Rusetski, Ph.D. EXAM 1: Case AP/ADMS 4250 Marketing Strategy Exam 1 Page 1 of 7 FIAT RETURNS TO CANADA1 A.RUSETSKI, PH.D F IGURE 1: A 2011 FIAT 500 On March 18, 2011 two hundred strange looking tiny cars lined up on the streets around the Quebec Business Centre. FIAT, a major European car manufacturer, was celebrating its return to Canada after 28 years of absence. This comeback became possible thanks to a partnership with one of the Detroit Big Three car manufacturers – Chrysler. From Montreal, columns of FIAT 500 cars paraded to designated Chrysler dealerships where FIAT opened its “FIAT Studios”. A number of important and at times sad developments led to this celebratory moment. Once a powerful player in the North American market, in early 2000s Chrysler Corporation was struggling with declining demand and decreasing market share. In 1998 the company “merged” with German Daimler Benz to form DaimlerChrysler AG. In fact, the German automotive giant took ownership of Chrysler, but after nine years the new owner acknowledged that the “marriage” was not successful and it could not improve Chrysler’s financial ...

...companies lack the necessary transformational intelligence that is based on constant teaching and learning and the required power of empathy, which bring an increase level of sensitivity to signals changing. The main idea here is to identify change and its associated opportunities in order to become the competitive one and the only one. I am very much agreeing with change and how one can change the rules and not compete head-on. We have to take a look at case by case models of change and understand the quantifiable rate of production. Let’s take for example: the smart car or electric car. If we all agree, it makes sense for the environment to accept a smaller “smart car”, and we achieve 100% adoption as consumers, what happens to the tracking industry and the delivery of our consumptive goods? Are we now willing to transport goods because we have to transport them into smaller containers with less power? Can you imagine a smart car next to a diesel 18 wheeler? Are we willing to sacrifice the safety of our families for the cost of the maintenance of the environment? People are fundamentally selfish and will not voluntarily create a sea change unless they are forced to do so or unless there is no choice. Companies can identify the need to change with the associated opportunities to become the only competition but without government intervention to drive the change at a local global effort, the results are depressing. Blue Ocean is a fantastic way to look at familiar environments in...

...Chapter 8: Use What You’ve Learned 1. Have you seen the new Smart car? If you have, you are probably part of the buzz that has been heard recently about this new concept car that has made it to the streets. The car seats two, is available in three different models, and costs between about $12,500 and $17,000. The most significant fact about the Smart car is that it gets about forty-five miles per gallon. That fact alone has become central to Smart car’s initial introduction to the driving public. Has “small” finally become better than “large, extralarge, and supersize”? The manufacturer of the Smart car is betting on it. Investigate the Smart car. Once this is done, construct a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) analysis for the Smart car. Evaluate the car’s likelihood of success. Strengths: The Smart car has many • Economically priced, beginning at just $12,500 • Small enough to park anywhere • Up to 45 mpg- good for the environment and your wallet • Customizable • 2.

...CASE STUDY 3 CASE 10-2 The Smart Car by B. Renea Kosino 1. What is Smart’s competitive advantage? Its brand image? The Smart Car, made by DaimlerChrysler, offers a cost focus and focused differentiation. It brand image is very narrowly focused. Smart appeals to single people (or families with no children), who primarily do city driving and want a no frills automobile that is economical and eco-friendly. Some advantages that Smart brings to the table are as follows. First, the vehicle has an exceptional look that appeal to those who want to be unique. Next, this very small, but roomy vehicle makes city driving and tight parking easier. Subsequently, crash testing and safety experts consider Smart as an extremely safe vehicle. Moreover, its models are very fuel efficient at 35 mpg on average. In addition, this automobile’s low exhaust emissions earned an Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV) classification. These condition were essential in Smart being one of five automakers to receive Greenopia USA’s highest environmental rating (see attach1). Finally, the vehicle is very economical with the most basic vehicle starting at $12,000. 2. Assess the U.S. market potential for the Smart. Do you think the car will be a success? Why or why not? Smart Car is economical, unique, and eco-friendly.

... I do not dream about over the line expensive cars, I dream about a car that fits both my current and future needs as well as what’s best for the planet. My dream car is a Smart fortwo Brabus. This is my dream car because for eight reasons. Those reasons include style, high gas mileage, maneuvers well, the comfortable feeling, easy to clean, I don't have to take someone who I don't want in my car, the storage compartment in the back and technology. I have a car which is named Chevrolet Geo-Metro which was introduced in 1992. It is not a car many teens who be happy to say they own. I have seen many different cars but this car is something different. This car has an engine of 3-Cyl, 1.0 Liter with the 55-79 horsepower and 58-75 lb. of torque. This Geo-Metro has some smooth features in it such as the hard roof, seatbelts that are connected to the windows and its unique shape which gives an edgy look. In addition, the Chevrolet Geo-Metro has manual gears in it. It can catch the speed of 55 mph in a matter of seconds. The fastest car ever right? I know that maybe slow to others. But nowadays there are faster and bigger cars than the Geo-Metro. I have a dream of having a Smart fortwo Brabus in my driveway. The Smart fortwo Brabus is an electric car but yet has a "Save the Earth" vibe. The Smart fortwo Brabus is an absolute beauty. It has both a sporty but yet classy look. Its sporty look makes it popular and trendy. It is something that a young person such as me, would...

...Executive Summary The Smart car has been around for over 10 years; it is currently being manufactured by Mercedes-Benz. The car is incredibly small; the two-person model is only 2.5 meters long from front to back (half a meter shorter than a Mini Cooper). The doors make up three quarters of the car's length. It's almost as wide as it is tall. The Smart car is obviously very easy to park. The plastic body panels on the car are replaceable. You can change them after an accident, or whenever you want, even with a different colour. The seats apparently are quite comfortable, with sufficient legroom, and headroom is adequate for most passengers thanks to the car's tall stance. Assessment and Diagnosis In the late 1980s, SMH (makers of the Swatch brand of watches) CEO Nicolas Hayek began developing an idea for a new car using the same type of manufacturing strategies and personalization features used to popularize Swatch watches. He believed that the automotive industry had ignored a sector of potential customers who wanted a small and stylish city car. This idea soon became known as the "Swatchmobile". Hayek's private company Hayek Engineering AG began designing the new car for SMH, with seating for two and a hybrid drive train. Analysis of Change Strategy: Nicolas Hayek, the CEO used a transformational Change strategy which involves radically rethinking and redesigning a major business process with the objective of achieving large-scale improvements in overall business...

...we are going to focus on. Since one could write a many page paper just on how the technology works, this paper will focus on how it works in simple terms, and the pro’s and con’s of this technology. NFC is a wireless technology used by manufacturers such as Philips or Sony. It makes it possible to establish communication between two objects, for example a mobile device and a base that has been equipped with an ad hoc antenna. NFC is both a read and write technology. In each connection there must be one reader devide and one writer device so that the appropriate exchange of data can be established. In writer or “card emulator” mode, the device replaces physical cards – contactless or other - normally used. Examples being credit cards, smart cards, even SIM cards in your cell phone. In reader mode; holding the device near a compatible tag, it can retrieve information that enables you to access contextual information broadcasting services (Gizmodo). Several types of usages are possible with NFC technology. In “card-emulation” mode, the device can host virtual payment cards and enable the user to...

...entire system crashing could happen if the right actions are not taken (McCoy, 2013). In this research, Learning Team D looks at HECO to determine what actions they need to take to solve this solar issue. First the team provides research questions and hypotheses as well as variables and ethical considerations HECO should think about. Second they discuss the significance, scope, magnitude, and feasibility. Last they end with the research’s purpose and teams’ conclusion. Research Questions What type of action is involved to build smart grids and provide installation of advanced meters in neighborhoods across Oahu? How will smart electric grid technology improve electric service? At HECO, management focuses on solving the problem by upgrading their technology system to provide adequate electric service in urban areas of east Honolulu. HECO completes the East Oahu Transmission Project to improve the electric systems responsiveness and efficiency. Smart grids approach would save money and it allows HECO to limit the construction impacts to the surrounding community (Hawaii’s Energy Future, 2012). Hypotheses In this research, Team D will use the explanatory hypotheses. Cooper and Schindler (2011) describe explanatory hypotheses like an independent variable and a dependent variable because a change in one variable causes the other variable to change as well. An increase in the cost of imported fuel leads to an increase interest in renewable energy. An...

...AS Level Module 2 Information: Management and Manipulation Lecture One 11.1 Data Capture Lecturer: Deepak Gautam Email: gautamd@wolverhamptoncollege.ac.uk Room: 120, Wulfrun Campus Telephone: 01902 821133 Overview of Data Capture The process of collecting data in a form suitable for use in an information system is termed data capture. For example, before an electricity board can charge a customer for the use of electricity, the customer’s meter must be read and recorded, or captured, on a suitable form. The data must then be transferred into the computer system by means of an input device appropriate to the method of data capture. Sometimes the data capture form is directly readable by an input device, as, for example, in the case of mark sensitive forms which can be read by optical mark readers (OMRs). On other occasions, the data on the form must be first transferred to a suitable medium by a data entry person using a key-to-storage device. Sometimes the data to be captured is pre-recorded on an item to be sold, as with bar codes, so that a data recording form is not required at all, but in many instances, some sort of data capture form is required. The design of such forms is of great importance, since the clearer and more concise the form, the less chance there is of inaccurate data being recorded. Frequently it is necessary to use questionnaires or observation sheets to collect data for statistical...
