Unilever originally had a decentralized structure from the 1950s-1970s with autonomous national subsidiaries. This allowed for localization but by the 1980s caused issues like duplication and high costs. In the 1990s, Unilever introduced business groups to reduce costs but this failed to address localization. In the 2000s, Unilever shifted to a structure with regional product divisions to balance global scale and local responsiveness needed to compete in detergents and food.

Engineering economics deals with evaluating the costs and benefits of engineering projects over time. It uses time value of money concepts like present and future value to analyze cash flows. Cash flows are summarized in diagrams with costs below and benefits above the time line. Equivalence techniques convert cash flows to a common point in time to compare project alternatives. Present worth analysis discounts all cash flows to the present using a discount rate to determine the net present value of projects.
An international strategy involves selling goods or services outside a company's domestic market to access new opportunities. A global strategy unifies a company's approach worldwide with limited variations. While global strategies offer benefits like economies of scale, they also involve substantial costs to implement worldwide brands, production, and management coordination. Whether and how to pursue a global strategy depends on balancing these benefits and costs for a company's specific products and industries.

The document discusses the benefits of using a stage-gate process for new product development. It outlines that a well-defined stage-gate process provides structure, ensures cost objectives and timelines are established, and allows for cross-functional collaboration and oversight of projects. The stage-gate process divides new product development into stages with gate reviews between each stage to assess project scope, risks, and plans before committing further resources. This approach aims to speed development of high-quality, profitable products that meet customer needs.
This document discusses the manufacturing process of pistons. It is divided into two main sections on casting and forging pistons. In the casting process, aluminum ingots are melted and poured into molds to form the basic piston shape. Additional machining steps such as dehorning, hardening, CNC lathe machining and grinding are used to finalize the piston dimensions and features. The forging process starts with heating and pressing aluminum slugs to shape them. Further steps like drilling holes, milling surfaces and finishing grinding are used to complete forged pistons. Cast pistons are lighter and cheaper while forged pistons are more expensive but suitable for high speeds.
Globalization has led to both benefits and disadvantages for developing countries. It has encouraged specialization and deeper trade integration, however, it has also contributed to imbalances between and within countries. While globalization has helped lift many people out of extreme poverty, inequality has risen in some places. Overall, reducing inequality through progressive policies could boost aggregate demand and economic growth, but only if tax revenues are spent effectively and social mobility is high enough.

This presentation, given at Planningness 2011 in Minneapolis, is about our realisation that our traditional strategy and production processes were holding us back as we tried to build more modern kinds of marketing programs. Through the course of some other projects we landed upon the idea of production as strategy or thinking as you make and making as you think. We've tried to lay out some of the things we've learned along the way - but we're definitely still learning.
