Task 1

1.1 Missions, Core Competencies, and Visions:

Autoglass Company Mission:

All the future missions of an organization are fixed before starting to execute strategies to fulfill all the missions and those missions are formed based on the ongoing situations of the organization. Autoclass Company prepare all those activities by focusing on customer satisfaction. By fulfilling the missions, an organization takes shape and the objective becomes clearer.

Autoglass Company Core Competency:

Core competencies characterize the core operations of an organization. A core competency is a concept of theory that specifies the factors that a business sees as central to the way the company or its employees work (Grant M. R., 2010). It shapes the business missions and visions of that particular organization (Kotler, P., 2000). In case of Autoglass the core competency is that they can replace or repair any kind of broken or damaged windshield of any model, no matter what (Autoglass Company).

Autoglass Company Vision:

Vision of an organization is the future intentions and target that an organizations try to achieve by defining the missions and setting goals and objectives to accomplish (Kotler, P., 2000). It’s like foreseeing the future. The vision of The Autoglass Company is to serve the customers efficiently and provide their customers with the highest level of satisfaction (Autoglass Company). The vision of serving their customers with integrity and loyalty is expected to lead them to grow and set the boundaries higher in the industry.

Strategic Intent:

The notion of strategic intent proposes that there is a general outlook on where the business should be going rather than a decisive affirmation of an anticipated outcome and this means that there should be abounding of flexibility inside the statement to allow for employees start, group contribution and adaptation in lightweightweight of changed attenuating factors (Ivanauskiene, N, & Auruskeviciene, V., 2009). The strategic intent of Autoglass is to see itself as the market foremost habitually. They are doing all the undertakings to remain foremost.

Role of strategy of Autoglass:

The major task in strategic management is commonly the compilation and dissemination of the illusion and the method affirmation. This outlines, in essence, the raison d'etre of an association (Ivanauskiene, N, & Auruskeviciene, V., 2009). Autoglass has amassed their purposes in scheme making in a way that the designs maintain an exact time span in the execution (Autoglass Company).

Objective and goals of Autoglass:

The foremost target of Autoglass is to satisfy their clientele by fixing or refurbishing broken windscreen of any vehicle. The aim of Autoglass is to make their enterprise augment and aid the global clientele (Autoglass Company). They are increasing their enterprise by triumphant the hearts of the customers.

Strategic Architecture of Autoglass:

The strategic architecture of any association is the method of answering the five rudimentary inquiries of making the scheme. The inquiries are compilation of “What”, “What Else”, “What More”, “What Now”, “How” (Grant M. R., 2010). By responding these questions Autoglass forms their strategic organisations of the company.

1.2 Vital Concerns Involved in Strategic planning

In order plan strategies and implement operations there are some vital issues that are needed to be considered. Based on the case, Ansoff’s model can be used to analyze the competitive advantages of Autoglass Company (Kotler, P., 2000).

Autoglass is putting their focus on the customer’s preference and customer service. They have reached the highest satisfaction level in the service industry just by replacing the windscreen in a cost effective way. Autoglass should be customer oriented and try to increase their service portfolio in order to meet with the competition.Given the circumstances in the case we can enquiry the competitive benefits of Autoglass.

Autoglass’s Competitive Benefits:

Autoglass offers the premium service of replacing or repairing windscreens. Not only that, they are also providing their customers with several other services regarding wind screens problems. By doing so they are grabbing a fair share of the market (Autoglass Company). As Autoglass is growing day by day, they can use the Ansoff’s model to analyze their competitive advantages over others. The Ansoff’s model is given below:

4

Page 6: Bs 46

Autoglass is providing services to more than one million customers who are having problems with their windshields every year. Ansoff’s model of Growth suggests four different sets of alternatives (Armstrong, G., &Kotler, P., 2006). Based on the scenario and research, we learned that Autoglass is expanding its market gradually and has the capability to serve more than they are doing now. So based on the present scenario, Autoglass can serve customers with their existing products and can also introduce them with new means of services (Automotive Industry, 2013). These four alternative strategies face different types of risks. The strategies are:

Market penetration: A marketing strategy hereby an organization hunt for gain greater ascendency in a market in which it even now has an offering (Melody, Y. & Kevin, H., 2000). This strategy frequently focuses on seizing a larger share of a dominant market. In this strategy Autoglass can rise its market segments by selling more of their products and attract more customers.

Product development: By product development we mean either inventing a new product or improving old products with new features. Autoglass can introduce a new product to the market that would complement the existing products. But this strategy has a severe drawback. If the customers failed to interpret the new product features, then it would result in losing revenue.

Market development: Market development means to improve and retain market position for the products of a company. Autoglass is the current market leader in this windshield repairing industry. So they can brand Autoglass more extensively and try to grab new customers to increase its market share.

Diversification: Autoglass can create a portfolio of products that will divide up the risks and reduce the chance of revenue loss.

Autoglass also should emphasize on the geographic location where they should operate and specify the minimum requirements of the suppliers to get the quality products and the quantity required. Autoglass Company is in top of its operating industry. So they have the options to increase the growth rate in a steady manner by satisfying both existing as well as potential customers and increase its market share. Autoglass can set a five years growth strategy plan based on the Ansoff’s Growth Model to achieve their target.

Definition of Top-Down and Bottom-Up

Informal planning: Informal planning is the method where the manager or foremost of a group evolves a design without any accepted structure and rigid structures (Grant M.R. 2010). For certain instant positions managers use this approach where it is not absolutely vital to pattern any patternal structure of designing or the timeline for designing is not enough. It is important to double-check short term objectives of the organization.

Top Down: A top-down approach is essentially the breaking down of a system to gain insight into its compositional sub-systems (Wheelen& Hunger, T.L. &J.D., 2013). Autoglass is implementing this approach in their product R&D and they are pretty successful. This approach would help them to attain their goals.

Bottom-Up: A bottom-up approach is the piecing together of systems to give rise to more complex systems, thus making the original systems sub-systems of the emergent system (Wheelen& Hunger, T.L. & J.D., 2013). Autoglass is using this approach in their service development to satisfy the customers and they have been pretty successful by using this approach.

Behavioral Approach for Autoglass:

Autoglass ought to approach in the Top-Down process in order to take advantage of their assets and to grip the rivalry in the future. Autoglass is a rising company in the service business and the facility they are providing will not be adequate for them to clench on to the situation in the market. They need to arise with some developments for their merchandise and market so that they might an expanded market for the clients.

1.3 Three techniques for Autoglass

In order to grow in the industry, Autoglass can use three techniques, and they are:

1. BCG Growth Share Matrix

Autoglass can design their products in such a manner where they can differentiate their products and also maintain a harmony in the product portfolio (Kotler, P., 2000). It will also help Autoglass to determine the time and place of a new investment in new product development and when to extract all the earnings from that product.

High Growth and High Market Share (STARS)This strategy deals with high amount of cash and the management determine the overall cash flow in business.The star businesses are prior to become cash cows in the future and management can harvest from the business venture.

Low Growth but High Market Share (CASH COWS)When the products starts to lose its market share and growth rates decline then the product falls into dogs category. The organizations should divest from the business at this moment.Management should watch over any unnecessary expenses.

High Growth but Low Market Share (QUESTION MARKS)The newly introduced products are the member of this category and have the potential of growth maximization.The product has also the risk of being a trouble product if any revenue is not received from it.

Low Growth but High Market Share (CASH COWS)From the matrix, we can see the product which has low growth but high market share is the steady business and generates steady revenue

Page 9: Bs 46

2. Strategic Position & Action Evaluation Matrix (SPACE)

Autoglass can use the SPACE matrix to determine the demand and requirements of the customers to operate and make strategies to expand the market for their product (Armstrong, G., &Kotler, P., 2006). SPACE matrix has four different segments. Each quadrant explains the organizations position and the course of actions required (Kotler, P., 2000). As Autoglass is holding a strong position in the market, they can use the aggressive strategies to capture and spread their market. It will also help them in determining the SWOT of the organizations.

3. Profit Impact of Market Strategy (PIMS)

PIMS is a kind of database that gives solid information and evidence to support the policies that are undertaken to gain competitive advantages.

In instruction to increase the market section Autoglass Company wants new policies and new products which

can be cooperative for them to flourish the market. So in view of future policy they can mature a BCG

growth share matrix and arrange a product assortment from which they can decide their upcoming strategies

(Gudonaviciene, R. & Rutelione, A., 2009).

Autoglass should be following the vertical growth approach to raise their business. They can go with

Only opening new product streak and expanding the marketplace will not single-handedly help the Autoglass

Company to enlarge in the market. Autoglass should continually review the response of the clienteles so that

they might distinguish what the customers are watching for and to what level of gratification customers want.

Autoglass management prerequisites to describe the roles and accountabilities to the staffs so that they can

Task 4

Now a day’s one of the vital issues of doing business is “Strategy and Policy Execution”. If the decisions are

taken perfectly and wisely; and if those decisions are executed properly then the organization will must

flourish with a vast growth and big amount of profit. The top level management is not for doing only their

own job, rather they need to spread their eye throughout the whole organization and have a vision of every

the market. Effective advertisements in accordant areas ability advice a lot in this regard. The amount

competencies should be acutely focused to allure the customers.

information. Outdated or fabricated information can cause ruin to any objective. So apart from the internal

duties the management needs to keep eye on the outside world and concern about all the relevant news of the

market.

company management needs to have a clear idea about the place from where he will produce or import

necessary resources and how could he allocate those resources. Here management should identify the

common place where maximum portion of the production are being produced and what are the services

depends on that sector. For Autoclass, they give the most priority on human resources and they think that is

the key resource and using that resource they serve the customer better than their competitors. That’s why
