American Enterprise in Foreign Markets Studies of Singer and International Harvester in Imperial Russia

In 1914 the two largest firms in Russia were subsidiaries of American companies. Remarkably, they were almost as large as their parent companies, striking testimony to the potential of the underdeveloped Russian market. Fred Carstensen provides detailed histories of the movement of International Harvester and Singer into this new, profitable, and somewhat forbidding territory.<br> <br> <br> <br> Describing how both sales organizations evolved in Russia, Carstensen relates their development to overall company histories, worldwide growth, changing sales strategies and structures, recruitment and training of employees, and corporate leadership in America and abroad. He finds that both firms entered the Russian market because they needed new outlets to sustain high levels of production and sales. Although there are parallels in their experiences, Carstensen identifies how the responses of the two corporations differed, reflecting the varying strategies and perceptions of company management.<br> <br> <br> <br> Together the case studies provide a test for many of the supposed qualities and patterns of Russian economic history. Contrary to accounts of the experiences of other companies, these firms found the Russian market remarkably rich, developing a level of sales that might have surpassed the American market if war had not erupted. In contrast to the standard view of foreign enterprise, neither company came to Russia because of government invitation or influence but rather because of the intrinsic attractiveness of the markets, and neither firm found the government bureaucracy graft-ridden or the customers dishonest.<br> <br> <br> <br> Carstensen shows that International Harvester and Singer Sewing Machine clearly influenced Russia in a positive way. Both trained large numbers of Russians in modern industrial and marketing procedures and both provided an extraordinary volume of credit on comparatively easy terms to encourage purchase of their products. Indeed, the success of their approach suggests that Russian economic development may have been limited not by weak aggregate demand but by the relative absence of sources of credit.<br> <br> <br> <br> Originally published in 1984.<br> <br> <br> <br> A UNC Press Enduring Edition -- UNC Press Enduring Editions use the latest in digital technology to make available again books from our distinguished backlist that were previously out of print.

John Deere's Company - Volume 1 From the Steel Plow to the Tractor 1837-1927

<p>The history of Deere & Company is several stories at once. It is the saga of an American folk hero remembered as the man "who gave to the world the steel plow." John Deere's Company - Volume 1 is the story of rural and small-town America from the time eastern farmers began moving into the Midwest in the early 1800s, through the American industrial revolution of the late 19th and up to the creation of the first John Deere tractors. </p> <p>It is also the story of an uncommon family whose members for 145 years directed the destiny of one of America's oldest business firms--now the largest agricultural machinery manufacturer in the world--until the first nonfamily member, Robert Hanson, was named chief executive officer of Deere in 1982.</p> <p>The story follows the company's role in the extraordinary growth of the American agricultural economy; its role in the discovery and application of major innovations in machinery and manufacturing methods; and, finally, its role in the sharing of that technology throughout the world.</p> <p>Those roles were influenced by the Populist movement in the 19th century, by the early attempts of unions to organize the farm implement industry, and by the competitive tactics and strategies of industrial leaders whose companies battled each other for market share.</p> <p>Wayne Broehl has taken these several historic threads and woven them into this lively and absorbing historical account. The updated and revised book has been divided into two volumes, this is Volume 1.</p>

John Deere's Company - Volume 2 From Johnny Popper to the Iron Horses 1928-1982

<p><i>John Deere's Company</i> is an engaging two-volume narrative account of Deere's growth from its foundation by a blacksmith to its position as a dominant maker of agricultural machinery. This is Volume 2, which covers company history from 1928 to 1982--essentially from the Model GP tractor to the 40 Series tractors.</p><p>Author Wayne G. Broehl Jr. dedicated the better part of a decade to this work, and the comprehensive overview of John Deere is packed with details on the entire industry as well as insight into some of the most fascinating strategies, backroom deals, and near-miss acquisitions in agricultural company history.</p><p>The story follows the company's role in the extraordinary growth of the American agricultural economy, its role in the discovery and application of major innovations in machinery and manufacturing methods, and, finally, its role in the sharing of that technology throughout the world.</p><p>Readers are privy to intriguing backstories, including the partnership with Caterpillar, Charles Wiman's strategy for taking over the number one position in the agriculture industry, the collaboration with Yanmar, and the fascinating merger attempt with Fiat--as well as consideration of a joint venture with Deutz.</p><p>Broehl Jr. has woven these complex threads into a lively and absorbing historical account that is a must-read for anyone who loves the history of heavy machines and American industry.</p>

The 2006-2011 World Outlook for 2-And 4-Wheel Drive Farm Tractors

WHAT IS LATENT DEMAND AND THE P.I.E.?<br><br>The concept of latent demand is rather subtle. The term latent typically refers to something that is dormant, not observable, or not yet realized. Demand is the notion of an economic quantity that a target population or market requires under different assumptions of price, quality, and distribution, among other factors. Latent demand, therefore, is commonly defined by economists as the industry earnings of a market when that market becomes accessible and attractive to serve by competing firms. It is a measure, therefore, of potential industry earnings (P.I.E.) or total revenues (not profit) if a market is served in an efficient manner. It is typically expressed as the total revenues potentially extracted by firms. The “market” is defined at a given level in the value chain. There can be latent demand at the retail level, at the wholesale level, the manufacturing level, and the raw materials level (the P.I.E. of higher levels of the value chain being always smaller than the P.I.E. of levels at lower levels of the same value chain, assuming all levels maintain minimum profitability).<br><br>The latent demand for 2- and 4-wheel drive farm tractors is not actual or historic sales. Nor is latent demand future sales. In fact, latent demand can be lower either lower or higher than actual sales if a market is inefficient (i.e., not representative of relatively competitive levels). Inefficiencies arise from a number of factors, including the lack of international openness, cultural barriers to consumption, regulations, and cartel-like behavior on the part of firms. In general, however, latent demand is typically larger than actual sales in a country market.<br><br>For reasons discussed later, this report does not consider the notion of “unit quantities”, only total latent revenues (i.e., a calculation of price times quantity is never made, though one is implied). The units used in this report are U.S. d

The 2009-2014 World Outlook for Attachments for Farm-Type Wheel Tractors Excluding Attachments for Tractor Chassis Shipped As Part of Front Engine Design Tractor Shovel Loader/backhoes (NEHP)

This econometric study covers the world outlook for attachments for farm-type wheel tractors excluding attachments for tractor chassis shipped as part of front engine design tractor shovel loader/backhoes (NEHP) across more than 200 countries. For each year reported, estimates are given for the latent demand, or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.), for the country in question (in millions of U.S. dollars), the percent share the country is of the region and of the globe. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a country vis-à-vis others. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each country and across countries, latent demand estimates are created. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved. This study does not report actual sales data (which are simply unavailable, in a comparable or consistent manner in virtually all of the 230 countries of the world). This study gives, however, my estimates for the worldwide latent demand, or the P.I.E., for attachments for farm-type wheel tractors excluding attachments for tractor chassis shipped as part of front engine design tractor shovel loader/backhoes (NEHP). It also shows how the P.I.E. is divided across the world's regional and national markets. For each country, I also show my estimates of how the P.I.E. grows over time (positive or negative growth). In order to make these estimates, a multi-stage methodology was employed that is often taught in courses on international strategic planning at graduate schools of business.
