Porter Analysis for Ericsson
1. Rivalry among existing firms:
The rivalry among existing competitors in the automotive industry is very aggressive. Note that since the arrival of the Chinese participant Huawei, eventhough it still has no presence in the automotive industry, they already have services that will be integrated this year as both telecommunications and internet GPS for cars, these features were already accepted and endorsed by recognized auto manufacturers. All this has made the competition become more intense. Additionally, the company has ventured into Erictel the automotive industry, offering its telecommunication services to prevent theft of cars. On the other hand, there is also a partnership between Apple and Audi, Apple offers a service where the mobile device is connected to the car and can control some functions within the same radio as through mobile applications. It competes directly with the partnership between Ericsson and Volvo where similar mobile connectivity services were implemented in their electric cars, which can be accessed from any personal device, which can not only access information but control some car functions remotely. Last but not least, Ericsson has decided to invest in this industry with its "Auto on- Cloud" service which has earned accolades.
