By implementing a new business plan, a knowledge sharing system and partnering with a design firm, Chrysler can become a dominant force in the auto industry, not just domestically but globally. The initial startup costs for implementing these innovations are quite high, yet the long term payoffs such as lower manufacturing costs, higher quality products, less waste, a variety of innovative designs, better supplier relationships, increased sales, profits, market share, and greater customer retention and loyalty, all support changing to a more innovative company. Introduction The target of this project was to find and research innovative methods to apply to a current existing company. Our team chose Chrysler to apply the innovations researched to help their company domestically and globally. With Fiat recently acquiring a 35% stake in Chrysler, it is necessary for Chrysler to focus on the global market to remain competitive in this day and age.

BMW Summary BMW can trace its roots back to Karl Rapp and Gustav Otto. In 1916, the Flugmaschinenfabrik Gustav Otto Company had merged into Bayerische Flugzeug-Werke AG (BFW) at government behest. Elsewhere, in 1917, the Rapp Motorenwerke Company morphed into Bayerische Motoren Werke GmbH, which was duly converted into an AG (public limited company) in 1918. BMW AG subsequently transferred its engine construction operations – including the company and brand names – to BFW in 1922. The date of BFW’s founding, 7 March 1916, has therefore gone down in history as the birth-date of Bayerische Motoren Werke AG. BMW embarks on a new era of electric mobility. With the BMW i3, the new BMW i brand presented the...

...March 7, 1916 and even though this company, which specialized in aircraft engines, was acquired by BMW in 1922, the BMW Group considers BFW’s establishment as a point of its own foundation. World War I really helped the small company grow so that in 1918, it was converted into a stock corporation with share capital of 12 million Reichsmarks. Franz Josef Popp, the General Manager of the former limited liability company, was appointed General Director. After the war, the company turned its attention to rail vehicle brakes and built-in engines because of the production ban on aircraft engines. In 1922, the company moved its factory and established its name as BMW AG. During World War II, the company sustained serious damage but it was granted permission to repair US army vehicles as well as to manufacture motorcycles. The motorcycle business started growing slowly and by 1950, about 18% of bikes were being exported. In 1970, the company appointed Eberhard von Kuenheim as its new chairman of the Board of Directors and he turned the company into an international, highly respected brand. In 1972, the BMW established a motor sport division in order to get back into that area of business and also built its famous office building, which symbolized prosperity and technical perfection. Following years were prosperous for the company and in 1992, the BMW expanded into the USA. In the 90’s, BMW also acquired Rover Group and Rolls-Royce brand. In 2000, Rover was sold and the company has established...

...Polesie Title: BMW – A Company Analysis Thesis Language: English Background: The automotive industry is distinguished by a highly competitive market. Thus, the actors on the market struggle with increasing cost of production, development and mature markets. With the aim to increase profit margins and reduce costs, Volkswagen, GM and Ford are some companies, which use the same components in different car models and car brands. These companies have in other words succeeded in synergising research and development effects within the company despite car model and business area. By a contrast, BMW, an individual actor, has yearly shown strong financial results and has retained its market shares. This becomes of interest to study more profoundly, in order to find the factors behind a successful company and a strong brand. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to analyse the development of BMW during the past five years. Not only are the financial statements taken into consideration. In addition, a comparison to competitors and the market situation is also made. Delimitation and assumptions: This thesis is delimited to an analysis of BMW between the years 2001-2005. The thesis is based on the assumption that BMW is the most successful automotive manufacturer in the premium segment. Methodology: In the study of BMW both primary and secondary data are used.

...Top of Form Assignment: PRESENTATION and handout For your oral exam, you will be working as a corporate analyst for your teacher. Your main responsibility will be to develop a feasibility study outlining the parameters for possible future investment in your chosen company. This process is called Due Diligence: essentially, you will play the role of an objective third party. This means that your only loyalty is to an objective account of the current state of affairs. You are to choose a company and have it approved by your teacher. You will then be responsible for analyzing the company and making recommendations either for or against future investment. You will have to defend your analysis. Remember: you are working for your teacher, not for the company: Due Diligence requires objectivity! This assignment is graded and your marks count for 5 points of your final marks. You will receive a group mark, both for content and presentation and for your performance in English. First, you must select the company you are going to analyze (week 24 – groups have to be formed by week 23) and have it approved by your teacher. To be included in your analysis are the following: - SWOT-analysis - Legal Status (pending contracts, current litigation) - Financial Status (accounting, cash reserves, recent/future investments, share price) - IT (systems involved, recent updates, future plans) - Marketing (Strategies, competitors) - Operations (management, supply/distribution networks) - Environmental...

...takes steps the speaker needs to do to prepare the presentation. Audience analysis is one way a speaker can prepare the presentation’s effectiveness. The speaker must explore the different characteristics of the target audience. In the case of a quarterly sales meeting, the audience includes managers, salespeople, and customers. The speaker breaks down the audience characteristics and what demographics make up the analysis. This would include professional and nonprofessional. The speaker must also consider what channel of communication to use at the presentation to ensure meeting the expectations of the audience. This channel can be formal or informal. Formal communication is organized and managed. The information is shared with relevant people within the organization. Informal communication is used within the organization and not used with informational meetings outside the organization. Audience Characteristics The speaker must make sure every member of the audience can understand his or her presentation. The speaker can do this by having a clear understanding of the unique needs of the audience. The speaker must know of any similarities and differences in the audience. Stakeholders First consider who the stakeholders are. In the case of a quarterly sales meeting, the stakeholders are managers, salespeople, and customers. This is a combination of professionals and nonprofessionals. The presentation covers both viewpoints of the audience. Managers are...

... In my 4th year of study, I would have to spend 8 months working on a project in a developing country. I could work on a health care delivery system, do an environmental assessment, create a marketing or small business development plan with local entrepreneurs, address key issues such as child labor or HIV/AIDS, and the list goes on. With a good mark in English, I hope to get accepted into this program. I’ve never taken an online course so I did not know exactly what to expect. I am finding it more difficult than the English course that I took in day school. I also find that it is twice as much work. However, in day school, a lot of the marking is through class discussions, presentation, and overall behavior in class. Because ILC is independent and there are no teachers to mark a student on presentations discussions, etc, it makes sense that there would be more work to cover. I like this course a lot more than my last English course. I love writing. In day school, we did a lot of writing, but there was always a lot of pressure to finish it at a certain date and perfectly. I absolutely love how I can work at my own pace think about what I am writing thoroughly without stress. It makes things much easier. I work at Zellers as a Fashion Sales Associate. And I have found that balancing school and work has become so much more easier by taking this...
