    Porsche Case Analysis

    Rawlinson’s concern is to succeed to attract a new segment of the market and to change both users’ behavior and perception towards the Porsche products. In fact, what is common for the Porsche users is that they tend not to use their vehicle during winter time; a habit that they acquired because of the weather conditions that damage their precious and usually wellmaintained car. Worldwide, Porsche takes part into the market of high end luxurious cars, it competes with brands known as being highly ranked in their range (Lexus, Mercedes). So is the case in the Canadian market. Porsche is a brand that captivates a certain category of buyers, with an average age of 45 years old certainly ones with a high income and a good social status who can afford the car’s price. The different models offered by Porsche makes it possible for the brand to capture the interest of different users all along the years. Five models of Porsche are displayed to please the interest of the brand’s amateurs who are usually into this brand since their early age. The Canadian market had witnessed an evident decrease in sales that went down by 17 % between 2007 and 2008 due to the financial crisis not because of the relocation of Porsche Canada. The challenge is that even though the luxury car market is filled with competitors such us BMW, Audi, Mercedes Benz and Jaguar, the users are more attracted to standard and basic sports…

    Case Study: Chrysler

    • 836 Words
    • 4 Pages

    In 1998, a merger of German automaker Daimler Benz AG (Daimler) and the American auto giant Chrysler Corp. (Chrysler), presented as “merger of equals” took place. However, after almost a decade, the once hailed as “the marriage made in heaven” turned out to be a complete failure and ended in May 2007. The merger of Daimler and Chrysler failed to live up the name due to clashing corporate cultures of the two companies, strategic missteps, and radical changes in trends of US auto industry. Chrysler’s decreasing profits was due to huge legacy of health-care cost, shift in consumer demand, increasing fuel prices and competition from Asian carmakers. The struggling and loss-making Chrysler was sold to New York-based private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. (Cerberus), for $7.4 billion, acquiring 80.1% in Chrysler, including its financial service business Chrysler Financial. Daimler remained having a 19.9% stake in Chrysler. At the time Cerberus took over, Chrysler was already in the midst of a turnaround plan that includes the elimination of 13,000 jobs and a huge investment of $3 billion a year for new product development to meet shifting consumer demand. Would this private equity firm, Cerberus be able to turn around the distressed Chrysler and be its holy grail?…

    The case studies emphasise that all three racing teams focussed on different strategies. Their strategies changed within the environment and circumstances, but what is overwhelmingly evident is that a team needs all the elements to be in synergy and for focus to be on every aspect of the strategy. As the old adage, ‘A team is only as strong as its weakest link.” This means that in order to be successful and to maintain success, you’ve got to get all the elements right, the overall package, the budget, the designer, the engine, the drivers, the organisation and every aspect, from what is deemed most important to the least important, all play an essential part of sustaining a winning team.…
