Charles Hughes, president and CEO of Land Rover North America, Inc., needs to determine how to best position the new Land Rover Discovery in the US market. The main items that need to be taken into consideration are the role of Discovery vs. other models in the Land Rover line, the strength's and weaknesses of Land Rover, and strong competition from Japan who were the most well known brand in the U.S. 4x4 leisure market. The history of the Land Rover Brand is an important factor to look into
strong heritage in the USA much in the same was as Land Rover did in the United Kingdom. Jeep itself had three lines; much in the way Land Rover was trying to carry various lines for different segments of the market. The international impact on the North American SUV sales was modest, and the luxury segment of the SUV class was about to become more competitive with new products from the likes of Mercedes and Lexus. Company Analysis: Land Rover started off in the UK and was able to market itself
Land Rover North America, Inc. Case Analysis I. Executive Summary Charles Hughes, president and CEO of Land Rover North America (LRNA), and his executive committee want to expand LRNA’s reach within North America. Based on the growing strength of the U.S. SUV market, research which suggests consumers are seeking vehicles that can help them have “experiences” while being practical, safe, reliable and luxurious, the success of the Discovery in the U.K. and near doubling of the Land Rover brand
In order to successfully launch the Discovery, LRNA had to identify a target market. The influx of Japanese models proved that consumers clearly wanted an SUV. As with any successful product launch, it was imperative for LRNA to identify its target market. The American market was dominated by Jeep and Ford at the time. Land Rover decided that they could deliver a product that would satisfy consumers as well as compete with the market leaders. Analysis of research data revealed that two separate groups
After the grand opening of Range Rover in North America (later renamed as Land Rover North America) in April 1986, the subsidiary experienced drastic changes including product expansion and the introduction of a new retail strategy as the business grew with prosperous potential. Specifically, after successful sales of the original Range Rover model, the company decided to undertake the manufacturing of the Land Rover Defender, Land Rover Discovery, and Range Rover 4.0 SE to suit different audience’s

Regrets - Personal Narrative My tour of duty or should it be 'tour of hell' was coming to a very welcomed close for myself and my fellow comrades. Getting a slight shrapnel wound was not unwelcome, as it confined me to the field hospital, whittling away a few more days. My stay at the make-shift hospital seemed a lifetime away from the battle as I could only hear the occasional blitz of shell fire echoing in the distance. The frontline must have been a good ten miles away. However, I
Introduction The alliance between Honda and Rover from 1981 to 1994 was thought to be a successful case at that moment. However, four years after the end of the relationship, Rover still just had all those old models in its product portfolio. On the other hand, it was said that because of the end of the relationship, Honda was put back by four years (Button 2005). This report is divided into two parts. In the first part, the Honda-Rover case is discussed in terms of their capacity and incentive

The term Chelsea tractor refers to the large 4x4's which are used around the cities and towns, these vehicles are now more popular than ever. As stated by the BBC "Last year some 187,000 were sold compared with 80,000 a decade before accounting for almost 8%, or one in every fifteen, of all cars sold." This shows a growing trend in the popularity of these types of vehicles, many people use them for the school run due to the safety aspect of the cars, many just like to show off their wealth and
£100 I was told to go to a certain place in Icmeler, near a large forest. It was a very dirty place, in contrast to the fine Land Rover type vehicles, which looked completely different by the end of the journey. The jeep was white and shiny and the sun's rays were bouncing off them and hurting my eyes. They looked like the jeeps that you get in England, the Land Rovers, but without the roof. A scruffy, rough looking man came over to talk to me. He looked like he had never had a
“drivability”, obstruction of vision, and concerns surrounding safety. Current trends in vehicle design focus on addressing these problems to achieve appealing designs with the best qualities of both cars and trucks, as seen in all the new designs from the Land Rover. 2004 will be remembered as a pivotal year in the automobile industry. It was a year in which high gasoline prices started a sea change among U.S. consumers that will finally create significant demand for fuel-efficient vehicles. Gasoline prices
Among the customers who prefer Fiat Chrysler products includes middle-aged working women and young people, such as students who prefer smaller cars that are fuel efficient and cheaper to the pocket. Efficiency entices These groups of consumers. However, educational attainment does not play a significant part in the buying choices of Fiat consumers. Fiat specializes in the niche of cars that are small, efficient, and low-cost in a country where people embrace fuel guzzlers. However, some consumers
Introduction Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) were two separate automotive companies until 2002 when Ford merged the two British premium brands, creating a single business entity. Previous business history of the brand has been unstable similar to other conventional vehicle manufacturers in the UK (Marketline, 2013). In 2008, Tata Motors, India’s largest automobile company acquired Jaguar and Land Rover from Ford for $2.3 billion (Johnson, Whittington and Scholes, 2011). Land Rover is considered the world’s
Car advertisements are something we see every day. They are in nearly every magazine and part of many commercial breaks on TV. One brand that you might often see is Land Rover. They’re known for their rugged outdoors theme to advertise their SUVs. The first advertisement I picked shows a Land Rover Discovery near the edge of a cliff with mountains in the background. In the upper-left are the words, “For everyone else there’s the internet” and there are also coordinates below those words. The second
glimpse of the interesting planet, and scientists are still working on a better solution to get there. The first rover to explore Mars was "Mariner 4", which arrived on November 28, 1964. It was a spacecraft designated to orbit the planet of Mars, but not to land. It lasted for about 8 months, and was not able to survive much longer than that due to the conditions on and around Mars. Rovers before have captured images and samples, but this may not be enough to give us the full image of what is really
particular, the rover can study the icy surface, the cloud of water vapor, and possibly dig in to get to the water underneath the ice. To achieve the best evidence for the possible ocean underneath, I would deploy the rover onto the area of Europa called chaos terrains. Europa is made up of 40 percent chaos terrains. Chaos terrains is areas where the icy surface is broken into big pieces. The reason I would do so is because there would be more cracks and areas to where the rover can look into and
