GE Matrix 3.67 2.33 1.00 5.00 3.67 2.33 1.00
GE Matrix • Holland Jacht Bouw and Vitters are both at a point where they have to work on their strengths and minimize their weaknesses. • Amels and Feadship are both growing at a steady pace. Feadships 2 yards are now both fully operational and should be used to their full potential. • Royalhuisman should try to work itself up to the point where it can start a direct fight for one of the foreign market leaders • A&F should build to fight the US. Builders, but wait with challenging the Italians. • Jongert has fallen a bit to the background in recent years but should try to get to build selectively box.
GE Matrix Conclusion • Dutch shipbuilding operations have good representation in the global market but own a relatively small share in it. The industry itself is strong with the potential to gain a higher percentage of market share.
Porter Model (cont’d) • Suppliers ranked 6 • Can have a lot of influence on delivery time and pricing (margins) • Industry ranked 5 • It is not that easy to get kicked out of the industry but there is strong competition • Buyers ranked 8 • The buyers have the power and money to make or brake you • Substitutes ranked 3 • There are not many substitutes if any for a mega yacht • Potential entrants ranked 4 • It is very difficult to suddenly enter this market because of this it can be considered a minor element.
Strategies to take advantage of the competitive environment • The Dutch are not strong enough to wage a full frontal attack but they can start Flanking the Italians by pushing deeper into the S/Y segment. • An option to go heads on with some of the competition is possible by using new tax related price advantages. • It should be possible to bypass some competition by diversifying into the smaller yacht segment (80<Ft) • Eventually this and more will lead to a encirclement attack, but first we need to place our selves correctly as can be seen above.
Consumer Analysis • Status Seeking Individuals are insecure and stressed people. They feel that they have to buy boats or other expensive things to express their wealth or simply to fit in and get attention. They are mainly young males because they still don’t have their own opinion and they don’t feel comfortable in their skin. This is why they want to most eye catching and flashy yachts, just so they can show it off to their friends. They spend big percentages of their incomes and don’t care if it’s too much as long as they portrait a certain image. • The chic sheiks individuals are also mainly to not say all male. They too spend a lot of money on boats, the difference is that for these people it’s not that much of their overall income. For them the size of the boat is very important since it expresses their status. The main person has the biggest the son has a smaller etcetera. It’s all very hierarchical. Since these people are literally drowning in oil money they aren’t exactly planned buyers. They are more likely to wake up one day and simply buy a boat and ask for the biggest one out there, so they are basically impulse buyers.
Consumer Analysis (cont’d) • Overindulgent seniors ( 70% male) are classified age 60 and up, they fall under the category of rationalists because they have an ability to cope with unpredictable and complex situations.

They search for a comfort and relaxation. They strive to be adventurous and take risks to obtain enjoyment. Owning a yacht in this case is there distraction and new objective in life. Their overall segment ranking on a scale of 1 – 10 would have to be a 3. • Midlife crisis millionaires / showoffs ( 95% male ) age 45- 55, fall under the category of Pleasurist because they emphasize sensual, emotional experiences preferring non-hierarchical groups built around self- reliance and regulation. As the name already says that these man are experiencing their midlife crisis. They are desperate man in need of attention, they need something remarkable to make them feel special and important.
