Harley Davidson presented a case study on the company's current performance and strategic posture. In 2008, Harley Davidson saw declines in revenue, net income, earnings per share, and motorcycles sold compared to 2007. However, the company maintained its mission to fulfill customer dreams through extraordinary motorcycles and experiences. Key strategies included getting costs under control, funding for Harley Davidson Financial Services, and investing in the brand.

Employees also must not operate vehicles under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Failure to follow the guidelines can result in lost driving privileges or termination.
Harley Davidson faced strong competition from Japanese motorcycle manufacturers in the 1980s that led to decreased market share and quality control issues. In the 1990s, Garry Berryman led an initiative called the Supply Management Strategy to improve Harley Davidson's purchasing processes and relationships with suppliers. This included reducing the number of suppliers to focus on deeper partnerships, implementing a new software system called Oracle Internet Procurement to standardize purchasing across sites, and optimizing the supply chain. By 2003, Harley Davidson was able to exceed its goal of increasing production capacity to 300,000 motorcycles per year for its 100th anniversary.
A new global brand management strategy for Harley-DavidsonJoren Lemiegre
Harley-Davidson is one of the most mythological brands in the world. Every Harley-driver has its own stories and every Harley-bike its own history. In the last decade however, Harley-Davidsons’ core driver has become much older.
The aim of this project was to develop a new global brand strategy for Harley-Davidson to attract younger consumers. After some research it became crystal clear that Harley-Davidson is a real lovebrand and that it cannot do anything it wants. The risk of loosing loyal customers was too big. Following is the conclusion of the research:
Research shows that the new generation values authenticity and uniqueness more than ever. This is good news for Harley-Davidson which distinguishes itself from competitors with these values. Harley-Davidson has to seize this opportunity by sticking to its values by introducing modern techniques and modern design touches combined with the old elegance of Harley-Davidson. Retro design with a modern touch has never been cooler before.
Furthermore, Harley-Davidson has to stay away from categories that will harm the brand DNA and brand equity. Racing and performance motorcycles do not comply with the brand identity and cannot be introduced unless under a different brand name. The values of the target group for this kind of motorcycles will never comply with Harley-Davidsons’ brand values.
And finally, all this, has to be done without chasing away the current Harley-buyer. This customer still has to be able to identify itself with the brand. Therefore the feeling to belong to a strong community is more important than ever. HOG is a very successful marketing programme and it has to be supported all year long.
By applying these techniques, Harley-Davidson will remain a real lovebrand with high brand equity. Harley-Davidson stands for fun, experience and happiness with a little touch of rebellion. Every Harley-rider has its own story, but everyone single one of them has the same dream: Freedom
The document discusses Harley Davidson's enterprise software selection process. It describes how the company formed a team to define requirements for a new Supply Management System. Eight software providers submitted proposals which were evaluated. Three finalists did presentations and demonstrations. Based on scoring across functionality, presentation skills, and change management capabilities, one provider was recommended for their strong technical solution.
The process of strategic choice involves focusing on strategic alternatives through gap analysis, analyzing alternatives based on objective and subjective factors, evaluating alternatives against selection criteria, and making a final choice. Subjective factors considered in strategic choice include perceptions of critical success factors, commitment to past actions, decision styles and risk attitudes, and internal politics. Organizations develop contingency strategies in advance to deal with uncertainties and create strategic plans to implement chosen strategies.
This presentation illustrates the analysis of Harley-Davidson's competitive strategy. It is based on the case from Grant, R., 2010. Contemporary Strategy Analysis. 7th edition, pp. 636-654

BANKER-CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP
Types:
The following are important type of relationships between a banker and his customer:
• Debtor and Creditor
• Creditor and Debtor
• Principal and Agent
• Bailer and Baillie
• Mortgagor and Mortgagee
• Pledger and Pledgee
Before we move on to discuss the above relationships we need to understand certain
terms/concepts including banker, customer, banking and banking company. The same are
explained in the following paragraphs.
Banker:
Words Banker/Bank/Banking are interchangeably used. Banker not specifically defined.
Meanings inferences and definitions are derived from in- depth study of various statutes relating
to banking and writings of renowned economists and jurists. However, in different statutes
including banking company's ordinance, 1962, concepts such as business of banking/functions of
banks and business transacted by banks are contained.
Some of the Definitions of Banker:
According to J.W. Gilbert
“A banker is a dealer in capital, or, more properly, a dealer in money. He is an intermediate party
between the borrower and the lender. He borrows from one party and lends to another”
According to Dr. Herbert L. Hart
“A person carrying on a business of receiving money, and collecting drafts for customers subject
to the obligation of honoring cheques drawn upon him from time to time by the customers to the
extent of the amounts available on their current accounts
1
2. American Version:
“by “banking” we mean the business of dealing in credits, and by a “bank” we include
every person, firm or company having a place of business where credits are opened
by deposits or collection of money or currency, subject to be paid or remitted on
cheque or order, or money is advanced or loaned on stocks, bonds, bullion, bills of
exchange or promissory notes or where these are received for discount or sale”
United Kingdom’s Version: (According to bills of exchange Act, 1882)
“A banker is any person who carries on the business of banking”
According to Finance Act, 1915:
“Any person carrying on a bonafide banking business in the United Kingdom is a banker”
According to Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 (according to Sec 3 (b) of Negotiable

“ Banker means a person transacting the business of accepting for the purpose of lending or
investment, of deposit of money form the public, repayable on demand, or otherwise or withdraw
able by cheque or otherwise, and includes any post office savings bank. ”

4. Customer Defined:
The entire law relating to banking rotates on the interplay of forces governing the relationship
between a banker and a customer. The question arises as to who may be called a customer and it
is most surprising that the word “ Customer” has not been defined and at the same time one must
know as to who is a customer. In some of the judgments pronounced by different courts an attept
has been made to give definitions of a customer but it is not an exhaustive attempt and they
havenot been able to give such definition which may be termed as a satisfactory definition of this
word.
According to Heber L. Hart:
A customer is a person who has an account with a banker. Coming to the meaning of the word,
Hart says that a person is a “customer” of a bank within the meaning of section 82 of the Bills of
Exchange Act, 1882, if he keeps either a current or a deposit account with the bank, or , it would
seem if the bank systematically transacts with him, or for him, any kind of banking business.
According to Sec 131 of Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881
In the above cited section a reference has been made with regard to the Customer-- that
protection shall be available to a banker collecting cheques on behalf of his customer
Legal Requirements to be qualified as Customer:
Customer should be of age of majority should be of sound mind
Not debarred under any law there must be an offer/ proposal and acceptance of that offer/
proposal.
Rights and Duties of Customer
The customer has the following universally accepted rights:
(a) To draw cheques against his credit balance, or in the absence of credit balance, when there
are arrangements for accommodation made with the banker earlier;
(b) To receive a statement of his account from a banker.
(c) To sue the bank for any loss and damages.
(d) To sue the banker for not maintaining the secrecy of his account.
The customer has the following duties towards his banker:
- (i) Section 72 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, lays down that the customer must
present the cheques for payment and collection within the business hours of his banker.
- (ii) Section 84 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, lays down that the customer should
see that the cheques and other instruments are presented for payment within a reasonable time
from the date of their issue.
- (iii) He should take reasonable care for safe custody of the cheque books. If a customer fails in
this duty, he is to be held responsible for his negligence in leaving his cheques unprotected.
4
5. (iv) He should draw the cheques very carefully and in such a way that there is no room left for
any fraudulent alternations and additions. In Yany V Grote, the Lord Chancellor said:
"A cheque drawn by a customer is in point of law, a mandate to the banker to pay the amount
according to the tenor of the cheque. It is beyond dispute that the customer is bound to exercise
reasonable care in drawing the cheque to prevent from being misled. If he draws the cheques in a
manner which facilitates fraud, he is guilty of a breach of duty to himself and the banker, and he
will be responsible to the banker for any loss suffered by the banker as a natural and direct
consequence of this breach of duty".
Nature of Legal Relationship:
Basic legal relationship between banker and customer is contractual relationship. This
relationship is established from the time of opening an account in a bank. This relationship is at
the root of all other legal relationships that exist between the banker and customer. As such,
scope, essentials and type of contracts have been discussed in the following paragraphs.
Debtor and Creditor Relationship
When customer deposits money in a bank the relationship of debtor and creditor is established,
in this case; Banker is Debtor & Customer is Creditor
A bank performs a number of functions for the customer. After the account in the bank is opened
and the relationship of a banker and customer is established, the bank not only undertakes to
collect the cheques which are deposited in the account but also makes the payment on behalf of
the customer, whenever there is a mandate from the customer. The cheques which are realized by
the bank are deposited in this account of the customer and on many occasions, the bank performs
certain other functions on behalf of the customer such as keeping the valuables, etc., deposited
by the customer with the bank as a trustee. On many occasions, when the customer gives bills for
collection to his bank and the said bank passes the bills for collection to another bank and the
amount of the bills is reduced as a result of debiting the customer's account with collection
charges as a result of an agreement between two banks, the bank is always acting on behalf of
the customer. There are thus too many occasions relating to so many matters which arise during
the mutual dealings between the banker and the customer and at each time, a question arises as to
what is the relationship between a banker and a customer. It has now been well settled that the
first
and foremost relationship between the customer and the bank is the relationship of a Creditor
and debtor.
Creditor and Debtor Relationship:
When a bank grants loan or other credit facilities to the customer, relationship is reversed, that is
now Customer is Debtor & Banker is Creditor.
In such cases it is not the money of the customer in the hands of the banker but it is the money of
the bank in the hands of the customer but in all such cases when a customer's account is over
drawn, the customer does not cease to be a customer.
Principal & Agent Relation
In certain situations, the banker serves as agent of the customer (principal) some of these
situations are enumerated below:
5
6. - Collection of cheques on behalf of the customer
- Collection of dividends and bills of exchange
- Acting as attorney, executor or representative of a customer
- Buying and selling securities on his behalf.
According to Skeleton another service being rendered by a banker to his customer is to collect his
customer's cheque and other credit instruments. In these transactions, the relationship between
the two parties is that of principal and agent—the banker acting as his customer's agent. This is
because in the course of business incidental to banking, a banker undertakes to perform many
services for the customer such as:
Buying and selling securities on his behalf; collection of cheques, dividends, bills or promissory
notes on his behalf; acting as a trustee, attorney, executor, correspondent or a representative of a
customer.
In the performance of all these functions, the banker acts as an agent of the customer.
In general terms, Agency refers to the relationship which exists between two persons, the
Principal and the Agent in which the Agent has to perform different duties/ functions as per
instructions of the principal and also enters into contract with the third party / parties on behalf
of the principal. The relationship of agency plays an important role in business and commercial
dealings. This relationship is legal created by virtue of agreement between Principal and Agent
Definition of Agent and Principal: Sec 182
Agent is a person employed to do any act for another or to represent another in dealing with a
third persons. The person for whom such act is done, or who is so represented, is called the
Principal.
Agency may be created in the following ways:
• By consent
• By operation of law
• By estoppel
• By ratification
Agency by Consent:
Consent may be express or implied.
Express Agency:
Such agency is created by words either spoken or written. In business transactions, this
relationship is usually established through writing an agreement
Implied Agency:
An authority is referred to as implied when it is inferred from the conduct of the parties or
circumstances of the case.
Definitions of express and implied authority as contained in section 187 of the Act is given
below:
An authority is said to be express when it is given by words spoken or written. An authority is
said to be implied when it is to be inferred from the circumstances of the case; and things spoken
or written, or the ordinary course of dealing, may be accounted for circumstances of the case.
6
7. Types of Agent:
The agents may be classified as under:
Public Agents- these are representatives of a State
Private Agents—these agents represent individuals or companies
General Agents- these agents pertaining to a business, vocation or profession
Special Agents—such agents are appointed for a specific transaction.
Co-Agents-- Such Agents act along with Principal.
Duties of the Agent:
Duties of agent are contained in sec 211 to 218 of the Contract Act. Some of the important duties
are given below:
• To follow principal’s instructions
• To show required skill and diligence
• Agent to render proper accounts
• Agent to pass on any benefits derived by him
Agent’s duty in conducting principal’s business. (sec 211)
An agent is bound to conduct the business of his principal according to the directions given by
the principal, or, in the absence of any such directions, according to the custom which prevails in
doing business of the same kind at the place where the agent conducts such business. When the
agent acts otherwise, if any loss be sustained, he must make it good to his principal, and, if any
profit accrues, he must account for it.
Scope of duties of Principal:
Duties of the principal are enumerated below:
• Payment of remuneration to the agent
• Not to prevent his agent from performing the duties/ acts assigned to him under the
contract and for which remuneration is payable.
• Any legitimate expenses which have been incurred by the agent in the course of
performance of his duties are to be indemnified by the principal.
Bailor and Bailee Relationship:
In banker customer relationship, bailment is also important types of relations. It may arise in the
following situations:
Availing safe custody services (lockers)
Pledge of stocks as security for availing credit from bank. In these cases---
Customer--- Bailor & Bank---- Bailee
Bailment
The definition of bailment as contained in section 148 is given here under:
7
8. A “bailment” is the delivery of goods by one person to another for some purpose, upon a contract
that they shall, when the purpose is accomplished, be returned or otherwise disposed of
