11.
12. STRENGTHS
Global Brand: - The popularity of the brand name results in brand loyalty.
This in turn helps to drive away other rivals of the same industry. It reduces
the pressure created by other competitors.
Global Financial position: - One of the biggest strengths of Nissan. This can
indicate that Nissan will be able to survive tough economic conditions since its
businesses are spread around the world.
Renault-Nissan Alliance: -The alliance has provided advantages to both
companies. The companies can spread out to new markets with low costs since
they don’t have to build new plants. E.g. Renault builds cars in Nissan's Mexico
plants and Nissan uses Renault's Brazil plant and distribution networks. Now
they have increased purchasing power too excuse now there are two big
companies working together, not Nissan alone. The alliance has so far enhance
the profitability, market capitalization and sales in 192 countries for both
partners
13. WEAKNESSES
Dependence in overseas market: - Product Innovation time lag; -
Nissan produces more vehicle There have been time lags for their
abroad than at home. Increase new innovation, especially in the US
market. The company was a relative
dependent on overseas late-comer to the country's high-
production indicating their pace profit margin and high-volume
of globalization. However in case pick-up markets. Nissan's late entry
of a global economic crisis or a meant that it has suffered from the
change of government policy in decline in the sector as a result of
rising fuel prices in the United
other countries it could mean the States.
home industry could also be
affected since it is not stable by its Lack of Diesel Technology: - Diesel
own but dependent on overseas technology has been increasingly
markets. popular throughout the world as it
is said to be reducing fuel emissions
and cost. However Nissan lacks the
technology and experience to
produce diesel engines of
comparative quality since demand
for diesel engines is low in Japan...
14. Potential Opportunities
Asia market: - Lower penetration coupled with strong rise in income
levels, led to continuous jumps in car sales in markets like china and
India. Hence it is necessary for global player to be present in these
countries. In India in year 2004-05 domestic sales of car and utility
vehicles has crossed the 1 million mark. Therefore Asia market will
create a huge demand.
Relocate its manufacturing unit to reduce cost: - China, India and
Thailand have been regarded as the Low Cost Production bases with
their unique offering to the outsourcers. Low cost country will provide
them the global clientele and technology and also have synergetic
operation. Area of opportunity for India lies in the products which
have high level of design and engineering requirements, low level of
automation and significant assembly requirement.
Renault-Nissan Purchasing Organization (RNPO): - The RNPO, was
one of the main ways in which Renault-Nissan would combine their
resources to create a more competent organization. This has led
Nissan to achieve greater purchasing power and has served to reduce
costs and reduce the bargaining power of suppliers
15. Potential Threats
Cross-Cultural Disharmony: -When the two companies integrate more
cross cultural disharmony occurs. If so, overall company performance
may be reduced and the current strengths that the Alliance provides may
become instabilities.
Rising Commodity Prices: - The price of steel used in car production
has risen by nearly 30%. As this increase in cost has been passed on to
the consumer, demand for new vehicles has reduced
Market saturation: - Due to overall market saturation, the individual
company new product development strategy towards market expansion is
changing from iterative year on year model changes to drastic innovation.
The emergence of SUV market few years back is an evidence of how
product and market innovation has changed the very composition of US
auto market.
