Chrysler in Trouble
Chrysler has faced many financial difficulties throughout its history. Most recently, Chrysler was struggling due to the global financial crisis in 2008 and was low on cash. Chrysler received $4 billion in federal loans but requested an additional $9 billion. The stand-alone restructuring plan was rejected, but a strategic partnership with Fiat was approved. Chrysler filed for bankruptcy in April 2009 and emerged from bankruptcy in June 2009 as a partnership between Fiat and the U.S. government. The alliance with Fiat provided Chrysler with fuel-efficient technology and access to new markets to help ensure its long-term viability. However, challenges remained in making smaller, more fuel efficient cars profitable in the U.S. market
Chrysler case study report
The document provides a detailed overview of Chrysler Corporation, including its history, current situation, corporate governance, external and internal environments, and strategic factors analysis. The key points are:
1) Chrysler was founded in 1925 and has grown to become the seventh largest automaker globally, known for minivans and Hemi engines.
2) It filed for bankruptcy in 2009 but formed an alliance with Fiat, selling most assets to Fiat while retaining eight key factories.
3) Both external opportunities like management changes and internal threats like decreasing dealer confidence are analyzed, with the latter seen as the most significant threat.
Chrysler
Chrysler is an American automobile manufacturer headquartered in Michigan. It produces vehicles under the Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram brands. In 2015, Chrysler expects its market share in the US to increase to slightly over 13% from its current 9.4% share. This expected growth is driven by new product launches from Dodge and Chrysler brands. However, automotive forecasting firm IHS predicts Chrysler's market share will remain stable at around 8.8% between 2011-2014. Chrysler remains reliant on the North American market for over 90% of its sales.
Chysler fiat
The 2009 strategic alliance between Chrysler and Fiat provided both companies opportunities to address weaknesses. Chrysler gained access to Fiat's fuel efficient vehicle platforms and technology to comply with its government bailout conditions, while Fiat gained entry into the lucrative North American market. However, challenges integrating the corporate cultures and brands exist. The alliance allowed both companies to survive the economic crisis but synergies have been slow to realize. Fiat has continued restructuring in Europe with job cuts due to financial losses while Chrysler's new Dart model from the alliance has struggled with slow sales.

The alliance has proven successful, with Chrysler paying back its government loans and both companies experiencing increased sales and profits in recent years.
General motors case study
General Motors faced huge losses in the early 1990s due to inefficient operations and a bloated workforce. Their first restructuring in 1991 closed plants and laid off workers but did not go far enough, as competitors improved and GM's market share continued to drop. A second restructuring in the mid-1990s consolidated operations, reduced models, implemented lean manufacturing techniques like just-in-time inventory, and outsourced more assembly tasks. This made GM more efficient and profitable, allowing them to surpass Ford by 2002 through improved productivity, quality, and profitability.

General Motors 2005: Crisis and Way Out
In 2005, General Motors (GM) – the world's largest automotive manufacturer is now stepping to the point, where strategic thinking, planning and breakthrough are necessary. Three consecutive years of global market share declines, high pressure from world-class competitors, health care and retirement burdens, and rapid changes in consumer profile are the reason of that. How GM should minimize such threats and in the same time capture potential opportunities with its strengths is very interesting issue in term of strategic management and policy.

Honda's competitive advantages are its engineering design, research and development capabilities, and strong brand which should remain sustainable.
General Motors_Strategic Management
General Motors formed several strategic alliances in Asia to gain access to new technologies and lower production costs. This included joint ventures with Toyota and Isuzu, equity partnerships with Suzuki and Nissan, and taking management control of Daewoo. GM also partnered with components suppliers in Japan through joint ventures and equity stakes. However, GM's Asian partners often benefited more from the partnerships by using GM's investments and knowledge to later compete against the company. This contributed to GM's declining market share in the US from over 40% in the late 1970s to under 30% by the late 1980s. To address this, GM needs to consider more centralized control, effective ownership stakes, or decentralized relationships to better manage partnerships

Failed mergers DaimlerChrysler
The merger between Daimler and Chrysler failed due to cultural integration issues, lack of leadership, and mismanagement. While the companies aimed to combine Daimler's European luxury presence with Chrysler's American mass market strength, differences in culture and leadership style caused separatism between the German and American sides. There was no unified vision or cooperation between the brands. Leadership changes and disparities in pay also hurt integration efforts. Ultimately, the merger of such different companies with no plan to overcome cultural divides was perhaps not feasible from the beginning.

Harley Davidson faced increasing competition from other motorcycle manufacturers producing cruiser-style motorcycles at lower price points with more advanced technologies. While cost-cutting measures helped Harley regain market share in the US heavyweight motorcycle market, the company's core customer base was aging and it lacked diversification compared to its rivals. Longer term, Harley's future success depended on attracting younger customers and expanding into smaller, more affordable bike segments.

Daimler chrysler - a cultural mismatch
The Daimler-Chrysler merger in 1998 aimed to combine the German automaker Daimler-Benz with the American company Chrysler Corporation. However, the two companies had very different corporate cultures that clashed. Within 19 months, two American CEOs were replaced by German management, and Daimler-Benz tried to impose its culture onto Chrysler. This failure to integrate the cultures led to chaos at Chrysler and the merger ultimately failed to realize expected synergies. Cross-cultural mergers require recognizing differences, open communication, and developing a new shared culture rather than one culture dominating the other.

General Motors Corporation (GM) is the world's largest automaker, employing 284,000 people worldwide. Headquartered in Detroit, GM manufactures vehicles under brands like Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, Cadillac, and more. In 2006, GM sold over 9 million vehicles globally.

Rapp Chrysler PowerPoint
This document outlines a marketing campaign for Chrysler to build a sense of community among current Chrysler owners through social media. The campaign would create unique hashtags like #ChryslerCommunity and #ChryslerCouple to bring Chrysler owners together on Twitter. Offline elements like bumper stickers would also promote the hashtags and community involvement. The total budget for the campaign across paid social media, traditional marketing, and promotional items is $25 million. Success would be measured by increases in vehicle sales revenue, hashtag usage on Twitter, and engagement with paid advertising. The overall goal is to increase Twitter followers, create a viral hashtag, sell more cars, and increase profits for Chrysler.
20 century car design
In the early 1920s, most cars were painted dark colors, mostly black, due to a lack of suitable colored automobile paints. Cars had low horsepower engines, around 25 horsepower, compared to a minimum of 90 horsepower in modern cars. Early tires were solid rubber which did not allow for high mileage. Lighter weight cars with improved tires providing better driving comfort then became popular. The Ford Model T, produced from 1908 to 1927, was generally regarded as the first affordable automobile, while the Chevrolet Brand also saw huge success in the 1920s with models like the Series K and Series AA.
Bmw
The "Company of Ideas" campaign was unveiled by BMW in May 2006 to change its perception beyond its traditional association with "yuppies" and target the "creative class." The campaign emphasized BMW's independence and freedom to pursue innovative ideas with minimal emphasis on performance features. Ads encouraged radical ideas and designs to convey how BMW becomes an ultimate driving machine. While the campaign intended to reach new customers and increase sales, it received criticism for a lack of market research and potential customer confusion over its diluted messaging.

The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
