Management Consulting Africa:
The AAA Business Alliance partners analyzed the transportation market and business environment of the four largest target markets in Africa and developed a detailed micro- and macroeconomic understanding, addressing the following issues:
- market potential
- product and customer structure
- local Content
- official guidelines e.g. NOx and CO2 emission requirements
- possible distribution partners
- market entry specifications
- contacts with governments and investors
3 phases of expansion:
The Advisors used a 3-phase model for organizing the project.
In the first phase, they analyzed the four most promising countries.
During the second phase, the Senior Advisors planned a visit to those four markets accompanied by the client. This included travel and network planning by AAA Advisors, that is selecting dialogue partners among relevant government officials, potential investors, business partners and distributorsas well as setting meeting agendas. Subsequently, the results from Phase 1 of the Business Development Automotive Plan were verified.
In the third and final phase 3, AAA Advisors worked with the client to ensure a smooth launch. This was achieved via contracts and agreements negotiations with a wide range of stakeholders, political support for the project, and regular exchanges and networking with the responsible parties.
Outcome:
The micro- and macroeconomic data records, as well as know-how gained from decades of experience in the global automotive sector, enabled AAA-Advisors to provide excellent support for the client during their expansion into Africa. AAA Advisors' global network made it possible to bring together political and economic decision makers with the client’s management.
