Executive Summary To: Dr. Richard F. Lawkowski Subject: Customers and Competitors Team Name: Power House Section: 01 Members: Bianca Kratky, Suzy Lombardi, Lawrence Shulman Written By: Charles Pan All four companies share something in company and that is they aim to serve people. Ford Motor Company produces vehicles for the individuals. Cisco provides internet and routers for businesses, and the people. BPC provides multiple services such as gardening or excavation for the people as well as businesses. Xerox provides printers or photocopiers for businesses and people. However, Ford and Xerox both provide material goods for anyone to purchase while Cisco and BPC provide services that require maintenance. As for the direct competitors, only Xerox and Cisco share the same competitors, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, and more because they're both in the technology field and some companies go into multiple fields of technology. On the other hand, Ford's competitors are other car brands and BPC's competitors are commercial manufacturing and agricultural equipment producers. For indirect competitors, although Xerox and Cisco both are from the technology field they do not share indirect competitors. Cisco deals with networking and internet connection while Xerox deals with printing and photocopying, if anything they benefit each other. Ford and BPC both share the indirect competitor of weather because constant bad weather may impact car sales as well as the agricultural fields. Ford Motor Company, BPC, and Cisco are all oligopoly market structures in which there are few companies competing in the field. Xerox, on the other hand, is a monopolistic competition because it dominates most of it's market regardless of the few competitors it has. Xerox and Cisco both have very similar slogans in that their slogan is very literal. Xerox's slogan is The Document Company because it handles a lot of printing and copying, and
Cisco's slogan is Welcome to the human network because it deals with connecting people to each other internet-wise. Ford and BPC both have slogans that involve some sort of movement. Ford's slogan is Go Further while BPC's slogan is Nothing runs like a Deere.
