    Audi today is considered as one of the best car makers of all times. Audi was found on 14 November 1899, when a man known as August Horch established the company A. Horch & Cie. in Ehrenfeld district of Cologne, Germany.” In the beginning of 1901 Horch invented his first car in Germany, which had a max speed of 32 km/h”. (Wiki) In 1909, Horch established yet another company, Horch Automobile-Werke GmbH, in Zwickau, Germany. Unfortunately Horch lost the legal dispute over the company name, but he came up with a clever solution to the problem. He used “the Latin translation of his name, Audi”. The new company name, Audiwerke Gmbh, became effective on 25 April 1910 and has been one of the leading luxury car companies around the country. (Wiki) Since then Audi has been leading in both the Racing world and in consumer cars. Fast forward to today, “Audi r8 was introduced in Germany in 2006” (Wiki) and was based on a sister car the Lamborghini Gallardo which is also owned by Audi Gmbh.…

    any product has four stages of life cycle: introduction, growth, maturity, and decline. However, this concept does not quite fit with BMW's products. Jim McDowell, vice president of marketing at BMW says " If a product is declining, we would prefer to withdraw it from the market, as opposed to having a strategy for dealing with the declining product," In other words, Maturity and Decline stages do not usually exist in BMW's product life cycle. Before a product reaching the Maturity stage that characterized by decreasing sales rate and declining profit, BMW pulls it out from the market. BMW cars typically have product life cycle of seven years. As we see in Figure 11-1 any product has bell-shape curve of duration of life cycle, but BMW cars has half shape life cycle, including introduction and growth stages. Thus, the best sales number is often achieved in sixth or seventh year after product introduction.…
