The metamorphosis of Marchionne

Buongiorno,

recently I have often wondered what happened to Marchionne, the manager in that sweater a few years ago he took the reins of Fiat and had begun to heal with the almost unanimous support of all the Italian social partners (including myself), and now it is antagonizing increasing proportion of the people.

And maybe I answered as to why the loss of sympathy of the manager.

Initially his strategy seemed to be focused on the enhancement of know-how, greetings to suppliers who had replaced the company in managing the core business by blocking the development of Fiat, renewed attention to the product, pressure on sales

Then ... the crisis something breaks, creating a problem and two opportunities. The problem is obviously the contraction of the market for the product. They sell less cars, especially without incentives. Fiat, in a languishing market, choose not to come out with new models and wait for better times, and stops. Paradoxically

opportunities created by the crisis and undermining relations between Marchionne and Italy, until then good. The crisis in fact allows Marchionne to impose the closure of unprofitable plants as Termini Imerese. The rationale is that unless you sell and you have to cut out the deadwood. The choice is not like it but somehow digested.

But once resized Fiat, Marchionne took advantage of sale of Chrysler to create a corporate structure with a production exceeding market demand. Initially involved only business organization (eg by asking the U.S. dealers to keep open on Saturdays to increase sales). Then, playing on the potential overproduction requires the other plants (both Italian and foreign) contract terms particularly heavy. In Italy only Pomigliano initially motivating the changes with the very specific situation of the plant, but later also involving Mirafiori. In the U.S. with economic conditions, especially for new recruits (perhaps he thought that Italian export the bad habits could be a good idea) prolific. The

mechanism remains the same: we have an excess capacity for which alternatives are always cut wages / guarantees for workers or close.

As a final step we see the prospect of selling some shares of the Group (Alfa Romeo, Magneti Marelli ...) that could be a good starting point for rebuilding a strong core of revitalization. Consider that the mark of Arese are concerned that the German Volkswagen and Magneti Marelli is the Italian equivalent of Bosch, which the Fiat group sells patents for some time (the common rail to name one) of the main innovations motor that provides point. Greetings to the enhancement of know-how and brand name. Other trademarks

mostrano come, malgrado un blasone privo di particolare appeal, sia possibile innovare, uscire con nuovi prodotti e trarne redditività (vedi ad esempio Dr o Dacia con il modello Duster). Mentre in Fiat il problema è stato spostato dal rendere efficiente ed innovativa l'azienda al ridurre il monte stipendi degli operai. Che però sul prodotto finale incide solo per il 6%. Come dire che stiamo lottando con i dipendenti per ridurre il costo di una utilitaria di cento euro. Non credo siano quelle le cifre che spostano i compratori, ma mandano in crisi i lavoratori.

Quando Marchionne ha preso in mano Fiat era un manager di scuola americana, ed ha iniziato a lavorare sull'azienda a tutto campo. Adesso è diventato un manager molto più italiano, limitato ad contenere il costo del lavoro. L'unica originalità e che non chiede contributi, ma, nel nome del mercato, di essere esentato dal rispetto di regole comuni e condivise. Cosa che tedeschi e francesi non fanno. Probabilmente è per questo che era più simpatico prima. E paradossalmente è per questo che otteneva migliori risultati prima.

Ciao

Paolo
