Pakistani and Japanese cultures have blended exceptionally well to form a professional team of dedicated specialist. This team has done wonders since its inception and has created many records. It was on April 17, 1993 when the foundation laying ceremony was held in a record period of eleven months on March 31, 1994 the construction and plant and machinery installation was completed. Running a race against time the first car was rolled out of the assembly line on May 08, 1994 paving the way for a formal inauguration of the plant.

The deletion program for indigenization has become a success, which started with 23% in 1994 and has crossed 30% by now. The process of developing vendors to manufacture local parts according to our standards has been tedious but fruitful. The local parts quality is being checked thoroughly to maintain the standards and achieve customers satisfaction. Service department conducts two campaigns a year to evaluate the performance and solve the customer complaints on the spot.

COMPANY DESCRIPTION
The company was incorporated on November 4, 1992. The principal activity of the company is the assembly and progressive manufacture and sales of Honda vehicles and spare parts.

COMPANY ANALYSIS
The company maintained its growth from the previous year. The extensive marketing and promotion strategies continued. The sales rose to Rs 6.5 billion against Rs 4.5 billion last year ago. Accordingly cost of goods sold also increased from Rs 4.1 billion to Rs 5.7 billion against it period.

COMPETITORS
Honda is currently facing the three biggest competitors in its class. They compete with Honda because of their successful product in the market before the commencement of Honda Atlas in Pakistan. These three main competitors are

TOYOTA NISSAN SUZUKI

Toyota is considered to be the main competitor of Honda because it is only one company, which has enough market shares that will directly influence the share of Honda. This is because of the fact that Toyota has been manufacturing cars much before Honda in Pakistan and the cars they have been manufacturing since 1993 are much environmental friendly than any other car manufactured in Pakistan, before. Firstly Toyota introduced GLi in both transmission categories i.e. manual and automatic. This category car having 1600 horse power is the direct competitor of Honda Civic not only in the technique but also in luxury that they provide and the other facilities and add-ons. In 1.3 liter cars Toyota can be considered as the market leader before, as it is producing three different models in this category i.e. GL, XE and XEG. But now with the
2

HONDA THE POWER OF DREAMS introduction of new Honda City 2000, Toyota is no longer a leader in the market because of the Luxury and style provided by the Honda City 2000. Nissan is not a direct competitor of Honda because this company produces 1.4 liter and 2.0 liter fuel & Diesel cars respectively. But because of the big giants like Toyota and Honda in the market this company cannot compete in the market and loses its share. But now few months back they launched their new models in the market at low prices as compared to Honda and Toyota. Suzuki introduced its 1.6-liter car a few years back with the name of Baleno. They introduced two models GLi and GXi in the market having fuel injection system in the category of 1.3 liter in competition with Honda City. But Honda has no fear of them because of the fact that, Honda is already the market leader in 1.6-liter class & 1.3 liter class. According to the recent survey the graph of Baleno 1.6 & 1.3 is continuously declining because of their competitors like Toyota and Honda.

SWOT ANALYSIS
The overall evaluation of companys strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats is called SWOT analysis. The first two factors i.e. strengths and weaknesses relate to companys internal operations, whereas the other two factors Opportunities and threats relate to companys external environment.

STRENGTHS:
These are the companys strong points, which help the company in achieving a respectable place in the market. Honda is a multinational company, which adds to its strengths. It is a market leader in petrol car industry. It is an environment friendly car. Has efficient fuel consumption. There is no power distance in the company. It is a sort of status symbol in Pakistan.

Weaknesses:
These are the internal factors, which go against a companys favor in achieving its target. Honda doesnt produce diesel cars. It only manufactures for upper middle class only, whereas it should also produce for cars for middle class. Compared to its competitors Honda has a less resale value.

HONDA THE POWER OF DREAMS

OPPORTUNITIES:
These are the areas of buyer willingness in which a company can perform profitably. In the near future it can also manufacture diesel-consuming cars, as petrol prices are fairly high as compared to diesel. Honda can make its cars available for middle class as well.

THREATS:
These are the challenges posed by unfavorable trends or developments that would lead, in absence of defensive marketing action, to deteriorate in sales or profits. As fuel prices are increasing on regular basis so Honda needs to see this Change and think for producing a car suitable for changing times. Honda is facing a fierce competition from its competitors and it has to keep a constant check on activities of its competitors like Toyota, Nissan etc.
