Acknowledgement
One of the most pleasant parts of writing a report or any presentation is the
opportunity to thank those who have contributed to your efforts. Unfortunately, the list of
expressions of thanks no matter how extensive is always incomplete and inadequate.
This acknowledgment is no exceptions.
First of all we are thankful to Almighty Allah who gave us the courage to
complete this task and to our resource person Mr. Hassan Raza who stood behind us
whenever we need his guidance and support. His unflagging patience and outstanding
capacity work made this report possible.
We also admire the efforts of our other teachers and advisors and all other people
who help us in this report. And yes there are many others whom we are not able to
mention the names but we really appreciate the cooperation and help provided by them.
We will remember you all.
Thanks.

An Introduction to Auto industry in Pakistan
No other industry enjoys more protection in Pakistan than the autoindustry, particularly the two-wheelers. For almost two decades theimport of two-wheelers is subjected to a high, 105 per cent duty todiscourage imports. In the early 1970s imports of motorcycles inCompletely Built-Up (CBU), Completely Knock-Down (CKD) and SemiKnock-Down units were subjected to 10 per cent duty. Eight years later
many of the local distributors of Japanese motorcycles established theirplants to assemble the two-wheelers locally in collaboration with theirforeign principals and the duty was increased to an unaffordable rateof 105 per cent to protect the nascent industry.
Today the bulk of the national market is dominated by three majormanufacturers Honda, which enjoys the biggest share of the market,followed by Yamaha and Suzuki. Others producers like Vespa and newentrants such as Hero and Sohrab enjoy much smaller share. The threemajor Japanese manufacturers have not only been able to take asizable share of the market but also to achieve a reasonable deletiontarget of up to 70 per cent. However, the extensive protection for overtwo decades has created a virtual absence of healthy competitionresulting in drastic increase in prices in particular and quality ingeneral.
Today, prices of the two-wheelers have reached a level where themajority of middle income group, the main market of the two-wheelers,can hardly afford to buy a new motorcycle whose prices start from overRs 60,000. The prices of locally assembled Chinese brands arecomparatively less but still run in excess of Rs 44,000.
For the first time the government announced to reduce the duty onthe import of motorcycles; in CKD, SKD or CBU form, to 10 per centwhen finance minister Ishaq Dar presented the Budget 1999-2000 inthe Parliament on June 12. However, a notification issued by theministry of finance dated June 14 but received on June 23 said that theimports of motorcycles will be subjected to a regulatory duty of 95 percent. The registered local assemblers, which include all manufacturers,will be exempted from regulatory duty on the import of CKDs which willbe subjected to import duty of 10 per cent, sales tax of 15 per cent,

income tax of 5 per cent. No other import, including the automobiles, issubjected to a higher regulatory duty than the two-wheelers.
Pakistan, with a population of 140 million, is the seventh mostpopulated country in the world but despite tremendous market for two-wheeler its share in the global production of over 19 million remains
negligible. It produced a record 112,000 motorcycles in 1992-93 whichfell down to 90,000 in 1997-98. During the first nine months of 1998-99, (July 98 to March 99), a total of 55,000 two wheelers wereproduced as compared to over 68,000 in the comparative period theprevious year.
The declining sales had also worried the major producers who feel that the high
import tariff is hurting the industry.
Local manufacturers produce a handful of models with engine capacity of which is 70
cc, 100 cc, 125 cc and 150 cc. For the benefit of the people the government can reducethe import tariff on the motorcycles which are not produced locally bikes up to 50 cc
and over 200 cc. The reduced tariff will help encourage import of two-wheelers notproduced locally to keep providing protection to the manufacturers on one hand and amuch better price and product choice to the people on the other.
s definition:
Our main line of business is commuters. We have started with motorcycle
SPEEDO. We intend to market our product in the major cities of Pakistan in the first
phase. We will export our product, of course subject to its success in Pakistan and cross-cultural opportunities.
s
SWOT analysis is as follows:Strengths:
We have cost effect production processes.
We have research lab that persistently put due efforts as to how we can improve
our products quality (quality is defined as conformance to customersrequirements) in order to make it strongly competitive product in the market.
We have strong conformity and control in our processes.
Our production processes are based on prevention not inspection so as to
minimize the failure cost (failure may be internal or external).
Weakness:
Top management cost is high
As this is the commencing stage so, we will have to have a hefty advertising
budget.
Training cost

Threats:
In market we will have to face a stiff competition, as it is evident by the fact that there
are already very established brands e.g. Honda 70, Yamaha etc having great repute
accumulated over the years. And after WTO the imported motorcycles will be lessexpensive in the absence of import duties, so countries like China, which have cheap
labor cost, are more likely to be posing threats for Pakistani Products, which of courseincludes our brand as well.
Opportunities:
The face of the motorcycle industry has changed considerably over the last two years.
This is mainly because of the fact that motorcycles have now come in reach of the middle
class in terms of the price. We believe that our cost effective production process will
enable us to provide a motorcycle in the market at lower price as compared to the existingcompanies. This is a sustainable opportunity that can be exploited.
Strategic Situation Summery For New CompanyChanging face of the market
The availability of increased numbers of locally produced and imported two-wheelers
have not provided buyers with choice but have also pushed sales for the benefit of allthose associated with the trade. Just a year ago retail outlets at the Akbar Road (Karachi)
used to sell just 600 units a month. Today some 2,500 units are sold a month and the
figure is expected to cross 3,000 units in August. The market has not witnessed such salesactivity for around a decade when Karachi used to be the biggest two-wheeler market in
the country.
Despite the expectations that total sales at the Akbar Road would cross 3,000 units
every month, Karachi is still lagging far behind Lahore, which houses half the Karachi'spopulation, with much higher sales of 4,000 units. In fact, despite an otherwise welcome
in sales, the expected increase in its volume would match sales figures twenty years ago
despite substantial population growth.
The competition has also transformed the Akbar Road in another way there ismore new two-wheeler today although there has no change in the number of dealers. Two
years ago, there were a total of around 125 dealers at the market around 100 of whom
were engaged in buying and selling of used motorcycles due mainly to high volume oftrade in used two-wheelers. Today, the ratio has been reversed due to availability of
locally produced and imported products and buyers' willingness to buy new bikes which
are comparatively affordable. At present, 70 of the 125 outlets are engaged in new bike
business and around 50 are engaged in buying and selling of used ones.
The entrance of Chinese two-wheelers in the market has instilled a healthy
competition for the benefit of the buyers. An equitable valuation system can help bring
down the prices even lower to provide people with the most affordable choice. In light of
the above mentioned facts, we believe that we shall also exploit the opportunity availablein the market.

Strategic Management of Marketing Final Project
Strivers
Strivers are trendy and fun loving. Because they are motivated by achievement,
strivers are concerned about the opinions and approval of others. Money defines
success of strivers, who dont have enough of it to meet their desires. They favorstylish products that emulate the purchases of people with greater material wealth.
Many see themselves as having a job rather that a career, and a lack of skills andfocus often prevents them from moving ahead.
Experiencers
Experiencer is motivated by self-expression. As young enthusiastic and,
impulsive consumers. Experiencers quickly become enthusiastic about new
possibilities but are equally quick to cool. They seek variety and excitement,
savoring the new, the offbeat and the risky. Their energy finds an outlet inexercise, sports, outdoor recreation and social activities.
Experiencers are avid consumers and spend a comparatively high proportion of
their income on fashion, entertainment and socializing. Their purchases reflect the
emphasis they place on looking good and having cool stuff.
Believers
Like thinkers, believers are motivated by ideals. They are conservative,
conventional people with concrete beliefs based on traditional, established codes:
family, religion, community, and the nation. Many believers express moral codesthat are deeply rooted and literally interpreted. They follow established routines,
organized in large part around home, family, community, and social or religious
organizations to which they belong.
As consumers, believers are predictable; they choose familiar products and
established brands. They favor national products and are generally loyalcustomers.

Distribution channel
We would go beyond the conventional horizon of distribution channels that is aproduct is supplied to the distributor, then to the whole seller and finally to the retailer.
We would directly supply our motorcycle to the retailer so as to ensure that our potentialconsumer gets the product in time and to minimize the costs for betterment of all.
Distribution strategy will be selective.
h of market
Pakistan, with a population of 140 million, is the seventh mostpopulated country in the world but despite tremendous market for two-wheeler its share in the global production of over 19 million remainsnegligible. It produced a record 112,000 motorcycles in 1992-93, whichfell down to 90,000 in 1997-98. During the first nine months of 1998-99, (July 98 to March 99), a total of 55,000 two wheelers were
produced. As the Chinese bikes and new low priced bikes have comeinto the market, the sales of bikes have raised all the major cities ofPakistan. For the last two years the industry all together has registereda growth at growing rate and this upward trend is highly unlikely tochange in the coming years.

Price
We are going to use super value pricing strategy that is high quality at a low price
when compared to other products in the market. The price of the motorcycle will
be around Rs. 38,000/= .pricing with respect to promotion will be low active
Promotion
Potential consumers form our target market seeks information from both on-
and off-line sources. Their online sources are radio and television. Amongst thetwo, frequency and reach of radio is more regarding our target market. Off-linesources are word of mouth, magazines, billboards, in-house advertisements and
shopkeeper. We are not going to advertise a product in the first phase. We will
advertise the product on radio, magazines, billboards and newspapers in the first
phase. As the conventional distribution channel (distributor, whole seller andretailer) is not being used, it provides a healthy margin to the retailer so as to
encourage him to sale our product more. The promotional strategy will be a
combination of both Push and Pull.
Positioning strategy
Our positioning statement is gives you a better value. Another positioning
statement can be gives you something extra. Both these statements refer to the
special features of the motorcycle and that too at a low price comparatively. This
will be highlighted in our advertisement/promotional campaign.

Contingency Plans
If the existing strategies regarding product, price and promotion do not succeed, wecan change them to survive in the market. Product strategy will more or less remain
the same. Price can be lowered, promotional strategy can be changed from selective
to extensive targeting, and aggressive advertisement campaign can be launched.
