BE bold.
MINI COUPE may be the purest expression of the MINI mindset. It’s an unapologetically aggressive two-seater with a lower center of gravity that instantly brings out the daredevil in any motorer. Ultrastiff bodywork, torsional reinforcements and incredibly precise steering combine to create a direct connection to the road while the spectacular styling and retractable spoiler leave no one in doubt about this Coupe’s capabilities.

BE legendary.
MINI JOHN COOPER WORKS In the course of a career that revolutionized racing, John Cooper collected 3 Monte Carlo Rally titles and 16 Grand Prix wins. A fitting tribute to a racing legend, the MINI John Cooper Works offers a potent combination of balanced handling and ballistic acceleration. The MINI John Cooper Works is tuned to achieve performance normally reserved for race cars, which, not coincidentally, is exactly what it is.

BE unique.
MAKING YOUR MINI UNIQUELY YOUR OWN is something we call You-ification. Here you can see the exterior color and wheel options available on the MINI Hardtop, Convertible, Clubman, Coupe and Roadster. Accessorize your MINI with a huge variety of customizable options, including roof graphics, bonnet or sport stripes, mirror caps, racing lamps and alloy wheels. Take a moment to catch your breath. All of these features are sure to make striking, sporty and undoubtedly stylish additions.

WHY THE CONTRASTING ROOF? Back in the day when MINI ruled at Monte Carlo, the roof was painted so that even at a distance it could be spotted in a crowd. Of course, being in front always helped too.

Lincoln Square

...Lincoln Square Fieldwork Assignment Walk down to Lincoln Square on a Sunday afternoon, and you will find yourself immersed in a world without problems. At least that is how it looks from the outside, just observing. People walk around with their families, pushing strollers or walking their dogs, conversing with each other and taking the time to talk to people they meet. You see nice cars and beautiful houses, restaurants and patios, library and cinema, the Old Town school of Music, Lillstreet Art Center and the Dank-Haus a museum slash cultural center, in other words it is an enclave where you can find everything you need without having to leave the area. It seems like everybody knows each other either because they live in the same area or because their usual Sunday afternoon or stroll time usually happens here and they got to know each other. When I say Lincoln Square I am referring to the commercial heart of Lincoln Square neighborhood located where Lincoln, Lawrence and Western avenues meet. It is “the heart of the city’s German culture” (Solomon). Community area 4, 7 miles north of the loop serviced by the Brown Line, it is a part of the Greater Lincoln square along with other neighborhoods, namely Ravenswood Manor, Ravenswood Gardens, Ravenswood, Bowmanville and Budlong Woods( Wikipedia). The City of Chicago gave Lincoln square its name in 1925, three decades before a statue of the president was actually put here in 1956. During the 1900 and 1950 Lincoln Square was...

Marketing by Audi

...Globalization diversifies markets for vehicle manufactures where regions like Japan, North America and Western Europe are established big manufactures with over 18 vehicle manufactures across the board. This accounts for almost 90 percent of vehicle produced thus a scramble for available markets, attention now turns to upcoming economies like Russia, Latin America and Eastern Europe, Governments in developing economies aware of the value of their prospective growth auction off their market share to the highest bidders, like BMW, this investors hoping to increase manufacturing capacities so as to build their intended market bid away their economic returns and in so doing multiply the overcapacity problem on a large scale (Griffin & Pustay 2009). Risks involved in venturing into new markets weigh in and most companies aware of the consequences of losing a market place bid, this either plays out in the company over bidding or throwing in the towel and losing the market. Differentiation Successful ECO-Specialties must emphasize their differentiation. Differentiation means that the marketing mix is distinct from and better than what is available from the competitor; product differentiation is the core to a healthy market share. An abundance of option for the vehicle buyers exists with vehicle models with almost similar functional characteristics, BMW is now forced to manufacture unique products for a particular region at a point in time, and this is to cope with tastes and fickle...

Abandoning Innovation in Emerging Industries

...models of industry evolution describe a smooth pattern of emergence over time in which the number of firms in an industry increases, hits a peak, decreases as a result of a shakeout, and then stabilizes as the industry reaches maturity. Although this model has been well-accepted and the basic empirical finding holds true across a range of industries, we propose that the finding is not as robust as is generally assumed. We introduce an alternative pattern of evolution in which, during the emergent stage, an industry experiences a sharp decrease in the number of firms – a “mini shakeout” – before increasing again, reaching a final peak and undergoing a major shakeout as described in the extant literature. Using panel data across multiple product innovations introduced in the 20th century, we first show the pervasiveness of the mini shakeout phenomena. We then examine why some industries are more likely to experience a mini shakeout. Finally, using detailed quantitative and qualitative data on the emergence of handheld computers and digital cameras, we investigate why some firms abandon...

Professor, DSCMIT, Bengaluru Submitted to DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT PROGRAM CMR INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES BENGALURU For NATIONAL LEVEL CONFERENCE on “Disruptive Marketing — The Way Forward?” 27th April, 2012 Disruptive Marketing is Innovative and Boon to the Consumers - A Conceptual Thought Introduction Human beings are a very special creation of God. It is this creature that could think compared to the many other creatures in the world. Man can even think of innovative ideas and also implement the same for his convenient living. The good old saying quotes “Necessity is the mother of invention”, has embedded a detailed meaning in it. If we take the example of the invention of the “WEEL” by the ancient man of the Stone Age man we can really understand how innovative in the thinking of Man. The other invention of human beings is the formation of fire. These are a few examples and the list goes on and on.

...For the exclusive use of C. SULLIVAN Harvard Business School 9-391-095 Rev. April 18, 1995 Cooper Industries’ Corporate Strategy (A) The business of Cooper is value-added manufacturing. – Cooper Industries’ management philosophy Manufacturing may not be glamorous, but we know a lot about it. – Robert Cizik, Chairman, President and CEO Cooper Industries, a company more than 150 years old, spent most of its history as a small but reputable maker of engines and compressors to propel natural gas through pipelines. In the 1960s, the firm’s leaders decided to expand the company to lessen its dependence on the capital expenditures of the cyclical natural gas business. During the next 30 years, the company acquired more than 60 manufacturing companies that dramatically increased the size and scope of Cooper Industries (Exhibits 1 and 2). Through a process that both insiders and outsiders called “Cooperization,” the company welded a group of “independent, over-the-hill companies into a highly efficient, profitable, competitive business.”1 By 1988, the diversified industrial products company derived $4.3 billion in annual revenues from manufacturing 2 million items. Cooper’s products ranged from 10¢ fuses to $3 million turbine compressor sets marketed under an array of brand names, the most famous of which was Crescent wrenches. “We decided a long time ago,” said Robert Cizik, chairman, president, and CEO, “that if we could do an outstanding job at the unglamorous part by making necessary...

Harley

...Harley Davidson (HD): Preparing for the Next Century Q1 How would you characterize HD’s primary challenge(s) as of the end of 2005? Stock prices dropped 17% due to lower forecasts, in spite of positive trending financials. Lower forecasts were due to growing saturation within their target market. Saturation was occurring due to fewer younger buyers replacing aging buyers. Fewer younger buyers was occurring because HD did not have a highly successful plan to win them over, noting pointed attempts with Buell and the V-Rod. Therefore: * their issues are not cyclical, but structural * their issues are not urgent in the sense that creditors will force bankruptcy in the immediate future * however, they must be addressed to maintain long-term strength as an organization * further, this is more of a strategic issue than it is tactical * and, HD may be approaching the upper limits of their current business model Stock analysts were seeing that HD stock was inflated as a strong working solution did not appear to be in place to address these issues. All things being equal, past performance did not appear to be sustainable. Q2 Deconstruct HD’s macro environment (PEST) and industry (Porter’s 5). Economic: Given that HD is a big ticket discretionary consumer luxury product, the strength of the economies in their principle markets is very important. An economic downturn would have a downward pressure on sales. Conversely, further economic growth would create a...
