Following are the barriers to entry and also the crucial factors that new entrant not to be overlooked. The large economies of scale is the major barrier to entry for entrant. With the incumbents controlling the productions, quantity of cars that produced are overwhelmed; in results, low production costs. However, new entrant will be required to produce similar amount of cars to reduce the production costs. It might be difficult for the new entrant as the demand might be not as positive than incumbents. Following by the absolute cost advantage, in comparison to incumbents, new entrant could be losing at the beginning stage because the inexperienced factor could be lead to higher production costs. For new entrant that performs exceptionally brilliant, they would need to face expected retaliation as the incumbents will not be intimidated and will be follow up with forms of full force revenge to protect their positions in the automotive industry. Price war would occurs whereby the incumbents that have lower unit costs per car, able to slash the price to the minimum margin. Reality hits new entrant when they need to possess the higher capital requirements in order to compete or in the attempt of matching up with the incumbents.

Market penetration is when a company grows its sales without changing its product. The company may spend more in advertising or promotion. Market development is when a company enters new market with same product. For example, expanding geographically, demographically or introduce new use of the product.

...diversification the best strategy to achieve profitable growth? (40 marks) Diversification, one of the four strategies in the Ansoff’s Matrix, is a corporate strategy to enter a new market or industry which the business is not currently in, whilst also creating a new product for that new market. Profitable growth is a term often used by CEOs when describing the firm’s strategic objective. Business growth can be achieved either by boosting the revenue of the business with greater product sales or service income, or by increasing the profitability of the operation by minimising costs. Diversification plays a great role in the growth of many large businesses, however, the extent of the growth is largely dependent on factors such as: the type of industry that the business is in or the risks involved into entering new markets. There are many ways in which to diversify a business, all which may be included in the strategy to achieve profitable growth. The most straightforward of these is to provide a natural extension of the goods or services that you already offer to customers. The best example of business that has undergone diversification is Samsung. Samsung is best known for its smartphones, tablets and televisions, however Samsung’s business activities and operations are spread wider than just those two important markets. The electronics giant also makes military hardware, apartments, ships and operates a Korean amusement park. The business currently had around 350,000 employees and in...

...into the bike market using Ansoff’s matrix (12 marks) The Ansoff Matrix is a marketing plan that helps a business to decide market and product growth strategy; it looks at the degree of risk and potential for reward from the different strategic options. Using the Ansoff Matrix, the proposal to sell bikes in the existing shops is an example of Product Development, A benefit of this would be that it would help them reach there corporative objective which is Growth, in order to do this they are planning to start by converting 50 BnQs stores in the midlands, this will mean they can test out the bike with their existing market, as about 20% of bikes are brought from online and 38% are brought from their biggest competitors Halfords as shown in Appendix A, and only about 28% of that market are willing to definitely go back and buy it from the same outlet which mean there is about 72% of 16-35 year olds who are willing to shop from someone else. Using the Ansoff Matrix, the proposal to sell bikes in a new chain of high streets is an example of Diversification, A benefit of this would be that they will be able to spread the risk so if demand falls in one market the business will not suffer too much because it can still archive profits in its other market with its other products, this will mean they can spend £60millon on this project as the other market is slowly decreasing, but the main problem in this is Halfords plc who has 33% of the share in Britain’s Bike market tried to do the...

...one of the segments of the Ansoff matrix; it is a type of strategic direction whereby a company decides to take a new product into a new market. There are two types of diversification; related and unrelated. Related diversification is the process of developing further than their original products and markets whilst keeping within the organisation’s strengths. Unrelated diversification however, allows the organisation to step out of its capabilities comfort zone to develop new products for a completely new market. When a company decides to diversify its portfolios in a related field, it will either embark on a vertical or horizontal integration. Quite often an organisation will decide to take over a stage within the value network that is adjacent to their own. They thereby take over the responsibilities that input into the business. This is called backward integration. Others decide to take control of the next stage of their supply chain; this is referred to as forward integration. Furthermore, other organisations may decide to either develop activities that are complimentary to their existing products, or buy out competitors. Which is known as horizontal integration. This often creates economies of both scale and scope. Since a related diversification allows a corporation to use its competencies in developing a new product in a new market, it will be able to share many of it’s common resources, creating the advantage of economies of scope. These resources not only include...

...Using ANSOFF’s Matrics business model the four possible strategies which organisations may adopt are- 1- Market penetration occurs when the company or organisation tries to sell more of its current or existing products to its existing markets through greater promotional efforts or vigorously advertisings. In the end the organisation will be benefiting from a increase in annual turnover and sales. This is the cheapest strategies of all Ansoff’s business strategic models. It also encourages companies to stay on existing market. There were a lot of competitors in this market but this strategy help JD Weatherspoon to reduce competition from rivalry. 2- Market development this happens when the company or organisation tries to sell its existing products in the new market or segment, for example if a Scottish organisation tries to enter into regional or global market to sell their existing products. This also helps the organisation to increase its base by attracting new Customers and increase its market share and portfolio. Favourable economic conditions and social culture changes force JD to adopt this strategy. 3- Product development this type of strategy occurs when the organisation starts to offer new products to the existing customer, so by bringing new products to the market, the organisation will be also attracting new customers. This also helps to keep its customers attracted to the organisation and its products e.g. Xbox 360 which has introduced Xbox 360...

I also would like to add to your view on Diversification, apart from Mr. Kelly previous experience was with several multinational companies than sold a range of products; another good point to consider is why the company enters new markets with new products?When this happens there must be a certain level of confidence (capital, resources, customer needs analysis etc.) and proper risk assessments with viable solutions in place in order to successfully penetrate new markets.

...price to hospitals for the heater/blower unit and the plastic blanket. The price set for the Bair Hugger Patient Warming System would influence the rate at which prospective buyers would purchase the system since the market was price-sensitive to alternative methods. Also, price and volume together would influence the cash flow position of the company. Before the company prices this system, several considerations are required in terms of organizational objectives, demand for the product, customer value perception and buyer price sensitivity, the price of competitive offering, and direct variable costs. The estimate of total potential market for heater/blower unit is 2737 units and 2737000 units for blankets. The direct cost of the heater/blower unit would be $380 and $0.85 per blanket. The initial investment, $500,000, for this system would cover the fixed cost of the company during first year of operation. Based on this information and other considerations, I will discuss the company’s pricing strategy for both products. Company Background Dr. Scott Augustine, an anesthesiologist , founded Augustine Medical, Inc. in Minnesota in July 1987. In early 1988, Augustine developed the Bair Hugger Patient Warming System to warm post- surgical patients. The targeted market for this system is the hospital operating rooms and postoperative recovery rooms.
