Core competency outlines the core procedures of an organization. A core competency is a
concept of theory that postulates the factors that a business sees as dominant to the way the
company or its employees work (Grant M. R., 2010). In case of Autoglass the core
competency is that they can switch or repair any kind of broken or wreked windshield of any
model, no matter what (Autoglass Company).It shapes the business missions and visions of
that particular organization (Kerry, P., 2000).

than the anticipated goal or expected result. This process indicates that a group of options and
elasticity in terms of staff initiative, team contribution and adaption during changed
circumstances (Ivanauskiene, N, &Auruskeviciene, V., 2009).Strategic resolved of Autoglass

Role of Strategy of Autoglass:
Compilation as well as the dissemination of vision and operation is the primary task of
strategic administration of Autoglass. . Compilation of strategy of Autoglass is made in such
a way that the definite strategy maintains a specific time passe for execution of that strategy.
This outlines the raison d‟etre of the organization.

Strategic Architecture of Autoglass:
Strategic architecture means to response five separate questions about the fundamental
process of making strategy of the organization. The questions are compilation of “What”,
“What Else”, “What More”, “What Now”, “How” (Grant M. R., 2010).Autoglass prepare

enhance their business globally. Repairing and swapping of broken windows as soon as
probable and to obtain the customer satisfaction are the main objective of Autoglass. Using
the customer reputation they are expanding their business all over the Europe.

1.2 Review the vital issues involved in Strategic planning in Autoglass
In order plan strategies and implement operations there are some vital issues that are needed
to be considered. Based on the case, Ansoff‟s model can be used to analyze the competitive
advantages of Autoglass Company (Kerry, P., 2000).
Autoglass has fixed their focus on customer satisfactions by proper customer services.
Autoglass is very much customer oriented and they always try to enhance their level of
services to avail in the competition.Already they have earned the highest level of customer
satisfaction and improved their customer service in a milestone level only by replacing the
broken windows with a limited cost. We can analysis the competitive advantages of
Autoglass.

Autoglass’s Competitive Benefits:
Autoglass offers the premium service of replacing or repairing windscreens.By doing so they
are grabbing a fair share of the market (Autoglass Company). Not only that, they are also
providing their customers with several other services regarding wind screens problems. As
Autoglass is increasing day by day, they can use the Ansoff‟s model to analyze their
competitive recompenses over others. The Ansoff‟s model is given below:

Page | 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 (Patric, G., &Kerry, P., 2006). Based on the scenario and research, we can
seeAutoglass is expanding its market progressively and has the ability to serve more than
they are doing now. So based on the current scenario, Autoglass can serve consumers with
their existing merchandises and can also introduce them with new types of services (Vehicle
Industry, 2013). These four alternative strategies face various types of risks. The strategies
are:
Market penetration: Market penetration means to enter the competition with products. By
following this strategy Autoglass can surplus its current market segment by selling more of
their products and attracting more new customers. If it is done extensively, Autoglass might
lose focus on their main objective.
Market development: Market development means to improve and retain market position for
the products of a company. Autoglass is the current market leader in this windshield repairing
industry. So they can brand Autoglass more extensively and try to grab new customers to
increase its market share.
Product development:Autoglass can introduce a new product to the market that would
complement the existing products. By product development we mean either inventing a new
product or improving old products with new features. But this strategy has a severe
drawback.If the customers failed to understand the new product features, then it would result
in dropping revenue.
Diversification:Autoglass can create a range of products that will divide up the risks and
decrease the chance of income loss.
Autoglass Company is in topmost of its operational industry. Autoglass also should highlight
on the geographical location where they should function and specify the minimum necessities
of the suppliers to get the quality products and the quantity required. So they have the choices
to increase the progress rate in a steady manner by satisfying both existing as well as
potential customers and upsurge its market share. Autoglass can set a five years growth
strategy plan based on the Ansoff‟s Growth Model to achieve their target.

Definition of Top-Down and Bottom-Up
Informal Planning: Informal planning means to generate a plan by the leader or the manager
without any structured way and conventional framework. This process is helpful to fix the
short term objective of the organization. Instant acknowledgment of manager‟s charge to
booty an extemporaneous accommodation after consulting his accessory or after allegory the
all-embracing situation.
Top Down:A top-down approach is about the breaking bottomward of a arrangement to
accretion acumen into its compositional sub-systems (Haults& Hunger, T.L. &J.D., 2013).
This approach would help them to attain organizations goals. Autoglass is implementing this
approach in their invention R&D and they are pretty successful.
Bottom-Up:A bottom-up access is the piecing calm of systems to accord acceleration to
added circuitous systems, appropriately authoritative the aboriginal systems sub-systems of
the appearing arrangement (Haults& Hunger, T.L. & J.D., 2013). Autoglass is application
this access in their account development to amuse the barter and they accept been appealing
acknowledged by application this approach.
Behavioral Approach for Autoglass: In order to get the most out of the resources and to
prevail in the coming future Autoglass need to approach in the Top-Down method. They have
to improve their product quality so that they can grab a diversified market.Aotuglass is a
growing company in the area of service industry and in near future the services they are
providing will not be sufficient enough to hold the current position in the market.

The vision of helping their customers with veracity and loyalty is likely to lead them to develop and set the margins higher in the business. Autoglass Company Core Competency: Core competency outlines the core procedures of an organization. A core competency is a concept of theory that postulates the factors that a business sees as dominant to the way the company or its employees work (Grant M. R., 2010). In case of Autoglass the core competency is that they can switch or repair any kind of broken or wreked windshield of any model, no matter what (Autoglass Company).It shapes the business missions and visions of that particular organization (Kerry, P., 2000). Strategic intent: The strategic intent shows a theoretical projection of the forthcoming of the company, rather than the anticipated goal or expected result. This process indicates that a group of options and elasticity in terms of staff initiative, team contribution and adaption during changed circumstances (Ivanauskiene, N, &Auruskeviciene, V., 2009).Strategic resolved of Autoglass shows that they are the forerunner of the existing market and the business is doing all the compulsory activities to keep them on leading position.

  • 5. Role of Strategy of Autoglass: Compilation as well as the dissemination of vision and operation is the primary task of strategic administration of Autoglass. . Compilation of strategy of Autoglass is made in such a way that the definite strategy maintains a specific time passe for execution of that strategy. This outlines the raison d‟etre of the organization. Strategic Architecture of Autoglass: Strategic architecture means to response five separate questions about the fundamental process of making strategy of the organization. The questions are compilation of “What”, “What Else”, “What More”, “What Now”, “How” (Grant M. R., 2010).Autoglass prepare their strategy by answering this bunch of questions.

Using the customer reputation they are expanding their business all over the Europe. 1.2 Review the vital issues involved in Strategic planning in Autoglass In order plan strategies and implement operations there are some vital issues that are needed to be considered. Based on the case, Ansoff‟s model can be used to analyze the competitive advantages of Autoglass Company (Kerry, P., 2000). Autoglass has fixed their focus on customer satisfactions by proper customer services. Autoglass is very much customer oriented and they always try to enhance their level of services to avail in the competition.Already they have earned the highest level of customer satisfaction and improved their customer service in a milestone level only by replacing the broken windows with a limited cost. We can analysis the competitive advantages of Autoglass. Autoglass’s Competitive Benefits: Autoglass offers the premium service of replacing or repairing windscreens.By doing so they are grabbing a fair share of the market (Autoglass Company). Not only that, they are also providing their customers with several other services regarding wind screens problems. As Autoglass is increasing day by day, they can use the Ansoff‟s model to analyze their competitive recompenses over others. The Ansoff‟s model is given below: Page | 4
  • 6. 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 (Patric, G., &Kerry, P., 2006). Based on the scenario and research, we can seeAutoglass is expanding its market progressively and has the ability to serve more than they are doing now. So based on the current scenario, Autoglass can serve consumers with their existing merchandises and can also introduce them with new types of services (Vehicle Industry, 2013). These four alternative strategies face various types of risks. The strategies are: Market penetration: Market penetration means to enter the competition with products. By following this strategy Autoglass can surplus its current market segment by selling more of their products and attracting more new customers. If it is done extensively, Autoglass might lose focus on their main objective. Market development: Market development means to improve and retain market position for the products of a company. Autoglass is the current market leader in this windshield repairing industry. So they can brand Autoglass more extensively and try to grab new customers to increase its market share. Product development:Autoglass can introduce a new product to the market that would complement the existing products. By product development we mean either inventing a new product or improving old products with new features. But this strategy has a severe drawback.If the customers failed to understand the new product features, then it would result in dropping revenue. Diversification:Autoglass can create a range of products that will divide up the risks and decrease the chance of income loss. Autoglass Company is in topmost of its operational industry. Autoglass also should highlight on the geographical location where they should function and specify the minimum necessities of the suppliers to get the quality products and the quantity required. So they have the choices to increase the progress rate in a steady manner by satisfying both existing as well as potential customers and upsurge its market share. Autoglass can set a five years growth strategy plan based on the Ansoff‟s Growth Model to achieve their target. Page | 5
  • 7. Definition of Top-Down and Bottom-Up Informal Planning: Informal planning means to generate a plan by the leader or the manager without any structured way and conventional framework. This process is helpful to fix the short term objective of the organization. Instant acknowledgment of manager‟s charge to booty an extemporaneous accommodation after consulting his accessory or after allegory the all-embracing situation. Top Down:A top-down approach is about the breaking bottomward of a arrangement to accretion acumen into its compositional sub-systems (Haults& Hunger, T.L. &J.D., 2013).

Bottom-Up:A bottom-up access is the piecing calm of systems to accord acceleration to added circuitous systems, appropriately authoritative the aboriginal systems sub-systems of the appearing arrangement (Haults& Hunger, T.L. & J.D., 2013). Autoglass is application this access in their account development to amuse the barter and they accept been appealing acknowledged by application this approach. Behavioral Approach for Autoglass: In order to get the most out of the resources and to prevail in the coming future Autoglass need to approach in the Top-Down method. They have to improve their product quality so that they can grab a diversified market.Aotuglass is a growing company in the area of service industry and in near future the services they are providing will not be sufficient enough to hold the current position in the market. 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.
