Some of the Problems Confronted with:

  • Capital, rent amount, credit refusal by the bank.

  • Production capacity increase, production size

  • Intensity research-development possibilities.

  • Brand reputation-country image: There is a foreign country admiration in Turkey. The quality of foreign manufactured machines is perceived as higher quality, a misperception that has forced the local manufacturers to seek new markets. Companies are preferring to purchase from Germany, China instead of Turkey due to negative conditions they’ve had during previous commercial business with Turkey.

Questions?

  • According to you, what kind of benefits would Ankara Technopark provide GM with?

  • In the long run, what is your recommendation to improve customer relationship for GM that has diverse customer profile?

  • Why do you think that the product sales of GM are less than that of German and US products?

  • What are the possible ways to improve the product sales?



Result and Proposed Solutions

  • Mr.Ünal has a great role in making GM succesful.He was aware of the opportunities and requirements. He has a good relationship with employees and customers.He is handling the R&D on his own, there may be some problems about “innovation” in the future. Mr.Ünal should provide the required background and should educate the newcomers on R&D. In this respect moving to technopark will enlarge the company’s vision. Another R&D department will be established that would conduct researchers other than Mr.Unal.

  • GM can use their built up brand names in comm. tools as much as possible. (İnternet, advertisements, brochures, billboards, exhibitions, logo, packaging, labelling)



Result and Proposed Solutions

  • According to Aaker, the brand is not only a physical product, but also the association of the country culture, symbols, brand consumer relation, customer profil. The country origin is the consumers perceptions for the country that production takes place. Development levels of the countries can cause diffrentiation in perception. There ise a common belief that products of developed countries are high quality, the products of developing and less developed countries are low quality.

  • There are various factors affecting a country to be brand. Such as foreign affairs policy, cultural diplomacy, tourizm, international conferences, seminars, exhibitions, sports games. Therefore to be a brand not only company but everone should have great duties.



GM has capital insufficiency.

  • GM has capital insufficiency.

  • Recently, banks are working with SME’s in good intention. GM can loan good deal of money from banks.

  • Gokser company can enter into a joint-venture with another company to increase their output. As a result of this alliance, the company can become a major player.
