Fiat targets Chinese market
Fiat hopes to sell
20,000 models in China
this yearItalian c manufacturer Fiat is launching a specially designed version of its Palio model
for the Chinese market,
Fiat is hoping to sell 20,000 of the vehicles in China this year,and 50,000 in 2003,
Despite its huge population,China only has five million cars on the road - 750,000 of
which were registered last year,
Manufacturers are increasingly keen to tap into a potential market of more than 1.3
billion people,many of whom are growing increasingly wealthy,
On-going expansion
Fiat's UK chief executive,Richard Gadeselli,told the BBC's World Business Report that
the cars would be produced in Nanjing in a joint venture with Yeujin Motor Group,
The plant will be located near an Iveco truck plant which Fiat opened in the mid-80s,
Mr Gadeselli emphasised that the models produced in China would not be exactly the
same as those manufactured in Italy,
"The common factor in these developing markets is that the road infrastructure isn't as
well produced as it is in a mature market such as North America,Japan or Europe," he
said,
This means that the suspension systems need to be more rugged,
The Palio project is part of a concerted push by Fiat to develop increase its sales in
emerging markets,
The Palio was first launched in 1996 in Brazil,followed by Argentina,
"We have (since) opened production hubs in Turkey,Poland,Egypt,South Africa,India,
Vietnam,China - and the next one will be Russia," said Mr Gadeselli,

Question
? Can you Critically Evaluate two product
management models using good
examples to illustrate your answer
What is a Brand?
? A brand is a name,term,sign,
symbol,or design or a combination
of them intended to identify the
goods and services of one seller and
to differentiate them from those of
the competition
- (Bennett,P.D.,1998,AMA)
Branding Basics
? Brands through History
? Brands v Products
- Products are:-
Made in Factories
largely copiable
potentially short lived
Branding Basics Cont?d.
? Brands are:-
– What the customer buys
– the receptical of the emotional values over
and above the functional values of the
product/service
– much more difficult to copy and thus
compete with
– a major potential source of differentiation
– longer-lived - brands can transcend the
original product/service,It is the
product’s DNA.
