...Waltham Motors Division Sharon Michaels, the division controller, is concerned regarding the performance at Waltham Motors Division for the month of May. The company lost a major customer contact during this time, and she needs the performance report analyzed. Sharon Michaels must report the information to the corporate headquarters of Marco Corporation. Waltham Motors is a subsidiary of Marco Corporation and was acquired in late 2003. This analysis is for the month of May 2004. Accounting Practices: As part of my analysis I started with a review of the company’s account policies. I found that there were no changes in the accounting procedures since Waltham had been acquired. Performance reports were created monthly by the plant accountant. Sharon Michaels would then write a narrative report which was sent to the corporate headquarters for review. These performance reports showed information on what was budgeted, actual, and the variance for a particular month. The article “Diversity In Accounting Principles: A Problem, Strategic Imperative or Strategic Opportunity” discusses the ambiguity in accounting rules, and essentially practices are left up to managers discretion. In this case the internal accounting principles seem to be set in how often they will report financial information, but other rules are missing and not very clear. One example is the fact that this report was created in a single day which was not typical. The performance analysis usually...

...Tesla is a growing motor vehicles company founded in 2003 by a group of fearless Silicon valley engineers who set out to prove electric vehicles are practical and awesome. Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning were responsible for creating the company. Leading the first investment was Elon Musk in February of 2004. In 2008 the company released the Tesla Roadster, to which there was no equal. The electric vehicle drives emission free in 37 countries. Tesla registered for an Initial public offering during January of 2010 and began trading on the NASDAQ exchange in June of the same year. When the market opened, shares sold at $17 dollars. At closing the price per share was $23.89, an increase of 40.5%, netting Tesla 226.1 million in funding. Investors saw potential in a company with a vision of the future that was back by an emerging Elon Musk. Elon Musk was born June 28, 1971 in Pretoria, South Africa. After earning a degree in physics from the Universty of Pennsyvania and a degree in business from the Wharton School at UPENN, Musk started Zip2. The web software company was sold for $307 million dollars. He received 7% or $22 million dollars from the sale. Musk moved on to co-found PayPal which was aquired by E-bay in 2002 for $1.5 billion in stock. The early growth of PayPal can be credited to the campaign created by Musk. Waisting no time, Musk founded his third company, Space Exploration Technologies(SpaceX), in 2002. With Musk as the CEO and CTO, SpaceX would become the first...

...information and maintenance tips. If an owner’s hybrid vehicle is running short on battery power, for instance, the Toyota Friend network will alert that customer to the condition via a short message similar to those exchanged on Twitter, according to the statement. Members will be able to access the community through smartphones, tablet computers, and other mobile devices. In recent years, many companies have rushed to establish a presence in the greenfields of social networks such as Facebook and LinkedIn, creating communities of customers and fans there. Toyota’s new CRM effort is distinctive because of its closed nature and its reliance on telematics, which connects a driver directly to information on a car’s status. “To date, [Toyota Motor Co.] has developed its own telematics services to connect people, cars, and their surroundings,” the statement read. “Through Toyota Friend, TMC aims to offer its telematics services worldwide. Moving forward, TMC plans to advance toward the realization of future mobility by teaming up proactively with global IT companies.” Toyota President Akio Toyoda said this latest iteration of customer relationship management is a natural evolution for the auto industry. "Social networking services are transforming human interaction and modes of communication,” he said in the statement. “The automobile needs to evolve in step with that transformation.” The relationship between Toyota and Salesforce.com appears to extend well beyond this initial...

...virtual child. When I was told this was an assignment I thought “this should be easy”. Boy was I wrong! I found many things can affect the outcome of my child. If I am too strict or too easy, the child’s behavior will show this. Over time, this will also affect the child’s temperament. I have learned that some of my classmates’ virtual children are harder to get along with and require more discipline then others. I decided to just trust my instinct and answer the questions as if they were for a real child. In this report you will see how my answers affected my virtual daughter Alexis and, my experience throughout the duration of the assignment. 0-8 MONTHS 1. How does your baby's eating, sleeping and motor development compare to the typical developmental patterns? ~Alexis’s motor skills are typical for her age, crawling, sitting up, and standing up, but not walking yet. Her sleeping habits are normal for her age. Infants normally sleep sixteen-seventeen hours a day. For the first week or so Alexis wasn't very hungry and actually lost a little weight, she has now started eating and has gained back some of the weight she lost. 2. At 8 months of age was your child an "easy", "slow-to-warm-up", or "difficult" baby in terms of Thomas and Chess's classic temperamental categories? On what do you base this judgment? ~Alexis was an easy baby. She had a positive disposition and her body...

...Introduction Since 1908, General Motors (GM) is primarily engaged in automotive production and marketing and financing and insurance operations. GM designs, manufactures, and markets vehicles worldwide, having its largest operating presence in North America. By 2008, GM became vulnerable to the auto industry crisis, which they were not able to meet obligations. Over the years, GM was a dominating force in the auto industry. However, rising labor costs, concessions made to the unions, higher gas prices and a recession, GM was heavily burdened and could not provide the sufficient marketing funds for any one of its product lines. The U.S. government agreed to lend $13 billion in order to buy time to develop a restructuring plan (DePamphilis, 2012, p.648). The restructure plan impacted employees and operations in U.S. and Canada. With mergers and acquisition activities, the intent is to preserve and provide jobs to the community. However, this was not the case with GM. Was it justified to reduce the workforce? Therefore, the review of the bankruptcy steps taken by GM will determine if the restructure was successful. Pension Plan General Motors pension fund obligations and health care obligations appear to threaten the future of the company. Majority of General Motors’ U.S. employees are members of the United Auto Worker (UAW) Union, which ensures health insurance for its members by entering into contractual agreements with employers. In the 1990’s the UAWs’ officers...

...| | | Chrysler and General Motors | | Chrysler and GM Chrysler is a car manufacture created by Walter Chrysler during June 6, 1925 when the Maxwell Motor Company was re-organized into the Chrysler Corporation. It happened because in the early 1920s the Maxwell Chalmers Company were having troubled with their operation which made the company to end in 1923 and one year later Chrysler had launched the eponymous automobile which was referred as the 70’s. This vehicle was a 6-cylinder, designed to provide customers with an advanced, which was also a well-engineered vehicle, at a more affordable price than they thought. In the summer of 2009 Chrysler has filled for bankruptcies. In 2011 Chrysler has a 10.5% in the market. It is in the fourth position while GM is first, Ford is Second, and Toyota is third.

...1. To enlist support from the employees, I think a shared vision and a clear strategy is key success factors. One of the fundamental problems when Carlos Ghosn arrived at Nissan was the lack of vision from management. By a restructuring in the organization and the grouping of Cross Functional Teams, I believe that the explaining and communication sharing, hereunder common vision, across the entire company was improved. Next step was the formulation of the new strategy. When formulating a strategy it is very important to choose a strategy that is compatible with the organizational culture. It is my opinion that Carlos Ghosn succeeds with the adaption of strategy into organizational structure, by letting the employees in the CFT’s create the strategy themselves, or at least be a big part of the strategy creation. In order to achieve an effective strategy execution you need to adapt the culture to the selected strategy. By reaching to conclusions of plant closures and employee reductions, I think that the CFT’s managed to adapt the culture to the selected strategy. Overall Carlos Ghosn experienced a willingness of the Nissan employees at all levels to change their mindset and embrace new ideas. In my opinion Carlos succeeded in enlisting different parts of the organization, because he created and communicated a shared vision and included many of the employees in the new strategy and the underlying process. The employees in the Cross Functional Teams and sub-teams...
