All car enthusiasts would know that Dodge is not just a car, it’s a philosophy. It is an attitude and a trendsetter at that. It has quite a few impressive credentials too, for a car company. It has starred in movies, it has invented a word and has helped in the fight of two foreign armies. They were driving Dodges too. In this space, we have eight more impressive things you did not know about Dodge.

The Jeep wowed America with its amazing ingenuity. From the way it was built, to the purposes it served, this “modern marvel” has impacted life as a whole since its debut. Jeep has revolutionized the way motor vehicles are made. The Jeep was a major part of the 1900s to now in many ways.

Marchionne laid out his plan for Chrysler in great detail. He had discussed his plan and revealed in detail the products by segment and brand that he would revamp for the next five year. Mr. Marchionne also planned on boosting Chrysler by revamping their marketing and advertising strategy (Taylor, 2009).

The original Jeep only took a couple of days to design. It was created due to the need for the American troops to drive a small, light, four-wheel vehicle during WWII—that’s how the Bantam Pilot was born, two years prior to the iconic Willys MB.

On February 2, 2018 at approximately 1950 hours, I observed a 2006 Chrysler utility vehicle bearing Florida tag HWHB51 exiting the Walmart parking lot located at 8701 US HWY 19 Port Richey, FL. The vehicle made a right turn at a posted left turn only exit. I observed the Chrysler to not have an operational tag light. I initiated my unmarked patrol vehicle’s (116) emergency equipment in an effort to conduct a lawful traffic stop in the area of US HWY 19 and Ridge RD.

Prior to Sergio Marchionne’s arrival, it appeared Chrysler Group LLC, organizational culture consisted of reacting “to falling sales by slashing prices” (Kreitner and Kinicki, 2013). Due to reduced sales volume, Chrysler had experienced major financial issues, including bankruptcy reorganization. The observable artifacts that I would suspect prior to Marchionne’s arrival would be massive advertisements endorsing Chrysler rebates, vehicle discounts, and slashed prices. After Marchionne got upset about the sales team “giving away margin”, he had to shake up the organization culture and transform the company’s way of thinking. Chrysler had to do something if it was ever going to get back to a profitable state.

The minivan market is certainly a small one, with just over 500,000 units sold in recent years. In 2000, just before the crossover SUV craze took hold, manufacturers sold a record 1.37 million units according to Bloomberg. In 2009, that number plummeted to just 415,000 models sold, due in part to an overall collapse in vehicle sales.

“Artifacts are the physical manifestations of an organization. They include factors such as dress codes, myths, rituals, and tangible items such as awards, product displays, logos, furnishings and decor. Observable artifacts represent the more visible level of culture within the organization” (ejlister, 2015).

The Chrysler minivan is back. Not that it ever left, but the previous models were overshadowed by the Toyota Sienna and Honda Odyssey. Not anymore. The all-new 2017 Chrysler Pacifica is as good as any model out there and with its stow ’n go seating, it provides a feature that its competitors simply do not match.

Perhaps the business is considered medium-sized because there are over 100 employees. Although technically speaking the federal government recognizes a large business over 100 employees. Regardless, the company can afford to offer two different forms of health insurance. The current perspective client for the medium-size business is the La Fontaine dealership, which offers a variety of vehicles from Ford to Toyota. LaFontaine dealership currently employs 250 people. The first perspective plan that the company could offer the employees is a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan. The projected costs for the employer to have this insurance per month are $36,000. The employer will pass on 30% of the costs to each employee, thus, each employee would pay $108 every month or $54 on their biweekly paycheck. Overall, it equals to just $1296 for the year, which still falls below the $2000 maximum allowed from the ACA. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan PPO is constructed in such a way that the ACA considers it a Silver plan because it covers 80% of the healthcare costs with just 20% of the cost being placed on the enrollee. The resource-based relative value scale (RBRVS) will pay the physicians in this plan in a fee-for-service system. If the enrollee stays with and preferred provider network, then the services will be covered at 80% with the patient only paying a 20% coinsurance provided that they have met their deductible of $1500 or $3000
