As the proverb says – if you want to be excellent in everything you do, master the right timing. Timing is everything. If you want to open and close the valves on your engine at appropriate times, you install something as effective as the Volvo timing chain. The same applies to decisions. Regarding the possible deal between General Motors Corp. and Chrysler Group, most critics say that this is not the best time to do it. With the possible takeover by the largest automaker in the world of another ailing Detroit automaker thousands of white – collar jobs at risk.
In short, all results should wrench and wound Michigan. Detroit's Big Three could be reduced to the Big Two, as such, GM is expected to eliminate redundant positions. People familiar with the GM-Chrysler talks say the discussions are still in the early stages but industry experts predict that the coupling of the two Detroit auto makers would only bring chaos to Michigan because they have virtually the same product lines. "When the two combine in my mind, it is madness," Gerald Meyers, a business professor at the University of Michigan, said Monday.
"With the exception of their international operations, the companies duplicate each other." Several economists have said the potential deal is likely economists said, but it can result in a strengthened U.S. auto industry, dewalt circular saw, if more plants are closed to an excess of production off. "What Michigan needs now is a strong domestic auto industry," said Lou Glazer, President of Michigan Future Inc.
, Ann Arbor, a think tank for studying population and economic trends. "If we are there, which is more important than what will happen in the short term." Meyers, a former chairman of American Motors Corp., which was acquired by Chrysler in 1987 adds: "Whether some of the negotiations, Chrysler said that in the game. All 80,000 people [at Chrysler] know that they not wanted. This has serious implications not only on morale, but on the whole operation. "Carl Galeana, president of the Galeana Automotive Group, which Dodge and Chrysler dealerships, said he felt like a part of Daimler Chrysler.
"I've always very loyal to Chrysler Corp. and Daimler Chrysler. It is really like a child and your parents talk about getting rid of you," he said. GM and Daimler have more than 10,000 dealers in the United States. They work approximately 130,000 hours and nearly 50,000 employees in payroll staff. Approximately 94,000 people or nearly 50 percent of their combined work force in Michigan. This is the reason why Michigan would be greatly injured by the coupling of the car giants. David Cole, chairman of the Center for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor, said he does not believe that a GM-Chrysler combination would decrease the rate of the impact of U.
S. factory workers. He expects that number to keep shrinking. "With or without this merger, we see further restructuring , "Cole said. "We should be better coordinated between the profitable sales and production. On the other hand, a GM-Chrysler deal is likely to speed up white-collar cuts. That's where your economies. This saves two economists." One of the reasons why critics predict the merger is the struggle ahead for GM Toyota Motor Corp, its nearest rival. "Maybe this (one) way for General Motors to go from 25 percent share to 39 percent share" of the U.
S. market, said John Mar, general manager of Pro Chrysler-Jeep in Denver, Colorado, and head of the Chrysler national dealer's Board. "Is this a tactic to UAW (United Auto Workers) negotiations? "He said." As I told my people, it is beyond our control. We just worry about our day-to-day selling cars. "
