II Abstract Strategic change is a topic of great importance given the turbulence of the markets in which firms operate. Related to this topic, it has recently been developed the concept of dynamic capabilities, which refers to the ability of companies to sustain their competitive advantage in changing environments. Often as a mean to cope with the challenges presented by the environments, companies hire outside CEOs in order to acquire new perspectives, capabilities and mindsets to improve company’s performance. This dissertation comprises a teaching case about Siemens. The longstanding corporation has a history of success but where there were also some threats to the sustainability of the company in the market. In this case, the main focus is on the period since 2007. In that period, Siemens hired the first outside CEO in its history and the crisis took place, putting to the test the endurance of the CEO and, ultimately, of the company.

Variables as technology, politics, demographics and even competition are sources of instability in the market that often cause shocks that completely shift the condition under which the company operates, demanding strategic change. Be that as it may, the topic of Dynamic Capabilities has gained increasing importance in the field of strategic management. This view emerged due to a limitation in the Resource-based Theory (Barney, 1986, 1991): the environment is dynamic in its nature instead of static as Barney assumed in his theory. Teece (1997) attempted to overcome this hurdle through the development of an article, triggering the work of several scholars (Barreto, 2010). The Resource-based Theory explains how to achieve a sustained competitive advantage, assuming that resources and capabilities are heterogeneously distributed across firms and that such conditions are stable over time (Barney, 1991). On the other hand, in his work, Teece et al. (1997:516) defined Dynamic Capabilities as “the firm’s ability to integrate, build, and reconfigure internal and external competences to address rapidly changing environments”. Barreto (2010) also acknowledged the dynamic nature of the markets. In his definition of Dynamic Capabilities, Barreto (2010) considered it as a multidimensional construct: “A dynamic capability is the firm’s potential to systematically solve problems, formed by its propensity to sense opportunities and treats, to make timely and market-oriented decisions and to change its resource base”. Under this umbrella topic that is Strategic Change, there is a very interesting topic that often relates to Dynamic Capabilities which is CEO origin, tenure and discretion. When a company changes its CEO, the new CEO characteristics play an important role and ultimately affect the company performance (Zhang and Rajagopalan, 2009). Furthermore, the impact of the decisions of an inside CEO versus an outside CEO on firm’s performance differs depending on the level and positive versus negative effect of strategic change (Zhang and Rajagopalan, 2009). 6 This dissertation will focus on the Siemens case. From the World War II to the current crisis, many were the shocks that the 165-year old engineering giant faced. I will analyze major structural changes occurred in last decades, but a special emphasis will be given to recent restructurings occurred in the company. Over the years, many leaders headed the company to success. For over 100 years the company was run by Siemens family members and by 1968 the company began to be leaded by inside, (or promoted) CEOs. However, in 2007 the situation changed greatly: for the first time Siemens had an outside CEO. The dissertation is divided into Literature Review, Teaching Case, Teaching Note, Discussion and Conclusion. In the first, the theory will be presented to frame the Teaching Case. After the Teaching Case, the Teaching Note will provide a comprehensive guide to class discussion of theoretical topics and case study. Finally, the last two sections will feature the Discussion and Conclusion parts to complete the dissertation. 7 Literature Review 8 The Emergence of Dynamic Capabilities The Strategic Management field has been greatly developed in the last few years. In fact, nowadays markets operate in situations much more challenging as the occurrence of sudden shocks in economies, competition, technology and regulation is more frequent (Barreto, 2010). Therefore, this instability results in a difficulty in sustaining a long-term competitive advantage, which, in turn, has been proved to be decreasing its longevity (Wiggins & Ruefli, 2005). Indeed, the realization that firms operate in changing markets enabled to overcome the limitations of the Porter’s Five Forces Model and the Resource-based Theory (Barney, 1986, 1991). The former, assesses the industry attractiveness and, thus, the likelihood of

INTRODUCTION DEFINATION AND MEANING Inventory is a list of goods and materials, or those goods and materials themselves, held available in stock by a business. Inventory are held in order to manage and hide from the customer the fact that manufacture/supply delay is longer than delivery delay, and also to ease the effect of imperfections in the manufacturing process that lower production efficiencies if production capacity stands idle for lack of materials. The reasons for keeping stock All these stock reasons can apply to any owner or product stage. Buffer stock is held in individual workstations against the possibility that the upstream workstation may be a little delayed in providing the next item for processing. Whilst some processes carry very large buffer stocks, Toyota moved to one (or a few items) and has now moved to eliminate this stock type. Safety stock is held against process or machine failure in the hope/belief that the failure can be repaired before the stock runs out. This type of stock can be eliminated by programmes like Total Productive Maintenance Overproduction is held because the forecast and the actual sales did not match.

  • Siemens Company History Phase8
    New paths in a time of crisis 1989–2006 The years from 1989 to 2006 confronted the company with challenges unlike any before – including the first comprehensive reform of the corporate organization, the launch of the Ten- Point Program, and the compliance crisis – that compelled its chief players to make fundamental changes. 1989 was a year of profound changes, not just for Germany and global politics, but for Siemens. Twenty years after the company’s last major organizational reform, there was a need for action. Siemens AG had outgrown the structure that had been laid out back in 1966 and 1969. Where revenues in fiscal 1969 had been 12.7 billion deutschmarks, by 1986 they had risen to 51.4 billion. The number of business units had grown to eight by the end of the 1980s. Karlheinz Kaske, CEO from 1981 to 1992, aimed to improve "mo- bility, effectiveness and competitiveness," with an organizational structure that took due account of the company's changing envi- ronment – the technological paradigm shift from mechanical de- vices to electronics and microelectronics, the growth of interna- tional business, a greatly expanded worldwide customer base, and ever-intensifying competition. So top management first of all set up a more effective administrative structure. The eight former business units were rearranged into 15 new, leaner units, two operating Groups with their own legal form, and two independ- ent Divisions. Each was responsible for its own profits and value chain – from development through production to sales – and each was managed by three Group Executive Managers. Top management, which formerly included more than 30 people, was © Siemens Historical Institute 2017 1/4 siemens.com/history cut by a third.

While the firm’s sales growth met shareholder expectations, net income remained largely stable. During the following weeks and months, Siemens’ top management not only faced increased pressure from its shareholders, but also higher environmental uncertainty and stronger global competition than during the early and mid-1990s.
