The new boss of the Italian luxury sports car manufacturer ‘Ferrari’, Louis Camilleri, insisted for doubling the profit of the Company and brought in a New plan describing it as ‘ambitious but doable’. He said that the Company’s future could only be secured if the profitability is doubled by 2022 i.e., from €1 billion to €2 billion. Also, there should be an increase in margin from 30% to 38%.
The proposal involved getting the product portfolio fragmented into four distinguishing parts and thus bringing variety to the product market and thus attracting more and more customers.
