Executive Summary:

From the onset of the journey, Autoglass sincerely focuses on the needs and demands of the customers and emphasizes on the mode of providing services in an efficient and effective way. Autoglass is renowned as one of the best in providing service in their field of operation. They are way ahead of other companies in the service industry comparing to the banks and other service providers. In the windshield servicing industry Autoglass has become a brand name not only for satisfying the customers but also for providing the best windshield replacement or repairing service. During a survey it was estimated that nearly 92% of the Autoglass customers were satisfied at their service. Autoglass maintains a harmonious, yet professional relationship between the customers and employees because they believe that if employees are satisfied working with Autoglass then they will serve the customers more efficiently and with more care. Autoglass is currently the market leader in their sphere of the industry and they are growing in a steady pace. They are now operating with almost 500 branches serving in the Europe. Based on the given scenario we can imagine that Autoglass is in a strong position in the windscreen replacement industry and expected to be able to face future challenges in an efficient and effective manner. This will no doubt turn in the revenue.

Task 1

1.1 Explain the role of strategy, mission, visions, objective, goals and core competencies of Autoglass

Autoglass Company Mission:

Missions of an organization are formed based on the present situation and action guidelines. The employees are to perform according these to attain the objectives of the organization (Kotler, P., 2000). Autoglass Company m according inly focuses on the customer’s satisfaction and providing the best windscreen services to the customers (Autoglass Company). By fulfilling the missions, an organization takes shape and the objective becomes clearer.

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.

Autoglass Company Core Competency:

Core competency defines 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).

Strategic Intent:

The concept of strategic intent implies that there is a general view on where the company should be going rather than a definite statement of an expected outcome and this means that there should be plenty of flexibility within the statement to allow for staff initiative, team contribution and adaptation in light of changed circumstances (Ivanauskiene, N, & Auruskeviciene, V., 2009). The strategic intent of Autoglass is to see itself as the market leader always. They are doing all the activities to remain leader.

Role of Strategy of Autoglass

4 | P a g e

Page 6: Bs 28fdghs

The primary task in strategic administration is normally the compilation and dissemination of the vision and the operation declaration. This outlines, in essence, the raison d'etre of an organization (Ivanauskiene, N, & Auruskeviciene, V., 2009). Autoglass has compiled their roles in strategy making in a way that the strategies maintain a specific time period in the execution (Autoglass Company).

Objective and goals of Autoglass

The main objective of Autoglass is to satisfy their customer by repairing or replacing broken windscreen of any vehicle. The goal of Autoglass is to make their business grow and serve the global customer (Autoglass Company). They are expanding their business by winning the hearts of the customers.

Strategic Architecture of Autoglass

The strategic architecture of any organization is the process of answering the five fundamental questions of making the strategy. The questions are compilation of “What”, “What Else”, “What More”, “What Now”, “How” (Grant M. R., 2010). By answering these questions Autoglass shapes their strategic structures of the company.

1.2 Review the vital issues involved in Strategic planning in Autoglass

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 situation in the case we can analysis the competitive advantages 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:

5 | P a g e

Page 7: Bs 28fdghs

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 market strategy hereby an organization seeks to gain greater dominance in a market in which it already has an offering (Melody, Y. & Kevin, H., 2000). This strategy often focuses on capturing a larger share of an existing market. In this segment Autoglass can increase 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.

6 | P a g e

Page 8: Bs 28fdghs

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 process where the manager or leader of a team develops a plan without any conventional structure and rigid frameworks (Grant M.R. 2010). For certain instant situations managers use this approach where it is not essential to form any formal structure of planning or the timeline for planning is not enough. It is important to ensure 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 should approach in the Top-Down method in order to capitalize their resources and to handle the competition in the future. Autoglass is a growing company in the service industry and the service they are providing will not be sufficient for them to hold on to the position in the market. They need to come up with several developments for their product and market so that they might a diversified market for the customers.

1.3 Explain minimum three planning technique for Autoglass

The techniques that any organization needs to follow in the competitive industry. There are three basic techniques that an organization can follow. Autoglass should follow one of the strategies to flourish in the market and capture more customers.

1. BCG Growth Share Matrix

Autoglass can divide their products in such a manner where they can prioritize their

products and manage a synergy in the portfolio (Ivanauskiene, N, & Auruskeviciene,

V., 2009). This matrix shows the organization 4 types of consequences that will be

faced by an organization (Gudonaviciene, R, &Rutelione, A., 2009). It also helps the

organization to know when to invest in the existing product, when to divest all

earnings from the market segment and when to focus on a new business venture.

Placing goods in the BCG growth share matrix Autoglass will face 4 types of consequences

in the market. And they are:

i. Stars: High Growth and High Market Share

It requires a great quantity of cash for which managers need to take decisions

from which the cash will be generated and used.

If managers can make the business profitable and maintain a steady market

share then it will result in the cash cow and the Company can harvest cash

from the business.

ii. Cash Cows: Low Growth but High Market Share

The product will attain low growth in the market but it will have the highest

market share from which the organization will turn in revenues and maintain

income.

iii. Dogs: Low Growth and Low Market Share

The time when the product gradually stops to generate any kind of revenue,

the organization should gradually divest from the project to start another.

The organization should also be careful of incurring any unnecessary costs.

8 | P a g e

Page 10: Bs 28fdghs

iv. Question Marks: High Growth but Low Market Share

It indicates to the products that are newly introduced in the market and will

gradually earn mass acceptance.

It also has the risk of making a Dog product. If the market share is not

increased gradually then it would incur loss for the organization.

2. Strategic Position & Action Evaluation Matrix (SPACE)

Autoglass can also use the SPACE planning technique to understand the market

requirements and operate in order to expand the operation. This matrix has four

quadrants indicating the positions of the business organization and how to react

accordingly (Ivanauskiene, N, & Auruskeviciene, V., 2009). In consideration to

Autoglass’s position in the market they can use aggressive strategy. It can also be

used as the base for SWOT analysis.

3. Profit Impact of Market Strategy (PIMS)

It is a type of database which provides concrete evidence to support policies and

principles for gaining and sustaining competitive advantage (Melody, Y. & Kevin, H.,

2000). Autoglass might maintain a customer service database in order to analyze their

principles and planning process so they can keep track of their success and

implementation of the strategies.

2.2 Carry out an environmental audit for Autoglass using at least two approaches

PESTLE analysis is conducted to determine the operational strategy of an organization. It also helps to learn the attractiveness of operation of that company (Armstrong, G., &Kotler, P., 2006). In order to operate in an industry, an organization needs to be accounted for a several factors (Automotive Industry, 2013). Organizations can maximize opportunities and minimize threats by conducting PESTLE analysis.

Page 13: Bs 28fdghs

Porter’s five forces analysis helps the management to determine and understand the overall context of the industry (Kotler, P., 2000).

Porter’s five forces are:

12 | P a g e

1. The threat of new entrants

Economies of Scale: This is generally a low threat and it measures the scale of economy in the production. Government Policy: Government policy can limit the entry and exit barrier in an industry.

2. The bargaining power of customers

Threat of Backward Integration: Organizations face the risk of backward integration with the suppliers.

3. The threat of substitute products

Prices: Prices play an important role in any industry. Buyers may shift from one product to another just because of price sensitivity.Access: Buyers access in the industry is now a day’s much easier than before.

4. The amount of bargaining power suppliers have

Threat of forward Integration: Organizations face the risk of forward integration with the suppliers. With the help suppliers, buyers can make the same products that are offered by another company.

5. The intensity of the competitive rivalry

Number of Competitors: Competitor’s number plays an important role in pricing strategy.Diversity of Rivals: The rivals challenge and cross each other’s path in making and implementing strategies.

Page 14: Bs 28fdghs

2.3 Explain the significance of stakeholders’ analysis in relation to Autoglass

The stakeholders’ grid:

1. Promoters: It refers to the stakeholders who influence the strategies and also has high

interest.

2. Latent’s: It refers to the stakeholders who influence strategies but has low interest.

3. Apathetic: It refers to the Stakeholders who has low interest and seldom influences the

strategies.

4. Defenders: It refers to the stakeholders who have low influence in the strategy making but

high interest.

The stakeholders are kept in four classifications so that each stakeholder has their specific

rights and duties in regard of the making the strategies for the organization which will be

implemented for the betterment of the organization. Autoglass has mapped the stakeholders

in the organization so that the stakeholders can perform their duty in regard of the

organization’s benefit.

Page 15: Bs 28fdghs

Task 3

3.1 Analyze possible alternatives strategies relating to substantive

growth, limited growth and retrenchment

Market Entry Strategy

Organic Growth: When a business organization achieves growth over its own business

which is as same as the beginning of the organization, it is called organic growth. It excludes

any growth that is gained by getting into any other business or merger or acquisition.

Merger: Merger is the process by which two companies gets united and turns into one entity

through legal consolidation. The beginning of Autoglass was through such merger.

Acquisition: This is the process where one particular company purchases another entire

company and establishes itself as the owner. In this process 100% or near 100% ownership

has to be bought.

Strategic Alliance: This is the process where two or more companies agree upon a number

of common objectives and share each other’s resources to meet those objectives. This

approach is actually an idea that stays between the concept of organic growth and merger or

acquisition.

Licensing: It is the process through which a mother company (licensor) allows another

company (licensee) to use its trademark and sell the products or services on the basis of

agreements on several terms. The terms include the licensing fee that has to be paid to the

licensor.

Franchising: It is the process, through which a company earns the right to use another

company’s trademark, business model, operations where the franchisor gives the right to the

franchisee. For acquiring market share abroad, Autoglass might use this approach by

assigning franchises in different locations.

14 | P a g e

Page 16: Bs 28fdghs

Substantive Growth

Horizontal Integration: In horizontal integration a company forms or acquires production

facility of related or complementary products (Melody, Y. & Kevin, H., 2000). Sometimes it

may also happen that a company purchases one of its competitors and form integration.

Autoglass might form such integration by linking with other production that are related to its

existing products.

Vertical Integration: In vertical integration a company links with the companies or partners

of the supply chain and in many cases all the partners of the chain stay under a single owner

(Melody, Y. & Kevin, H., 2000). Autoglass might engage into vertical integration by linking

with the suppliers and distributors.

Related Diversification: When a company expands its business with some diversification in

the existing product line (Arazy, O, &Gellatly, I., 2012). The new productions are similar to

the existing products.

Unrelated Diversification: It is the process when a company engages into diversification by

introducing new products and services that doesn’t match with the existing product line

(Arazy, O, &Gellatly, I., 2012). It can be unrelated diversification if Autoglass starts selling

home window glasses or beauty mirrors

Limited Growth

Market Penetration: It means penetrating the competitive market by offering competitive

price against the price of the competitors. This approach is used to instantly attack the

competitors by gaining their customers. It is often used to gain sales growth.

Market Development: It means targeting new customer segments and attracting the non-

buying customers of that segment. It helps to increase the market share by adding new

portion of customers. It is possible for Autoglass to develop the market by geographically

expanding the business and reaching the customers.

Product Development: It means developing new products that do not exist currently and

thus attracting customers to buy more varieties of products or services.

15 | P a g e

Page 17: Bs 28fdghs

Innovation: It means searching out an entirely new need of the customers in the market and

innovating a new product or service to meet that need. Autoglass might try to sort out such

need in the market and introduce an innovated product or service.

Disinvestment:

Retrenchment: A strategy used by corporations to reduce the diversity or the overall size of

the operations of the company. This strategy is often used in order to cut expenses with the

goal of becoming a more financial stable business.

Turn around: Turnaround management is a process dedicated to corporate renewal. It uses

analysis and planning to save troubled companies and returns them to solvency. Turnaround

management involves management review, activity based costing, root failure causes

analysis, and SWOT analysis to determine why the company is failing. In order to make a

comeback in the industry organizations need to find out the root of the problems and based on

those problems they need to make up new strategies and policies to overcome those

problems.

Liquidation: When a business or firm is terminated or bankrupt, its assets are sold and the

proceeds pay creditors. Any leftovers are distributed to shareholders. Liquidating a firm is the

last stage of the firm’s survival. If no alternative strategies comply with the organizations

then it needs to sell its assets and then pay up the shareholders and stakeholders.

Divestment: The process of selling an asset. Also known as divestiture, it is made for either

financial or social goals. Divestment is the opposite of investment. It is the process of pulling

out the assets in operation and sells those to meet the gap in the financial problems and in

order to liquidate the organization divestment is necessary for any organization.

Porter’s Generic Strategy

Overall Cost Leadership

Differentiation

Focal Point

3.2 Select an appropriate future strategy for Autoglass

Autoglass can go with alliance with automakers to capture the new market segment. They

should be following the vertical growth strategy to grow their business. Autoglass is in a

strong position and they might be able to go with the alliance with new organizations.

Because this strategy is appropriate for the organizations growth and their core capabilities

match with the strategy. Alliance with related organizations will enable Autoglass to put

more focus on the customer’s preference and can develop new product category to fulfill the

needs of the customers.

In order to expand the market segment Autoglass Company needs new strategies and new

products which can be helpful for them to thrive the market. So considering future strategy

they can analyze their market need and come up with some development of the new product

to diversify their services and capture a new market segment.

17 | P a g e

Overall Cost Leadership

Based on the case it can be inferred that Autoglass is following the cost leadership in the industry and they are offering their services in the lowest cost possible (Armstrong, G., &Kotler, P. 2006). It is helpful to attract more customers and enter in the new market.

Differentiation

Cost leadership alone cannot help an organization to enjoy profit from the market. Differentiation is necessary to bring in more profits and grabbing more customers (Armstrong, G., &Kotler, P. 2006). The Autoglass is offering 24/7 customer services to differentiate them from the others.

Focal Point

To improve business in the industry organizations needs to focus on a specific objective (Armstrong, G., &Kotler, P., 2006). Autoglass is focusing on serving the customers and satisfy them for their money worth. Autoglass has become the best windshield repairing or replacing service providers.

Page 19: Bs 28fdghs

Only starting new product line and expanding the market will not alone help the Autoglass

Company to expand in the market. Autoglass should constantly review the feedback of the

customers so that they might know what the customers are looking for and to what level of

satisfaction customers want. Autoglass management needs to define the roles and

responsibilities to the employees so that they can provide the highest level of satisfaction to

the customers.

But with expansion of the business the satisfaction rate might fluctuate and Autoglass need to

build a timescale for the new goals and extension of the new services. Considering the

position in the industry, Autoglass can provide a 5 quarters plan that will be sufficient for

Autoglass to cope up with the competition and maintain alliance with the automakers to

expand the business. Autoglass can benchmark next 5 quarters to comply with strategies they

have taken and fulfill the commitment to the customers.

Task 4

4.1: Compare the roles and responsibilities for strategy implementation of Autoglass

Strategy and policy execution is one of the most vital issues related to doing business. The

growth and profit of the organization solely lies on how wisely the decisions are being taken

and how effectively the taken strategies are being executed. The top-heads of the organization

has to be responsible enough to not just consider the work as a job but to look beyond to

develop the organization and knock every single possibility to grow further and analyze every

single threat to secure the organization. They have to look over a new idea or strategy and

check the feasibility of it according to the market situations. For any company like Autoglass,

understanding the market as better as possible and evaluating the ongoing and proposed

18 | P a g e

Page 20: Bs 28fdghs

strategies are one huge responsibility of the management where they have to play a real

significant role. .

The organization figure-head like CEO or President or Managing Director has to play a very

much complex yet significant role. He has to be able to analyze situations before he gives

green signal to any decision suggested by the board. On the other hand the senior managers

have to be willing enough to keep a harmony in the workforce and the output of the

employees that is important for ensuring the success of the initiated decisions.

Moreover, to design a realistic strategy, the strategy makers have to have access to reliable

and updated information and statistics. Because, outdated or fabricated numbers can easily

ruin any objective. So, besides working inside the organization, the management has to keep

an eye on what’s happening outside and make sure that all the relevant news to their concern

gets into their acknowledgement.

4.2 Evaluate resource requirements to implement a new strategy for

Autoglass

An important key to success in business is to allocate resources that are necessary for

production and the supportive activities. A company management has to have the clear idea

about the place from where the resources and materials will be allocated, the cost for

allocation and the time needed to allocate. Moreover, it has to prioritize the key resource on

which the maximum portion of production and service depends. For Autoglass, they have

prioritized human resources as the key resource as they are willing to keep their customer

service better than any other else. Therefore, they developed 159 customer advisors who

would serve the customers anytime they need. The fleet service is another addition to their

effort to develop customer satisfaction. In the process, Autoglass is sanctioning considerable

amount of budgets to increase their service quality and moreover to train their employees. It

has already resulted into 92% customer satisfaction.

19 | P a g e

Page 21: Bs 28fdghs

However, to ensure that the customers get the best product with the highest safety and

durability, Autoglass put much concentration in allocating the best quality raw materials for

their glasses. As per the given case description, Autoglass has been successful to maintain the

quality and efficient allocation of their required materials and services in both production and

service.

4.3 Discuss targets and timescales for achievement for Autoglass to monitor

a given strategy

Evaluation of the benchmark outcomes:

Quarter

1

The company has to bring up with new strategies and they also need to find

out the feasibility of their selected strategies; whether the selected strategies

reflect as expected outcome or not. They can collect their customer’s

feedback to find out the information about what else they are still looking for

the windscreen repairing and replacing service by the company.

Quarter

2

Autoglass should review their customer’s feedback in order to implement the

desired planning’s to expand their business in a large market. For this reason the

line managers are solely responsible for the collection process of the feedbacks of

the customers and acting accordingly.

Quarter

3

This is known as the quarter of gathering the information and taking research note

on the area of the implemented strategies. Management should find up the lacking

between the expected outcomes comparing with the actual outcome. This lacking

may occur because of the lacking of the coordination or incompetency of the

employees as well as line managers.

Quarter

4

Management need to organize new training program in order to fill up the gap.

With that the employees would be able to achieve the confidence to attain the

organizational goal effectively.

Quarter

5 In course of this quarter the organization might achieve the desired results based

on the strategy making and the implementation method. If management panel

fails to acquire the objectives using the selected strategies, then they could initiate

20 | P a g e

Page 22: Bs 28fdghs

new actions and decisions based on the information determined form training the

employees and providing support.

Conclusion:

Who have got their windshield broken; they can be out of worried because there is a company

named Autoglass who are making some high quality glass. For years the company earned a

huge trust form their customer by providing quality product. They are providing best glasses

with best services. They improved their services as high as it pressed away the other

competitors far behind. Autoglass initiated the required and effective strategies to keep ahead

in the race. Surely they are going more far ahead in the coming future.
