Dealer Competitive Strategy: State of the Art
Dick Stewart
Location: Bellagio Ballroom Section 2
Dealers are increasingly challenged by OEM and customer expectations. At the same time, strategic options to those two market drivers have narrowed. Through a partnership between AED and the University of Denver, research was recently completed that examined those dynamics. The research identifies specific components of the market drivers causing dealers to adapt their strategies and business models, the prevalence of adaptations being made, and the financial performance of those adaptations. This research, combined with AED's Annual Cost of Doing Business Report, provides significant insights relevant to your 2019 planning.
