GeMot is an automotive company, which started its operations in 1989 in Germany. A merger of General Cars and Automobile Motors, GeMot has assembly plants in Germany, Italy, Spain, and Portugal, and most recently in India, with a workforce of over 45,000 employees, producing 1.7 million units (2016), with revenue of almost $30 billion. Its specialty is “no-frills”, small, compact, fuel-efficient cars. The three founders are also co-directors, who head the company: designer and engineer Peter Hans, financial administrator Jean-Paul, and marketing manager Tom Norris, with neither holding titles such as “Chief” or “Director”, as they have a low-key management style. GeMot recently expanded its operations into India, by building a car factory there where it has been quite successful, thanks to a group of students from International Technological university, who assisted GeMot by researching India’s business environment and creating corporate programs specifically tailored for that country. India’s low labor costs and GeMot’s home country technology combined created strong competitive advantages to produce affordable cars that are distributed within India and to other Indo-Asia countries. To keep prices low, GeMot sells its cars directly to consumers, instead of paying commission to independent car dealers, and its customers can also benefit from direct financing and low-cost maintenance. However, GeMot may license sales to dealerships, if that proves to be more economical. To its workforce, the company offers generous employee benefits, which include education reimbursement and profit sharing (through 401-K investment accounts). Their founders stated the company’s mission as “A company that fosters integrity with a team-oriented work-force to develop and distribute forward-thinking automobiles, which compliment common people’s lifestyle, while respecting the environment and positively contributing to the community.” GeMot believes it will be a good match with the culture in the United States. GeMot prides itself on being a very “conscientious” business, going above and beyond a country’s legal requirements to protect society from both the impact of its manufacturing and cars’ emissions. GeMot has a robust, creative and expansive Corporate Social Responsibility and Ethical Business Compliance programs, which include guidelines from several government agencies and non-governmental organizations, both in Europe and India. GeMot extends its home country standards to its foreign and supply chain operations and would like now to expand its business into the United States by partnering with two of the most ethical automotive companies: Ford Motor and Cummins, Inc. GeMot intends to establish a Corporation and obtain stockholders to invest in its operations. GeMot’s directors hired your team to guide them in understanding the law aspects of business in the USA.
