Should volkswagen continue to focus its engineering efforts


Problem: In your new role a Director General of Volkswagen, you have been tasked by the board with producing a ten-year strategic plan to position Volkswagen as one of the top three international auto makers. Volkswagen, like several other automakers, has focused much of its recent efforts toward the development of fully electric vehicles. This strategy has shown some promise with increasing adoption rates in the European market. Toyota, a major competitor, has instead focused on hybrid ICE/Electric technology that may prove better for the important US market, where vehicle "range" is much more important. Should Volkswagen continue to focus its engineering efforts currently directed at fully electric vehicles? Or should it divert resources to the concurrent development of hybrid technology? Produce a SWOT analysis to guide your response. Also, speak to the relative merits of a focused versus a diversified strategy.
