P 1 Impact of external environment in Tesla
There may be many external or macro environment factors which effects the company
directly or indirectly. There are many Strategic tools to analyse the effects of external
environment factors on the company. These are those factors which company usually does not
have control but are affected by (Moore and et.al., 2015). For the same Tesla as a world leading
auto-mobile company has many factors affecting its working. Some of these factors can be
assessed with the help of various strategic tools.
PESTEL analysis of Tesla.
PESTEL analysis includes analysis of political, economical, social, technological,
environmental and legal factors of the business that impacts the Tesla. PESTEL provides overall
idea about the challenges that company is going to face in nearby future. Thus, a brief discussion
of the macro economic factors is as under.
Political factors impacting Tesla.
Political decisions and factors is important for the Tesla, because as one of the major auto
manufacturer in the economy company is operating in multiple countries with their diversified

political environment. Tesla have to analyse the following factors before entering the certain
market.
Tesla can stabilize its financial stability by the help of incentives which are offered by the
government. Additionally it can have advantages of political stability in some of automotive
markets .many additional benefits has been initiated by the government for the development of
electric and hybrid auto-mobile market which will also be favourable for the company.
Economic factors impacting Tesla.
Factors such as inflation rate, Rate of interest, economic cycle and foreign exchange rate are
economic factors which directly or indirectly impacts the working of Tesla. Economic factors
Tesla have to consider in their analysis. Tesla has contributed in the development of world GDP
by 3% in electric auto-mobile segment. Another economic factor is that declining battery and
material cost which will greatly impact the overall costing of the vehicle.
Social factors impacting Tesla.
Social factors such as culture, language, and way of working also have a great impact on the
working of the Tesla. Beliefs, attitudes, perceptions of the population of the country had effect
on working of the Tesla. In case of Tesla social status is the main thing and people rely on
enhancing their social status by the way of owing Tesla electric car (Pestle and et.al., 2015).
Another favourable thing is that people who are Eco-friendly would have to own this car. And
additionally this cost less in terms of maintenance and servicing as compared to others.
Technological factors impacting Tesla.
The speed of the technological innovation in the economy also impacts the Tesla. The timely
innovation and up-gradation of the technology may effects the Tesla as well as its competitors.
The benefits Tesla enjoys on behalf of the technology is that it goes on the updation of its

they are environment friendly too. Focusing on to the environment factor company is success in
building its brand image in the market.
Legal factors impacting Tesla.
Tesla had to consider the overall legal framework of the market. Tesla is facing a drawbacks due
to legal and regulatory framework that many of the states has temporarily blocked sales from
manufacturer to consumer. The framework says to include dealer in it but it means more expense
and less profitability. Another challenge it has to face is issue related to patent. Tesla has to

McKinsey 7's model for Tesla.

Tesla's McKinsey model states the way to allot seven elements of business to get the
effectiveness in the results. Strategy, structure and systems are hard elements in this model
whereas Staff, shared values, skills and style represents the soft values of the model.
Accordingly, all elements are interrelated and change in one will surely affect the other.
The application of McKinsey model on Tesla will be as follows:-

P3: Applying Porter’s Five Forces model evaluate the competitive forces of a given market
sector for an organisation.
Electronic vehicles are in demand today because customers are very attracted towards it.
As their demands are increasing in the market there are lot of producers who are coming to find
their competitive advantage in this industry(Johnson,2016). Tesla is one them, it found the future
of cars in electronic way. It produces lots of models in cars and continuously innovating
something new.
So the Study of Tesla Motors with respect to Porter's Five Forces are as follows

Porter's five forces is a business analysis model which helps in understanding why the
various companies along with different industries are able to sustain their profitability in the
market and stays with their position. It is used to find the different strategies followed in
corporates. It helps in finding the competition, rivalry, profitability among many industries in the
world. It included Competition in the industry, Potential of new entrants in the industry, Power
of suppliers, Power of customers, Threat of substitutes(Mathooko, and Ogutu, 2015). These
factors are explained as
Competition in the industry
The first of the five forces is the number of competitors in the industry. According to this,
higher the competitors in industry, lesser the company's power. So buyers and suppliers seek the
competition of the company they will have more bargaining power, and they will go with the
best deal they have provided by the company. Opposite to this situation if the company have less
rivalry in market they have advantage like they can raise the prices and gives the offers
and ,deals according to their strategy and achieve profitability. The automotive industry is very
competitive, but it is slightly different form the electric cars industry and it faces less
competition. But it has great impact on the customers, they are attracted towards it and that is
why many investors are investing in the industry of electric cars as they see the future in it.
According to the study there is no else model is available in the market except Tesla's Model S
which is very luxurious. For now the Tesla in inventing their Electronic vehicles more and more
affordable and comfortable. But competition is becoming exclusively high and many players are
trying to expand the EV market, and evolving new criteria to make it larger and profitable for all.
Chinese market will be the largest market in automotive industry by 2019 with local vendors and
suppliers mutual understanding (Zhao, and et.al., 2016). In order to overcome this force Tesla
should further keep on improving its models and marketing strategies to face the competition and
should keep on innovating. : Tesla operates in a highly competitive market and competitive
rivalry outlines the influence of competition on the automotive industry environment. The
emerging new companies are highly innovative in production levels and marketing techniques
which strengthen the marketing affects in comparison to other companies.
Potential of the new entrant

Company's power is also affected by the new entrant in the market, which possess many
impacts on the established company in the industry, it can harm the position of the company if
they provided best quality and products at good prices. But there are many barriers in any
industry to be crossed as the new entrant can strongly fight with the present scenarios, if it's
invested amount is better than existing companies, they have strong market strategies, so they
can stay in the industry otherwise they will have losses in it. As the new entrant in the
automotive industry will need high amount to be invested and specific set of skills and
technologies. These entry barriers are very high in EV industry. Tesla is strong competition for
new entrant because it already patents their products. But Chinese government pressurize the EV
producers to share their technology in order to access the Chinese market. This will make easier
for new entrants to manufacture and make profitability. Tesla follows the Green technology
because of its concern about the environment. If new entrants have to face barriers, and they also
can tie up with other brands to launch their products and collaborate with local vendors (Safa,
and et.al., 2015). In order to face this forces company should try to gain more and more loyal
customers in the market for this Tesla needs to deliver what customer wants. Tesla's business is
difficult to compete with as there is high cost of brand development involved, along the high
inventory costs and high economies of scale. Automotive manufacturing has high costs, which
impose a barrier to new firms. And players like tesla s benefit from high economies of scale
which new entrants can only achicve upon exceeding a production threshold.
This models is highly effective for the company to formulate the impactful strategies for
expanding its market share as it gives full analysis how external factors effect it and what steps
company can work on to improve its performance level.
Threat of Substitutes
As there are lot of similar items are present in the market, customer always buy their
likely product if they don't get it in their budget or according to their quality they will choose the
alternatives. So in the EV industry there are numerous alternatives to buy fully electric cars. The
hybrid cars and combustion engine cars are highly competitive to the electric cars n the Chinese
market as they are environmental friendly. They provide similar utility as electric car can do,
automakers like Hyundai and Toyota are about to release their first commercial fuel cell cars.

They are also eco-friendly by needs more infrastructure and technology to be successful in
market. So there is high threat of substitutes in market to Tesla. In order to overcome this threat
company need to go for differentiation strategy in order to make its care more unique and
different from its competitors in terms of technology and performance. There is low switching
costs, moderate substitute availability along with their moderate performance which gives the
customers their satisfaction regarding the products. Customers have only a moderate and limited
number of substitute options in market. Many substitute companies have only a moderate level
of performance in satisfying the customers practical needs.
Bargaining Power of Suppliers
Suppliers in any industry plays an important role as they supply the raw material to any
manufacturing unit. They can increase their prices if there are fewer suppliers are available in the
market(Aithal, Shailashree, and Kumar, 2016). Tesla is highly secretive and it is not easy to find
information on their suppliers. As Tesla is highly dependent on the Mercedes Benz, they have
mutual agreement, like Mercedes will give the interiors to the Tesla's electric cars and Tesla is
providing Mercedes with batteries for the B class Electric drive. There are lots of suppliers in the
EV industries are present but they have quality issues. So in this industry they mutual working is
profitable and it would lessen the bargaining power of the supplier like in case of Tesla and
Mercedes. Tesla should further look further for various supplier options as this industry is
expanding and should look for the best suppliers in the international markets. The business
depends on the reliability of suppliers and Tesla's suppliers have moderate forward integration
which refers to the limited control of suppliers in the distribution levels. There is moderate
supply of suppliers and level of suppliers in goods and products is also moderate.
Bargaining Power of the Customers
As increment in competitors, consumers bargaining power relatively high. But customers are
more conscious about quality, as they don't get good quality products they will deny choosing it.
Tesla and BMW are building charger networks in order to expand the uses of electric cars in the
market and consumer will not give second thought to choose it. They are completely eco-
friendly. But consumer finds some issues in electric cars, so they go for hybrid cars and many
other luxurious cars, so the bargaining power of consumer is high. Tesla needs to work on

customers satisfaction as they are satisfied with their products, they will get more inspiration to
do something new (Rothaermel, 2017). Also, company needs to overcome these issues in nearest
future and try to develop electric cars as peer the needs and desire of customers and also should
keep addressing the issues of the customers. Tesla's customers are a direct factor that determines
the company's sales and revenues. There is low switching costs and moderate substitute
availability and the intensities of these external factors reflect the bargaining power of customers
as a moderate force.

P4: Applying a range of theories, concepts and models, interpret and devise strategic planning
for a given organisation.
As Tesla is leading company in the EV industry. Here is the study of some theories and
models which interpret and devise strategic planning for Tesla to understand it better and it will
help to evaluate which would be perfect to apply on it. Porter's Generic Competitive Strategy
tells about the company's profitability is either above or below the industry average. Firm is able
to sustain profitability in the long run of competitive advantage. The competitive advantage are
Low cost and Differentiation. Basically to achieve success firm combines the competitive
advantage with the scope of activities which leads to three generic strategies like low cost
leadership, differentiation, focus. The focus strategy has two variants, cost focus and
differentiation focus. Cost leadership is explained as company is set to become low cost producer
in its industry(Wicker, and et.al., 2015). According to it the company will seek the profitability
in the low cost productivity as they produce or manufacture at low costs it will be beneficial for
them. They can find the low cost advantages as they get raw materials at low prices, low labour
cost etc. It will lead to high profitability. As the company is successful in achieving the low cost
advantage it will be considered as the above average in industry. Differentiation this competitive
advantage is about the uniqueness of product, how product is different from other company's
products. Some other dimensions are considers that are widely valued by buyers. Consumer likes
the unique products and with affordable prices. It will be awarded for its different idea and
innovation in the present industry. Focus in strategic planning has main role because it will give
an eye to the company to focus on the costa and differentiation. Cost focus is considered by
company for cost advantages in its target segment. Differentiation focus is explained in terms of

company's target segment differences, it will see the differentiation in its target segment. How
they are different from each other and how company can produce according to them. Target
segment always have differentiation in its needs, production, delivery system which serves better
to them from others(Ouma, and Oloko, 2017). So company will need to provide consumer
according to their demands. If they loose the focus it will lead to many losses which is uneasy to
bear.
Ansoff's Matrix is marketing planning model which explains the company's products and
their market growth strategies. It suggests the business attempt growth which depends on
markets new or existing products in new or existing market. The result from Ansoff's matrix is
series of suggested growth strategies which set directions for business strategy. These are Market
Penetration, Market Development, Product Development, Diversification (Gurcaylilar-
Yenidogan, and Aksoy, 2018). Market penetration is about selling existing products in existing
market in which they cover four objectives like they can maintain the market position or market
share of current products, next is secure dominance of growth markets, third one is find out the
competitors in market and restructure the market strategy to be in lead, and lastly give new offers
to enhance the customers and increment in existing customers. So the business is focusing on the
market and products, and have good information about the products and need of the customers,
knowing the competition. So this strategy will need much more capital investment in new market
researches. Market Development justifies the meaning of it as the growth strategy where the
business seeks the new market to sell its existing products. It can be achieved by following
approaches like new geographical markets, new product packaging or changes in their
dimensions, scheming offers, changes in prices, offer discounts which attracts the new market
segment, new distribution channels. Hence, market development is more risky strategy than
market penetration. Product Development is another growth strategy according to which new
products is introduced in existing market. This strategy is helpful for the business where products
need to be differentiated in order to maintain its position in market. It involves research and
development, being first in market, details insight into customer needs. Diversification is growth
strategy where new products is launched in new market. Its highly risky strategy in which the
company has low or no experiences (Irtaimeh, Al-Azzam, and Al-Qura'an, 2016). So it needs
strong planning, strategies because there is very less difference in reward and risk. It's rewarding
when the idea is successful and product line is like by customers.

Tesla needs to apply the different strategies and approaches in accordance to be leading
electric automotive company, it follows Porter's generic competitive strategy in which it can use
the low cost leadership, focus and differentiation approaches, which helps in attracting the
consumers. Tesla needs to find the proper target segment, and they provide their product
according to the consumers need. Company launched new unique product in automotive industry
and focuses on the consumers demand. They also studied the market, so they apply the low cost
production which generates high revenues. As they are growing fast in EV industry so company
follows the Ansoff's Matrix's Product development and Diversification growth strategy because
they want to enter with new product line and approaching new market to be established. They are
innovative and leading to being rewarding because they have created successful product which is
likely by people (Chen, Chowdhury, and Donada, 2019). They entered into new markets with
new products and working more to innovate in their products. Company changes their marketing
strategies by seeking their competitors, so they can take competitive advantages among them
first. Tesla is known for its innovative, creative ideas. Customers are supporting their products
and ideas, and lots of praises. So it should get rewards. From the Porter’s Generic strategy Tesla
should adopt differentiation strategy as with the help of this strategy Tesla will come up with
unique products and services which will make it unique in the industry. This strategy will help
the company to gain a competitive advantage in the industry.
Figure 1Bowman's Strategy Clock Model.

Based on the Bowman’s strategy clock Tesla can position its product and services in two
dimensions one is perceived value to the consumers and another is price. So, company in order to
position its products in the market should choose the dimension which is differentiation in which
company have to make efforts to develop the cars with high realms of quality at comparable low
price. Tesla should offer its cars to customer at high level of perceived quality which makes its
product distinctive from other but at the same time at affordable price.
The strategic plan for Tesla's improvement in the performance levels of production targets in the
car engines and reaching the customer satisfied levels can be summarized as
1. Tesco needs to upgrade the technology in the engines of cars to improve the
complications in manufacturing and work towards developing the technical skills of
workforce to improve their performance levels.
2. There is unbalanced supply due to material shortage and customer adaption needs to new
technology with competitive force in industry which needs to be addressed by
strategically planning the production functions.
3. There is extensive market competition in automotive industry along the changing
preferences which needs to cope up, Tesco needs to improve the production and enhance
its marketing strategies.
CONCLUSION
According to the study of the business strategies which are followed by Tesla to be in
lead. Company is using different marketing strategy to make their identity and stays in market.
They invent the Electric cars and evolving it better day by day, as they apply their researches on
the products. As the electric cars does not need fuel, so they are very effective and efficient for
the consumer because it just needs charging and maintenance charges. So customers are attracted
towards it. They like to buy products which are affordable and comfortable for them. Company
is working in the directions of saving environment from pollution, raising demands of more
products like this. It influences economy of the country. It affects Chinese market. Tesla follows
different marketing strategies to be in competition and gives competition to their rivalry. They
establish new market trend at affordable prices.
