  • When Transformation Fails: Twelve Case Studies in the American Automobile Industry
    Journal of Enterprise Transformation, 5:71–112, 2015 Copyright C IIE, INCOSE ISSN: 1948-8289 print / 1948-8297 online DOI: 10.1080/19488289.2015.1019654 WHEN TRANSFORMATION FAILS: TWELVE CASE STUDIES IN THE AMERICAN AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY Chen Liu,1 William B. Rouse,2 and Zhongyuan Yu1 1School of Systems and Enterprises, Stevens Institute of Technology, Babbio Center, Hoboken, NJ, USA 2Center for Complex Systems and Enterprises, Stevens Institute, Babbio Center, Hoboken, NJ, USA 2 The demise of 12 American automobile brands over the past century is discussed. Companies can respond to various difficulties by making decisions on their automobile offerings. These decisions are central to relationships between companies and consumers. These decisions included broadening their offerings to address a larger portion of the automobile market, narrowing their offerings to address the company’s financial situation, focusing on current offerings to keep them successful, or switching to other offerings to achieve greater profits. A case-based approach is used to explore the detailed nature of this range of attempts to change. Due to a variety of factors characterized in terms of four levels of explanation, these brands failed. Consequently, these companies’ attempts to transform via offering-related decisions failed. These failures reflect, to a great extent, inabilities to balance the tension between differentiated offerings and economies of scale or market demands. Keywords enterprise transformation; automobile industry; production costs; brand differentiation; globalization; case studies 1. INTRODUCTION Downloaded by [William Rouse] at 05:47 14 June 2015 Fundamental transformation of a large enterprise is very difficult. Recent data on the Fortune 500 reported in The Economist supports this assertion (Schumpeter, 2009).

The Central Texas Museum of Automotive History was founded by Dick Burdick in 1980 as a 501(c)3 non-profit educational foundation and was dedicated to the collection, restoration and preservation of historic automobiles, accessories and related memorabilia. It is over 40,000 square feet, climate controlled building and rests on approximately five acres. The collection traces the development of the automobile and its effect on the social and economic climate of much of the world. It traces the evolution from the high wheelers and steam buggies of the turn of the century through the boxy utilitarian cars of the late teens and twenties, the classic era of the late 20’s, 30’s and 40’s, the dream machines and land yachts of the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s, as well as the transition of the highly efficient aerodynamic sport and passenger cars. It is a one-of-a-kind collection that began with the first vehicle Mr. Burdick purchased in 1970 and a destination for anyone with a love for collector vehicles and the automotive industry’s glory days. dankruseclassics.com | 866·495·8111 The Richard Burdick Collection.

  • 2017 North Star Calendar
    2017 North Star Calendar Lincoln - Nothing Can be Finer The North Star Region Car of the Year 1956 Lincoln Premiere Coupe owned by Brad and Joanie Videen Some people, including Brad and Joanie Videen believe the 1956 Lin- coln Premier was the best-looking Lincoln ever built. In 1956 the vehicle featured a 368 cu in Lincoln Y-Block V8 and it was ap- proximately 223" long in 1956 and used a 12-volt electrical system for the first time. The vehicle weighed 4357 pounds and had a base price of $4,183 in 1956. Unusually, it didn't share an appearance with the Continental Mark II which was sold at the same time at a substantially higher price. Styled by Bill Schmidt, the Premiere's appearance borrowed from the radically different concept cars, the Mercury XM-800 and the Lincoln Futura, and the Premiere was known for its stylish exterior, high-grade interior and some unique features. 1956 was the year Lincoln decided to take on Cadillac.” Lincoln almost doubled its sales with the 1956 models. It was available in two series: the Capri, the less-expensive model, and the Premier, which had all the bells and whistles available in the mid-1950s. Standard equipment with the Premier included TurboDrive automatic transmission, a power front bench seat, and power windows, steering, brakes and antenna. It also had an automatic headlight dimmer. Two un- usual features are an interior rear-view mirror that can be raised or lowered and the Multi Luber. Every day, when you started the car, you pushed the button (on the dash) to automatically lubricate the whole car.
