    CASE STUDY 12M


    8.
    American Motors Corporation (AMC) for years had been America’s fourth largest
    producer of automotive vehicles. It dropped to fifth position when Volkswagen
    began producing cars in US, after joining with Renault of France in 1980. AMC
    started to drop them. It began producing and selling Renault’s designed cars instead
    of its own. AMC was also the world’s largest producer of four wheelers since its
    acquisition of Jeep from Kaiser in 1870. Joining with Renault did not threaten the
    viability of AMC’s Jeep line because Renault had no four wheelers. In fact, Renault
    becomes exclusive distributor for Jeeps in France and elsewhere.

    By 1980, worldwide sales of Jeep were over 2 lakhs per year with ¾ of that in the
    US and Canada, which represented the domestic business. The international sales in
    1981 including communist countries were 45,000. Until the fall of Shah, Iran was
    the biggest market. Among four wheelers, Jeep was the largest seller. Its
    competitors in order were Toyota, Nissan and Land Rover. Jeep was the most
    global of the competitors also with manufacturing assembly and on licensing in over
    20 countries. In contrast, Toyota had most of its assembly operations in just
    Indonesia and Venezuela. Most of the Jeeps were produced from Ohio. However,
    AMC Jeep had limited manufacturing in a few foreign markets with assembling
    operations and licensing in many others. AMC Jeep had equity in plant located in
    Australia, Egypt etc. Altogether, two assembly plants in Africa, three in Middle
    East, 12 in Asia Pacific and 4 in Latin America. Most of the local manufacturing is
    done to meet local demand.
    Jeep sales outside US and Canada are responsibility of a firm based in Michigan.
    The concern has 185 employees, of which, 25 are living in foreign countries, 25 are
    American expatriates. Jeep vehicles have enjoyed universal recognition and appeal
    due to their use in the Second World War by US. In developed countries, Jeeps are
    promoted as recreational vehicles while multipurpose in developing countries. It
    can be seen that Jeep are sold in large number in world markets and in countries
    with difficult economies, environmental and use conditions.

    Questions:
    Assuming as global business manager, make appropriate suggestions on the
    following:

    i. What strategy should Jeep vehicles will be adopted for global market?
    ii. Should the Jeep warranty be the same in every market?
    iii. What should be the service and promotion strategy for global markets?
