What Is FedEx’s Business Model?

over 4 million packages per day, FedEx guarantees speed with
a reliability of greater than 99%.

Change Change happens, but managing change to your advantage is another matter.
"A capacity to change is indispensable. Equally indispensable is the capacity
to hold fast to that which is good," noted cold warrior John Foster Dulles.
Since it began operations in 1973, Memphis, Tenn.-based FedEx has shown
an ability to change without losing touch with its essential mission. External
conditions such as technology and competition have shifted enormously
during that 28-year period, yet FedEx has been able to accommodate them
all, introducing new services and systems alike without the wild fluctuations
in growth, profitability, efficiency or employee morale that have afflicted
most companies.
The most significant recent change at FedEx was a massive
reorganization announced Jan. 19, 2000.
The company consolidated four of its five operating subsidiaries
under the FedEx brand name and moved most of its IT, sales
and marketing staff into a new company, FedEx Corporate.
At the same time, FedEx realigned the relationships of these
companies to one another, aiming to provide customers with a
single point of access to sales, customer service, billing and
automation systems.

the market share growth is limited
Less competitive ground shipping
Opportunities
To use cooperative strategies
Challenging competitors through
mergers and acquisitions
Local competitors with poor
service & products
Acquire smaller companies to
increase market share
Threats
Rising fuel prices could
impact company’s profit
Varying market demand
Vulnerable to increasing
reach by major competitors.
RISK TAKING In the 1970’s FedEx was loosing one million per month because of fuel costs. Fedrick.
Wallace Smith gambled the company’s last $5000 on a game of black jack and literally
against all odds he won.
Smith stashed his winnings $32,000 in the company’s bank account which bought the
company some time to recover form the debt. Over the next few days he secured 11 million
in investment capital.
Some have the view that he did nothing groundbreaking and he just got lucky. But in
another sense, luck plays a role in the beginning of so many companies. That luck could be
getting new investors (which Smith also did) or hiring someone who turns out to be a rising
star.
In that sense every business owner takes a gamble at one point or the other.
