Case analysis of Toyota In the case of Toyota, there are a number of opportunities and threats which are at present, affecting the organization. The opportunities that were outlined by the case included the growing market size of the American market in the portfolio of the Japanese company. The biggest opportunity for this organization was the growing demand in the US for its products. Another opportunity that came across the case study was the fact that Toyota’s competitors have as yet been unable to respond with efficiency allowing Toyota to expand its market base. The last opportunity that was presented was the favorable attitude by the local and US government towards the firm allowing it to expand further. The threats that are faced by Toyota include the increasingly competitive market within Japan where it’s losing sales to Honda and Nissan. Another threat that became quite prominent was the slowdown of the economies of the developing countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia along with the European countries. The strengths included the reduction of the dependency on the Japanese in terms of the day-to-day operating activities and the use of American designers for the US cars. Hence, allowing them to cater to the local American consumers. Strength included the reliance on the US factories to produce two-thirds of the cars hence decreasing the import taxes and lowering the currency risk. One of the main strengths of Toyota includes the updated styling and the improved quality and efficiency levels. The company is already planning to create newer products in order to increase its strength capacity. The weaknesses are the inability to comprehend the American preferences at the highest level of the company management. Also, some of the traditionalists still want to stick to the previous methods which might prove to be an issue for Toyota. The business-level strategy that the firm is using is the differentiation strategy according to which this organization is functioning as Toyota is emphasizing product and service quality. Its strategy of innovative new products which are in the development stage including an emission-free car etc. it has also taken on board American designers and it is quoted in the case that the Japanese have dominated the styling area indicating the fact that this organization is clearly working on a differentiation strategy level. According to my, the strategy of Toyota to focus on the US market is effective as over the next fifteen years, their differentiation strategy would allow it to develop a market edge which would guarantee a strong market position. Also, the current market scenario in the home region and in other nations is quite dismal hence; this would be the optimal strategy for Toyota to function according to. Case Analysis of Dale Inc.
