Sharma and Starik (2004, p. 16) maintain that “Stakeholders [...] exist at different organizing levels and according to Phillips (2003, p. 13), each organization identifies different stakeholders. Phillips (2003, p. 16) argues that stakeholder theory deals with moral principals and that it is important to pay attention to “the interests and well-being of those who can assist or hinder the achievement of the organization’s objectives”. Phillips (2003, pp. 28-29) distinguishes normative and derivative stakeholders: Normative stakeholders are those to whom the organization has a direct moral obligation to attend to their well-being [...] such as financiers, employees, customers, suppliers, and local communities. Alternatively, derivative stakeholders are those groups or individuals ... 1.5 Identify stakeholders According to the Glossary of BMW Group, the company’s stakeholders are “primarily customers, employees and shareholders and special interest groups, as well as municipalities worldwide where the BMW Group operates” (Sustainable Value Report, 2008). ...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2010 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 1,3, Griffith University (Business School), language: English, abstract: 1. Introduction This assignment deals with the management of crisis. First of all, crisis and company crisis will be defined. Secondly, the characteristics of a crisis will be identified. Furthermore, theory about crisis management and crisis planning will be provided. In this context, guidelines, preparation and goals of crisis management will be described. Moreover, different tables will provide additional information and describe the crisis management of BMW. 1.1 Crisis definition According to Heath and Millar (2004, p. 2), a crisis is an inappropriate and inconvenient event that has negative consequences for everybody who is concerned. Argenti (2009, pp. 258-259) states that a crisis is a "major catastrophe" and argues that these catastrophes are either a result of "natural disaster" or "caused by human error, negligence, or ... malicious intent". Argenti (2009) argues that a crisis is something everybody can identify with. 1.2 What is a company crisis? Stacks (2004) states that all organisations will at some time be affected by a crisis. Fearn-Banks defines a company crisis as a "major occurrence with a potentially negative outcome affecting an organization, company, industry, as well as its publics, products, services, or good name" (Fearn-Banks as cited in Heath & Millar, 2004, p. 5).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new edition of Ian Falloon’s classic book on the history of BMW Motorcycles brings the story right up to date, and now includes all models from 1923 right through to 2019. Over the past 80 years, BMW motorcycles have provided a unique alternative to those of other manufacturers. Some motorcycles may have been faster, certainly others were cheaper, but with their emphasis on quality and reliability, none have emulated the practicality of a BMW. With its commitment to ease of serviceability, the BMW motorcycle has become the preferred choice for hundreds of thousands of motorcyclists around the world. BMW motorcycles are made to be ridden, and if the journey includes a mixture of straight roads and bends, there is no better motorcycle. Factor in the best range of factory luggage and accessories available, and the success of BMW motorcycles isn’t surprising. Ownership of a BMW is also generally a long-term affair, a refreshing change from the current trend towards almost instant obsolescence. Falloon is a prolific author and one of the world’s foremost motorcycle historians with years of experience. His other BMW books include BMW Boxer Twin Bible,BMW R90S, and TheComplete Book of BMW Motorcycles.

Download or read book Japan s Motorcycle Wars written by Jeffrey W. Alexander and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades the crown jewels of Japan's postwar manufacturing industry, motorcycles remain one of Japan's top exports. Japan's Motorcycle Wars assesses the historical development and societal impact of the motorcycle industry, from the influence of motor sports on vehicle sales in the early 1900s to the postwar developments that led to the massive wave of motorization sweeping the Asia-Pacific region today. Jeffrey Alexander brings a wealth of information to light, providing English translations of transcripts, industry publications, and company histories that have until now been available only in Japanese. By exploring the industry as a whole, he reveals that Japan's motorcycle industry was characterized not by communitarian success but by misplaced loyalties, technical disasters, and brutal competition.
Download or read book Riding in the Zone written by Ken Condon and published by Motorbooks. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Riding motorcycles is fun, but author Ken Condon maintains that there is a state of consciousness to be achieved beyond the simple pleasure of riding down the road. Riding in the Zone helps riders find that state of being. It's the experience of being physically and mentally present in the moment, where every sense is sharply attuned to the ride. Your mind becomes silent to the chatter of daily life, and everyday problems seem to dissolve. You feel a deeper appreciation for life. Your body responds to this state of being with precise, fluid movements, you feel in balance, your muscles are relaxed, and it seems as though every input you make is an expression of mastery. This is "the Zone." Condon identifies all of the factors that affect entering the Zone and addresses each one individually, from the development of awareness and mental skills to mastering physical control of the motorcycle. At the end of each chapter are drills designed to transform the book's ideas into solid, practical riding skills. Riding in the Zone takes riders to the next level in their skill set.
