ESSAY ON: BMW’s Fork in the Road

Number of Pages 8

This research paper: An 8 page memo written to Karl Gerlinger, president of BMW North America, dated December 31, 1992 (before BMW established manufacturing operations in the US). The memo is based on Harvard case #9-593-082, set at the end of 1992 when BMW’s management was seeking a method of achieving its goal of selling 100,000 BMWs in the United States annually. In 1992, that figure was 66,000. The memo suggests that BMW build a manufacturing facility in the US, proceeding to outline the benefits of such a decision, which include lower fixed and variable costs than possible to attain in Germany, as well as opportunity to avoid US import tariffs on foreign cars. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
