2 DRINKNDRIVE INTRODUCTION Drink driving is a huge problem. It not only affects society in New Zealand but all over the world too. It results in accidents, fatalities, injuries, emotional scaring and it uses societys limited resourecs. It is caused from excessive drinking, peer pressure to drive or lack of alternatives. However this needs to stop. The invention of DRINKNDRIVE devices that will get installed in cars so the cars wont start if a person is intoxicated will benefit society as there will be no risk of any lives being endangered from someone else making a stupid decision and driving while intoxicated. 3. BUSINESS SECTION 3.1 Vision To stop drink driving altogether so no deaths or injuries will be caused from drinking and driving. This will evidently help save the worlds limited resources that would have been used to treat the patients. 3.2 Industry Analysis: Alcohol Testing Industry: Force: High/Low: Justification: Buyer power: Low The buyer power is low at this moment in time because there is no other options available on the market. The device will be made compulsary for all vehicles making it a neccessity. From a buyers point of view they would want the buyer power to be high as that gives the buyer more options and choices. (Course book)

3 Supplier power: Low The supplier power is low in this scenario as there are a lot of suppliers to choose from to purchase our raw materials from. This is a good thing as you do not want your suppliers to be powerful as they can dictate you and have more control over the business to benefit themselves if they are the only suppliers or there are limited choices. (Course Book,2014) There are even smiliar devices on the market today that allow you to be able to test your own breath before you drive. However we are creating the device to be able to sync up with the car giving DRINKNDRIVE a competetive advantage over companies like Shenzhen Oway Technology Co LTD and Haida Equipment Co are just a few examples. (alibaba ,2014) Threat of new entrants: High As there are already simiar devices on the market today with the same function, they shoud be able to adapt to meet the changes in the market by incorporating that their device can be installed in cars too. If this was to occur it would make our companies market share smaller. Therefore threat of entrance is high as it is easy for competitors to enter the market. We can try to reduce this by increasing entry barriers so it makes it harder for competitives to enter the market. (Coursebook,2014

4 Threat of substitutes: Low Threat of substitute of low because there are no alternatives to this problem. This device being installed in cars is going to become compulsary. (Coursebook,2014) Rivalry among existing competitors: High There is four ways to measure the amount of alcohol in someones system. They are a urine test, a blood test, a breathalyzer and by measuring the percentage of body mass against them. However rivalry would be high for the different companies producing the same product. For example 3 companies could be producing different models of breathalzers. Therefore rivalry is high amoung competitors making it fierce in the market and have the companies fight to get the biggest market share. (sharecare, 2012) Overall attractiveness of the industry: Depending on how you look at this industry. We could argue that we are the only ones in the industry making the industry very attractive as buyer power, supplier power, threat of new entrant, threat of substitute and rivalry amoung competitors would all be low. However there are similar devices that are available in the market today but do not have the function of being installed the car. However the market needs to be adaptable to change for consumer demands making the industry less attractive. 3.3 Customers and Thei r Needs DRINKNDRIVEs customers will be mainly to manufacturers of cars. However NewZealand does not make their own cars as it cost cheaper to import the cars from overseas from car manufactures from Germany, Australia, Japan and all over the world. For example companies like Holden, Audi and BMW. However the goal is to implement this device in all
5
5 cars around the world, so it has a huge impact on the world. This will reduce the amount of road deaths and fatalities per year making the roads a safer place for people to drive. A legislation that a car cannot pass their warrant of fitness (WOF) without the device will help ensure everyone has this device installed. The device will also be available on the market for customers with older versions of the cars so they are able to get the device installed. The target market will be consumers who drive and use cars. 3.4 The Product and Service Introducing the compulsary device into the market will help ensure that no person will be able to drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol again. Everyone will be satisfied as there will be no DUIs, accidents, fatalities, emotional scaring from the fatalities family or from people involved and the resources used to treat the patients are able to get used for other emergencies. It will make consumers think ahead to make alternative options. It will not just decrease it, it will stop it. 3.5 Suppliers and Partners One supplier is the company lion laboratories limited,uk. This company would be ideal to be supplied from because they are so passionate about eliminating the problem and drink driving as well. We are one of the worlds leading manufacturers of breath alcohol testing equipment. We make and supply mobile (in-car), static and handheld instruments and associated accessories for use by the police. Expert advice on alcohol related issues, training and approved service facilities will ensure your alcohol policy works effectively for you. (lionlaboratories, 2014) This supplier cares about quality and the wellbeing of the consumers. The most common cars used by New Zealanders are Toyotas, Subaru, Ford, Holden, Mitsubishi and Nissan. DRINKNDRIVE would approach these suppliers and make sure they have prioritized if I was considering the New Zealand market however I would also partner up with other car manufactures like Suzuki and Honda because DRINKNDRIVE will want to outsource the device so it is available all around the world. 3.6 Strategy:
6
6 The market is very broad as it will reach out worldwide. It will come into the market with a cost strategy of differentiation which is a high cost but aiming towards a broad market. However it could even enter with cost leadership aimed towards a broad market but at a low cost to make it affordable for everyone if the governments are going to help fund or subsidy this movement. (Course Book) Therefore the overall strategy DRINKNDRIVE would enter the market would be cost leadership because then it will make it less likely to go onto the black market if the differention strategy was used instead. 3.7 Value Chain Activity: The primary value activities that would be most important for the device to add value to it would be the manufacturing or making of the product. (Course Book) This is where the assembling of the whole device takes place and is very important because this stage needs to be perfect in order to be able to deliver and satisfy the customers or the next secondary sector of the process. However the support value activity Procurement is also a crucial part of the process as quality needs to ammaculate in order for the operation to be a success. 3.8 Business Processes

11 CONCLUSION Over all producing the device will entail the many systems in order to go from raw materials to the finished product that customers or manufactures are satisfied with as well as using IT to communicate with customers and manufacturers about orders, deliveries and timing. The value added and now created to make the device will stop this drink driving problem forever. REFERENCES
