Introduction
The licensing partnership with Google Inc., concerning Google?s augmented reality head-mounted display technology includes following terms. We, Oakley Inc. are allowed to use this technology to develop glasses for the professional usage. This means Oakley has the possibility to market and sell such glasses for professionals like drivers, agents, military people, guards, and more. Our project will allow the wearers of our glasses to be notified immediately about incoming calls or text messages. Therefore, the person will know if he/she has to grab the cell phone or not. This technology allows our customers to stay always focused on their ongoing work and is not distracted by incoming calls or text messages. Just one example, a professional driver will see on one side of the glasses the little message that his boss is calling. The driver knows it?s important and will answer the phone. Whereas an incoming call from a sports friend can also be answered later. This all goes without that, the driver has to take the eyes from the street. Security and efficiency of the driver is clearly enhanced. Google on the other hand will focus their efforts on the computer gaming sector.
Our team is convinced that the implementation of this future technology will benefit our company in the following years. Oakley is and was always a leader in technology for top grade sunglasses. With this diversification of our product portfolio we will be able to pronounce our leader position and win new segments in the business world.
With this proposal, our future development team is asking the executives to authorize the development of the final marketing plan for the Oakley ProLenses.

General Motors was once considered the Great American Company, but now they are clinging to attributes that made its logo. General Motors now realizes that they drove the company into ruins that began more than twenty years ago. As customer preferences changed, competition tightened, and technology was making big leaps, General Motors always found themselves a lap or two behind their competitors. ?General Motors has been losing market share in the U.S. since the 1960?s, destroying capital for years, and returning no share price appreciation to investors? (Taylor III, 2008 p. 6). Over the years the company has tried to reform itself any number of times, but it has been doomed by what once made it successful: doing things the GM way. If you were to ask Rick Wagoner why GM is not like Toyota, he would tell you, ?We?re playing our own game-taking advantage of our own unique heritage and strengths? (Taylor III, 2008 p. 6).
Over the years General Motors and the United Auto Workers (UAW) Union have fought each other over union contracts for the employees of GM. The UAW has had employees go on strike many times in order to get the best wages with no cap on cost of living adjustments, health care benefits, and full retirement after thirty years regardless of age. The strike in 1970 lasted 67 days, and 400,000 employees walked off the job. This strike was described by a Historian as a ?titanic clash between two massive permanent entities? (Taylor III, 2008 p. 7). The union won this clash, because GM?s high fixed costs made the company vulnerable to a production shutdown. The UAW no longer has the power to help the employees as it did in the past. With General Motors reorganizing under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, the company now has the upper hand, and the UAW has no choice but to work with GM to make the best for survival of the company and their employee?s jobs and benefits.
General Motors has found itself in financial trouble because of the UAW fighting to get the best wages and benefits for the union employees of the company. With General Motors' inability to keep up with consumer demands and needs, the company has let their competitors get ahead of them by not producing more fuel efficient vehicles until the last few years. All of these are problems that General Motors is working on to try and improve the company, and get it back on its feet by downsizing the company and focusing on restructuring the way the company operates.
On June 1, 2009, General Motors filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in New York. President Obama hailed GM?s plan to emerge from its current woes as ?credible? and ?full of promise? (Whoriskey, 2009 p. 2). Along with the Chapter 11 bankruptcy, General Motors was given an additional $30 billion to aid the company through the bankruptcy process, bringing the total amount to $50 billion given to them from the U.S. government. The President also sought to reassure Americans who were skeptical about the plan?s provisions to transfer a 60 percent ownership stake in the company to the U.S. government in return for the additional investment.
The President said that ?We are acting as reluctant shareholders, because that is the only way to help GM succeed. What we are not doing?what I have no interest in doing?is running GM.? ?The federal government will refrain from exercising its rights as a shareholder in all but the most fundamental decisions,? vowed the President. He also promised that a board?not the government?would call the shots and make the decisions about how to turn this company around. Obama also said, ?our goal is to get GM back on its feet, take a hands-off approach and get out quickly? (Whoriskey, 2009 p. 2).
The Obama administration had been pushing the bankruptcy as the most practical way to restructure General Motors. ?Officials said their hope is that GM would emerge from the process smaller, with fewer workers and brands, less debt, but also more viable? (Peter, 2009 p. 3). Working together, the Auto Task Force, GM, and its stakeholders have created a practical, feasible plan that will give this ionic American company a chance to rise again. Under the new plan, a larger share of GM vehicles will be built in the United States, including most of all the fuel-efficient cars.
President Obama said, ?the deal is tough but fair and does not give special treatment to any of GM?s stakeholders. He also reminded potential car-buyers that GM warranties will be safe and government backed during the restructuring? (Whoriskey, 2009 p. 3). GM and the Auto Task Force could not have had better timing for the restructuring, thanks to Toyota and all of the problems they had bringing down consumer trust on quality of the Toyota vehicles. ?I will not pretend the hard times are over, he said in comments directed at GM employees. More jobs will be lost. More plants will close. More dealerships will shut their doors, and so will many parts suppliers. But I want you to know that what you are doing is making a sacrifice for the next generation?so that your children and all of our children can grow up in an America that still makes things, that builds cars, that still strives for a better future.? He expressed confidence that the ?new GM? will be able to ?out-compete automakers around the world,? and become an integral part of America?s economic future once again (Whoriskey, 2009 p. 3).
Many of the GM workers are looking for honesty and good ethics from the company, and also from the government as the restructuring process continues. The employees should be informed of how the company is progressing and if there are problem areas that need to be changed. The employees should be asked for their input, since this would help to motivate the employees and there is a good chance they would have innovative ideas for solutions to problems. Ethics are a very touchy subject with GM and its workforce at the present time. ?Ethics refers to the study of moral principles or values that determine whether actions are right or wrong and outcomes are good or bad. People rely on their ethical values to determine the right thing to do? (McShane p.52). Unlike Enron, GM has not done anything unethical. Although closing plants, laying employees off, and replacing them with new hires could be considered to be unethical to some of the existing employees. We personally feel that it would be in the best interest for GM to supplement ethical codes by providing some type of ethics training for all employees to help them get through the reconstructive phase successfully.
The Auto Task Force and GM intend to revamp its structural costs and try to lower its break-even point down to U.S. industry volumes of 10 million vehicles by the fourth quarter of 2011. This is substantially lower than the 16 million vehicles of the boom-era. In order for this to happen, GM is going to need to focus on their employees very closely, and management is going to need to know how to settle problems that they are already facing. They will need to come up with ideas on how to keep their employees motivated, so that they are meeting their capabilities to their maximum competencies. It will be very important for GM management to make certain that employees understand what their role perceptions are.
Employees? behavior and performance also depend on how much the situation supports or interferes with their task goals. ?Situational factors include conditions beyond the employee?s immediate control that constrains or facilitates behavior and performance. Some situational characteristics such as a consumer preference or economic conditions originate from the external environment and can be beyond the employee?s or the organization?s control? (McShane p. 37).
