Key case Points

Lexus in Europe



  • Toyota is a very successful car company throughout the world due to its Kaizen philosophy, great quality, good value and excellent R & D.

  • Toyota as a company is very capable with its luxury segment given their excellent success in the highly competitive U.S. luxury market.

  • Lexus is not selling well in the European market.

  • Opportunities are good, with growth in the luxury European auto market.

  • Lexus Product, Price, Place and Promotion problems in Europe include:

    • Poor product design and style for European tastes (too bland)

    • Poor product offering (no diesel engines)

    • European perception mismatch of luxury product (prestige is based on established heritage and tradition)

    • Lack of product differentiation (associated too much with Toyota)

    • Possible pricing (too low for European perceptions of prestige)

    • Non-differentiated distribution (sold in Toyota dealerships)

  • How important is each of the above in terms of root causes of the problem? How did you rate them and prioritize them?

  • Based on your prioritization, solutions should be directly relevant to problems – for example, Non-differentiated distribution as a major problem would likely demand exclusive dealerships for Lexus.

  • Identification of some risks associated with recommendations is essential (setting up exclusive dealerships would mean huge investments).

Recommendations



  • Clearly identified and rated the importance of problems

  • Connected recommendations directly to problems

  • Provided some clear roadmap for the future action

  • Recommendations solved the problem (Product, place..)
