Abstract

Car industries are growing in size in recent years, more new entrants are entering this market seeking for profit. However, only a few firms succeed. This paper, we determine the reasons for the success of the two companies--General Motors Corporation (GM) and Geely Auto. We firstly analysed the business models for two firms, according to the business model, we firstly applied Peter Thiel’s seven questions to comprise the differences in product innovation between the two firms. Then we compared consumer preference, infrastructure, and government regulations between China and the US, which is also based on the two firms’ business models. The main reason for their success was they both targeted the right consumers and they follows government’ favorable policies. This work could provide new entrants in the car market with some ideas about how to success in the car market and offer them an insight of two sample business models developed by GM and Geely.
