster as black is the fastest drying colour | Not clear about the achievable sales from the target 30,000 units per year. | Only colour becomes constraint for the prospective buyer. | The entire design concept is yet to be proved. |
To summarise, both the approaches look fine at their own stages.

Identify two activities done by Tata Motors while applying the marketing concept for developing Ace?

2. Implemented cross – functional teams which used 3P concept. (Production, preparation process) Extensive market study considering all possible factors like political, growth, development and also customer need and requirements.

What are the different types of benefits or gratifications that consumers can draw from a product or a service? Discuss with respect to the case?

3. The Benefits that the customers can take from Tata Ace:

    Tata Motors Case

    Tata Motors is an automotive company to take notice of. Representing the evolving Indian population and growing economy of one of the world’s key emerging markets, it is a market leader for commercial vehicles and third for passenger vehicles in the Indian market. It shocked the world by introducing the $2000 Nano in 2009 and also by growing its portfolio by purchasing Jaguar Land Rover, a company that at first glance embodies values and skills very different to its own. At the same time, Tata Motors has also made some very smart global moves through its purposeful joint ventures and subsidiaries and through its product adaptions to the local markets. However, Tata Motors needs to fully understand its domestic market, as well as the global automotive industry, in order to create a strategy that will ensure its future total success.…

    2. What factors do you think influence the rate at which consumers have adopted (or will adopt) the Tata Nano? Since the Nano was well publicized, and operates nearly identically to a typical car, information and complements (e.g., roads, service stations) will not pose obstacles to adoption of the Nano. There are other factors such as perceived safety, perceived status, and competing products as factors that will influence the rate of adoption. 3. What would have been the advantages or disadvantages of Tata collaborating with another automaker on the Tata? Who might it have collaborated with? If Tata had collaborated with another automaker, it would have been able to pool R&D funds and share some competencies that might have made it less expensive and less risky to develop the car. It…

    "De verdronkene" verscheen in april 2005. De eerste druk in een gebonden uitgave, de tweede in een paperbackversie. Deze tweede druk is bij de samenvatting gebruikt.
