Kamux - Kannattavuusparannusta metsästämässä (Osa 2)

Pursuing volume did not yield results, emphasizing profitability at the expense of volume did not yield results, turning Germany profitable did not yield results but it returned to a loss. Sweden has been at a loss, now with its head above water for a moment until returning to normal, changing the manager to a competent professional did not yield results, changing managers of international operations did not yield results, closing unprofitable dealerships did not yield results, a cooperation agreement with a leasing company did not yield results, updating the car fleet to match demand did not yield results, investing in ancillary services (Extended Warranty, Insurance) did not yield results, introducing ancillary products for sale did not yield results (Tires), investing in remote car sales did not yield results.

Have all possible measures already been tried, what is left, or are there any means left?

Or will we return to the starting point in implementing the measures, and repeat the same actions in the same or a different order, without results?

I think Sweden has been brought to zero by shifting more of the margin from imports to Finland there, it is of course possible to do the same for Germany, and achieve a situation where all countries are slightly in the black, but that does not change the overall picture.
