Bmw's Strengths And Limitations

In fact, Dunning and Rugman did an additional extension to Porter’s Diamond framework. However, they do not have enough supporting document to prove that Diamond framework should not be use in the nations. Although Porter’s framework is widely used as a guideline for the nations, but it is not reliable for long-term usage as it does not sustain long-term competitiveness for the national business system. According to research, Porter’s diamond framework can only be used in mature and manufacturing economy as for those economy that are yet to mature they are not recommended to use diamond framework.

When an individual's personal goals are at stake and are not aligned with the organization goals there can be situation of conflict between individual and organization and the individual may had to fight for his personal goals, creating a conflict situation that will hamper success of the project (Janie Sullivan). Another conflict that according to my experience can happen in the organization is of not having Enough Resources. Resource scarcity, time and material can cause teams to undercut, leading to conflict between departments or other work groups.

Having a global strategy does not mean that a company should serve the entire globe. Critical choices include deciding where to spend resources and where to hang back. The usual approach is to start by picking regions and then countries within them. Market data might be more readily available in situations where the firm is grouping markets according to existing structures and frameworks. If a global company such as Apple sells their product for a high price in a low-income country, they are most likely going to expect little to no sales at all due to the country’s usual price ranges for that specific product/service.

Customers do not want to switch to purchase different brands, as such they hold some bargaining power to drive the demand. In the luxury industry, it is possible that existing companies or new designers could enter internationally. However, the brand positioning serve as a serious barrier to create awareness due to customer loyalty and acceptability of the brand. In this case, threat of new entrants is relatively low. Luxury products are not easily substitute as it is not an ordinary goods but the threat can derive from imitation.

An example of demographic segmentation is being used in the automobile market. This is done on the basis of income from a household. Suzuki has a low-price bracket for their cars whereas BMW have a high price bracket so it targets high end buyers who are willing to spend more money. BMW have segmented a market by differentiating their products. Comparing it to Suzuki, BMW allow customers to design their car such as the seat material, colour, wheels and engine.

Behavioural segmentation Lastly, another segmentation is Behavioural. Behavioural segmentation divides buyers into groups based on their information, manner or loyalty. For example, people who have a successful career and wants a modern car and for the most of the individual that purchase a BMW for its distinctive reasons such as quality and value for
