    There is clearly a problem with the classification of the Supply Flow project and its benefits. The Project Management Office and the Digital Business Council is responsible, in conjunction with the Executive Leadership Team, for prioritizing IT projects basis their alignment with the company’s strategic goals and the smooth running of the business. The prioritization process considers IT projects most relevant to the business operating regionally. Since this project was “competing” for priority with other local projects, it was bound to be less important from a local perspective – and hence did not receive the kind of funding it required from the local budget. The Supply Flow project, even though being run out of the VWoA office, was going to have a global impact and therefore was going to impact a lot more than simply the American office.…

    BMW’s motivation behind the idea of producing the films was one to simply communicate, and focus on “what makes a BMW a BMW”. In fact, there was no product launch to advertise and BMW was able to use this time to shift its strategy from ‘push’ to ‘pull’. The goal of this advertisement was to “produce the most exciting, fun thing people had ever seen come out of their computer”. In terms of numbers, this campaign was used to maintain growth and sales, which had been growing excessively since 1992: from 60 000 units sold to 180 000 units (exhibit 1). In terms of target, BMW wanted to attract younger generations while still keeping its current target audience. This would enable the brand to increase the already high brand loyalty (44.7%, Exhibit 8a), by getting customers from a younger age, and therefore following them throughout their lives. In terms of image, the goals of this campaign were to strengthen the company’s brand image in luxury segment, and differentiate it from other competitors.…

    On the first business day of January 2006, Federico Minoli pulled up and parked his Ducati Multistrada motorcycle in front of the Ducati headquarters in Bologna, Italy. As he looked up at the complex, which housed offices, the assembly factory and the Ducati museum, he reflected back on the company’s history. 2006 would mark several anniversaries: 80 years since Ducati was established to produce electronic radio equipment; 60 years since Ducati had been producing motorcycles; and ten years since Minoli had become the company’s CEO. Minoli joined the then near bankrupt Ducati in 1996, and led its turnaround by creating the “World of Ducati,” a world that involved superior engineering, Italian heritage, slick design and an undeniable attraction for racing enthusiasts to “join the tribe” and become “Ducatisti.” Revenues moved from €95 million to €380 million from 1996 to 2000. EBITDA improved from a loss to €60 million in the same period. However, in the five subsequent years, business results stalled: revenues fell 2.3 percent on a compound annual growth rate from 2000 to 2005, and EBITDA fell to -€273,000 at the close of 2005.…
