This section explores the Lexus NX, one of the most recent brands developed by Lexus in the CUV (crossover utility vehicle) sector. While the CUVs have become incredibly popular with the driving public, it becomes evident that the majority of OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) want to be considered a serious competitor in the premium end of the market (Allen, 2014). Takeaki Kato, an engineer in charge of the development of the Lexus NX, stated that for Lexus NX, "the design team produced a concept that pushed engineering so that we could have a vehicle that drives as good as it looks" (Vasilash, 2014, p. 18). Kato has been seeking to develop a car that was not merely a utility vehicle accompanied with high indicators of comfort, functionality, and higher H-points, but something that has more performance inside rather than engineer's previous advancements in sedan designs (Vasilash, 2014). Keeping that in mind, the Lexus NX was initially planned to be released in North America, but since the risk of entering the market with a completely new vehicle was a risky endeavor, the car was released in Europe and Asia focusing to increase its profile there as well (Allen, 2014).
The Lexus NX product line, being "conceived with an exciting cutting-edge design, featuring amazing technologies and premium attributes" (Caribbean Business Staff, 2015, p. 46) lists several designs with some unique features for each one. The NX 200T version is a 4-cylinder, 2.0-liter bi-turbo engine that yields 235 horsepower, and a six-speed automatic transmission supplied with the front-wheel drive. The NX 200T Sport is similar to the previous model but has an adjusted design that better fits body hold in sports suspension. The innovativeness of the interior and exterior design is best realized in NX 300h, which is a hybrid car combining a 2.5-litre Atkinson cycle gasoline engine with an electric ...

E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.

5. The Company
Brand Image
Lexus
Lexus is a Japanese brand name used by the Toyota Motor Corporation for such
export markets as North America, Middle East, Europe, Africa, Latin America, Asia
and Oceania, for luxury automobiles.
Established in the early 1980s and launched in 1989, the
Lexus marque soon became associated with quality,
luxury and superior customer satisfaction. The brand
reputation grew quickly until, barely a dozen years after
its founding, Lexus became America's best-selling line of
luxury motor vehicles.
Lexus was inspired by the success of the Toyota Supra sports car and the luxury
Toyota Cressida models. Both the Supra and Cressida were rear wheel drive cars with
a powerful 7M-GE/7M-GTE engine. The first Lexus-badged models, the V-8 powered
LS 400 and the smaller, Toyota Camry-based ES 250, appeared in 1989.
History
Brand
The Lexus marque was launched in the United States in 1989, followed by the UK
and Australia in 1990. An image consulting firm presented a list of 219 names, from
which Vectre, Verone, Chaparel, Calibre and Alexis were top candidates. While Alexis
quickly became the front runner (possibly due to the association with the Alexis
Carrington character on the popular 1980s primetime drama Dynasty) and later
morphed to Lexus, the name has been attribut ed to the combination of the words
"luxury" and "elegance." According to Toyota, however, the name had no meaning
and was just meant to be pleasing and easy to remember. Just prior to the release of
the first vehicles, the database service LexisNexis obtained a temporary injunction
forbidding the name Lexus from being used as they stated it might cause confusion.
Upon reflection, the court lifted the injunction, deciding that there was a low
likelihood of confusion between the two products.

Advertising strategy
Based on the Lexus in good reputation around the world it is using the following
advertising strategy in the Chinese market.
We can see the media advertising including the traditional like TV advertising,
magazines, but also using Internet. The newest advertising is showing on the internet
firstly. A simple advertising became a network series filming short movies. There
were more than 100 million visitors to watch it. It names “Employment”. We also can
watch it in China.
There are three steps advertising strategy for their Chinese market.
1. Asian advertising network - to enhance the Lexus brand image and establish its
superiority in the local credibility and status to support the Lexus brand advertising
network
2. The national image building activities - in various localities to enhance image
building brand awareness, further to win short-term interests, and to support the
aspirations of the brand message
3. Appropriate local marketing strategic advertising- stimulate sales, guide and
support product positioning.
Promotional activities –Test driving activity
Lexus China's five cities large roving test driving for Lexus activities hold in Beijing
in 2007 June. For the five Lexus test drive included auto cars, convertible cars and
sport utility vehicles. This is the first time in China Lexus organizing large-scale
testing activities. It was not only showing the cars but also want to show the car’s
culture and a lifestyle of Lexus.
After test driving activities, people have more emotional and personalized. Experience
for Lexus brand image and its outstanding performance.
Publicity and PR
In Sports
Lexus sponsor sports events strengthen brand image. Lexus only sponsors high-end
sports events including golf and sailing competition.
Golf
From 1995, Lexus has been organized amateur and professional golf, which is Lexus
on a response to customer interest, this sport match has become their life in an
important project. Since 2001, the Lexus golf on the international career with the

Asian Open. In July 2007, Lexus set up the China Youth Golf Team. Lexus Group,
together with its joint venture in China - Lexus Brilliance in the next three years will
fully support the growth of this team.
Sailing
In 2006 ,the America's Cup sailing competition, Lexus and Oracle joint title fleet with
Chinese.

16. Business Environment Analysis
Excitement about the Chinese car market is reaching fever pitch. The Chinese auto
market is growing rapidly, incumbent producers are making very high profits and
the growth projections appear unprecedented. The rest of the industry wants a piece
of the action, with massive increases in capacity planned. But we fear that the
industry’s lofty assumptions could easily prove wrong. The purpose of this report is
to provide a detailed contrarian view in response to the almost euphoric statements
being made elsewhere about China.
Billions of new capital to be committed; 1.3 bn customers are a powerful
attraction
No auto industry presentation to investors in 2003 is complete without bold
statements about Chinese growth ambitions. Billions of dollars of shareholders capital
is about to be pumped into China to add new capacity, in expectation of future
rewards. Forget the fact that the Chinese passenger car market is still smaller than that
of Spain, there are 1.3bn people and that makes China the largest potential market of
all.
Could history repeat itself in China
China has held a strong allure for international business for many centuries. It is
fascinating to observe how similar statements, made by the automakers in the last few
months, are to those made centuries ago. Henry Cabot Lodge, an American senator
who represented the textile industry, stated in 1890 that:
.All Europe is seizing on China, and if we do not establish ourselves in the east, then
that vast trade, from which we must draw our future prosperity, and in the great region
in which we alone can hope to find the new markets so essential to us, will be
practically closed to us for ever..
In 2003, at the Detroit Auto Show, Carlos Ghosn, CEO of Nissan, stated that: .If we
go in [to China] and we are wrong [about China’s growth prospects], then everyone
will be wrong, we will not lose any competitive position. But if we stay out, and
China works, then we will miss out..
Perhaps the growth of the Chinese market will live up to the very optimistic
expectations, but we fear that many of the auto industry’s growth assumptions are
based more on hope than fact. Chinese car sales grew 60% in 2002, but extrapolating
current trends may not be a reliable forecasting tool. We believe growth rates may
disappoint, demand may prove volatile and operations prove far less profitable than
hoped.

Lexus Current Situation
Established in the early 1980s and launched in 1989, the Lexus marque soon became
associated with quality, luxury and superior customer satisfaction. The brand
reputation grew quickly until, barely a dozen years after its founding, Lexus became
America's best-selling line of luxury motor vehicles.
Lexus belongs to the global Toyota family, whose members together constitute the
world's third-leading automaker. We and our affiliated companies employ more than
31,000 in the United States, and our Lexus and Toyota dealers and suppliers employ
an additional 160,000 persons. Toyota's investments in the United States amount to
$12 billion.

18. Brand Promise
Lexus has revolutionized the luxury motoring experience through its passionate
commitment to the finest products and the most satisfying automobile ownership
experience. We vow to value the customer as an important individual; to do things
right the first time; and to always exceed expectations. We brought together these
principles in the Lexus Covenant, which inspires our dealers and associates to treat
customers as they would treat guests and to go to any lengths to serve them better.
The Lexus Covenant is the basis for every decision we make, from cars that are
designed with the driver in mind to dealers that make customer satisfaction their most
important goal. This commitment to excellence not only makes a Lexus more
enjoyable to drive, but also a joy to own.
Lexus will enter the most competitive, prestigious automobile race in the world. Over
50 years of Toyota automotive experience has culminated in the creation of Lexus
cars. They will be the finest cars ever built.
Lexus will win the race because
Lexus will do it right from the start.
Lexus will have the finest
dealer network in the industry.
Lexus will treat each customer
as we would a guest in our home.
If you think you can't, you won't...
If you think you can, you will!
We can, we will.

19. Brand Blueprint
Brand Name & Logo
Hunter Communications, the agency who designed the "L" logo and also presented
the name to Toyota management, says Lexus was born of the "LE" on the automaker's
luxury edition vehicles, which created the acronym "Luxury Edition for the United
States" or "LEUS" with the "x" from "luxury" added to form "LEXUS".
The name
An image consulting firm presented a list of 219 names from which Vectre, Verone,
Chaparel, Calibre and Alexis were top candidates. While Alexis quickly became the
front runner (possibly due to the association with the Alexis Carrington character on
the popular 1980s primetime drama Dynasty) and later morphed to Lexus, the name
has been attributed to the combination of the words "luxury" and "elegance."
According to Toyota however, the name had no meaning and was just meant to be
pleasing and easy to remember. Just prior to the release of the first vehicles, the
Page 58
20. database service LexisNexis obtained a temporary injunction forbidding the name
Lexus from being used as they stated it might cause confusion. Upon reflection, the
court lifted the injunction, deciding that most people had never heard of LexisNexis,
and those that had, would not in all likelihood confuse a car with a database service.
It has been very easy for customers to recognize a Lexus car on the streets or at any
place. Besides the great design of the “L” logo, people can realize a Lexus car is
because of the same “Fine-Lines” design of the cars.
Japanese design seeks to achieve simplicity through masterful use of materials. It
strives for the purest possible expression using minimum resources. There is a word
for this, muda, meaning 'to avoid needless waste'.
Simplicity of this nature, however, is not easily achieved. To simplify without
sacrificing the end result takes great skill and deep knowledge of the material in the
designer's hands. For us, reducing a form to its 'pure' state is true creativity. There
are various definitions of this process to be found in Japanese culture but, collectively,
the end result could be described as 'incisive simplicity'.
This incisive simplicity and intriguing elegance builds expectations. And they are
expectations – of a new kind of refinement, power and driving pleasure – that our cars
deliver on.
Meanwhile, with producing many accessories of the cars and also other things such as
towels and clothing, Lexus gives a very strong brand blueprint image now, which let
the Lexus brand become easier and easier to be recognized.
Page 59
21. Designing Image
Above what a vehicle delivers in terms of driving pleasure, Lexus designers believe it
must touch you on an emotional level. To this end they created ‘L-finesse’, a unique
design language that is taking Lexus vehicles in a completely different direction from
today’s automotive design trends.
L-finesse stands for ‘Leading edge with finesse’. Yet to Lexus designers, it means
even more. They speak of ‘incisive simplicity’ in describing the clean lines devoid of
extraneous elements. An ‘intriguing elegance’ sees the coming together of seemingly
contrasting design themes; simplicity and complexity, which attract the eye to the
sheer artistry of the bodylines. The car’s spirit of hospitality is expressed through a
‘seamless anticipation’ in the way numerous elements welcome the driver into the
cabin, in readiness for the journey ahead.
Simon Humphries, Global Head of Design has some very passionate views about
L-finesse, something he believes sets Lexus apart as truly unique in terms of styling
and emotional appeal. “L-finesse is everything that can't be measured by numbers and
specifications. It is what's intangible about Lexus.”
More graphic in his description, the LS 460 Chief Designer Yo Hiruta described how
“…the character lines in the sheet metal come from inside, as though they were
pushed out by muscle," cited Hiruta. Very muscular, dynamic and confident.
In terms of the cars themselves, one hallmark of L-finesse is the higher placement of
headlights, with the grille stepped down, going against conventional design themes.
Another recurring theme is what they describe as the arrowhead design; the acute
angle seen at apexes like the side window trim, the leading edge of the taillight unit,
in the doorhandles and beyond. Such themes help assign a sense of continuity from
the front to the back of a car, and from one Lexus vehicle to another.
Through L-finesse design, Lexus cars will now be distinguished not simply by the
engineering brilliance within, but the elegance on the outside as well.

22. Brand Culturalization
'A capacity to continuously and relentlessly acquire and apply knowledge to evolve
and innovate.'
Mr. Takeshi Yoshida, Lexus Managing Officer.
Great work, whether it's art, architecture or engineering, cannot be hurried. This is all
the more important when it's work that affects people's lives. On the road to
excellence, every step must be scrupulously considered. Lexus applies this level of
attention to everything it does.
We realise that the 'ideal' vehicle is redefined every day as new technologies are
created and the parameters of perfection shift and expand. We know that every great
design breakthrough marks the starting point of an even greater one. With this
knowledge firmly at the forefront of our minds, we remain both practically and
philosophically committed to our task.
That task, however difficult to achieve, is very simple to define: Lexus pursues
perfection. However, we acknowledge that this pursuit involves a continuing and
evolving journey, rather than a destination.

23. The Persuit of Perfection
Lexus has become synonymous with luxury in automobile engineering. Yet each
refinement and technological innovation in a Lexus is there because it fits our aim of
the pursuit of perfection – perfection dictated by your driving enjoyment.
Every Lexus is capable of high performance, but that speed is attained with poise and
sophistication. We've taken the dynamic power of the internal combustion engine, and
harnessed it to bring you a truly engaging drive.
This is not about obvious performance, but about strong, silent power; a refined but
responsive experience.
Technology
It then uses this data to provide the optimum response to any situation, such as loss of
grip or oversteer. While this helps to keep you safe and at ease, it also extends the
performance capabilities of the car allowing you to enjoy the experience all the more.
Our advances are not limited to electronics. Every model has a passenger safety cell
featuring high-strength steel surrounded by impact-absorbing crumple zones. As well
as providing considerable safety benefits, the increased rigidity improves the cars
handling, allowing you the pleasure of enjoying the driving experience.

Technology Explorer section.

24. Comfort
We define comfort differently at Lexus. It goes beyond the immediate experience you
enjoy. Take for example the designs of our seats, which provide the perfect balance
and level of support. They can also be comprehensively adjusted until they are a
perfect fit for you. Soft, high quality leather upholstery adds a further touch of luxury.
Japan is the only nation in
the world to name master
craftsmen as Living
National Treasures, a
reflection of the Japanese
quest for perfection.
Refinement and attention
to detail are subtly
revealed, like the high
quality material found on
the inside of a kimono. In our cars it can be seen in the luxurious interior trim, the
steering wheel covers and the roof lining – all scrupulously considered and exquisitely
rendered. However, just as important as these attributes is something we call 'seamless
anticipation' – and it reflects a hospitality ethic rooted deeply in Japanese culture.
Imagine you are driving an LS and it's cool and overcast outside. You've set the air
conditioning to suit the conditions. But then the sun breaks through the clouds. In
many situations the heat build-up would mean you need to reach out and lower the
temperature. Not in the LS. The car senses the sunlight, anticipates your discomfort
and then adjusts the system to make sure you never even notice the difference.
The new GS, meanwhile, has an intelligent white LED lighting system that guides
you into and around the car. As you are approaching the GS, lights will come on by
the door handle, the scuff plate, the footwell, the front and rear seats and then the
engine start-stop button at just the right moment. This makes your interaction with the
GS effortless and intuitive.
This is what Lexus means by comfort. And you'll find similar examples of comfort
throughout the range.

25. Safety
These include sophisticated electronic management systems, such as Vehicle Stability
Control, to help maintain grip in even the most demanding conditions. Or
enhancements such as anti-glare mirrors and our electro chromatic instrument display
which helps to ensure clarity of vision even in direct sunlight. Some models have
intelligent front lighting that not only 'looks' around corners but also partially up and
down inclines. Others have water repellent windows that you can see through in the
most dramatic of downpours.
And if you do ever have an accident, be assured that every Lexus is engineered to
keep its occupants safe with multiple airbags, side impact protection bars and a rigid
safety cell.
Since building a very popular and strong culture in the Lexus company, the
employees work in Lexus all have the consciousness to pursue the perfection now,
which is a great environment for the staffs to work in.

Brand Advantage
The advantages of Lexus is very obvious, the service and the price. But it still needs
to build the other advantages as soon as possible.
With the result of a survey saying that 70% of the customers who bought Lexus cars
will be the back-customer again, Lexus no doubt has the best service system among
all the luxury car brands, at least in China it’s the fact. About the price, more than
60% people think that the price of Lexus is more reasonable than Mercedes and BMW
as a result of an online survey, which is quite a good result to see.
The other advantages such as Lexus has more environment-friendly productions are
not so obvious right now. In China, people care about the cars’ price, quality and
brand much more than does it protect the environment or not. But this could be the
next great advantage for Lexus to have.
