...Hyundai Consultant Report Decision Issue Our group conducted an analysis of Hyundai Motor Company to determine whether or not the company should continue to sell their luxury cars under the Hyundai brand, to sell them under a different brand name, or to discontinue certain car lines. After an examination of the US automotive industry and of the Hyundai Motor Company itself, our group focused on three different analysis tools to help answer the strategic decision issue: an RBV analysis, a Value Stick analysis, and Game Theory analysis. Ultimately, we conducted an exhaustive study of the pros and cons of the possible options Hyundai has and made our recommendation.

...Commercial Campaign Review Project Commercials are created to get a company’s product recognized for present or future use. They’re many different kinds of commercials, some are created to make you hungry, help with pain, offer healthier food for your dogs, and especially to make your kids beg you for toys they see on the television. Commercials are the most effective marketing technique as far as getting a product recognized and publicly known. I personally love funny commercials and the ones I have decided to talk about have made me laugh and have left an impression in my mind of their products. The first commercial I am reviewing looks like it takes place in 1950’s, it edgy, different and funny. Progressive Insurance commercials have had a few funny ad campaigns, and this one is no different. Taking place in a time when women were the ‘stay at home moms’ and the fathers were the breadwinners, this commercial takes it another step and criticizes a women who’s trying to take matters in her own hands by price checking other companies to try and save money. As she talks a Man keeps interrupting her as to why she isn’t cooking or taking care of the kids, while she tries to put him in his place, the commercial ends with the man asking where her husband was? I didn’t grow up in the 50’s, so I could see how an older generation could be affected by this Ad. However I was not, it’s a witty commercial that makes me think about how things use to be. Progressive is a huge corporate...

...Moreover, Hyundai Motors still low brand recognition as compared to other larger firms which causes the firm harder in grabbing a wide range of buyers. As the low brand recognition, price depreciation rate is very high in comparison to Toyota or Honda. Therefore, it limits new car buyers from buying Hyundai. II. Technological Advancement Investors that invest in Hyundai are favored toward increasing the market share and larger advertisement schemes, instead of creating drastic technological advancement. Hyundai is still a runner-up in the area where all the rivals begun to produce Hybrid vehicles. As a result, Hyundai could not compete in some areas of the market where technological advancement is critical. III. Small Pool of Previous Buyers Most consumers do research before purchasing an automobile. The feedbacks from previous buyers can be a decisive factor for many consumers. Nonetheless, Hyundai does not have a huge pool of previous buyers to provide feedback, thus many careful consumers hesitate to buy Hyundai. IV. Product recalls Over the past few years before 2012, Hyundai recalled more than 300,000 cars in over sea market to fix manufacturing and design defects. Product recalls negatively impact Hyundai’s reputation. Needless to say, recall is good policy, but frequent recall could arise loss of customers and it would become weakness. V. Bankruptcy of middle sized companies supplying components There were some articles about Hyundai Motor’s primary...

Replacing the Atos/Atos Prime/Amica/Santro (except in India, where the lower-priced Santro Xing is still being sold below it), it is marketed below the Getz and i20 (which replaces the Getz in most countries).

...Hyundai Motor Company Question 1 Hyundai is a Korean Motor company which is a part of Hyundai Group. It has been established 29th December 1967. It has achieved a high success domestically and internally. In this question we will highlight the difficulties faced Hyundai including its competitors, how they overcome these problems domestically and internally and the strategies adapted to compete effectively . HMC has faced some of the difficulties & problems that affect its market position & brand image. Their problems is going around three main problems which are "Sales, rate & quality". HMC rates was so cheap which made the product is undervalued by the customers. In fact, the cheap price of their cars reflect its quality as some customers are needed for expensive cars. Therefore, Hyundai goal in US only to maintain its share not to gain more profits & sales in one had. On the other hand, segmenting low level –moderate level people and focus on cost saving cars rather than high quality oriented cars affected it's brand image & identity. Moreover, Hyundai is caring only to save money by having cheap labor which also affect its quality of working and having lots of workers strikes. In addition, we can't forget that inherited Chairmanships that gave the priority to the family to run the business rather than the qualified professional from management. These family chairmens' never listen to the experts inside organization and never take their advice. As well as they had a problem...

...1/25/2013 The Hyundai Hybrid Hype The advertisers for the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid have tucked the slogan and theme for their ad on the line following the company name, and the make and model of the automobile, they are showcasing. In very small fine print, almost subliminally, it whispers to the reader from the corner of the page, “New thinking for new possibilities.” The ad graphically depicts a pastoral landscape of beautiful trees softly backlit by the golden glow of sunshine. In the middle of the page, an image of a man dressed in a suit and tie with a jet pack on his back flies through the sky on his way to work or an important meeting. An androgynous figure of what could be his spouse waves good bye to him from the balcony of a very large, architecturally modern, 3 story glass and steal beamed home. In the foreground of the ad is the star of the show; an icy blue Hyundai Sonata Hybrid. The Sonata Hybrid sits on a drive way bed of tiny peat gravel with a border of stone. Coupled with the statement, “New thinking for new possibilities,” and the image that accompanies it, there leaves little room for doubt that the ad for the Sonata Hybrid by Hyundai was designed specifically to appeal to the reader’s pathos and ethos, while the use of logos in this ad is questionable. Hyundai is relying on our pathos, or sympathies, for the well-being of the planet in this Earth conscious, eco-friendly, age of the 21st century. The overall intent of this pictorial image is to...

...Ryan Mickiewicz Final Paper BUS 301-01 December 2, 2013 1. Open systems can be used to define living organisms, markets, economies and organizations. In this class we have used the open systems model to describe organizations. An open system operates by transforming inputs into outputs by constantly interacting with its external environment through feedback. Inputs in open systems include data (information and knowledge), labor, raw materials, capital and technology. Data includes raw facts and summaries, information from research that was previously conducted and expert knowledge. Labor is defined by employees who carry out any processes within the organization, from a custodian to a manager. Raw materials are the products or pieces from which a company makes its products. If we were talking about Frank’s Pizza Shop, the raw materials would be the dough, pepperoni, sausage, chicken and any other toppings used on the pizzas. Data at Frank’s Pizza would include blueprints and business strategies from other successful pizza shops, personal knowledge from owners of both successful and unsuccessful businesses in the area and any other knowledge business owners in the area are willing to give. Technology includes machines, IT hardware and software. At Frank’s Pizza, the technology would include the ovens, refrigerators, freezers, registers, phones and any other technology management choose. Finally, most companies need capital, or money to start operations. All of these inputs...

...The Acquisition and Restructuring of Kia Motors by Hyundai Motors 1. Since the mid-1990s, the global automobile industry was characterized by oversupply and a production capacity well in excess of demand. There were, and still are, many competitors in the industry. Advances in technology have allowed for rapid growth within the industry. Research and development costs increased due to consumer environmental and safety concerns. With this social consciousness, automobile producers were forced to develop new types of automobiles to meet demand. This allowed bargaining power in the buyer’s hands. This caused automobile companies to increase their production efficiency, restructure, and enter strategic alliances (mergers and acquisitions) to realize the economies of scale and scope. The Korean automobile industry was characterized by weak domestic demand, which resulted in continuous oversupply. The market was also completely dependent on Japanese technology to produce automobiles. Korean automobiles were cheap but subpar in quality. Many manufacturers did not run their facilities to full capacity, increasing unit costs. Through the acquisition of Kia, Hyundai hoped to influence the economies of scale, influence the economies of scope, and develop a superior global network. The merger with Kia could potentially improve competitiveness by allowing the use of common parts, integrated quality control and shared functional improvements, as well as reduce costs through the purchase...

...Hyundai Motors Globalization strategy 1967-2013 06/06/2013 Research project: Hyundai globalisation strategy Executive summary The following report maps out Hyundai Motor Corporation’s (HMC) internationalisation strategy from its creation in 1967 to the current period. This strategy can be chronologically divided into four phases according to HMC’s objectives and rationale for expansion at different stages of its existence. From the research carried out, it appears that HMC’s choices of specific internationalisation patterns at different stages essentially stemmed from: The dynamics of the relationship between HMC, the Hyundai business group and the South Korean economic and political environment; Political, social and nationalistic incentives deriving from the specificities of Chaebol management and later the influence of the Asian crisis on this management and decision taking processes; Korea’s initial factor dotation, i.e. the prevalence of certain factors over others which pushed the company to seek knowledge and resources abroad at a very early stage; The replication of Japanese strategies (Nissan, Mitsubishi, Toyota). - Due to the complexity of HMC’s environment, strategy over time cannot be illustrated using a single internationalisation framework. The report therefore discusses two different frameworks – namely Porter’s diamond and Dunning’s eclectic paradigm – to analyse the company’s strategy at different stages of its international development. 2 ...
