...Venture Capital Funding Proposal Venture Capital Funding Proposal 08 Fall 08 Fall EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Mobileye N.V. is a growing competitor in the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) industry. Mobileye is the successful developer of the EyeQ software on a low cost, automotive standards chip that allows for real time interpretation of data on visual surroundings, assisting drivers in prevention of collisions and identification of threats.

Mobileye being the developer of its flagship product, the EyeQ, with primary costs to production being the purchase of microchips on which the software is reproduced, means that cost of revenues is low, output is highly scalable and so Mobileye is capable of devoting substantial portions of future earnings to further research, improving existing products and gaining further growth through introduction of other ADAS products. This suggests extremely positive growth potential for Mobileye over the medium term. The ADAS market in which Mobileye operates shows a potential compound annual growth rate of more than 50% until 2018 (vli Ltd, 2014). This expected growth is attributed to several strong factors.

...Solutions to Questions 1-1 A strategy is a game plan that enables a company to attract customers by distinguishing itself from competitors. The focal point of a company’s strategy should be its target customers. 1-2 Customer value propositions fall into three broad categories—customer intimacy, operational excellence, and product leadership. A company with a customer intimacy strategy attempts to better understand and respond to its customers’ individual needs than its competitors. A company that adopts an operational excellence strategy attempts to deliver products faster, more conveniently, and at a lower price than its competitors. A company that has a product leadership strategy attempts to offer higher quality products than its competitors. 1-3 A person in a line position is directly involved in achieving the basic objectives of the organization. A person in a staff position provides services and assistance to other parts of the organization, but is not directly involved in achieving the basic objectives of the organization. 1-4 The Chief Financial Officer is responsible for providing timely and relevant data to support planning and control activities and for preparing financial statements for external users. 1-5 The three main categories of inventories in a manufacturing company are raw materials, work in process, and finished goods. 1-6 The five steps in the lean thinking model are: (1) identify value in specific products and services; (2) identify the...

These objectives included commanding a strong position in all their chosen markets worldwide, based on leading edge technology, total quality and high manufacturing efficiency, bringing the automotive, aerospace and industrial sectors to a better balance in their contribution to group sales and profits, achieving performance and profit levels which match and beat those of their international competitors in all their businesses, enhancing the value they are able to provide to their existing and potential customers, and developing a company culture that encourages and rewards enterprise, professionalism and flexibility at every level in the organization. In order for these objectives be achieved by Lanchester, Tom Grant created the concept of a Competitiveness Achievement Plan. This plan would help support the company’s strategy and objectives due to the fact that it required every department to produce a plan that would demonstrate how they are capable of matching the performance of its closest competitors in the same market or how it can be even more successful in the same market. With this plan being fully functional it is easy to see Lanchester rising to the top of the industry but as a result of poor execution, this company would fail at achieving their objectives.

...404-084-1 BAB041 Revised May 18, 2004 William F. Glavin Center for Global Entrepreneurial Leadership DaimlerChrysler Merger: The Quest to Create “One Company” Tom Stallkamp, Chrysler president and executive in charge of accelerating integration of the recently merged Daimler and Chrysler companies, was feeling great frustration. Why couldn’t he move the integration process along more rapidly? He could see clearly the amazing potential for payoffs, but it just wasn’t happening. He wasn’t used to being unable to move the organization, and he hated the feeling of being able to visualize great things without being able to mobilize people to action. What else could he do? Maybe it was time to let the two cultures duke it out, and allow the stronger one to win. That would be one kind of integration, though not quite what he had been working for. Background At 4:00pm on November 12, 1998 as the final bell rang on the New York Stock Exchange, U.S. automaker Chrysler Corporation and German automaker Daimler-Benz ceased to exist. They emerged the next day as a new global conglomerate named DaimlerChrysler AG. With combined revenues of $130 billion and a market capitalization of $92 billion, DaimlerChrysler became the fifth largest automaker in the world in number of vehicles sold and third largest in sales. The $40 billion stock deal was the largest ever in the industrial world. Upon completion of the transaction Daimler stockholders owned 57 percent of the new DaimlerChrysler...

...General Motors Co. (NYSE:GM, TSX: GMM) and its partners produce vehicles in 30 countries, and the company has leadership positions in the world's largest and fastest-growing automotive markets. General Motors, the world's largest auto manufacturer, makes cars and trucks, with brands such as Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC. GM also builds cars through its GM Daewoo, Opel, Vauxhall, and Holden units. Financing and insurance activities are conducted by Ally Financial (formerly known as GMAC), of which GM owns about a 10% stake. Throughout its financial woes, GM has received billions of dollars in loans from the Canadian and US governments, negotiated concessions with labor unions, and jettisoned brands. The auto giant went through a six-week bankruptcy protection in 2009; it issued an initial public offering and returned to the stock market in 2010. General Motors was founded on September 16, 1908, in Flint, Michigan, as a holding company for Buick, then controlled by William C. Durant. At the turn of the 20th century there were fewer than 8,000 automobiles in America and Durant had become a leading manufacturer of horse-drawn vehicles in Flint, MI, before making his foray into the automotive industry. GM's co-founder was Charles Stewart Mott, whose carriage company was merged into Buick prior to GM's creation. Over the years Mott became the largest single stockholder in GM and spent his life with his Mott Foundation which has benefited the city of Flint, his adopted home...
