Innovating TESLA
We are living in a technological world which is full of innovative ideas and brilliant minds behind those ideas. We have seen a lot of innovations in every field and many companies were designed and are running successful with the variations in the technology and their strategies to attract customers.
Tesla is one of the innovative company and the man behind the idea is Elon Musk. The competitive advantage and the utilization of resources and capabilities are defined for the TESLA BY using four parameters which are known as VRIO(Valuable, Rare, Imitable and Organised)
VALUES
Innovation is the
complement for TESLA. Tesla was founded on the ideal of innovation and success.
Musk wanted to prove that
people didn’t need to compromise to drive electric & electric vehicles can
be better, quicker and more fun to drive than gasoline cars.
Musk and his organisation
believe to change the future of electric vehicles and working towards the goal
of total sustainable energy around the globe.
Tesla invests 14% of
their revenues, in research development which is unparalleled compared to their
competitors (Ford and GM), with 4.6% of their revenues being put toward
research and development.
Innovation is Tesla’s
strong suit, culture, and their mission.
RARITIES
Tesla combines both the
sustainability and the high-performance luxury which gave the edge over to its
competitors and introduced a new market segment of sustainable luxury cars in
the form of MODEL S, ROADSTER and its crossover SUV MODEL X.
The technology, the
innovative ideas and the designs of the cars are rare in the automobile
industry.
Recently Tesla models
have been equipped with a new feature “Driver less Smart Summon.” Yet it is
still in its early stages, but no other companies have made this much progress.
So, we can say, Yes,
Tesla has rare resources.
IMITABLE
I can say both Yes and
No. With enough money and time, any company can catch up to the manufacturing
and technical aptitudes that Tesla has reached. But it comes with a heavy price
tag, so no, it is not easily imitable.
The headquarter of TESLA
which is situated in Silicon Valley is very hard to imitate.
The mission of TESLA is
focused on saving the world versus creating penultimate cars, so they have to
produce the quantity of cars which matches the wants of every car owner.
To round this out, Tesla
has committed to and invested in large scale production strategies that are
going to be hard to imitate by other companies as they keep moving forward.
Their tacit knowledge is currently unattainable and inimitable for technology-based
and automotive companies.
ORGANISED
While some of TESLA’s
competitors in Electric vehicles went bankrupt or halted the production, TESLA
is still profitable which says they are well organised company.
The organised structure
that Tesla has, has allowed it to continue growing.
Elon Musk who is the
founder of TESLA is the rare talent under whom the organisation is growing and
making profits year by year.
The company is getting
value by the innovative ideas of the Elon and he is the man behind the other
successful companies like Space X, SolarCity, Starlink, The Boring Company, Hyperloop,
OpenAI.
It is difficult to
imitate the personality of Elon Musk. In 1995 he co- founded a web software company
Zip2 when he was only 25 and which was later acquired by Compaq for $307
million in cash and also 7% share.
Elon Musk is organising 8 companies and the
interesting part is that all the companies are the area of his personal
interest and working in full efficiency with the profits.
