Strategy Alternatives
The first alternative strategy that Chevrolet could implement is to get away from their idea of planned product obsolescence. Instead of coming out with a new model every year, they could come out with a new model every other year. By doing this, they would save a lot of money and time. They would also have more time to develop a safer and more innovative vehicle.
The second alternative strategy is to focus solely on fuel efficient and electric vehicles. This is not only the popular vehicle to buy but it also would contribute to the new regulation of making all vehicles 54.5 mpg by 2025.
The last alternative strategy is to focus Chevrolet’s efforts in other countries. Chevrolet already has a massive presence in the United States. They already have a loyal customer base and top selling cars. Expanding into the global markets would allow for more opportunities and increased revenue.
Strategy Recommendation
I recommend that Chevrolet focus its efforts on producing fuel efficient and electronic vehicles. With their idea of planned product obsolescence, coming out with a more fuel-efficient car will also please to the consumer. Society is more health and environmentally conscious now and Chevy needs to adapt to that. This recommendation works with consumer demand and the new government regulation. Additionally, with changing gas prices this option makes consumers less reliant on oil. Chevrolet can also be ahead of the curve in producing all their
One of General Motors key products is the Chevrolet Corvette. The Corvette is made right here in America, and has been around for over 60 years, an there has been six different generations. The Corvette my be built in America, but it is sold worldwide. I believe that the Corvette was at the end of the maturity stage of its life cycle and moving toward the decline. But is now back in the growth state, GM has just come out with the new model of the Corvette, the old model leaned toward buyers that were in their 50s and up, but the new model is designed with leather, aluminum, and carbon fiber, along with a new sleek looking body style that appeals to the younger age. This new look allows the corvette to compete with Ferrari, Porsche, and Lamborghini. The corvette is also just as fast but is half the price which helps attract more customers that are looking for a cheap but very fast and reliable sports car.
Though Ford, Dodge, and Chevrolet had managed to make cars affordable a new problem arose, and that was who can stay at the top of the automobile business? Though we’ll never know exactly when Ford’s and Dodge’s rivalry will end, we do know they will keep making some nice
Chevrolet’s known as the “Heartbeat of America” for a reason. Before any masterpiece is perfected, it goes through ups and downs. Chevrolet is known for their sporty cars, sports utility vehicles, and pick-up trucks. A strength that is evident in the company’s product mix is that the company introduces a new car every year. Because of this, Chevrolet owes their high sales to their loyal customers. This alone enables the company to excel above their competitors. Chevrolet has models of cars that compete with Ford, Honda, and Toyotas. Chevy introduced, the Cruz, their version of the Corolla and Civic.

I see this as a plus for the Chevy brand. Furthermore, this helps incorporate something for everyone. Even more so, by possessing a different image, all their vehicles are not bland and lack innovative details, design, and features. Moreover, this helps with promoting better sales and establishing their brand loyalty and overall brand name. Equally, important I would not want to see all of the same type of cars on the road as that would be very boring. I love to see the flare and style of others. Chevrolet wouldn't stand by its roots if all the cars were the same. They are known for quality, speed, and differentiation.
After Chrysler’s government bailout, there were many changes implemented in order to save the company and one of them being technology.

The company’s success will rely much on how it embraces and moves along with technology.

Competition is good for producers but better for consumers, more competition in the market means more: ideas, channels of distribution, market stability and competitive (lower) prices for consumers. Ultimately, healthy competition forces producers to offer better products and services at lower prices. Automobiles provide people with “…aspirational value in addition to a basic mode of transportation…” (Reinhardt, Yao & Egawa, 2006) consumers make purchasing “decision based on the styling, color, and concept of the cars in addition to functions and pricing” (Reinhardt, Yao & Egawa, 2006). So far, TMC has been trying to catch up with Honda and Nissan in the ‘innovative’ department. Let’s not forget the criticism the company previously faced for offering its customers “…proliferation of look-alike cars…and following rather than setting a trend” (Reinhardt, Yao & Egawa, 2006).Since, Mr.

What they should do first is to find more range of products as well as create public awareness because not many people know about SKODA.
