    2012 U.S. market versus Asian market for VW Group and Skoda Auto expansion opportunities Pavla Kralova Professor: Vaclav Chvalovsky 12/3/2012 University of New York in Prague European Business Administration U.S. market versus Asian market for VW Group and Skoda Auto expansion opportunities Pavla Kralova . Year: 2012-13 Mentor: Vaclav Chvalovsky Acknowledgements I would like to acknowledge the support I have received throughout my studies at UNYP, not least from professors, faculty members, and for the patience and understanding of my family. This was invaluable in helping me progress through the studies. Abstract U.S. market versus Asian market for VW Group and Skoda Auto expansion opportunities This study examines the Volkswagen Group and Skoda Auto‘s expansion opportunities in the U.S. and Asian markets, by first taking a detailed look at the U.S. auto industry and it’s history, and in particular Detroit‘s Big Three, namely the Ford Motor Company, General Motors Corporation (GM) and Chrysler LLC. The study then looks at some of the defining moments and turning points of the U.S. auto industry through the 20th century, the impact of modern technologies, shifts in consumer taste and the current U.S. consumer profile. The following chapters then make a historical overview of the Volkswagen group and the Toyota Motor Corporation, being the current leader in a global car industry, and Volkswagen’s principal competitor. The study then continues with an overview of the auto industry in the BRIC countries, in particular focussing on China , India and Russia, while deliberately omitting Brazil as a separate study of Latin America was not in scope.

People of the Beetle Generation sit up and take notice when they hear it today. They are strangely touched, experience melancholy, as though remembering something long since lost. It is a sound as unmistakable as the Beetle's silhouette: it buzzes, it putters - all against a background of soothing fan noises – a feeling of euphoria which has underscored our mobility for decades and which was the accompaniment for our independence and for growing prosperity during those years. Beginning in the late 1940's and continuing into the early 1980's, the unmistakable noise of the Beetle left its mark on the sound backdrop of German streets. And in other places, as well, the air-cooled Beetle Boxer was the lead instrument in the noisy traffic concert. This is why Volkswagen advertising from the Doyle Dane Bernbach (DDB) agency at the end of the 1960's, advertising that is already legendary today, was titled „What the world loves about Germany"; it included a colorfully mixed collection of pictures: Heidelberg, a cuckoo clock, sauerkraut with dumplings, Goethe, a dachshund, the Lorelei – and a Beetle.

  • RSR Final Desc.Pages
    ! The 1973 Sebring 12 Hours Winning 1973 Porsche 911 2.8 RSR Ex. Hurley Haywood, Peter Gregg Chassis No. : 911.360.0705 • Without a doubt one of the most significant Porsche 911 of all time. • Run by the legendary Brumos Team and driven to outright victory in the 1973 Sebring 12 Hours by Peter Gregg, Hurley Haywood and David Helmick. • Retained and preserved in the long term collection of well known Porsche collector Dr. Bill Jackson. • A once in a lifetime opportunity to own the car that claimed one the three most important outright wins for the Porsche 911 of all time. Since the company was founded in 1931 by Dr. Ferdinand Porsche, Porsche has been responsible for some of the most iconic cars of all time. Perhaps the most important of these is the Porsche 911, a design concept which has endured for more than half a century and is still successful both commercially on the road and in competition on the race track. Designed by Ferdinand Porsche’s son Ferry, the 911 was a replacement for Porsche’s 356 model and made it’s debut at the 1963 Frankfurt Motor Show. It was originally badged as the 901 and had a 128hp, 1991cc flat 6 engine in boxer configuration, which was air cooled and rear mounted and mated to a five speed manual transmission. After a mere 82 cars had been produced, a legal challenge from Peugeot concerning the car name, led Porsche to change the name to 911. T. + 44 (0)1285 831 488 E. [email protected] www.williamianson.com ! The Porsche factory did not decide to start racing the 911 immediately choosing to focus its attention on the purpose designed 906, 908 and 910 prototypes.

  • System VW, System Piech & Große Politik
    System VW, System Piech & große Politik Von Winfried Wolf Die internationale Autoindustrie befindet sich seit fünfzehn Jahren in einer strukturellen Krise. Knapp ein Viertel der weltweiten Kapazitäten sind unausgelastet. 2004 wurden 52 Millionen Fahrzeuge verkauft; doch die vorhandenen Kapazitäten gestatten eine Fertigung von 67 Millionen Autos. 2005 wird der Autoabsatz weltweit erneut steigen. Doch es werden weit mehr neue Kapazitäten (vor allem in Osteuropa und China) geschaffen, sodass die Kluft zwischen Produktionskapazitäten und realem Absatz weiter wächst. Womit sich die Branchen-Krise verschärft. Die Krise des Volkswagen-Konzerns ist nur ein Mosaikstein in diesem Szenario. Beim Streik bei Opel Bochum im Oktober 2004 war zu beobachten, wie eine scheinbare Krise des Konzerns GM sich einordnet in die umfassende Krise der Automobilbranche. Und wie die Management-Fehler bei GM/Opel die Krise verschärfende Rolle spielen. Vergleichbares war ein halbes Jahr zuvor, im Frühjahr 2004, bei DaimlerChrysler festzustellen, als dieses deutsche Vorzeige-Unternehmen bei Mitsubishi Motors aussteigen musste. Eine Untersuchung der aktuellen Ereignisse um VW kommt zu einem ähnlichen Resultat. Es ist nicht „das System VW“, es ist nicht „die Mitbestimmung“ und es waren nicht der VW- Top-Manager Peter Hartz und der Konzernbetriebsratsvorsitzende Klaus Volkert, die in erster Linie für die Krise bei VW verantwortlich zeichnen. Den entscheidenden Hintergrund bildet eine Überproduktion von Autos, die auf Masseneinkommen zielen (bzw. Überkapazitäten für die Herstellung solcher Fahrzeuge) vor dem Hintergrund einer weltweiten Politik, die just die erforderliche Nachfrage kappt, indem sie Massenarbeitslosigkeit schafft und die realen Einkommen der Noch-Beschäftigten flächendeckend reduziert. Aber natürlich sind da auch Eigenbeiträge zur Krise: Es gibt massive Management-Fehler.

  • NUDNIK Forgetting Josef Ganz Rémy Markowitsch
    NUDNIK Forgetting Josef Ganz Rémy Markowitsch Maikäfer (From the Photo Archive of Josef Ganz, 1930-1933) Rémy Markowitsch Nudnik: Forgetting Josef Ganz Combining sculptural and multimedia works and archival ma- terials, the spatially expansive installation Nudnik: Forgetting Josef Ganz by Swiss artist Rémy Markowitsch deals with the Jewish engineer and journalist Josef Ganz. The artist presented his works in a cabinet space with two connecting corridors at the 2016 exhibition Wolfsburg Unlimited: A City as World La- boratory, the first show curated by Ralf Beil at Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg. The work consists not just of an aesthetic transfe- rence of Ganz’s photographic negatives and written documents to a presentation of large prints or as a video, but by way of the artist’s associative approach represents, as it were, the transil- lumination and “defoliation” of the history of a major figure in the automobile industry of the twentieth century, a figure ba- rely known until now. The processes of defoliation and transillumination, ex- posing hidden narratives, (material) conditions, and webs of relations, are defining aspects of Rémy Markowitsch’ s artistic approach. Driven in his work by certain stories, biographies, and literatures, since 1993 the artist has revealed the results of his research in photographic transilluminations. Just as the term from the realm of radiology describes, the relevant motif is penetrated, x-rayed, and superimposed with a different mo- tif. At the very moment when the photographic images shift from an opaque to a lucid state, they overlap one another. In Moving Forward so doing, the support material moves to the foreground, mat- rix dots become visible as grains and the representation is no longer focused on the act of illustration, but encourages simul- taneous examination.

  • 6 BAB II BURSA MOBIL VOLKSWAGEN 2. 1. Tinjauan
    BAB II BURSA MOBIL VOLKSWAGEN 2. 1. Tinjauan Umum Perkembangan kota Yogyakarta sangat pesat dalam segala bidang, termasuk dalam bidang otomotif. Masyarakat Yogyakarta, baik penduduk asli maupun pendatang, lebih banyak yang memilih menggunakan kendaraan pribadi sebagai alat transportasi utama dibandingkan angkutan umum. Seiring dengan pertumbuhan jumlah kendaraan pribadi (mobil), kegiatan yang mengandung unsur-unsur otomotif pun semakin marak. Secara langsung ataupun tidak langsung keberadaan kendaraan bermotor ini mempengaruhi kehidupan masyarakat Yogyakarta. Animo masyarakat khususnya warga Jogja untuk bertransaksi mobil bekas cukup tinggi. Peminat otomotif memang sangat apresiatif, meramaikan event bursa otomotif. Setiap akhir pekan, secara rutin digelar event bursa otomotif yakni OTO Bursa TVRI Jogja di depan gedung TVRI Jogja di Jalan Magelang Yogyakarta. OTO Bursa TVRI Jogja tersebut telah diselenggarakan selama beberapa tahun yang lalu.
