Daimler Chrysler Post Merger Integration
  1. What went wrong in D/C's PMI?
    1. Cultural dispersion US / GE
      1. Daimler:titles, hierarchy, formal processes
        1. Chrysler: informal, flat, direct approachable, can do,
        2. Distrust @ Chrysler
          1. "Daimler colleagues will be privileged"
            1. "Daimler will impose its culture on us"
            2. Daimler's financial managament
              1. Daimler's US GAAP accounting not ready for US shareholders
                1. D/C not listed on S&P500
                  1. vulnerability of currency fluctuations
                  2. Daimler's HR management
                    1. no dual headquarters, just one in GE
                      1. different position of labor unions > unequal treatment in case of layoffs
                        1. Different compensation policies for executives as well as for workers
                          1. unsufficient encouragment and support for face2face meetings
                          2. Daimler's Governance
                            1. Chaiman's Integration Council (CIC ): uncapable, stopped too early
                              1. no replacement of CIC
                                1. "Schrempp's Kitchen Kabinet": too small, too limited
                                  1. PMI team caught up in competition
                                  2. Daimler's Leadership
                                    1. CEO Schremp makes presumptuous statements towards Chrysler
                                      1. "We always saw Chrysler as a division, but we kept that silent silent"
                                        1. "I will not bother trying to please immature MBA analysts"
                                        2. No common corporate identity, no proper brand management : "stick to old brands"
                                          1. Quickly start bidding on asian car firms
