The company was purchased by Techniques d'Avant Garde in 1985, when the Heuer brand became TAGHeuer. In 1999, TAG Group sold TAG Heuer to French luxury goods conglomerate LVMH. TAG Heuer is based in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland and is led by President and CEO Jean-Claude Biver. Jack Heuer,the great grandson of the founder, is the Honorary Chairman. TAGHeuer maintains a watchmaking workshop in Cornol, Switzerland and a watchmaking factory in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. The TAG Heuer slogan is "Swiss Avant-Garde Since 1860".

It makes its own rules, chooses its own path, never quits moving forward, never compromises, never cracks under pressure.

- 10. 10 Literature Review 1. What is SWOT? Why SWOT analysis is important, and How it affects strategic decision making. A SWOT analysis is an integral part of a company's strategic planning process because it provides a good all-around view of the company's current and forward-looking situation. The strengths (S) and weaknesses (W) sections provide a look at the company's current position. The opportunities (O) and threats (T) sections help the company project possibilities and challenges going forward. Each of these four sections has specific advantages to the overall analysis. Strengths The strengths section allows the company to consider its competitive advantages in the marketplace. These advantages are typically a focal point of the company's operation and strategic planning. They also often coincide with the way the company markets. Weaknesses Generally, companies have two approaches to dealing with weaknesses. They can either seek to improve them if those weaknesses restrict the company from implementing its strategies to achieve objectives. Or, they realize that their weaknesses are simply a part of the overall business approach and company leaders try to downplay those weaknesses in marketing their brand. Opportunities The opportunities section is critical to development of company strategies as it helps the company identify ways to improve and grow. Constantly reviewing market opportunities helps companies take advantage of emerging markets or changes in the marketplace that the company has strengths to match Threats Again, analyzing threats to your business is not a fun part of a SWOT analysis, but it helps the company insulate itself as well as possible from external threats. By assessing these risks and

What is BCG Matrix? “A company should have a portfolio of products with different growth rates and different market shares. The portfolio composition is a function of the balance between cash flows.… Margins and cash generated are a function of market share.” —Bruce Henderson, “The Product Portfolio,” 1970 Within the diagram, "stars" go in the upper-left quadrant, and "question marks" are put in the upper-right square. At the bottom, "cash cows" go on the left, and "dogs" are placed on the right. The diagram visually shows that stars have high market share and a high growth rate, while question marks have low market share and a high growth rate. On the bottom, cash cows have a low growth rate but a high market share, and dogs have a low market share and a low growth rate.
- 12. 12 Cash cow- It is a product with high market share in a low or no growth industry. This product is preferred by consumers, as shown by its high market share, and not very interesting to new entrants due to the flat sales in the industry. Dog- It is a product with low market share in a flat industry. With the lack of growth in the industry, the only way to improve sales is to entice customers away from other competitors, and due to its non-preferred status, that will likely only occur with heavy marketing and price discounting. Question- It is a product with low market share in a growing industry. This product needs to be carefully evaluated to determine if the marketing needed to entice consumers to purchase it will result in profits. Star- It is a product with high market share in a growing industry. This product has a high potential to make money in the near future due to its preferred position and the upcoming growth in sales as the industry expands. 3. Explain Porter’s competitive five forces model. Analysis your chosen company’s competitive environment. The Porter's Five Forces tool is a simple but powerful tool for understanding where power lies in a business situation. This is useful, because it helps you understand both the strength of your current competitive position, and the strength of a position you're considering moving into. Five Forces Analysis assumes that there are five important forces that determine competitive power in a business situation. These are: 1. Supplier Power: Here you assess how easy it is for suppliers to drive up prices. This is driven by the number of suppliers of each key input, the uniqueness of their product or service, their strength and control over you, the cost of switching from one to another, and so on. 2. Buyer Power: Here you ask yourself how easy it is for buyers to drive prices down. Again, this is driven by the number of buyers, the importance of each individual buyer to your business, the cost to them of switching from your products and services to those of someone else, and so on. 3. Competitive Rivalry: If you have many competitors, and they offer equally attractive products and services, then you'll most likely have little power in the situation, because suppliers and buyers will go elsewhere if they don't get a good deal from you. 4. Threat of Substitution: This is affected by the ability of your customers to find a different way of doing what you do. 5. Threat of New Entry: Power is also affected by the ability of people to enter your market. If it costs little in time or money to enter your market and compete effectively, if there are few
- 13. 13 economies of scale in place, or if you have little protection for your key technologies, then new competitors can quickly enter your market and weaken your position. In every business there are competitors; monopoly market is rare cause with now day’s people always come out with some twist with the old concept. Same as our company ‘TAG Heuer’ they have their competitors which are Rolex Patek philippe Omega IWC Schaffhausen 4. What is Organizational Structure? Organizations are set up in specific ways to accomplishdifferent goals, and the structure of an organizationcan help or hinder its progress toward accomplishingthese goals. Organizations large and small can achieve higher sales and other profit byproperlymatching their needs with the structure theyuse to operate. There are three main types of organizational structure: functional, divisional and matrix structure Functional Structure: Functional structureis set upso that each portionof the organization is grouped accordingto its purpose.
- 14. 14 Divisional Structure: Divisional structure typicallyis usedin larger companies that operate in a wide geographic areaor that have separate smaller organizations within the umbrella group to cover different types of products or market areas. Matrix: The thirdmain type of organizational structure, calledthe matrixstructure, is a hybrid of divisional and functional structure. Typicallyused in large multinational companies, the matrix structure allows for the benefits of functional and divisional structures to exist in one organization.

Customer service Weakness Brand portfolio Cost structure High loan rates are possible Productivity Heavy brand clutter in the sports and entertainment areas in not just watches but across the Lifestyle and retail sector reduces the differentiating factor Competition from luxury brands means limited market share growth
- 16. 16 Threats Government regulations Increasing rates of interest Rising cost of raw materials Tax changes Technological problems Price changes Substitute product Mature market Threat from cheap and fake imitations Indian consumers display the double aspect of a strong luxury culture and a strong sensitivity to prices. Opportunity Fragment market New technology Innovation growing economy High growth in the luxury watches segment in emerging economies High-End watches are the first luxury pieces that a consumer buys giving a window of opportunity for the brand to establish itself as the first luxury piece aspired by a consumer
- 17. 17 BCG Matrix of Tag Heuer Cash cow: Carrera Calibre 1887 is cash cow product of TAG Heuer because its growth rate is slow, but its market share is high.

- 18. 18 Porters five competitive forces model of Tag Heuer Threats for New Entrants: New entrants threat is always there for a business but in Tag heuer business its threat is minimum because any new business can entry in this market but the quality and the famously of TAG Heuer is high enough to get better response. Also in time new entrant get to the position of TAG Heuer they would innovate more to attract their consumer. Threat of Substitutes Products: TAG Heuer is mainly famous for their wrist-watch. So substitute for their product is very limited like pocket-watch, mobile etc. So it is not that much of a worry for TAG Heuer cause as much trend change wrist-watch is always have their appearance in all type of people. Bargaining Power of Buyers: As TAG Heuer main business is wrist-watch but they also have other product, so in that case the bargaining power of the buyer is low to moderate at best. Bargaining power of supplier: As TAG Heuer have different product. Some countries such as China, USA, Italy, Argentina etc control a large segment of supply. So for raw material of their different product they need to get from other export countries. Such countries can manipulate the price of the raw materials. Current rivalry: There is much intense competitor in this business. Many famous brands are already there to give them a tough competition. As come from the CEO himself of TAG Heuer, his said Apple watch is a great threat for them. TAG Heuer Marketing Strategy Business level strategy: TAG Heuer uses all the latest technology not only for manufactory but also to reach their customer. Which cover their cost leadership and differentiation strategy which helps them to stay put with their other competitor. TSG Heuer mainly targeted for sports player and glamorous people so they also have their focused consumer.
- 19. 19 Corporate Level Strategy: TAG Heuer used unrelated diversification strategy in their business, as their main business is manufacturing wrist-watch they also have other item such as Eyewear,Leather goods, Electronics & Accessories which not related to each other. In an interview CEO of TAG Heuer said ‘Contrary to other Swiss Watch brands, TAG Heuer has never been very much dependent on the Chinese market. That’s the reason why the Chinese slowdown has not had any important impact on our sales’. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE IN TAG HEUER TAG Heuer organizing structure is maintained very properly. They have the entire department divided according to their work. All are specialized in their work. By decentralization their work is resolve. TAG Heuer has paid numerous notable celebrities to endorse its products, including: Ayrton Senna, Kevin Richardson, Cristiano Ronaldo, Jessica Michibata, Tiger Woods, Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Chen Daoming, G.E.M. Tang, Jeff Gordon, Maria Sharapova, Jeremy Lin, Juan Pablo Montoya, Kimi Räikkönen, Uma Thurman, Fernando Alonso, Lewis Hamilton, Therese Johaug, Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra,Cameron Diaz, Steve McQueen and Walter White.

We will try to attract even more than before the young generation and young customers.’ by this he already let everyone know that they are planning on young tend which is their new stratergy. The upscale watch market in Hong Kong is in a growth period, so now is an ideal time for establishing a clear positioning. After successfully establish a clear positioning, TAG Heuer will enter the China market. Upon successfully building the Hong Kong market and entering the China market, TAG Heuer will realize its initial investment and allocation of resources to the maximum potential.
