Ford, GM (General Motors) and Chrysler's new focus on margins and profitability in 2011-2015
01/11/2012
The new focus on margins and profitability at U.S. automobile manufacturers after the recession of 2008. The new effort to reduce discounting of prices and controlling inventories in 2011-2012. This is preserving profits even as sales have settled down to lower levels compared to the pre-2008 period.

Detroit carmakers and sales to rental fleets
05/10/2006
The practice of sales to rental fleets is affecting the Detroit automakers adversely in terms of prices for new vehicles competing with rental fleet cars on the market after 6-12 months of use by rental car companies. Rental car companies buy about 2 million cars a year with a large concentration of vehicles from GM, Ford and Chrysler. In fact GM sold 41% of its vehicles to rental fleets in 2006- 600,000 cars.

The new Chrysler that is emerging from bankruptcy with government help under Fiat's Marchionne.
11/10/2006
Marchionne has kept many of the managers from the previous Chrysler. Jim Press is deputy CEO and adviser. He came from Toyota. Everything else will change. He is flattening the organization structure to improve communication and speed. Smaller car lineup will replace the prior lineup, and Fiat's engine technology will provide help for fuel efficient cars.

Sinking demand in 2008 and the Detroit automakers future.
02/13/2006
Sinking demand is casting a long shadow on the future of Detroit automakers, not the sinking demand of the 3rd quarter which was bad, but the sinking demand for the 4th quarter 2008 and in 2009. Something that GM and Ford with their optimistic forecasts of 13-14 million vehicles for 2009 as stated in theSenate on November 18, 2008 by their CEO's, may have missed as sales may be in the neighborhood of 10 million or lower in 2009.

GM. Ford, Chrysler and oil price increases in 2007-2008 and 2011-2012
06/02/2006
High oil prices in 2008 and again in 2011. The danger this poses for the Detroit automakers as they continue to depend on SUV's and larger vehicles for revenues and profits. Even with the big strides in making small cars, a Chevy Cruze or a Ford Fiesta is still not as popular as a Honda Civic or a Toyota Prius, says one analyst.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
