The Jaguar-Land Rover (JLR) is all set to get an Indian heart built by owner Tata Motors. The Indian auto company that took over the British luxury car maker would produce engines for the carmaker to cut costs. JLR was acquired by Tata Motors in 2008.
Jaguar-Land Rover and Tata Motor will form a management team and merge the expertise of both sides. This move will end up seeing the engineering part going to the Tata experts and the design part to JLR executives. According to a JLR executive J. R. Richard Astros Jersey , 鈥淲ith the company making country-specific models of Jaguar and Land Rover for certain markets like China and Russia, common parts will reduce expenses.鈥?br >
There is no doubt that the move has been undertaken to save on the cost. But it is also surprising as Tata Motors and JLR are strikingly different from one another. Both the brand target completely different set of buyers. So, the move comes in order to cut costs for the JLR models as the brand goes on an expanding spree in newer and emerging markets like China and Russia. The JLR has to focus on India Carlos Lee Astros Jersey , China and Russia for the future as the car market in these companies is growing. This move is orchestrated by the new leadership team at Tata Motors under Carl-Peter Forster. JLR sources engines from Ford Motor Co with capacity of more than 4.2 litres and has a five-year contract running to 2013. 鈥淲e are looking at 2-litre engines that can power the new Land Rover model, LRX,鈥?Mr Forster said recently. 鈥淔ord currently does not have such capacity size and is talking to Peugeot-Citroen Roy Oswalt Astros Jersey ,鈥?he said.
This would not be a unique move as many car manufacturers prefer India as their production hub due to the country鈥檚 expertise in reducing cost. According to a Tata Motors spokesman, 鈥淎s India is a preferred source of production, we鈥檒l source the engines here with the design left for the JLR team.鈥?br >
First it would be only Land Rover that would be subjected to this experiment and later on even Jaguar would be incorporated into this. There is some resistance form the JLR executives especially after Tata Motors posted a consolidated net profit of Rs 2 Mike Scott Astros Jersey ,571 crore for the full year to March-end against a loss of Rs 2,505 crore a year ago for the brand JLR.
It is also being thought that of developing the Jaguar and Land Rover separately. The plan is that Range Rover being the flagship brand, JLR is looking to turn it into a 鈥榖rand of its own鈥? As a result the Defender and Discovery models go under Land Rover while Range Rover drops the Land Rover logo and new launches like the LRX will be part of a separate portfolio.
Search Engine Marketing Hype Killing Small Businesses ECommerce Articles | June 16 Jose Cruz Astros Jersey , 2005
Think about the first thing you ever heard about ?marketing a website? on the web. 99% of the time the first words anyone ever hears are ?search engine marketing.? Or some semblance of the phrase.
And from that point on, the hammering of misinformation never lets up. You are led to believe that your business will die a terrible death without the search engines. You are led to believe that only people who can guide you through the mine field of search engine optimization are the SEO ?experts.?
Also you are told time and again that the only way to market online PERIOD is through the search engines. You are conditioned over time to focus most, if not all Jimmy Wynn Astros Jersey , of your efforts on tricking the search engines into liking your site above all your competitors for search terms where ?there can be only one.?
Well, here?s a wake up call: The vast majority of small business startups will never have the resources, time Andy Pettitte Astros Jersey , or know-how to turn an idea into a profitable online business focusing only on search engines.
Just look at the deluge of information there is out there on Google and how to rank well with them. People are picking apart their ranking patent application right now to try an glean a website promotion strategy based upon what Google reveals in their application about their ranking system.
Is this information valuable to a small business wanting to sell its wares to a whole market rather than just the part of that market which uses one of the big search engines?
