  • Saturn's Rings: What GM's Saturn Project Is Really About

It has been accepted for inclusion in Labor Research Review by an authorized administrator of DigitalCommons@ILR. For more information, please contact [email protected]. © 1986 by Labor Research Review Saturn's Rings: What GM's Saturn Project Is Really About Abstract [Excerpt] In their listing of top news stories of 1985 in the economically depressed Youngstown-Warren area, local newspapers consistently listed "Saturn mania" near the top. In an effort to attract the Saturn project, the local community offered GM a sizable economic development package, organized a 100-car caravan to GM headquarters delivering 200,000 letters from local residents and school children, and bought billboard space and television time in Detroit. This continuation of Saturn mania belies the belief that it was an essentially harmless exercise in corporate public relations. Rather, there is much evidence to suggest that throughout the Saturn campaign GM misled the public about its intention to build an inexpensive small car; diverted public and union attention from its plans for plant closings, technological displacement and the importing of cars from its foreign subsidiaries; forced additional concessions that have weakened the UAW; and shaped the public debate surrounding U.S. economic decline and future economic development.

  • Strategic Roads That Diverge Or Converge: GM and Toyota in the Battle for the Top 129
    Business Horizons (2014) 57, 127—136 Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect www.elsevier.com/locate/bushor Strategic roads that diverge or converge: GM and Toyota in the battle for the top Shamsud D. Chowdhury Rowe School of Business, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada B3H 4R2 KEYWORDS Abstract General Motors (GM) and Toyota competed in the global automobile Auto industry; industry for many decades. While GM hung on to the Number 1 position longer than CEO hubris; any other automaker, it lost this position to Toyota in 2008. It took Toyota 71 years to GM; beat GM but only 2 years for GM to regain the top spot in 2011. Through a brief analysis Path dependence; of the history of these two rivals, I explain why GM and Toyota demonstrated different Toyota; ways of falling from the Number 1 spot. I argue that the reason for the reversal of Strategy leadership positions for these two automakers can be understood by examining executive hubris and the way it either facilitated path dependence or promoted a departure from an established path for the perpetuation of market leadership. I then demonstrate how GM and Toyota acted contrastingly with respect to path dependence and how their CEOs injected hubris almost the same way in their decisions to hold on to the top position. Contrary to the longstanding myth, I also demonstrate that it was hubris–—as opposed to humility–—that characterized executive leadership in Toyota in its last 15 years. Recommendations for practicing or budding executives of large corporations are given. # 2013 Kelley School of Business, Indiana University.

  • North Carolina Power
    NORTH CAROLINA electing North Carolina’s most influential business leaders could be as complex as counting sand crystals at the beach, but it’s a lot more fun. No one expects the list to be “right,” because influence is subjective and the state business community is packed with so many powerful people. But this best effort stems from gathering ideas from dozens of businesspeople across the state and rely- ing on our staff’s collective knowledge based on many years working in North Carolina. Our goal is to cite influential folks who are making a significant impact in their Senterprises, industries and, in many cases, the broader community. We omitted political lead- ers and those who spend very little time here. We also sought individuals who often operate behind the scenes and avoid publicity. Gathering information about these leaders gives us a renewed respect for the dynamism of North Carolina’s economy. The state benefits from rapid growth in its largest metro areas, abundant natural resources and an unmistakable pro-business attitude. The list includes a mix of people who are second-, third- and even fourth-generation family-business leaders (Frank Harrison III, David Congdon) and newcomers who’ve built cutting-edge operations from scratch (Michael Praeger, Doug Lebda). Reflecting our mission as a statewide business publication, we looked for leaders making important strides outside the three large metropolitan areas. While we found impactful lead- ers in smaller regions, power is increasingly concentrated in bigger cities as banking, retailing, utilities and other industries consolidate. We look forward to hearing your thoughts.

  • GM-Toyota-JV-Sim-Core-Text-V1997
    ______________________________________________________________________________ GM-TOYOTA JOINT VENTURE NEGOTIATIONS On May 25, 1983, General Motors Chairman and CEO Roger B. Smith gazed out of his office window on the 14th floor of GM World Headquarters in Detroit, Michigan. Almost 7000 miles away in Toyota City, Japan, Eiji Toyoda, Chairman of Toyota Motor Corporation, contemplated the scene on a kakejiku (hanging scroll) in a corner of his office. Over 3 months earlier, the two executives had signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to form a joint venture to assemble subcompact cars in the United States. But until outstanding issues were resolved, each party held the right to terminate negotiations without liability. As these two leaders of the largest US and Japanese industrial corporations stood in their respective headquarters, each considered the distance their companies needed to bridge before the joint venture they envisioned could become a reality. The MoU, dated February 17, set forth the "basic parameters of this limited manufacturing arrangement." The proposed joint venture (JV) would assemble a car based on Toyota's Sprinter, a front-wheel drive subcompact, at GM's idle plant in Fremont, California (just outside San Francisco). This plant would have a nominal production capacity of 200,000 cars per year. The venture would sell these cars to GM for resale through GM dealers. GM and Toyota would equally split ownership of the JV and the seats on the board of directors. Toyota would designate the president. The companies had also agreed to base the price of the car on a market basket index and that Toyota would largely assume manufacturing responsibility.

As the Canadian section of the United Auto Workers' Union is setting up offices in the Royal York Hotel, no one expects the negotiations to result in anything extraordinary. But before the 1984 talks are over, one of North America's most powerful industrial unions will have been shaken to its very foundation.

LeFauve President, Saturn Corporation and Arnoldo C. Hax Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Management, Sloan School of Management, Massachusetts Institute of Technology April 1992 This paper was presented at the Harvard Business School Colloquium published on Global Competition and Telecommunications. It will be S. P. Bradley, in the book Globalization, Technology, and Competition, J. A. Hausman, and R. L. Nolan (eds.), forthcoming. The Origins of Saturn Saturn Corporation was born from the economic and social realities within General Motors (GM) and the United Auto Workers (DAW) in the early '80s. In 1981, GM was experiencing financial losses, a prolonged U.S. recession, and an escalating loss of market share to foreign competitors. During this crisis, nearly 170,000 GM/UAW employes were laid off. Responding to this challenge, GM began to scrutinize its American automobile production. In June of 1982, GM's Advanced Product and Design Team was asked to answer the question, "Can G.M. build a world-class-quality small car in the U.S. that can compete successfully with the imports?" They set up a "small car project" and they adopted a "clean-sheet"approach, avowing they would not be restricted by traditional thinking and industry practices.
