This short essay was for my International Business class (BUS201) back in the Winter of December 2008. It is a short analysis of the demise of the American Auto Industry. I get into briefly the effects of what would happen if General Motors would have to claim bankruptcy and go out of business.

By 2025, one in three senior citizens in Japan, an estimated 13 million, will be suffering from some form of dementia-based impairment. The Japanese Government has therefore adopted a national strategy on dementia known as the New Orange Plan, which is aimed at providing appropriate medical care and support as well as ensuring closer cooperation across government ministries and agencies. Dementia is now a challenge faced by governments worldwide, and Ipsos Business Consulting believes the experiment currently taking place in Japan will be closely watched by societies facing similar issues in the years to come.
This presentation provides a comprehensive overview of the current auto industry. The focus is to further explore car manufacturers, as well as some new technologies and ideas facing this sector. From there, we move into a discussion on car dealers. This section breaks down customer car buying behaviors, during the pre-shopping and dealership shopping phases. To end we take a look into how various companies are leveraging technologies to advance the industry.

Comparing Stability and Sustainability in Agile SystemsRob Healy
Copy of the presentation given at XP2024 based on a research paper.
In this paper we explain wat overwork is and the physical and mental health risks associated with it.
We then explore how overwork relates to system stability and inventory.
Finally there is a call to action for Team Leads / Scrum Masters / Managers to measure and monitor excess work for individual teams.
Artificial intelligence (AI) offers new opportunities to radically reinvent the way we do business. This study explores how CEOs and top decision makers around the world are responding to the transformative potential of AI.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
2. The 6 Reasons why the Bailout was NOT Integrative Leadership
1) Influential champion
2) Authenticity
3) Backbone organization
4) Power balance among coalition members
5) Common good
6) Common language
3. Background
What happened to the economy in 2008?
Who was responsible?
How did this impact the auto industry?
What was the bailout?
Source:http://mije.org/richardprince/writers-tie-blacks-fate-auto-bailout
6. IL at the Organization Level?
Yes…
Big 3 get money and save some jobs
Government makes the deal
ultimately subsidizing UAW
compensation for $26.5 billion (More
than government 2011 foreign aid)
Big 3 salvage auto way of life and are
able to stop the bleeding?
7. IL at the Organization Level?
Yes…
Big 3 get money and save some jobs
Government makes the deal
ultimately subsidizing UAW
compensation for $26.5 billion (More
than government 2011 foreign aid)
Big 3 salvage auto way of life and are
able to stop the bleeding?
BUT…
Ford did not actively participate
Deal is reactionary, forced
City of Detroit fails to initiate
coordinated recovery response and
focus on restructuring over paid labor
costs as well as current demand for
desired automobiles
Transplant auto workers paid less
than UAW outside of Detroit are able
to sustain.
8. Was Ford a leader or defector …
YEAH... likely both… Leader?
● All three companies needed to survive the
bailout in order for the US industry to
survive?
● The supply chain of suppliers to the auto
industry is critical to the balance of the
ecosystem?
● A functioning auto manufacturing system
is important to national security?
● Ford had to support the bailout regardless
of its intention to take the help

9. Was Ford a leader or defector …
YEAH... likely both… Leader?
● All three companies needed to survive the
bailout in order for the US industry to
survive?
● The supply chain of suppliers to the auto
industry is critical to the balance of the
ecosystem?
● A functioning auto manufacturing system
is important to national interest?
● Ford had to support the bailout regardless
of its intention to take the help
BUT… Defector?
● Was there deception in lobbying for the
bailout and not taking it?
● Does Ford have an unshared advantage
for not taking the money?
● Is Ford not playing fair as Ford advertising
turns against competitors for taking the
bailout?
● Ford did receive 5.9B in government loans
and lobbied for cash for clunkers
“In other words, Ford was for government bailouts before it was against them.”
http://www.factcheck.org/2011/09/ford-motor-co-does-u-turn-on-bailouts/
10. IL at the Group Level?
Yes…
Factory motor parts manufacturers
coming together to support the auto
industry by increasing production
Detroit community colleges changing
their education to focus on other
educational endeavors
11. IL at the Group Level?
Yes…
Factory motor parts manufacturers
coming together to support the auto
industry by increasing production
Detroit community colleges changing
their education to focus on other
educational endeavors
BUT…
While overall bailout supposedly
saved jobs, there were still thousands
of displaced workers
Wasn’t a coordinated effort with the
rest of the city to address poverty and
economically stressed families
12. IL at the Society Level?
Yes…
Taxpayers diffuse the impact of
corporate irresponsibility
“What’s good for Ford is good for
America.”
13. IL at the Society Level?
Yes…
Taxpayers diffuse the impact of
corporate irresponsibility
“What’s good for Ford is good for
America.”
BUT…
Taxpayers diffuse the impact of
corporate irresponsibility without a
vote
The bailout did not flow through
different levels of society. Example -
Detroit
14. What about Social ROI?
Sure?....GM Example:
● Cost: Estimated government lose on
GM alone = 11.8 billion
● Savings: Billions in social security
costs, lost tax revenue and lower
spending
o 130 billion dollars in personal
income - 1.8 million GM jobs
saved over 2 years 2009 &
2010
● Estimated net impact is a positive
$39.4 billion in bailing out GM alone.

15. What about Social ROI?
Sure?....GM Example:
● Cost: Estimated government lose on
GM alone = 11.8 billion
● Savings: Billions in social security
costs, lost tax revenue and lower
spending
o 130 billion dollars in personal
income - 1.8 million GM jobs
saved over 2 years 2009 &
2010
● Estimated net impact is a positive
$39.4 billion in bailing out GM alone.
Well, Really?
● If you can calculate a social ROI on
a problem of this size should you?
● Where do the calculation boundaries
start and stop?
● How does a positive Social ROI in a
global ecosystem relate to the local
needs?
● Who are the winners and losers?

receive-americas-most-successful-bailout/
16. The Money Question
Yes Money?
Was this whole thing just
about Money?
And:
Is Money …?
… the currency… ?
… of the common good?
“There’s plenty of money out there. They print more every day.” Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
“Money, its a crime. Share it fairly, but don’t take a slice of my pie” Pink Floyd
17. Questions
1) Where were there opportunities for integrative
leadership to arise at the sector, organizational and
group level?
2) What could have legal, policy, education, business and
public health professionals accomplished together at
the community level in a city where the auto industry
failed?
