Organizational behavior is, therefore, the study of the factors that influence how employees and other people respond, feel and act to organizations and work and how the Company is affected by the external environment (McShane, Steven and Glinow 321).Organizational behavior reveals how people interact in a group and how the environment affects this interaction. The subsidiary of Telsa Motors in China was registered in the year 2006, but full operations began in 2013 when the trademark issue for Telsa Motors was resolved. Organizations must learn that their trademark is an international recognized concept but in some overseas market there can be problems with the mark of a Corporation. The best way to overcome these matters can be through franchises with existing domestic Corporations.

...Tesla Model 3 prospects in China Tesla Motors unveiled its most affordable car so far, the Model 3 at the end of last month. The company is offering a reservation for a down payment of roughly $ 1000. As a result of such easy deal for such a charming thing, the company has received almost 400,000 pre-orders for its new Model 3 sedan. The excitement was already evident with hundreds of Tesla fans across the US and other main markets seen lined up outside dealerships before the car was even officially unveiled, and Tesla received more than twice the Model 3 pre-orders it expected. Model 3 starts with $ 35,000 for its basic model which has at least 215 miles of range. However, there is close to a year before the production version comes out. It...

...Tesla Motors - Challenges in International Management. 1. Introductions Today, it is difficult to find anyone who is interested in cars, environmental protection, or IT technologies and who has never heard about Tesla Motors, the company which was found in 2003 by Elon Musk. He developed a person-to-person payment platform known as PayPal, which made him a billionaire. And after that he decided to focus on realization of his long-standing dreams: one is Space X – the company, the main purpose of which is the design of launch vehicles and the cargo delivery to the Space. This is the first commercial company to launch and dock a vehicle to the International Space Station. The second is Tesla Motors – the company, which pushes cars into the “New Age” - the age of the clean electric cars. Which wants put an end to uneconomical and low-tech cars of the past1.(http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9C%D0%B0%D1%81%D0%BA,_%D0%AD%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%BD) Internal combustion engine efficiency - though continuously improving over time - still causes criticism by the "clean energy" crowd. It is argued that in our time of innovation the slow increase in efficiency is not sufficient, and an alternative is needed. That is why the "green" energy adopters see Tesla Motors' Model S as a messiah of sorts. We should keep in mind that the ecological impact of internal combustion vehicles is often overlooked in pursuit of power, luxury factor, or comfort. IC engines produce carbon monoxide that has environmental...

...BACKGROUND: Tesla Motors is an American electric automotive car manufacturer that was formed in 2003. The company currently sells the high tech, high performance, luxury sports car the “Roadster”, which sells for over $100,000. Tesla will be releasing its new “Model S” sedan later this year, which sells at a more attractive $50,000 to $60,000 range. According to an article in Just-Auto, the future success of the company is heavily reliant on the success of the Model S, as the company is currently only receiving revenue from the sale of batteries to two of its investors. The company went public in 2010, and quickly had stock market success. But as of April 2011, the stock fell significantly, proving the public’s grim outlook concerning the electric car industry. The company sells cars online or in select showrooms in major high traffic metropolitan areas like Chicago. There are 18 dealers in North America, and the company has expanded a few dealerships to Europe and Asia. To differentiate their product and provide superior customer service, Tesla does not sell cars to any franchise dealers. As of 2010, the company had sold about 1,200 Roadsters. Because of the small amount of Tesla vehicles being driven around the country, according to an article from Business Insider, Tesla has a traveling team of repair men called “Rangers” to perform maintenance operations to Tesla vehicles. STRENGTHS: Tesla Motors has many positive characteristics that have kept them in business...

...International Expansion Report Tesla Motors, Inc. November 21, 2011 Rio Consulting Group Michael Dawes James Hadel Daniel Ma Simon Qin International Expansion Report | Tesla Motors, Incorporated | Rio Consulting Group Executive Summary Founded in 2003, Tesla strives to design, develop, manufacture and sell high-performance fully electric vehicles and advanced electric vehicle powertrain components. Currently, Tesla’s presence internationally is limited to dealerships in Europe and a minor production plant in Britain. In order to be best positioned moving forward, we recommend expanding into Latin America and Asia Pacific to better fulfill CEO Elon Musk’s primary goal to commercialize electric vehicles all the way to mass market. As we predict slow growth for the standard auto industry, we believe the electric vehicle industry is extremely attractive for several reasons, including high oil prices, less greenhouse gas emissions and government incentives. Our best estimates suggest the electric vehicle industry will have average growth rates of 35 – 40% over the next 10 years. International expansion, if done correctly, can help improve upon Tesla’s current strategic position in order to become the global leader in electric vehicles. We have determined that the optimal points of entry for the market are in Brazil and Singapore. In addition to gained access to the two fastest growing regions in the segment, the two locations are attractive for many political, economic,...

...Tesla Motors, Inc. designs, develops, manufactures, and sells electric vehicles, electric vehicle powertrain components, and stationary energy storage systems in the United States, China, Norway, and internationally. It also provides development services to develop electric vehicle powertrain components and systems for other automotive manufacturers. The company sells its products through a network of Tesla stores and galleries, as well as through Internet. Tesla Motors, Inc. was founded in 2003 and is headquartered in Palo Alto, California. We believe that more than 100 years after the invention of the internal combustion engine, incumbent automobile manufacturers are at a crossroads and face significant industry-wide challenges. The reliance on the gasoline-powered internal combustion engine as the principal automobile powertrain technology has raised environmental concerns, created dependence among industrialized and developing nations on oil largely imported from foreign nations and exposed consumers to volatile fuel prices. In addition, we believe the legacy investments made by incumbent automobile manufacturers in manufacturing and technology related to the internal combustion engine have to date inhibited rapid innovation in alternative fuel powertrain technologies. We believe these challenges offer a historic opportunity for companies with innovative electric powertrain technologies and that are unencumbered with legacy investments in the internal combustion engine...

...cool for the Tesla, but Tesla faces the biggest problem for this future technology. Supercharger location is the primary issue. Where geographically not all locations will be provided with a backup. There are 85 stations in the North America; it has complete West to East Coast coverage. There also have 14 stations in Europe. These statics make consume to consider that is it worth to buy a luxury electrical vehicle? In order to improve their marketing, tesla has a plan to build more superchargers in the Unite State.

...Investment Highlights GreenTech: Tesla Motors Poster Child for Green Mobility NeXt Up! www.nextupresearch.com With over 1063 Roadsters sold, Tesla, in our view, is the first to achieve commercial scale in sale of high performance electric cars. Our model assumes only sales of 4200 Model S (to be launched in 2012) cars even in 2015, which could prove conservative given Tesla‟s expectations for 20k cars a year. We note that Tesla has booked over 2200 orders for Model S. We expect the NUMMI plant (with a theoretical capacity of 400k cars) in Fremont to give the company ability to expand production at low capital cost. We expect Daimler and Toyota to provide for high recurring revenues in terms of powertrain sales. Unlike many of its competitors, Tesla has developed its own battery pack. We note that battery packs account for 30 – 40% of a car‟s cost, offering Tesla significant advantages as it scales. The company should be able to offer multiple models (such as SUV, minivans, sedans) based off the same platform without having to make significant R&D investment. June 29, 2010 Our valuation of $1.74 - $1.88B reflects stronger OEM sales offset by weaker Roadster revenues. Our revised per share price of $17.01 to $18.37 reflects the recent 3 to 1 reverse stock split and additional shares from the public offering. We note that the IPO (on 6/29/10) is priced at $17 per share. Investment Concerns The cost of ownership for Tesla Roadster is significantly higher than for...

...who their main competitors were, they replied our current competitors for Faraday include Tesla and Apple, even though Apple doesn’t have a car. Faraday Future’s (FF) vision is focused on the equal importance between automotive and technology. The company wants to build a brand that will change the world by making intelligent vehicles. This will certainly be a challenge for Faraday’s design team who claim to have a pioneer spirit and don’t need a safety net. The designer’s enthusiasm reflects the company’s vision in technology and design which could make a difference in the way cars are made in the future. New technology in vehicles could actually improve safety and reduce auto-related fatalities. Faraday is ready for the challenge and making a difference. Tesla Tesla Motors was founded in 2003 by a group of engineers in Silicon Valley who wanted to prove that electric cars could be better than gasoline-powered cars. With instant torque, incredible power, and zero emissions, Tesla’s product would be cars without compromise. Each new generation would be increasingly affordable, helping the company work towards its mission: to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable transportation. Tesla’s engineers first designed a powertrain for a sports car built around an AC induction motor, patented in 1888 by Nikola Tesla, the inventor who inspired the company’s name. The resulting Tesla Roadster was...
