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

international clientele (Autoglass Company). They are expanding their enterprise by
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
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
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.

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.

The newly introduced products are the member of this category and have the
potential of growth maximization.

(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.

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
