Proposed business plan and rationale

In automobile sector, Australia is experiencing prosperous growth due to economic development of country and effective socio-cultural effect. Australia being highly-populated country has to face immense challenges in maintaining a systematic transportation (Bagautdinova et al., 2012). Especially, while shipping online materials the sales executives have to face immense challenges in delivering the services within stipulated time due to business transport.

In order to overcome this issue it is decided to bring air vehicles in the market. AIRO Micro19 will be launched which will be able to fly up 600 miles at the highest speed of 300mph.

Statement of mission:

“Grabbing international fame in automobile industry and enhancing brand identity in the mind of global customers”

Delivering materials within stipulated time to the proper destination is the primary aim and objective of this brand AIRO Micro19. The business experts will primarily focus on giving priority to the people of different cultural backgrounds and attitudes. Customer service providers will be flexible in maintaining multi-lingual communication to entertain the people from different racial backgrounds.  

External environmental analysis believes that the business experts will have to analyze the political, economic, socio-cultural, environmental and socio-cultural factors of Australia so that they can find out whether these environmental factors are effective for launching air vehicles or not. Australia as per political set up is stable and the government maintains transparency in taxation policies (Chari et al., 2014). The country being economically strong would not have to face challenges in grabbing the attention of target customers. As per socio-cultural backgrounds, large number of people from different geographical backgrounds and attitudes belong to this country. In this kind of situation, AIRO Micro19 would have to render diversification in their products and services so that people from various geographical and religious backgrounds can get their scope of purchasing it. As the country is technologically well advanced the business experts would not have to face any market threats while launching air vehicles (de Luca, 2014).  Air vehicles can protect the environmental acts and regulations as well because the products will be very much eco-friendly. In order to launch the entire business process the business experts would like to follow environmental acts, anti-discrimination acts, employability acts and so on.

AIRO Micro19 will set their target market as per geographic demographic and psychographic ways. Geographic market segmentation targets the people belonging to recognizable cities of Australia (Tej Adidam et al., 2012). Cities like Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Sydney are the most popular cities where people can afford air vehicles. Demographic market segmentation believes that people belonging to premium cost backgrounds are the primary target customers (Hogg, 2012). Customers belonging to 25 to 45 age groups are the primary target people who can focus on purchasing air vehicles. Psychographic market segmentation believes that the business experts will be comfortable in dealing with the customers of various geographical backgrounds and attitudes.

Stakeholder analysis is one of the most significant factors of identifying the needs and demands of the stakeholders, be it internal or external (Jones et al., 2014).  In order to analyzing and fulfil the needs of stakeholders the business experts would have to follow several steps, which are as follows:

• Identify the stakeholders as per geographic demographic and psychographic segments
• Prioritize the stakeholders as per their compatibility level
• Understand the key demands and trends of market as well as stakeholders
• Evaluate the plans on how to fulfil the needs and demands of stakeholders
• Implement and analyze the plans in accordingly so that stakeholders do not get the scope to show their dissatisfaction

Mission and vision statement

In order to make an effective marketing plan the business experts have decided to select social media platform (Solomon et al., 2014). Social media marketing is one of the most significant ways of grabbing the attention of international customers (Mullins, Walker & Boyd, 2012). Using social media channels like Facebook, Instagram, Youtube the business experts can gain immense popularity from global customers. The target audience can get the scope of showing their opinion regarding the business plan.
