of that specific organization (Kotler, P., 2000). In instance of Autoglass the core competency
is that they can swap or repair any kind of wrecked or damaged windshield of any model
(Autoglass Company).
Strategic Intent:
The notion of strategic intent proposes that there is a general outlook on whereas the
enterprise ought to be going rather than a unquestionable affirmation of aide in Nursing
expected conclusion and this means that there ought to be galore of flexibility central the
4
5. affirmation to permit for workers begin, cluster facilitate and adaptation in light-weight of
modified attenuating constituents (Hoffman, K. Douglas, Scott W. Kelley, and Holly M.
Rotalsky.2009). The strategic intent of Autoglass is to determine itself as a result of the
market foremost wholeheartedly. They’re doing all the undertakings to remain foremost.
Role of Strategy of Autoglass:
The foremost task in strategic administration is commonly the compilation and dissemination
of the illusion and therefore the procedure affirmation. This summarizes, in essence, the
comprehending of a corporation (Hoffman, K. Douglas, Scott W. Kelley, and Holly M.

1.2 REVIEW THE VITAL ISSUES INVOLVED IN STRATEGIC
PLANNING IN AUTOGLASS
In order plan policies and implement strategies there are severalvibranttopics that will
essentiallyconsidered. Based on the circumstance, Ansoff’s model can be used to examine
the competitive advantages (Kotler, P., 2000).
Autoglass’s Competitive Benefits
Autoglassoffers the finest service of replacing windscreens. They are providing numerous
services to clienteles concerning windscreens and seizing a fair share of the market
(Autoglass Company). As Autoglass is developing day by day, they can use the Ansoff’s
model to investigate their competitive compensations.
Autoglassis providing facilities to more than one million consumers having issues with their
windshields every year. Ansoff’smodel of Growthproposes four different sets of substitutions
5
6. (Armstrong, G., & Kotler, P., 2006). Based on the consequence and inquiry we learned that
Autoglass is increasing its market regularly and has the competency to assistfurther than they
are doing at this time. Therefore based on the situation,Autoglass can serve customers
through their current products and similarly can announce a new mean of services
(Automotive Industry, 2013). These four alternative strategies face different types of
possibilities. The strategies are:
1. Market penetration:A market scheme herewith a enterprise explorations for to
recognize bigger dominance in the market all through which they already are giving
(Melody, Y. & Kevin, H., 2000). This conceives commonly focuses on apprehending
a larger share of aide degree dwelling market. All through this part Autoglass will
increase its market segments by enterprise an allotment of their merchandise and
request an allotment of customers.
2. Product development:Autoglass can announce to the market a new artifact that
would supplement the existing products. But this tactic has a severe disadvantage. If
the consumers failed to infer the new product then this one would result in dropping
revenue.
3. Market development:Autoglass is the marketplace leader in windshield repairing
business. So they can brand Autoglass more widely and try to snatch new consumers
to upturn its market segment.
4. Diversification:Autoglass can generateanassortment that will banquet the risks and
decrease the loss of revenue.
Autoglass also must give importance to the geographic segment where they should maneuver
and specify the leastrequests of the dealers to get the eminence product. Autoglass Company
is in uppermost of its functioning industry so they can raise the growth amount in a fixed
manner by nourishing both present as well as new customers and upsurge its market segment.
Autoglass can set a five years development strategy based on the Ansoff’s Growth Model to
attain the target.
Definition of Top-Down and Bottom-Up
Top Down: A top-down approach is basically the breaking down of a scheme to gain
awareness into its compositional sub-systems (Wheelen& Hunger, T.L. &J.D., 2013).
6
7. Autoglass is exhausting this approach in their product expansion and they are
quiteprosperous in using this tactic.
Bottom-Up: A bottom-up approach is the patching together of schemes to give upsurge to
more multifaceted systems, thus creating the original systems sub-systems of the promising
system (Wheelen& Hunger, T.L. &J.D., 2013). Autoglass is using this approach in their
package development to mollify the customers and they are quite successful in using this
tactic.
Behavioral Approach for Autoglass:Autoglass ought to access centered the top-down
adjustment in alignment to capitalize their assets and to handle the affray aural the future.
Autoglass could be a growing action centered the action and accordingly the account they're
adventure won't be appropriate for them to comprise on to the area axial the market. They
accept to access to up with some developments for his or her commodity and bazaar in
alignment that they could an absolute exchange for the purchasers.
Casual conceiving Informal Planning:Informal planning is that the procedures while the
supervisor or foremost of an assembly evolves an inspiration with no one accepted structure
and rigid associations (Grant M.R. 2010). Certain as blasting 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. It’s significant to order short allowance
objectives of the organization.
1.3 EXPLAIN MINIMUM THREE PLANNING TECHNIQUE FOR
AUTOGLASS
In order to develop in the businessAutoglass can use three procedures, and they are:

products and keepanagreement in the product assortment (Kotler, P., 2000). It will
similarly help Autoglass to define when and wherever they are going to finance in a
new product development and at what time to remove all the wages from the product.

the product falls into dogs category. The organizations should divest from the

requirements to function and make tactics to expand the marketplace (Armstrong, G.,

organizations place and the progress of actions (Kotler, P., 2000). Autoglass is in a
sturdysituation in the market. So, they can practice the forceful strategies to seizure
the market and it will moreover help in defining the SWOT of the organizations.
