Pros Cons
Status Quo-have presence in RV +
commercial vehicle market
-high operating costs- scarce human resource isallocated away from corebusiness (more potential)
Keep Brand
(continue expansion)
-attempt in capturing a portionof several vehicle markets
-high investment cost thatmay not give profitable returns
-take away managementfocus on core business
- requires a lot of marketingexpenses in order to competewith existing market leaders
Divest from Portfolio-funding for more brand with
higher potential
-more focused portfolio
-let go opportunities to
capture several marketsBUT,
with INTENSE competition,SMALL market share, and
LACK of expertise, chance ofSuccess is very LOW

Summary of Management PlanHarley-Davidson
I. Price Increase
- Justification to Consumers- However, not as prevalent because nature of product (recreational oriented + premium)
– price relatively inelastic
II. Capacity Expansion
- Select optimal location (close to DCs)
- Trainings crucial — product known for quality
- Work closely with suppliers
- Must also expand human resource to ensure high quality
Portfolio Management
I. Divesting Holiday Rambler
- Allocation of fund to other brand (especially Harley-Davidson)
- Finding prospective buyers: Existing Play vs. New Entrants
II. Trademark Licensing- Find prospective licensee
- Selection very important — portrays brand image
- Consider International Market — build ground for entering motorcycle market
- Especially useful in countries with no presence of Harley-Davidson
selling point of H-D = ―American Culture‖

Effects of Price Increase and Capacity Expansion
Price Increase• Increase Margin
- inelastic demand
- demand greatly > supply
• Reduces Demand- help balance supply and demand
- customer’s willingness to buy at current price exceeds company’s
ability to supply
• Reduces Lead Time
Capacity Expansion
• Increase Supply to Match Demand• Increase Market Share
• Reduces Lead Time
• Increase NPM (in value)
Why Not Increase Capacity
