Antonio Lettieri WITHOUT WORDS: THE LEFT AT THE FOOT OF MARCHIONNE [1] lucid analysis of the real strategy of Marchionne.

There is something sadly ironic in the way
Marchionne has divided the Democratic Party, in addition to the unions. Susanna Camusso,
Marchionne has revealed an authoritarian attitude and undemocratic,
in other words, blackmail. For part of the Democratic Party is, on the contrary,
a reminder of the realities of globalization and the need to adapt the strategy of
union. The only objection to this position is the exclusion of Fiom
from employee representation. Objection
sacrosanct - it would be amazing to the contrary - but insufficient. This
is just the tip of the iceberg. To think

Marginalized by the large U.S. market is not surprising that when Barack Obama decided

Marchionne as to be able to boost
"Three large" in Detroit, the company is acquiring control
of his life. And as the Fiat will play a complementary role and, in some respects
, residual.
Let's try to summarize some data. In 2010, Chrysler has produced
approximately one million cars (and light trucks). In the middle of this decade
had produced more than two million.
Marchionne has set a target to reach 2.8 million, slightly less than triple
current production by 2014. For most analysts are skeptical
an unrealistic goal. But in the key strategic
Marchionne is a main objective to achieve the goal
of five and a half million to six million units set for the alliance
Chrysler. In the strategic plan of
Marchionne, the most important branch of the Fiat group
is Brazil, where Fiat is one of the producers
number one, ahead of Volkswagen and General Motors. Not surprisingly,
for Betim factory on the outskirts of Belo Horizonte, which is
one of the largest automobile factories in the world, has earmarked investments Fiat
help to increase production capacity to one million units. Another
factory will be built in the state of Pernambuco to 200 thousand units. With a
million two hundred thousand cars, double that in 2010
built in Italy, Fiat consolidated its leadership in the Brazilian market. If
it will be in Detroit, with Chrysler, the lead
alliance, Brazil will become the most popular website
important of the Fiat group. If two-thirds of the production plan
entrusted to Chrysler and the Brazilian arm of Fiat,
Europe can not lie a supporting role
with different variables. Poland will consolidate its position with a
production of 600,000 units in Tychy. The "draft Serbia",
for which there is an agreement with the Serbian government that gives the
two thirds of the property to Fiat and third to the state, provides a scheme
production of 200,000 units in the
plants restored the old Zastava.
100,000 more units are in production in Bursa in Turkey.
What remains of the grand plan "global" Chrysler-Fiat (a
from the current 600,000 units, but the Alfa Romeo should go to
Volkswagen) will be distributed among
Italian plants, depending on the circumstances and
conveniences.
not surprising that Marchionne waste

Compared to the Fiat killeraggio globalization

is a flimsy excuse. Toyota, Volkswagen, Ford and GM, as the group
PSA and Renault are French companies 'global'
that produce and sell in different continents, but nobody would dream of denying
that, first, the undertakings which the
reference centers, research and development are
Japan, Germany, the United States and France.
In 2010 the Fiat Group has placed on the EU market European
approximately one million cars, the two largest groups

The basic gross salary of the workers of the assembly line is

problem is not globalization, but the Americanization of

But there is something more, something sadly grotesque. Among

trivially demagogic reasons according to the major paradigms
of globalization and modernization. Yet this is the
trade union. In any case, just ask if
Marchionne could present its draft
