  1. The prevailing stereotype about Germans is that they are renowned for their incredible orderliness, punctuality, and work ethic. Several indicators seem to show that this has paid off for them over the years.   By a measure of worker productivity per euro spent, Germany became 13 % more competitive against its neighbors in the 11 years through 2009.
  2. Social Policies- Much more difficult to lay off workers in Germany   Instead of laying off workers (and have to then go through the costly process of rehiring and retraining workers when the economy gets better), many German companies chose to simply cut some employees' hours, promising them that their hours would be increased once the economy had improved.

  4. Define the Mittelstand 70% family owned 70% located, small rural communities 98% privately owned 99%of all companies in Germany this size Employs 70% of the german work force   Split into several companies --- so each can perfectionistically focus on just 1 gadget   Several companies may work interdependently to create pieces necessary for a factory machine, for example   Mittelstand-- - Term coined by Hermann Simon in the early 1990's in his book -German economist and professor - became known    Define the Mittelstand Split into several companies --- so each can perfectionistically focus on just 1 gadget Several companies may work interdependently to create pieces necessary for a factory machine, for example
  5. Why are they hidden champions? Hidden bec they are b2b Of the 1500 german world market leading companies, 90% are b2b. This graph shows the 90% that are b2b. Shows the industrial distribution *change to red version 1300 of these 1500 world market leading companies are mittelstand companies 98% of all mittelstand companies are privately sectors of leading companies in the world market Machine equipment = mittelstand This B2B slide explains a lot of things including the fact that they remained behind the scenes, out of the public eye, simply because they didn't need to be in the public eye in order to do business.   **add B2B
  6. lots of overlap   - strategy- specialized, 1 or 2 in their global market   -governance- family owned, professional management operational effectiveness- innovation in niche
  7. we found in a study that these companies have a higher management satisfaction   unique combo-- family- survival, long-term is key less risky, relentless customer service extended family feel with emotional attachment professional outlook-  state of the art management flat hierarchy 70% located, small rural communities Apprenticeships, retention, keep talent within - Internship equivalent in high school, **add more
  8. Porter does not specifically address "niche markets" and a "hyperfocus" on one superior product.   However, the 5 strategic forces describe many of the elements of the Mittelstand's success such as: -a minimal threat of substitutes  -a minimal threat of new entrants -bargaining power of the supplier -Limited bargaining power of customers -Low intensity or non-existant rivalry   Leads to high profit potential     THIS SLIDE IS VERY CLUTTERED
  9. Source: http://welkerswikinomics.wetpaint.com/page/Monopoly+demand     Critical to understanding the profit maximization of the monopolist is remembering that the monopolist is the industry because it is the sole producer.   Therefore the monopolist confronts a downward-sloping demand curve. The industry demand curve is the firm’s demand curve.   For the Mittelstand, monopolistic ventures are temporary. Therefore, they are 'quasi-monopolistic'.   MR is optimized when unit-elastic   Market Structure: Quasi-Monopoly Temporary Monopoly due to  Differentiation Industry Demand Curve same as the firm's demand curve MR < Price (always) MR         as Q Note where e d = 1, Unit-Elastic   Mittelstand Niche market behaviors match the demand curve precisely: less is more quality over quantity  
  10. The political and cultural environment in Germany allows the MIttelstand to succeed. They think in the long term instead of the short term. Since they are family owned, they are  more concerned with the survival of the company instead of maximizing profits and expansion. They have a narrow focus with a global orientation. They are constantly innovating in order to function as a quasi monopoly.  Because of this specialization it is hard to imitate this type of business. They operate in a quasi monopolistic market structure because of their devotion to innovation creating barriers to entry. 
  11. focused differentiation, niche concentrated resources cost isn't always the most important, offer value to customers, build relationships constant incremental innovation, constant improvement love of the business,  the corporate culture created allows for sustainable companies who can bounce back and recover from an economic recession The medium sized businesses are ideal because they are small enough to have the "family owned" feel while being big enough to have enough resources to be innovating and compete globally.
