Airbus 380
Airbus is with Boeing the best construction company for airplanes in the world. Airbus made the A380, which is the most known plane in the world. The A380 is from Airbus, and just one product of many. They made other known airplanes like the A320 series, which include the A318, A319, A320 and the A321. But there are also other ones, like the A330 series. Their main seat is in Toulouse.
Airbius was founded 1965. Airbus was created by many german small firms to create one big one with all their ingeniers working together. After a few years also the famous airplane fokker joined Airbus. Their goal was to bring competetive airplanes to the market next to boeing and McDonell Douglas. Nowadays they reached their goal and is together with Boeing the best airplane makers with distance in the world. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus

The slogan of Airbus is "leading aircraft manufacturer", which is also their goal. They had another slogan, but the company virgin atlantic had airbus removed theirs because it was copied, but there was never proof. Till 2003 their slogan was "setting the standards" and changed their slogan than into "New standards. Together." This was their motto till 2009, then they changed it again, but the slogan was then removed by virgin atlantic, but stayed anyway till 2012. Then after 2012 their slogan is "leading aircraft manufacturer. http://www.slogans.de/slogans.php?BSelect[]=3605
The sales of A-380 are growing. At the moment there are more 747 from Boeing, but not for long anymore because companies are they all replacing them for the A-380, because of the modernity. So Boeingshould as quickly as possible made another plane which could be concurreny of the A380, because the shares of this airplane is shooting into the stars. Airbus has much more companies who want the A380 than they can build.

The target market of Airbus of the A-380 is obviously big airlines like Lufthansa, British Airways or AirFrance. Their target market are big airlines, because the A-380 is quite expensive, which only big airlines could afford. The other thing is that small airlines anyway wouldn't buy the A-380 because they are more flying nationally instead of globally. Airbus also chose the big airlines, because they all have the 747, which are actually they're the main planes of big airlines, because they have a big capacity and can fly around the world. And because the 747 is in the past in criticis, big airlines are buying the Airbus 380.
In this market, airbus has only one competitor, wich is Boeing. Airbus and Boeing are with distance the biggest airplane constructors in the world. It might be that Boeing has a better share on the market at the moment, but it is always different. It almost changes every month. There are ofcourse also other airplane constructors than Boeing and Airbus, but not as big as those two. So it is nearly impossible for a new company to get invloved with Boeing and Airbus, because they already have the experience, technology, image and ofcourse money to build the best airplanes in the world.

Super Bowl 2015
Super Bowl 2015: Watch All the Commercials From This Year
The superbowl is one of the biggest highlights next to the champions leugue final in the world. The superbowl 2015 had more than 112 million viewers over the whole world. A 30 second advertisement costs about 4.5 million dollars. But it's worth it, because this means that more than 100 million people watch the advertisement.
This is about strategy. You need to have much money and the company needs to be famous when it really should work. And strategy is important because they should act wisely, because 4.5 million dollars for 30 seconds advertisement is eally expenisve, even for big companies. Also ethics plays a role. Is it ethical right that a channel who already has 112 million viewers, which will be absolute record in America and the channel makes already so much money by the viewers. So is it ethical right that the channel cashes in other millions by a 30 second advertisment. At least also globalisation plays a role, because all the people in the world is watching this. So companies have the chance through advertisement for 30 seconds to present thier product aorund the world.

China stocks sink on lending curbs
China's main share index fell by the most since 2008 after authorities
cracked down on margin trading, where investors borrow cash to buy
shares.
China's main index crashed. It had fallen 8%, with banking stocks among the worst-hit. It was that index where investors borrow cash to buy new shares. Now the investors can't get borrow new money for three months now, which is terrible for the economic in China, because the bought of shares are a main income, and shares can't be bought because the investors cannot borrow money to buy new shares.
When China's main index crashed, China couldn't do business with other countries. This affects globalization, because China is one of the countries with the biggest economies because of their population. Now China needs to find a new way to balance that icome which they normally have from the bought shares. This has to do with strategy, because they need for the next 3 months a new source of income.

The firms are "multi-national conglomerate" and is operating in more than 50 countries.
This has to do with globalisation, because the firms are multinational and they operate in more than 50 countries. This post is also about strategy, because his shares went up by 14% and 12%, which has something to with his strategy which worked.

work experience BMW
BMW (Bayerische Moteren Werke) is an AG (Aktiengesellschaft). The head of BMW is located in Munich, but Leipzig has one of the biggest costruction sites of BMW in the world. In addition, the famous i-project from BMW is builded here. It was constructed 2005 and is today 208 Hectare big.
BMW is in selling cars. They costruct every 76 sec. one car, which makes a total of around 750 cars per day. BMW is also a partnership with MINI and RolceRoyce. BMW is one of the leading companies in selling cars. The BMW mission statement is to provide the best quality for there costumers for cheap prices. At the work placement they told me that BMW has actually vision statements. But the main vision statement is that the whole world drives a car from BMW. But for the new i-project, the vision statement is to be the leading organization in selling electric automobils and make a change in the world for the "green". As already told, BWM wants to make a big change in the natural environment and wants to sell only electric cars in the further future. And this with success. For the next years, the new i-project is already sold out. So BMW can and will make a change in the natural environment. Maybe they started a domino effect which now also other comapnies might find attractive.
The stakeholders of this company are as always the managers and directors as well as the employees, these people will all try to gain something out of this business, that being a profit. The customers will want to be provided with good products for a good price, therefore they will want BMW to improve their cars without increasing their price. The shareholders of this company will also want BMW to make a profit so that the shareholders will get a proft as well and the value of their shares increase. Lastly, the competitors will want to sell more cars than BMW and will therefore be interested in developing newer and better technologies quicker than BMW.
There are many links between this company and our syllabus and the 6 key points. One of these points would be innovation which can be seen in the development of the new i-project which is environmental friendly and will hopefully globalise so that there will be no more cars that damage the environment. As well as that, this will also induce change throughout the world and make it better, which is also ethically correct. This shows that BMW is also concerned with its ethical behaviour and tries to establish a good image.
I have gained a lot of experience at this work placement. I also think I understood the concept of BMW, and because I liked it there and I feel an interest towards cars and have the know-how for this sort of work experience. But anyway, some numbers really shocked me, e.g. that BMW every 76 seconds a car finishes. My car doesn't feel as important anymore, because I imagined this different. But I learned a lot at this work experience and had fun the 2 days.

Bilfinger Hochbau Work experience
Bilfinger Hochbau is just one of many "daughters" of the head firm Bilfinger SE. It is located near Messegelände, Walter-Köhn-Strasse 4a, 04356 Leipzig. The company is a german stock company, so a cooperation. The mission statement of Blfinger SE is providing our clients with highest level of quality. Therefor, their vision statement is to become the leading construction firm in the world. Their aims and objectives are to strenghten and repostion our corporate brand Bilfinger. And because of the new daughter companies Bilfinger Power Systems and Bilfinger Services, it can uses their financial strenght and operate potential for the next phase in its development. Supported by the strategic programs BEST (Bilfinger Escalates Strength) and Bilnger Excellence, output volume could grow 12bn. euros by 2016 and net profit will increase to about 400 Million euros. The organization of Bilfinger SE is organized decentrally. "Bilfinger SE is a holding
without its own business activities. The operating activities are
carried out through subsidiaries which act on the market as independent
profit centers."
Bilfinger SE is a complex system with many departments. There is one head department, Bilfinger SE. Bilfinger SE is then devided into four other "daughter" companies: Bilfinger Industry, Bilfinger Energy, Bilfinger Real Estate and Bilfinger infrastructure. Bilfinger Industry is then devided into 6 other companies: Bilfinger Industrial Maintenance (also devided into four departments: Bilfinger maintenance, Bilfinger chemieserv, Bilfinger IS Schweiz and Bilfinger industrial services Inc.); Bilfinger insulation, scaffolding and painting; Bilfinger oil and gas (also devided into three departments: Bilfinger salamis group UK, Bilfinger salamis inc., Bilfinger industrier group); Bilfinger industrial fabrication and installation; Bilfinger engineering, automation and controland automation (also devided into two departments: Bilfinger GreyLogix, Bilfinger tebodin group); Bilfinger Support services. Bilfinger Energy is devided into three other companies: Bilfinger power systems, Bilfinger piping systems and Bilfinger offshore systems and grids (also devided into three departments: Bilfinger marine and offshore systems, Bilfinger mars offshore and Bilfinger FRB). Bilfinger real estate is devided into four departments: Bilfinger buidling (also devided into four departments: Bilfinger hochbau, Bilfinger modernbau, Bilfinger tesch and Bilfinger wolfferts gebäudetechnik), Bilfinger facility services (also devided into three departments: Bilfinger HSG facility management, Bilfinger Haus- und Wärmetechnik and Bilfinger ahr healthcare and services), Bilfinger real estate and Bilfinger water technology. At least Bilfinger infrastructure is devided into two departments: Bilfinger construction and Bilfinger infrastructure. This is related to our business class, because Bilfinger used the horizontal and vertical integration to expand their company.
Bilfinger is not really affected by the environment, because the permission to build in a certain area already needs to be provided by their customers. Bilfinger is only slightly affected by the natural environment. On the construction side, where they build the three villa's, they had to build around some specific and endangered trees, because they are protected by the city.
In this organisation there are multiple stakeholders such as the shareholders, customers, employees, managers and owners of the company. As well as that, the government and certain pressure groups are likely to show an interest in what the company builds, where these buildings will be located and what environment and people are affected by them.
The Bilfinger Hochbau Company also relates to the topics of change and innovation seeing as that it is their job to reconstruct different buildings. This means that they put a lot of time and effort into planning and carrying out their projects and that they try to change something about their surroundings or the surroundings of others.
From working at this company I have learnt a lot of new things about construction and I thought it was very interesting, especially the meeting with HSEQ (Health Safety Environment Quality), but I still can't imagine doing something like this or working in this industry in the future.
