Conversely, in a rural market where incomes are low and jobs are scarce, they may not grant any dealerships at all. The next step is experience.

Starting a career in sales is more realistic than jumping to the management and distribution of some of the world’s most luxurious cars such as Bentley and Aston Martin.

The Efficiency of Cars Nikeisha S. Sandy SCI207: Dependence of Man on the Environment (ABL1146J) Instructor: Walter Lambert December 12, 2011 The efficiency of cars is a major issue. There are several reasons why cars should be more efficient, however, there are many reasons why they should not. The efficiency of a car can affect both the economy and the atmosphere. While cars should not be more efficient, cars should be more efficient because the cost to the consumer may decrease, more efficient cars can save money on taxes, and cars are a necessity. At one point, the idea of using a car that was electric powered may have seemed outrageous.
Making sure that product is manufactured on time (taking into account any delays that may arise from overseas manufacturers) and ready for distribution when the consumer needs it. It is very hard for the dealerships to be able put their names behind a product that is difficult to keep in stock as todays consumers are on a “I want it now” basis. The advantage to this strategy is that if you have marketed and advertised properly, there will be demand at the dealerships from your product. If you are able to keep the dealerships properly stocked, then they will be pleased, as well as the customers and you will make your money back from all that costly advertising.

Some of Zipcar’s major competitors are the transportation providers, such as taxi cabs and public transportation. Zipcar has managed to have an advantage over these transportation providers by providing cheaper service for long distance travel, which would prove to be more expensive if a taxi was used and for providing services in virtually any location, whether dense or lighted. Supplier power for Zipcar is evaluated as moderate. Zipcar uses its own line of cars to provide rental car services, which provides for no delays in car availability from third parties.
Hybrid Vehicles Are hybrid cars worth buying? As gas fluctuates, it’s fair for us to think that the price is slowly going to go up for the time being. Whether we drive a gas-gulping SUV or even a hybrid car, the concern for gas consumption remains constant. I think with the gas prices being so high, many people will start buying hybrid vehicles, and will not make any effort to research the facts that come with owning one. Some may say that hybrids are beneficial to the economy but they leave out the high costs, safety issues, and difficulties that come with buying a hybrid vehicle.
Therefore, customers gain the benefits of private cars without carrying high cost of ownership or renting through access to a fleet of vehicles on demand basis. By the year 2005, Zipcar had the largest membership base, and the only main competitor in the car-sharing business was Seattle-based Flexcar. (fer) Besides the car-sharing service, Zipcar major competitors were rental agencies who provided similar services, and some others as taxi cabs and public transportation. So, buyer power is quite strong, since consumer may easily switch to another alternative. However, it is worth to mention that Zipcar had competitive advantage of providing flexible services and price policy to its members.
