Project Profile

The Suntrakker Solar Car project was conceived by a small group of San Diego State University engineering students motivated by the success of the General motors “Sunrayce,” committed itself to designing and building a superior solar-powered vehicle to compete in the world Solar Challenge.

From modest Beginnings, the Suntrakker project quickly revolved into a cross-disciplinary educational effort encompassing students from many colleges of San Diego State University. The project has provided students participants and volunteers with valuable real-life experiences and has brought them together in an effort that benefits not only the students and the university but also the environment.

Sponsors of this project are not only contributing to the successful achievement of the overall Suntrakker project but will also enhance their goodwill, advertising, and name promotion by association with the project. In addition, the Suntrakker offers a unique opportunity for the companies who can donate parts and accessories to showcase their name and test field their products in public in this highly publicized international contest.

Chapter 6 in Bazerman & Moore (2013) cover how emotion and motivation influence decisions. Reconciling internal conflicts can be a challenge but keeping these elements limited when creating a strategic plan during the decision-making process is a skill that becomes transferrable to other areas of management and leadership. For your initial post, think about crisis management such as one of the recent school shootings. You are on the school board. You have small children in the school system. Discuss how you would need to keep emotions out of the planning to avoid another school shooting. What types of things need to be addressed to keep emotions away from the creation of a plan? Initial Post Length: minimum of 350 words

In other words, explore and develop a strategy to enter new markets based on blue ocean? See 6 path analysis below, provide at least 1 reference in APA format

Six Paths Analysis

1.Industry and current state of competition

It is a Fast growth industry but still with less competition

Medtronic has a strong brand name and ability to leverage technology to products and processes

It has established a strong supply chain of channel partners and retailers

It has some economies of scales due to large scale operations

Current and new customer targets- Hospitals, health clinics, healthcare providers, and government agencies

current Product segment- healthcare Therapies and medical equipment’s

still need to look across complementary product and service offerings

It has worked so far on functional-emotional orientation of an industry, but must find new arenas to beat the current competition

2.Strategic Group

New products and new markets

Mergers and acquisitions to gain strategic advantage.

Focus on technology and improving research capabilities.

It has to Build more capacities and invest money on research and development to put a barrier to new players in industry and increase its profit margins.

New product designs using different materials need to be implemented

It still needs to follow new Purchasers who pay for the product or service, target those actual users who use the products, identify and work with those influencers who have a role to play in decisions.

3. Buyer Group

In most industries, competitors converge around a common definition of target buyer. However, there are chain of buyers who are directly or indirectly involved in buying decisions, such as:

Purchasers who pay for the product or service

Actual users who use the products

Influencers who have a role to play in decisions

Intermediate buyers who are traders

Regulators who influence the buying decisions

Thus, blue ocean strategy is formulated by finding out who are the chain of buyers in your industry and which buyer group does your industry typically focus on. Medtronic created Blue Ocean by focusing on stroke patients by launching The Solitaire™ 2 Revascularization Device instead of only focusing on diabetic patients.

4. Scope of Product or Service Offering

An organization must think about what happens before, during, and after your product/service is used by the consumers. In most industries, competitors converge within the boundary of their industry’s product and service offerings. By understanding the context in which your product or service is used and what happens before, during, and after, you can identify pain points of the consumers, and eliminate these pain points through a complementary product or service offering.

Medtronic’s complementary mission and leadership in treatments for structural heart disease represents the best possible opportunity for bringing ATS Medical’s innovative cardiac surgery technologies to more surgeons and patients.

5. Functional emotional orientation

This path delves into the functional and emotional appeal that the brand and its products have on its customers.

Its cutting edge innovative technology helps in enhancing its functional aspect of the different products.

The company has shown continual growth. This is the best example of its developing function aspect of business.

The Medtronic brand is a recognized global brand.

Many highly qualified doctors have its products, used in their diagnosis.

The brand has a deep emotional connect in the minds of the consumers. The consumers can trust the brand and consider it very dependable.

6. Time

Medtronic has proved time and again, that it has the capability to look across time and predict market trends

Its continual growth across the years portrays the effectiveness of this capability

The path-cutting technology and innovation has always kept this company, a step ahead in the market

Review Porter's Five-Forces Model in Chapter 3.  Evaluate each force in the model as either a weak, moderate or strong competitive force based on the criteria in the text and PPs and within the context of your general knowledge of the world-wide automobile industry.  Based on your evaluation, give an overall assessment on the intensity of competition (either weak, moderate and strong) in the world-wide automobile industry. Hint: as your text indicates, the rivalery among competing sellers, in the center of the model, is the strongest of the five forces and should be weighted the highest force in making your overall assessment of the industry.
