... this case illustrates the evolution of the commercial vehicle industry in Turkey, changes in industry conditions, and competitive strategies employed by the incumbent and its Japanese rivals in various life cycle stages. The product’s quality of OMC was not up to the mark compared to the competitors. The technology utilized in Isuzu and Mitsubishi was far better than OMC. They failed to view Japanese companies as their competitors initially. Timely decisions were not taken. The product leadership, being market leader and first mover advantage all was lost by OMC. Alternatives OMC’s alternatives are: 1) increase Iveco’s share to 50 percent and provide new technology platforms; 2) sell 100 percent of OMC’s assets and business; 3) Concentrate on dominant products by improving quality, and improving on service and distribution making it competitive while eliminating all the weaker products. Recommendation Otoyol’s best options are to eliminate all the weak products and start investing in new technology to improve the quality of their dominant products or leave the market completely by selling the business. Rationale Having a 62.9 percent service sector, a 28.6 percent industrial sector, and an 8.5 percent agricultural sector, Turkey’s economy has grown to 18th in the world. Its textile, food and automotive manufacturing are the frontrunners in the industry sector. This has caused a rise demand over the years for commercial vehicles. Koc Holding Corporation (Koc)...

...My MBA Program and what I have learned Thomas Domino University of Phoenix LAW/531: Business Law June 27, 2012 Michael Tancredi Good evening, my name is Thomas Domino AKA Tommy Tucker. I have been involved in businesses all my life. I’m an Artist. I started when I lived in Fairlawn N.J. with a paper route when I was 12 years old and continued after my family moved the next year to a small town in upstate N.Y. called Washingtonville. My dad being a Cost Engineer for Kellogg heating and coolant equipment designs, and with a large family, he always encouraged all of my 5 brothers and 2 sisters to help with family chores; that included outside projects. One of our family businesses was hand decorated felt family character images glued to ceramic plates. My mother and father would approach friends and acquaintances from our neighborhood and the church as customers. The plate business grew so fast, I had to use my Artistic talents to help my mother design and produce the plates. Years later my mother was still making decorative plates for her “mad money” to spend in Atlantic City, N.J. at the casinos. During my teenage years, I painted signs for local businesses, and also had a lawn mowing business. So I learned the art of dealing with customers, delivering a product or providing a service for the exchange for money values. I also trapped animals, and sold the pelts to middleman fur dealers around Christmas time; used the money...

...Origins and Responses to the Crisis Barry Eichengreen University of California, Berkeley October 2008 Nearly two years after the outbreak of the credit crisis (which may be dated to March 2007 when major losses were announced by the U.S. subprime-based investors Accredited Home Lenders Holding and New Century Financial), key issues remain to be resolved. At the most basic level the questions are two. What caused the crisis? And in light of one’s answer to this first question, what should be done to minimize the risk of repetition if not of identical events then at least of something similar? To say that these questions remain to be satisfactorily answered is not the same as saying that there has been a shortage of attempts. Standard operating procedure starts by rounding up the usual suspects: unethical mortgage brokers, greedy bankers, naïve homeowners, and illinformed investors. Lists focusing less on individuals than mechanisms emphasize agency problems between brokers and banks, the originate-and-distribute model, excessive leverage and short-term funding, the perverse incentives created by executive compensation practices, conflicts of interest within the rating agencies, and permissive monetary policies. These long lists of causes lead to correspondingly long lists of reforms: regulate mortgage brokers, rating agencies, and executive compensation; force banks to keep a participation in any securities they originate; require banks to hold more capital; and...

...Explain and Analyze the activities of the International Credit Rating Agencies Credit Rating Agencies (CRA) have a very important role in all economies, both Domestic and Foreign transactions. “CRAs assess the credit risk of corporate or government borrowers and issuers of fixed-income securities.” The term Credit Rating Agency translates to a corporation that rates certain credit risks exposed to the corporate borrowers, therefore it involves the use of money in regards of both Issuing Loans and Borrowing. The main purpose of the CRA is to provide guidance to people who wish to give out loans to borrowers or Vice-versa, as it simply helps those people understand the risks of such measures and what losses they may incur if the borrower defaults on his loan, refuses to pay etc… Therefore the CRA measures how likely a borrower will be able to pay back. Lenders, corporations, and governments use the guidance of CRA’s. A Lender uses the CRA to clear his uncertainty of whether or not his loan will return to him, Corporations and Governments use the CRA to help determine or increase their Capital in the institution. CRA’s are monitored by Task Force Agencies, where they are formed by a committee known as the “Technical Committee of the International Organization of Securities Commissions” Or ISOCO for short. Those Task Force agencies monitor aspects in the CRA such as: * Whether the CRA is disclosing the information about their Rating. * The problems that the CRA faces...

...which I military police officer for the United States Army. Laws are set so that business’ and society have to abide them to prevent chaos from happening within the business environment and local communities as well. First, laws are set in businesses so that they have rules and regulations they must follow to prevent them from taking advantage of their investors and customers as well. For example, because the market crashed due to large companies such as Enron, who lied about their financial stability, causing investors to keep dumping their hard-earned money into the owners and other stockholders of the company’s pockets. Another way law plays a large role within businesses is by preventing them from putting false advertisements out on commercials or billboards. For instance, if a company comes out with a cell phone saying that it can do a certain task and it does not that would be considered false advertisement, which could then lead to a lawsuit if pursued by the customers. This took place in the case in Chapter 2 of the text when Cipollone filed a lawsuit against Liggett Group Inc. because they did not accurately state the side effects of their tobacco product (Melvin, Chapter Business and the Constitution, 2011). At the same time everyone knows that smoking can cause cancer and that was his mothers’ decision to begin and continue smoking. Also laws are set so that...

...Commerce of Acquiring Shareholders There are different benefits to commerce of acquiring shareholders, and other entities that shield their members in regard to protection from personal liability. The primary benefit is it allows the shareholders, in the course of joint agreement, this will allow themselves to be exempt from liability, whereas the general partners bear the main responsibility for their actions. This will force the top executives and other members involved to be responsible for their actions. Corporations are formed among other things, to shield shareholders from personal liability for the corporation activities. Creditors look at the assets of the corporation for payment, but may not look at the shareholders personal assets for payments. The shareholders can be millionaires and creditors will not make them pay the corporations debts. The other benefit is that the shareholders who decide to invest, but do not want to become actively involved in the organization would not want to become involved in taking responsibility for the shareholders and others in the organization who are actively involved. Because of this benefit, the shareholders that wish to invest and do not want to become actively invested will not be held responsible for the action of others, in the organization. If the benefit to commerce with shareholders not being personally liable were not enforced, investors would be concerned about their own assets, and would not want to invest in large...
