SWOT ANALYSIS
-
5/19/2018 Ford Motor Company : 2009
25/41
Strengths:
Timely acquisition of capital makes Ford more financially sound than the other
Big Three carmakers.
Product line is respected by industry experts and is qualitatively seen to be a step
above many of its competitors. Recent surveys place Ford in a tie with Toyota for
greatest customer satisfaction, a significant improvement from five years ago.
Has a global market presence, with worldwide brand recognition and a
particularly strong presence in Europe.
Is perceived to be a thoroughly American brand, which helps Ford among
certain groups of consumers.
U.S. market share, after years of decline, has stabilized in recent years.
The Ford F-series pickup remains the most respected commercial truck available;
despite demand shifts, profitability on this line should remain high.
-
5/19/2018 Ford Motor Company : 2009
26/41
Weaknesses:
Poor Profitability: Ford still loses money on many automobile lines, particularly
within the United States.
Importance of single components source (Visteon).
The automotive market is highly competitive with large fixed costs. In addition,
the market demands continual long term planning and research and
development.
Very little market penetration within China and India.
Global excess capacity for the automobile industry is estimated to average 30.5
million vehicles per year from 2009-2011.
Ford is selling a durable good during the most severe economic downturn in
recent history.
-

27/41
Opportunities:
Ford has recognized the importance of small, fuel efficient vehicles and is activelytransitioning into this market. Of particular interest is Fords EcoBoost
technology, which the company claims will result in 20% greater fuel efficiency
and 15% fewer CO2 emissions.
The OneFordvision has the chance to generate significant margin increases for
Fordssmaller line of vehicles. Of particular importance is the Ford Fiesta, which
was recently released in Europe and China and is slated for an early 2010 releasein North America. The One Ford vision appears to be a coherent strategy for
Ford to adopt given its changed role within the industry.
Ford is perceived to be the most stable American car manufacturer because it
has not been forced to take bailout money, leading to slight increases in market
share.
GM and Chrysler flexibility is limited by government involvement in their debt
situation, putting Ford as a competitive advantage.
In the event of a GM or Chrysler bankruptcy, Ford has placed itself in a position to
steal market shareat least in the short term.
-
5/19/2018 Ford Motor Company : 2009
28/41
Threats:
While not in need of a government bailout, poor financial results are straining Fords
capital. Cash burn continues unabated, and estimates indicate Ford may be forced to seek
government financing by early 2010 unless sales stabilize.
While Ford is readjusting production, truck sales are falling rapidly and Ford may not be
able to shift production quickly enough to meet changing demand.
Bankruptcy of Visteon or other parts supplier could cause severe disruption of supply
chain.
While Ford has too many dealers at this time, it should remain wary of too many closures.
In addition, because Ford Credit provides financing for most dealers it must be careful to
avoid holding the bag when dealerships close. It is possible that the OneFordstrategy could fail. While standardization across regions
provides significant cost savings, the success of such a strategy is predicated on consumer
tastes remaining consistent enough across geographical region.
Continued abatement in fuel prices could result in American preferences reverting back to
larger vehicles.
All indications so far are that the new Ford Fiesta will be a success in North America.
However, the failure of the Ford Fiesta in the American market would be disastrous for the
company. Ford has staked its future on the Fiesta, and while early reviews are positive,
North American acceptance is critical.
Weakness of the supply base: most Ford suppliers rely on contracts with GM and Chrysler.
A bankruptcy of one or both could decimate Fordssuppliers.
Current managed bankruptcy proposals for General Motors could allow GM to emerge
from bankruptcy in a significantly advantaged cost position.

Divest Volvo
Sell off Volvo and try to make even for losses
China and India
It is time for Ford to steal market share in China
because of the economic incentives provided by
the Chinese government and GMs ongoing
difficulties. Whereas, Ford would need to make
a significant capital investment into the Indian
market if it wished to ramp up production whichcan wait till the Global Economy stabilizes
