The purpose of this case study analysis is to develop students’ skills in both theory and application as it
applies to the learning outcomes of GB500, Business Perspectives. This will enable students to apply business perspective theories and concepts relating to a ‘real world’ business scenario. Through this
case study, students will be researching and deliberating on a macro-environmental factor that has impacted severely on an Australian company, Holden.
Scenario:
“Australians love their cars. And for much of the past six decades the cars they’ve loved most have been home-grown. In that time, Australia has been one of a select group of countries with the capacity to
design, engineer and build its own cars. For 60 years that capacity has been a cornerstone of the
country’s industrial capacity. Now all that is about to change.
When the new Coalition Government made it clear it wasn’t prepared to spend more money assisting the
car industry, the big manufacturers Holden and Toyota said goodbye”
