The Acquisition of Rio's Packaging Group Will Test Amcor's Flexibility

February 10, 2009

Australia's Amcor eyes part of Rio packaging unit | www.reuters.com

The former Alcan flexibles business is clearly an orphan in Rio's  portfolio. However, the absorption of this business into Amcor's flexible's unit creates another set of issues for its current and anticipated customer base. Corporate culture will play into an effective assimilation and strain the prospective value of this marriage. Too often overlooked in favor of the immediate financial ramifications, the ability to strategically mesh two businesses and create real value for the customer is the key to longer term value.

The Real Challenge at Smurfit-Stone: A New Business Model

February 3, 2009

Smurfit-Stone Files For Chapter 11 Bankruptcy | www.paperage.com

Building a sustainable container board and packaging business, capable of delivering value to stakeholders in the long run, requires more than an acquisition strategy and the leverage of low cost  funding.   More important is the management accumen to coalesce a corporate culture that understands how value is created with the commitment to cascade that throughout the organization. The Smurfit-Stone model has been fraught with nepotism and a short term willingness to exploit pricing for volume to mask outdated operations and unenlightened acquisitions.  Today, the real challenge of Chapter 11 is to demostrate to stakeholders they understand those realities and are committed to driving forward with a new business paradigm.

A battery alone does not make a car.

Will GM Blow It? The Detroit giant may actually have an edge in hybrid technology. But ... | www.slate.com

Is a perceived lead in lithium ion battery technology enough, by itself, to give GM an edge in the US market over Toyota? The answer to the question is a no-brainer (sorry!), NO, Li-Ion ALONE WILL NOT GIVE ANYONE THE LEAD OVER THE OTHERS ON HYBRID TECHNOLOGY…… However, it will give them the freedom to have solved one of the crucial parts of the puzzle: where to get a reliable source of energy and secure supply over the others OEMs!!!

35mpg, hydrogen, hybrid, plug-in - Change has to be managed in stages

Ford: Hydrogen-Powered Cars May Reach Showrooms In 5 Years | online.wsj.com

Ford Motor Co, as may other OEMs must keep momentum with their own developments and keep track with the changing technology advances of this industry. Especially Ford has to do something to keep their vehicle line-up interesting and appealing for the end customer, to be recognized as an innovator and a technology leader, but hydrogen is hardly the way to recover market position. Not for Ford, not for anyother OEM... Let’s not loose the horizon of what is cool to have and what is necessary….
