Getting My MBA at 48

Home at Last

I has been a long interesting day, I got called in to do a Los Angeles turn, meet some really nice people, and got some great ideals in the process.

Waiting for the flight to San Francisco, I brought the new Fortune, with Steve Job on the cover. There were actually 2 great articles one about the CEO of  Quicken Loans, about how he is moving his companies headquarters to downtown Detroit fro Livonia, love it. It is about time some people think about what the city has to offer. The other is of course about Steve Job CEO of Apple, what more can I say I have always had an Apple computer, so check out the articles.

Sitting on the flight back to San Francisco  I was reading the Wall Street Journal, I liked the article about Saab, and the deal failing through with Koenigsegg Group and had a great ideal.

Ok first, I don’t believe that a company should just cut and run, you can never shrink your way to profitability.

What I would do is take Saab from GM, then I would get Vovlo from Ford create a Swedish Car Comapny, with Saab and Vovlo as the brands for the new company. Redo the car structure for both, up to 6 models in each house 2 luxury, 2 mid-sedans, and 2 sub-compact offer hybrids of each division and make the sub-comapcts hip like Toyota’s Scion brand.

There is a lot more to my plan, that I have been hatching out since I read the article, actually I have been thinking about it since GM went into bankruptcy. But I have pretty much made Saab and Vovlo into the next Hottest car line in a matter of hours.

As you can tell I didn’t get much studying done since I was flying all day, and I can’t read the textbook because it is online.

But tomorrow is Thanksgiving and it will be a beautiful day to spent with family and friends.

I wish the Best for all in this Holiday Season.
