Rank the 5C’s elements and Porter’s Five Forces in order of influence
on VW
5C’s
Customers
Customers are the most important aspect in a company such as Volkswagen, as if they do not have
anyone to sell their products, they will not be able to create revenue, and this will affect their
production and payments, as they won’t have any money to produce more cars and to pay to their
suppliers. Also, without customers they wouldn’t be able to pay their employees and make any profits
for theirself. Basically, the company wouldn’t be able to be successful without customers. These also

the company. These provide resources to the company such as prime material, and some components
needed to create the car among others. The development in the suppliers environment have a
substantial impact on the marketing operations of the company as it can lower their supply costs and
increase product quality to gain competitive advantage in the market.
Company
The company by itself has a name, and if this name is publically damaged will make the company fall
in a long term, as people will want always to see that they’re driving not the safest but the best car in
the industry. They are representing to other people the company by buying and driving their cars, and
