  • Misguided Teaching in the DCX-MMC Strategic Alliance (Part I)
    論 説 When NOT to Learn: Misguided Teaching in the DCX-MMC Strategic Alliance (Part I) Daniel A. Heller Keywords: DaimlerChrysler Corporation (DCX), Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC), equity alliance, learning alliance, inter-firm learning, organizational capabilities, case study Special Introductory Note: At the time of the writing of this paper, MMC was dealing with its third major corporate scandal in fifteen years. The first two scandals happened in 2000 and 2004 and involved systematic cover-ups of quality issues of MMC vehicles that should have been recalled but were not. The second scandal immediately preceded the effective end of the DCX-MMC alliance, forced the company to undertake a series of major reform initiatives. Yet, in April 2016 MMC admitted again to decades of falsifying results of government-mandated fuel economy measurement tests in Japan. While it certainly does not excuse lying to the government and overstating by a reported 5-10% the listed fuel economy of some of its vehicles sold in Japan, it is important to note that the government- mandated tests themselves are rather misleading from the point of view of the consumer.
