11 Case Study:
During a recession period in the United State, CEO of the General Motor Ford and Chrysler
commonly decided that it is not worthwhile to close down some of the operating plants and lay
off workers. It is rather cheaper to sell cars to rental companies at lower prices even at a loss to
lay off workers. This is because the recession ? auto sales slump is a temporary phenomenon
and once recovery period begin, restarting of a closed down plant would be more expensive.
Further layoff would mean a high compensation to be paid to the workers when their services are
terminated, under the union contract.

In other words CEO?s observed loss of profit in sales (Ls1) would be lesser than the costs of lay
out and again additional cost in re-opening of the closed plants (CS2)
LS1 > CS2
LS1 = Strategy1 i.e selling at loss
CS2 = Strategy2 i.e lay off workers
It is therefore better to select the strategy1 rather than2, selection of strategy2 is not desirable as
it would shatter the image of the company as one of the best employer
Questions:
(a) What is the decision making problem of CEO?s of general Motor?
(b) What course of action thought out by CEO?
(c) What is strategy2?
(d) Which strategy is suitable for the automobile industry?
