lacks solidified connections with firms in emerging markets. For instance, after entering the Chinese market, the firm has not been successful in gaining market share, but instead started losing market share due to many local companies grabbing sales, such as Sany Heavy - the principal rival of CAT in China, hence only contributing 3% to CAT’s worldwide sales. Due to CAT’s objectives, they could be less competitive with prices, as locally produced goods — those by Sany Heavy or Siwei for instance — are less costly and hence cheaper for customers, whilst CAT persist on delivering premium products.
