Goodyear Case

Goodyear case In 1992, Goodyear Tire & Rubber decided to review the Sears proposal to sell Goodyear Eagle tires. Goodyear is considering this proposal. Because Sears exchanges much of Goodyear's worn tire every year. Customers at Sears wanted to replace their tires with Sears' best tires and the Goodyear tires were not on sale so the tires were not replaced with Goodyear tires. The company's main choice for this decision is to sell Eagle brand tires only, or all Goodyear tire brands.

In the case of Goodyear, he invented vulcanized rubber or non-molten rubber by adding sulfur to the natural latex of the rubber factory. He ruined his family and almost died as a result of being exposed to chemicals for years at a small house in New York, but Goodyear's epoch-making invention has become the mainstay of the industrial revolution. Several years later, the improved rubber is not only important for tires, but there are also many gaskets and seals that will otherwise blend into the gears and pipes of plants and power plants.

The Sears proposal proposes some strategic considerations to Goodyear. First, as a matter of distribution policy, Goodyear has not sold Goodyear tire brands through large products since the 1920s when Tire sold through Sears. Deciding to resold the Goodyear brand passenger car tire through Sears represents a major change in distribution policy and may cause conflicts between franchisees. Next, if Sears's proposal is approved, several product policy issues will arise. In particular, does the contract with Sears include (1) Only Goodyear Eagle or (2) All Goodyear brands included? Sears will provide a great opportunity for Goodyear for many reasons. Sears is a large nationwide retailer with 850 automotive centers, with 2 million replacement tires sold each year. It gives Goodyear the opportunity to prevent 2% market share decline in the past 4 years. 0 GOODYEAR Tire And Rubber Company
