WHAT WERE SOME OF THE KEY STEPS THAT LED TO CATERPILLAR'SBECOMING THE INDUSTRY LEADER IN EARTH-MOVING MACHINERY?
CAT has unmatched quality and consistency; their product reliability and reputation was the
key factor in their success.
Caterpillar also invested a great amount of money on market research. They have and
continue to innovate to meet the needs of their consumers
They also targeted and developed equipment for different industries such as agriculture and
Infrastructure.
They invested in a factory modernizing program that improved product availability for
consumers. This made the company more efficient and competitive.
CAT boldly fought the United Auto Workers and outlasted two strikes and seven years of
disagreement during recession period when the company was bankrupted.
Caterpillar also has an immense product range to serve each market and specific region's
needs. Another factor is CAT's business model which provides it all machines, services, and
support for a wide range of industries
QUESTIONS?
DISCUSS CATERPILLAR'S FUTURE.WHAT SHOULD IT DO NEXT WITHITS PRODUCT LINE?WHERE IS THE FUTURE GROWTH FOR THISCOMPANY?
As the CAT Company moves forward, it remains focused on reducing greenhouse gas
emissions in its machinery,innovating more green technologies,maintaining its strong brand .
CAT has a plan to expand in emerging countries like India and China.
CAT recognizes that these counties are growing rapidly and has a plan to invest in research
to find out how to meet the needs of these countries.
In my opinion the most costly thing that goes into equipment is fuel. they spend a great
amount on diesel. The future of the market is pointing towards fuel efficiency.
for the future growth of this company it must be successful in emerging markets and
continued innovation and outstanding quality.
