General Motors is investing $1 billion in Chevrolet in India and roll out 10 new models in the next five years. Will it work in India ? If it works then , it would be more then good news.

The company began its operations in India in 1996 and has invested about $1 billion since then to build its two factories. Still, it has been unable to carve out a very big share of an Indian car market. GM lost market share in recent years to Maruti Suzuki India Ltd. and Hyundai Motor Co .

Don't judge people before you actually know them

Image
We often misjudge people .It happens everywhere, or even recruiting people we recruit wrong people and send the right people away.Because we do not overview it, we jump to the conclusion.And this is where al  goes wrong.There is a perfect example I can give you.A mature young boy age at 24 years old seeing out from the trains window shouted ," DAD! look the trees are going behind"Dad smiled at him and there was a couple sitting nearby .The couple looked at them with a pity smile on their face .The young boy again exclaimed ,"DAD! look the cloud is running with us".The couple could not resist and said to the old man , "Why don't you take your son to  a good doctor?".The old man paused a bit and smiled , he said ," I just did ! My son was blind from birth , he just got his eyes today" We should not jump to the conclusion before overview it , whether it is in your social life or business life.Because everyone has a story behind it.

Some people will not see the big picture

Image
Some people always look at the negative side , they do not see the big picture.I  have been through so many staff and my eyes have seen it all.Some people are just jealous what are you doing or if you do something amazing.You want some support or compliment , but they wont give you .There always will be the haters.But you should not listen to them ,You should follow your dreams and make your dream to be millionaire.Someone said to me, "Mirja! You should stop watching dream and work hard" . If I dont dream about the thing I want to be , them my life is will be worthless. Because the person in my dream is successful and I want to be that man , I want to achieve it. Anyway , there is perfect example of those who will never compliment. There was a man , who used to love hunting the birds.So one day , he found this amazing Dog bird and it was very rare to find and it was one of a kind .He pet it and trained  the Dog bird very well.So the man was happy to achieve it .He th

How would you like to be remembered?

Image
How would you like to be  remembered  ?  Because  I was  thinking  ,are people will  remember  me "The man with the  shiny  shoes" or "The man who tries to make  everyone  laugh". Because  I like my shoes and it has to be really shiny and  sparky  .I got compliment as well.And other part is I try to make  everyone  laugh .But I do not  want  to be  remembered  like that .I want to be  remembered  a  successful  man and a creator of something.So how would you be  remembered  as successful , creator or as  just  normal like everyone else?  Because people even don't   care about to be  remembered. They study their whole life and work under  someone  , have a life and die , that is it.For me i want to be someone, I want to create something and  I want to people  remember  me.Here is perfect example of an ideal man. About a hundred years ago, a man looked at the morning newspaper and to his surprise and horror, read his name in the obituary column. The news

Image
Last year , 2014 Volkswagen targeted with 118 production location on four continents to become the most sustainable auto mobile manufacturer and the most attractive employer in the world by 2018.This year already has done it by overtaking the mighty Toyota.So , what is the reason behind Volkswagen success? Ok ! So first of all the company invested billions – in research activities, in development projects and in production locations in the various regions. Secondly , the company focused on  future where  Electric mobility represents a paradigm shift for the entire automotive industry. Because in current era we suspected that  it will soon become a reality on a far wider scale than is currently thought and are ideally prepared for this to happen – not just through the vehicles that the car campaniles  already offer,. Furthermore , the company already were trying to  provide adequate solutions in every class with everything from all-electric cars to sophisticated hybrid models.

Toyota overtaken by Volkswagen

Image
German overtook Japanese this year. This is the first time VW has became the world's biggest selling vehicle maker and this is the first time VW has taken over Toyota. VW sold 5.04 million cars between January and June - slightly more than the 5.02 million sold by Toyota. Since the emerging market slowed, Toyota's sales dropped 1.5% compared with 2014.Volkswagen targeted in 2018 they will overtake Toyota, and they beat them three years ahead. Also ,VW owns Audi and Porsche ,seems likely exceed it's sales 10.1 million car sold in 2014.General Motors held the global sales crown for more than seven decades until being surpassed by Toyota in 2008.When Toyota's production was hurt by earthquake and tsunami in north-eastern Japan, GM regained the top spot in 2011.But it did not effect too much because Toyota regained it's spot following year and it's held it's title ever since. However, this year sales wise VW outranked Toyota 5.04 million cars to 5.0

When you are famous , you should not publish your darkside

Image
When you are not famous , majority people won't even care your opinion or what you think.But when you are famous and your fans following you , people will care  about your opinion and they will care about what you say. Because people  like celebrity or famous people  not only  activities but also their personalities.A lot of people like the celebrities personality , what they are doing their societies besides their activities.When you have fans and all the paparazzi following you ,therefore you have to be very careful what you say or what you do.And that is when you should not publish your dark side .And this is when a lot of celebrities goes wrong and they loose their fan base. For example, just recently Wrestler Hulk Hogan said to the manager of the restaurant that let the consumer know "Don't Dress Like Black Guys". And it went viral and he is vanished from WWE and also in video game his character has taken off .Also  The transcripts were  submitted to a F

Importance and Complications of Decentralisation

Decentralisation When the organisation grows large and complex , decentralisation is natural development. According to Henry Fuyol cited in Wood and Wood (2002) , when subordinates importance of roles increase is decentralisation and when decrease is centralisation .Basically decentralisation is opposite of centralisation. In a centralised organisation only few people have powers for decision making and decentralised organisations are spread. Also Lilly Allen defined decentralisation as ," Decentralisation refers to the universal attempt to hand over to the least levels all power apart from that which can only  implemented at vital aim" (Akhani,2010).So even in decentralisation , since the basic management are centralised , delegation to the lowest level is not complete.

The choices of entry modes for Superdrug’s and complications in India

According to Mehta(2009), one of the largest and fastest growing market is India and franchising has been successful for many year(WWL,2009). Meldonson and Bynoe(1995) noted that franchise business is a key feature because franchisee is committed by the business. Most of the foreign companies prefer franchising since India is vast and cultural diverse market. Compared to other part of the world, in India there is no need for franchisee-specific legislation (WWL,2009).Although some of the rules has to follow the foreign companies .For example, single brand has to pay 51  per cent of FDI and also foreign exchange regulation the foreign company has to pay franchisee fee, advertisement, trademarks .Even though well-known brand like McDonald , L’Oreal and Tony & Guy has marked their presence through franchise model in India(WWL,2009).Since Superdrug is largest international health and beauty retailers in Asia and Europe, it might be a good idea to go for franchising. Also, it’s

We can use  growth strategy (Chaffey, 2009) in mobile industry (Apple, Samsung, Nokia) to find out which companies are doing better or how are they doing in growth strategies. Market development:  In order to take the existing products to reach new markets , like mobile industries , it has been found  by Upstream(Mobile Marketing Firm) and Ovum(Research firm) that Apple and Samsung surveyed in emerging market like Brazil , China and India(BGR,2014) .As the result has been found , Apple is most coveted brand and Samsung is second best , the companies are trying to reach the new market in those emerging area. On the other with the joint venture of Telecommunication Company like Vodafone-mobile and O2, mobile industries reach customer via advertising online (Giere, 2008). For example, some consumers are price sensitive. So Samsung or Nokia takes the advantage by reducing their cost to reach those consumers by Telecommunications Company.
