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

Why Not Increase Capacityto Fully Match Demand? 

Quality Issue

If increase too fast, can jeopardize

quality of product.
