attenuating components (Hoffman, K. Douglas, Scott W. Kelley, and Holly M.

victorious the hearts of the customers.

1.2 REVIEW THE VITAL ISSUES INVOLVED IN STRATEGIC

PLANNING IN AUTOGLASS

Autoglass Company can likewise assist their customer’s with two types. So, we can

investigate strategies and apply procedures which are required to be considered. This

marketing device comprises of four distinct trading schemes based on new product

introduction and living goods (Gómez, L, & Ballard, D., 2013).

Autoglass’s Competitive Benefits:

Autoglass is the market foremost contemplating windscreen services and repairmen. And

being the reputed company, it can introduce distinct pieces of merchandise affiliated to the

windscreen service and the clientele would love to try them, as Autoglass is dependable and

well admired. So, for investigating the comparable advantage of the Autoglasscompany, we

can have a gaze on the Ansoff’s Growth Matrix.

4

Page 6: Bs 8gsg

Autoglass is providing services to more than one million customers who are having problems

with their windshields every year. Ansoff’s model of Growth suggests four different sets of

alternatives (Armstrong, G., &Kotler, P., 2006). Based on the scenario and research, we

learned that Autoglass is expanding its market gradually and has the capability to serve more

than they are doing now. So based on the present scenario, Autoglass can serve customers

with their existing products and can also introduce them with new means of services

(Automotive Industry, 2013). These four alternative strategies face different types of risks.

The strategies are:

Market penetration: Market penetration means to go in the affray with products. By

following this scheme Autoglass can surplus its current market segment by trading more of

their goods and appealing more new customers. If it is done extensively, Autoglass might

misplace focus on their major objective.

Product development: By merchandise development we signify either creating new

merchandise or advancing vintage products with new characteristics. Autoglass can introduce

new merchandise to the market that would complement the living goods. But this strategy has

a severe drawback. If the customers failed to understand the new merchandise features, then

it would outcome in mislaying revenue.

Market development: Market development means to advance and keep market place for the

goods of a business. Autoglass is the present market foremost in this windshield fixing

industry. So they can brand Autoglass more extensively and try to catch new customers to

increase its market share.

5

Page 7: Bs 8gsg

Diversification: Autoglass can create a portfolio of products that will divide up the risks and

reduce the chance of revenue loss.

Autoglass also should focus on the geographic position where they should operate and

identify the smallest requirements of the suppliers to get the quality goods and the amount

required. Autoglass Company is in peak of its operating commerce. So they have the options

to boost the development rate in a stable manner by persuading both living as well as

potential customers and boost its market share. Autoglass can set a five years development

scheme design founded on the Ansoff’s Growth form to achieve their target

Definition of Top-Down and Bottom-Up

Informal Planning: Certain as blowing up instant things managers use this approach while

it's conditionally significant to conceive any prescribed structure of close to up with or the

timeline for conceiving isn't ample. Informal planning is that the methods while the

supervisor or foremost of an assembly evolves an inspiration with no one accepted structure

and rigid associations (Grant M.R. 2010). It’s important to alignment short allowance

objectives of the association.

Top Down: A top-down approach is vitally the shattering down of a system to gain insight

into its compositional sub-systems (Grant M. R., 2010). Autoglass is thriving in utilising the

approach in their merchandise development.

Bottom-Up: Autoglass is successful in utilizing this approach to provide the services to the

customers. A bottom-up approach is the piecing simultaneously of designs to give boost to

more convoluted systems, thus making the original designs sub-designs of the emergent

scheme (Grant M. R., 2010).

Behavioral Approach for Autoglass: Autoglass is a growing business in the service

commerce and the service they are providing will not be sufficient for them to hold on to the

location in the market. Autoglass should approach in the Top-Down method in alignment to

capitalize their assets and to handle the affray in the future. They need to reach up with some

expansion for their merchandise and market so that they might a diversified market for the

customers.

1.3 EXPLAIN MINIMUM THREE PLANNING TECHNIQUE FOR

AUTOGLASS

In order to grow in the industry, Autoglass can use three techniques, and they are:

1. BCG Growth Share Matrix

a. High Growth and High Market Share (STARS)

This strategy deals with high amount of cash and the management determine

the overall cash flow in business.

The star businesses are prior to become cash cows in the future and

management can harvest from the business venture.

b. Low Growth but High Market Share (CASH COWS)

From the matrix, we can see the product which has low growth but high

market share is the steady business and generates steady revenue.

c. Low Growth and Low Market Share (DOGS)

When the products starts to lose its market share and growth rates decline then

the product falls into dogs category. The organizations should divest from the

business at this moment.

Management should watch over any unnecessary expenses.

d. High Growth but Low Market Share (QUESTION MARKS)

The newly introduced products are the member of this category and have the

potential of growth maximization.

The product has also the risk of being a trouble product if any revenue is not

received from it.

Page 9: Bs 8gsg

2. Strategic Position & Action Evaluation Matrix (SPACE)

Autoglass can use the SPACE matrix to work out the demand and obligations of the

customers to function and make strategies to elaborate the market for their merchandise

(Armstrong, G., &Kotler, P., 2006). SPACE matrix has four different segments. Each

quadrant interprets the associations position and the course of actions required (Kotler, P.,

2000). As Autoglass is retaining a powerful position in the market, they can use the hard-

hitting schemes to arrest and disperse their market. It will furthermore help them in

determining the SWOT of the organizations.

3. Profit Impact of Market Strategy (PIMS)

PIMS is a kind of database that presents solid information and clues to support the principles

that are undertaken to gain comparable benefits. The stakeholders are kept in four

classifications so that each stakeholder has their exact privileges and obligations in address of

the making the concepts for the association which will be applied for the betterment of the
