...MacroEconomics | Faculty | Prof. Dave Barrows | Assignment | Group Assignment | Due Date | 26 March 2013 | Date Submitted | 26 March 2013 | Submitted by | Surbhi Sardana | | | Executive Summary Brazil is the 5th largest country in the world, with an area of 8.515 km2, and a population of over 200 million. Brazil is a country with large natural resources and a large labor pool. It has managed to exploit these to become South America's leading economic power and regional leader, and one of the first in the area to begin an economic recovery. Highly unequal income distribution and crime remain pressing problems. Over 25% of population is still below the poverty limit. Brazil has its work cut out for itself where it has to be all set to host both the 2014 World Soccer Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games (Focus2move website). We begin this report by providing a summary of the economic activities taking place in Brazil that are likely to affect the future. Then, the report is divided into three parts; the first highlighting the macro-economic factors that will help forecast the future demand for passenger automobiles in the local market, the second highlighting the macro-economic factors that will help forecast the future demand for export of passenger automobiles and the final part highlighting the macro-economic factors that help forecast the future demand for import of passenger automobiles.

After implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST), the car area has been hit by moderate interest from customers. Presently with the spiraling ringgit, the industry is in an extreme position keeping costs low to get deals against the increasing expense of parts, imported from abroad. Industry players proposed that those wanting to purchase cars, whether new or pre-owned, to do as such before the cost increment get to be inescapable because of the cash devaluation. In this circumstance, the business sector is still steady until further notice, however applying for advances will be more troublesome soon. In the event that the cars dealing develop quickly, it implies the economy is great, yet now even houses are not offering admirably...

...Proceedings of the 2012 International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Operations Management Istanbul, Turkey, July 3 – 6, 2012 Car Recalls: A Problem Unique to Toyota or For All Car Makers? Kamrul Ahsan School of Management and Information Systems, Faculty of Business and Law Victoria University Australia Abstract Often automobile recalls are drawing media and public attention. Influenced by Toyota’s recent automobile recalls 2009-2010 this research conducts an empirical study on historical car recalls. The research uses secondary data from recall websites maintained by public and private organizations. For different car model year and manufacturer the study looks at frequency of recalls, recorded customer complaints, and yearly sales data. Analysis shows recalls are a common event with the majority of recalls initiated by only a few car makers. Though car makers use many eye catching and popular quality and customer care slogans and programs, many popular car makers still face valid customer complaints and consequently face many unwanted recalls. This study identifies that most recalls occur during the first five years of the car model year. This preliminary study of automobile recalls can be further extended at a later stage to identify key causes of recall. Keywords Product recalls, Reverse logistics, car recalls, product returns, closed loop supply chain 1. Introduction Though manufacturers use state-of-the-art operations philosophies, tools and techniques...

...Homework 2 Task 1: “Think” and “Reflect” Questions - based on the lessons so far 1) Explain the difference between standardisation and customisation. Standardisation means that companies learn to operate as if the world were one large market – ignoring regional and superficial differences (Levitt). To speak specifically, executives aim to sale the global products what are the best-value product with high quality, best technology and low prices in different national markets. Its mission is modernity and its mode, price competition, even when it sells top-of-the-line, high-end products. It knows about the one great thing all nations. Moreover, the strategy of standardization not only responds to worldwide homogenized markets but also expands those markets with aggressive low pricing. Furthermore, the standardisation pays more attention on the extras such as status, brand image and promotion. And the total cost of designing is lower than that of customization. While, compared to customization, it focuses on understanding customers. To be speak specifically, depending on the cultural diversity, the executives pay more attention on realizing the choice criteria of customers, the purchase ways of customers, the purchase frequency. Its mission is to design the different products based on the different needs of different national customers. It knows a lot about a great many countries and congenially adapts to supposed differences. Moreover, due to the different...

...HOW TO BRIEF A CASE [OR–WHY DIDN’T I CHOOSE TO GO TO MEDICAL SCHOOL] By Dana L. Blatt, Esq. You are just about to start law school. You buy all of your required casebooks [they are about two feet thick–only “slightly” intimidating], and you receive your first assignment. You are simply told, “read the first 100 pages in each book and BRIEF all of the cases!” O.K., you know how to read [hopefully], but what does it mean to “brief” a case? You have heard of “briefcases,” but that is something that you carry around. The last time you sang at a karaoke bar someone may have asked you to be “brief,” but instinctively you know that that is not the kind of brief that is being discussed here. And you may even be wearing “briefs.” But, what is a brief of a case? For that matter, what is a case? The purpose of this article is to teach exactly what briefs are, why they are important, and how to draft them. You will learn most of the various ways to brief a case, the basic elements of each brief, and how briefs are used in various contexts. Additionally, you will read sample cases and briefs of those cases in every format. By the time you finish reading this, you will be so sick of briefs, that you will wish this writing were much briefer! So, now let’s get down to business. What is a case? A “case” starts out as a lawsuit between two or more people. The parties to the lawsuit have a trial and one party wins while the other loses (or possibly there is no...

...company? Executive Summary The topic of this research paper is how an imposed requirement of regularly identifying exposure to operational risk benefits an insurance company. Risks occur naturally in all business, but if risk is not controlled, there are plenty of consequences that can arise. Insurance companies deal with risk everyday, ranging from fraud, car theft, health policies, and bonds and stocks. Operational risk is defined as the resulting risk that is present after financial and analytical risk is analyzed. Actuaries are able to use many mathematical and statistical techniques that are used to calculate these risks for insurance companies. Using probability distributions and random variables, actuaries are able to identify, evaluate, and manage or control these risks. Studies on car theft have been performed to determine the percentage of risk involved in this type of risk. Different theories and hypothesis have been developed to analyze these situations. This allows insurance companies to proceed with the possibility of emerging fraud. Banks also involve different types of risk that can be modeled under a process known as Linear Discriminant Analysis. Life insurance companies involve policies between insurers and policyholders. Every contract is different for every policyholder, so the risk involved with life insurance varies greatly. Calculating these risks accordingly allows the company to determine how to proceed with each individual case in a way to avoid the...

...Assessing the Production System at Toyota David Osborn Ebenezer Ogoke Lamar Pryor Loretta Inoni UMUC AMBA 640 9042- Dr. Wende Huehn-Brown Table of Contents Exercise #1: 3 Exercise #2: 9 Exercise #3 14 Exercise #4 20 References 24 Exercise #1: Executive Summary Since the early 1950’s Toyota has been in the business of manufacturing automobiles as a family operated company. Much of Toyota’s success has come from their ability to adapt to an ever changing market place, in both good times and in bad, while honoring its commitment to product safety and quality. This commitment has allowed them to consistently produce cars that meet or exceed that of their competition, while taking into consideration the impact on our environment. Through the years many types of cars can be associated with the Toyota brand, but it is the introduction of the Lexus line of cars in 1989 that has helped to keep Toyota at the forefront of innovation and design. Early in 2000 Toyota took on the daunting task of deciding where to manufacture the Lexus RX300. Through careful analysis it was decided that the Toyota Motor Manufacturing of Canada (TMMC) would get this task. How this decision was derived came from the efforts of an independent consulting firm called the Hawks. They utilized production analysis and concepts derived and refined out of Toyota’s Production System (TPS) from Andon to Yokoten, as well as, Grid Analysis and Decision tree to assess how best Toyota should expand...

...this was a decisive step away from a protectionism model toward a free trade market. One of the main purposes for Mexico in joining NAFTA was to increase the competitiveness of its manufacturing sector, especially the automotive industry. In this paper, Porter’s Diamond Model of national competitiveness and some critiques that attempt to extend the usefulness of the model are analyzed. The Doubled Diamond and the role of MNEs in a host country are both examined through a case study research of the foreign-owned automobile industry in Mexico. The findings of this study show evidence of a broader role of MNEs than in the original framework, as well as the usefulness of the doubled diamond extension to explain alternative sources of competitiveness in early stages of development. iii Acknowledgments The culmination of this thesis can be seen as a successful project. An analogy with Porter’s Model, one of the premises to have a successful industry is to have supporting and related industries. In the case of this thesis is not the exception. There has been supporting and related people that offered me extraordinary support. My wife Adriana has provided me a great amount of support in...

...Hyundai Motors Globalization strategy 1967-2013 06/06/2013 Research project: Hyundai globalisation strategy Executive summary The following report maps out Hyundai Motor Corporation’s (HMC) internationalisation strategy from its creation in 1967 to the current period. This strategy can be chronologically divided into four phases according to HMC’s objectives and rationale for expansion at different stages of its existence. From the research carried out, it appears that HMC’s choices of specific internationalisation patterns at different stages essentially stemmed from: The dynamics of the relationship between HMC, the Hyundai business group and the South Korean economic and political environment; Political, social and nationalistic incentives deriving from the specificities of Chaebol management and later the influence of the Asian crisis on this management and decision taking processes; Korea’s initial factor dotation, i.e. the prevalence of certain factors over others which pushed the company to seek knowledge and resources abroad at a very early stage; The replication of Japanese strategies (Nissan, Mitsubishi, Toyota). - Due to the complexity of HMC’s environment, strategy over time cannot be illustrated using a single internationalisation framework. The report therefore discusses two different frameworks – namely Porter’s diamond and Dunning’s eclectic paradigm – to analyse the company’s strategy at different stages of its international development. 2 ...
