Frost & Sullivan: Rapidly Changing Dynamics of Automotive Aftermarket Forces Participants to Focus on Competitive Strategies
NEW YORK, Jan. 26 -- The automotive aftermarket is changing
drastically. No longer is it being driven by a passion for cars; the
aftermarket of today is controlled by consumer preferences, confidence levels
and financial abilities. Knowing what customers want, and when they want it,
is imperative.
To provide senior level executives with new tools, techniques, ideas and
strategies necessary to successfully address the major challenges and
opportunities facing the automotive aftermarket industry, Frost & Sullivan
(http://www.frost.com/conferences) will assemble the country's leading industry
experts at The 25th Annual Automotive Aftermarket Conference: Strategies for
Success in a Competitive Market, July 20-22, 1998. This conference will
provide a wealth of information to help improve your company's market position
and bottom line for years to come.
Frost & Sullivan's automotive aftermarket conference will consist of three
days of intense learning and discussion through both informal and roundtable
discussions with industry leaders and colleagues.
Industry leaders in automotive parts manufacturing, automotive retailers,
wholesalers and distributors, retail chains, trade press publishers,
competitive intelligence professionals, management consultants and new
entrepreneurs are only a few of the categories of participating companies.
Previous Frost & Sullivan conference participants have been drawn from Ford,
Toyota, Samsung, Bosch, Honda, Mitsubishi, GM, BMW, Sears and Pep Boys.
The conference will be preceded by an intense, full-day business
management workshop on "Designing and Building a Business Intelligence and
Competitive Benchmarking System in the Automotive Aftermarket Industry,"
July 20, 1998. Led by David Frigstad, chairman of Frost & Sullivan, this
tutorial is the key to survival in today's automotive aftermarket. Frost
& Sullivan's tutorial is designed to teach the practical step-by-step
guidelines required to build and operate a business intelligence and
competitive benchmarking system and to provide actual case histories of
companies that have used intelligence to gain a competitive advantage.
Both the conference and the tutorial will be held at the Intercontinental
Hotel in Chicago, Illinois. Subroto Banerjee, director of transportation
research at Frost & Sullivan, will chair the conference. As a bonus, all
conference attendees will receive Frost & Sullivan's best-selling training
manual, "Industrial Market Engineering," a practical guide on how to improve
your company's market position in the automotive aftermarket industry by
utilizing a measurement-based marketing and sales system to address
challenges, drive strategy and monitor results toward your strategic goals.
In an era when competitive strategies are of utmost importance, Frost
& Sullivan's 25th Annual Automotive Aftermarket Conference provides an
excellent opportunity for executives concerned with improving profitability to
discover crucial methods to ensure your company comes out a winner. If you are
a CEO, president, vice president, director, or manager who is responsible for
improving your company's market position in the automotive aftermarket, then
you should not miss this conference.
