    In 1977, a film was unleashed onto movie goers unlike any other. George Lucas created the ultimate science fiction movie that is still adored by millions of fans; young and old, proud nerds and closet nerds, male and female. Star Wars’ legacy is being passed down through generations, from those born at the time of it’s beginning to their children. Television viewers born in or around 1977 are now in their mid-thirties, which is the perfect time for someone to have a small family and purchase a reliable new vehicle. Volkswagen seized these ideas in their thoroughly entertaining and relatively effective commercial that introduced us to a little boy who wished to demonstrate his Jedi talents.…

    Volkswagen of America

    This summary is about the Volkswagen of America, which had two major concerns: defining the governance and development of the process directives. Matulovic, the new chief information officer, faced a lot of issues such as new business architecture, inadequate funding and increasing pressure from his peers. As in the past, company had undergone the cycle of ups and downs, VWAG started diversifying its product offerings in the early 2000s. Therefore, VWoA, an American subsidiary, began responding to these new initiatives by improving the structures of their processes so as to meet this new global diversification strategy. IT was one of the key areas affected by this change and had to adapt to this new paradigm as well as to other changes such as e-Commerce applications. They implemented a new process where the submitted projects from all the business units over three phases were reviewed and the one that aligned with the company goals was selected. But, after going through the first iteration, the business managers realized that there were some obvious problems with the new prioritization process. Many factors such as high costs for existing legacy system, budget constraints and a complex prioritization process contributed to these problems. Furthermore, the high level business managers believed that the IT costs were high in comparison to the actual benefits that were delivered. Thus, for VWoA to go forward and increasing its revenues and operations, it must undertake a strategy to keep its IT Platform and architecture up thereby making it a strategic asset of the company.…

    The Porsche has always been a niche brand that makes cars for a small and distinctive segment of automobile buyers. “ The Porsche brand was created in 1931 by Ferdinand Porsche the man known for making the original Volkswagen Beetle one of the successful car designs of all time”(Kotler & Armstrong,2010). Porsche began selling under its own name in the 1950’s, but not many cars were sold. The Porsche was considered a car for show and pleasure not a need. I will discuss how Porsche is a car purchase for show for mostly wealthy customers.…

    When referring to distribution functions we talk about scope and market share, for that reason Netflix has to establish strategic relationships with television cable and alliances companies (clearly for television). For example, Direct Tv has its own movie channel in which people can interact as in the web right at their room. Also, Netflix has another competitor to watch out for. Movie Gallery's principal activity is to provide retail home video in rural and secondary markets. They offer a wide selection of movies and video games for rent and sale.

    Ferrari

    • 464 Words

    The Ferrari’s first car was 1947 125 Sport car with a V12 that raced in the Monaco Grand Prix. It wasn’t until 1951 that the Ferrari won the Grand Prix and in 1952 the World Title was won. This is a company that has so much history within itself with personal and company struggles. The history itself draws people in to at least read about it if you already don’t know about it. The company is based in Italy and is considered the best racing car still to this day. The Ferrari brand name has grown enormously, they now offer men and women’s clothing, watches, shoes and so much more. Yes only a handful of consumers can afford the Ferrari but there is a branch that some more people can afford. Fiat, Fiat owns 85% of the Ferrari brand, the second son of Enzo Ferrari only owns 10% and the other 5% is Mubadala Development Company. Over the years, being brought up around cars my whole life, there are several words that people use to describe a Ferrari that stick out to me. Lifeless, strong, beautiful, stylish and fast are to name a few. To be able to own a Ferrari is a goal in most car collector’s dreams. I can remember being a kid and the book sales would have pictures of Ferraris’ for posters that we all wanted, even the girls. They attract all ages by their look and knowing they are so fast. Now days all the famous people have them, rappers, movie stars and that wants to make the youth have one even more. There are so few made, because Ferrari is such a small company, that each one is so special. Ferrari takes their time to design each and every one of the cars. To own a Ferrari is makes the owner feels special and good about themselves; it makes other people think you have a power in their mind. It isn’t every day you see someone driving a Ferrari. The Ferrari stands out about any other car and speaks for itself when you see them. If Fiat hadn’t stepped in after Enzo Ferrari had passed away I don’t believe Ferrari would be around now. Fiat is a much more affordable…
