...The Story of AMP 1 Abstract This case study provides an excellent example of the importance of business strategy. It demonstrates how the correct corporate strategy can provide prosperity for a company while a poor strategy can result in dire consequences. The study also highlights how factors such as company size, economic conditions, competition, and corporate culture influence the development and the ultimate success of the business strategy. AMP Incorporated was used as the basis for this case study. AMP Incorporated is a global company that specializes in electronic and electrical connectors. The company, which was started in 1941, quickly grew into the world’s largest manufacturer of connector and interconnection devices. But in 1998, the company’s stock fell, resulting in a hostile takeover bid by Allied Signal and the eventual purchase of the company by Tyco International. History of AMP Founder of AMP Born in Lincoln, Kansas in 1900, Uncas Aeneus Whitaker grew up in a tiny southwestern town in Missouri. He was named after the hero of James Fenimore Cooper’s classic tale, The Last of the Mohicans. In the fall of 1941, Whitaker would start his quest to live the legacy of a hero by taking over a small firm called Industrial Manufacturers in Elizabeth, New Jersey. Industrial Manufacturers was a producer of solderless electrical terminations for the aircraft and shipbuilding industry. Prior to World War II, terminations of electrical conductors were accomplished...

...UPS and FedEx Air Hubs: Comparing Louisville and Memphis Cargo Hub Operations by Alex Cosmas and Bastien Martini The economies of scale afforded to passenger airlines by the use of a hub-and-spoke model are also enjoyed, sometimes to an even greater extent, by cargo carriers. The world’s two largest integrated carriers, UPS and FedEx, run their central air hubs in Louisville (SDF) and Memphis (MEM), respectively. We present a case study of the air hub operations at SDF and MEM. The land-side and air-side operations are contrasted between SDF and MEM, and generalizations are drawn regarding issues prevalent to cargo versus passenger hubs. I. Air Cargo in History The beginning of the last century saw the dawn of flight. Since the Wright brothers’ first flight, the transfer of goods through air mail and air freight has grown tremendously. The first cargo flight ever took place between Dayton and Columbus, Ohio in November 1910, when a department store shipped a bolt of silk. Even though the shipment was of small size, the flight stayed in the records because it was achieved in less time than possible by train. Some time elapsed before the first commercial cargo airline was created. In the 1920s passenger carriers created entities to carry freight, but it remained a very low fraction of their business. In fact, the first all-cargo airline was created after World War II, but bankruptcies and accidents in the early 1950s made most of the carriers quit the business...
