EVALUATION OF CORE COMPETENCES
REMARKS
Being “willing and able to take risks”
allowed Tesla to find its position in the
market, and more importantly, force
others to take notice. Infrastructure
investment shows this, and is supported
by their vision.
“Generate self-reinforcing enthusiasm for
the brand” has helped Tesla focus on R&D
through better resource allocation. This
overcomes limitations in the external
environment related to potential
substitutes and larger budgets of
competitors.
Tesla’s use of “cutting edge technology from
top to bottom” is a sign of commitment
related to the values of Elon Musk and helps
them succeed. “Unintended?” benefit of
technological laws, Moore’s etc.

Don’t underestimate the value of a vision1
Starting with a niche and expanding is viable2
Some external environments, despite initial assumptions, provide opportunities3
If you provide an exciting product, especially a premium product, 

consumers will generate buzz themselves

Products are quickly becoming more “technological”, and managers should account for this5
