Ford Drive ONE!

Porter’s Five Forces

Used for industry analysis and business strategy.

Developed by Michael Porter of the Harvard Business School in 1979.

Used to develop a competitive edge over rival competitors.

Porter’s Five Forces

Threat of New Entry

Power of Suppliers

Power of Buyers

Threat of Substitute

Intensity of Rivalry

Threat of New Entry

Low Manufacturers must be able to mass

produce automobiles so they can be affordable for every consumer

Extreme amount of capital is needed in order to manufacture automobiles keep up on research and development

Difficult entering into established industry

Power of Suppliers

Relatively Low It takes several suppliers to manufacture

an automobile because there are so many different parts used.

When there are a large number of suppliers in an industry, they do not have much power.

Power of Buyers

Fairly high All of the manufacturers will depend on

the consumers because they purchase most of the output

Most of the revenue comes from the buyer

If Ford cannot keep the consumer happy, they will lose them to another competitor

Threat of Substitute

High Other forms of transportation

Walking Riding a bike Public Transportation

Customer Loyalty Ample amount of other options in car

industry

Intensity of Rivalry

Very High Most competitors have the same general

focus so it makes the rivalry intense All competitors are trying to achieve

same common goal Price, quality, and durability are factors

that are taken into consideration to become superior to other competitors

STRATEGIC ANALYSIS

Key Strategic Issues

Strategic Issues of the Economy

Fuel Prices Better marketing strategies for

automobiles Finding ways to lower emissions The US government and automobile

companies have agreed on a long term fuel efficiency plan

Better quality and safety

Strategic Issues of the Industry Finding ways to attract customers in a

struggling industry Expanding into other markets that offer a

greater potential (ie. China and Europe) Finding a way to build more fuel efficient

vehicles (ie. Hybrid and Electric vehicles) Separating themselves from competitors

through the use of marketing and new innovations

Strategic issues for Industry Auto industry has faced shortages of engineers U.S. industry must add thousands of carmakers to

build fuel-efficient vehicles to meet more stringent federal regulations and growing consumer demand.

The nations auto sector has added a total of 32,000 employees 1,000 of which are engineers

Threat of industry wide bankruptcies Fuel efficiency standards are placed on 2012

models

Competitors - Toyota

In January 2010 Toyota announced it would temporarily stop building and selling eight models in the North American market

Toyota recalled more than 11 million vehicles globally because of floor mats and sticky accelerator pedals in late 2010

Toyota was issued three fines totaling $48.8 million because the Transportation Department said Toyota had not reacted appropriately to reports of problems

Competitors - GM

GM was forced into bankruptcy court in March 2009

In July of 2009 GM sold off its assets to a government owned company and the US government now owns 61% of the new company This creates an opportunity for Ford to

capitalize on a company that is not financially stable

Competitors - Honda

Recalls on 2,800 Odyssey mini-vans due to defect in front windows coming off the tracks

New Odyssey mini-vans re-called 33,000 models due to faulty windshield wipers

Third highest automaker involved in recalls in the U.S. last year – second highest in Japanese market

Struggles through the effects of the earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear meltdown

Competitors – Honda Cont. Increased pressure from U.S., South

Korea, and European competitors Honda lagged 12 points behind industry

average of J.D. Power APEAL (Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout)

Introduction of new line of cars will be delayed due to March 11, natural disaster

Ford Strategies in the Past

Ford used to have a very corporate orientated strategy, but now focus on specialized product production and meeting specific needs of the consumer

Ford used to imply a mobility strategy that worked to determine the long term profitability of the company but has altered that strategy since the recession

Ford Strategies Now

Ford is making more hybrid vehicles through the increase use of renewable and recyclable materials

Ford is developing natural-fiber composites as a potential substitute for the glass fibers traditionally used in plastic car parts to make them stronger while reducing vehicle weight

Ford has developed a very strong sustainability strategy

Ford Strategies Now Cont.

Ford is beginning to use Solar energy to power their manufacturing plants

Global Electrification strategy Ford has a strategy on new key design Ford has a very strong marketing

strategy as they market all of their vehicles differently

Identification of Strategic Alternatives

Overarching Strategy

Expand Globally, while mass producing hybrid technology (Aggressive)

Continue to compete in automotive market, while focusing on core profitable products (Passive)

Expand Globally

Develop a plan: Expand into different market segments

China Europe

Stronger Marketing campaign Brand Awareness in foreign markets

Focusing On Core Products

Develop a plan: “Slim down to grow”

Getting rid of weakest brands and using that money to invest into new product development and marketing

Separate the company’s slow-selling secondary brands, and concentrate on shoring up its core business.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Strategic Intent (Goals)

Increase total sales in European Auto Industry.

Become industry leader in the Chinese market.

Pass General Motors and become the highest ranked company in the US automobile market

Expanding Globally Pros

Larger market potential, increase in sales

Better brand recognition Access to different economies of scale Extend product life cycle by reaching

larger markets Operational flexibility

Expanding Globally Cons

Foreign economies are all structured differently

Labor in foreign countries Lack of brand recognition Low customer loyalty Higher marketing costs

“Slim Down to Grow” Pros More room to focus on specific products Easier to market to certain economies Less costs associated with product

development Better chance of financial safety

“Slim Down to Grow” Cons Loss of highly-skilled and reliable workers and the

added expense of finding new workers An increase in overtime wages A decline in customer service because workers

feel they lack job security after layoffs Restructuring programs sometimes take years to

complete because of ensuing employee confusion and the amount of time it takes for employees to adjust to their new roles and responsibilities

Preferred Choice

Expand Globally, while mass producing hybrid technology (Aggressive)

Arguments for Preferred Choice

Car ownership in China has more than doubled in the last five years, from 12% of households in 2004 to 28% in 2009

Report show that it's possible for China's percentage to top 50% by around 2015.

Chinese have become less sure about their preferences, leaving a large group of undecided customers

European market has increased demand for fuel efficient compact cars

Projections

Grow customers by 20% annually

Increase number of dealerships by 10 per year
