Question #1: As we learned in prior classes, the first step of implementing strategic management is environmental scanning. Please conduct some general web search to determine, as of 2007, if the United States auto market would be attractive to Chery. [You can look at the growth of cars sold in the united around that period]
Question #2: If Chery were to go solo (without having a partner) in entering the United States to market its compact passenger vehicles, what would be the biggest selling point? And please evaluate the potential challenges it would face vis-à-vis the following aspects
Production
Marketing
Institutional relation (environmental and regulatory)
The speed of entry into the U.S
Question #3: Based on Case (A), what could Chrysler get out of the intended alliance with Chery? (benefits) Would there be any unintended consequences for Chrysler? (risks)
Question #4: Case (B) mentioned Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) and BMW both entered through forming a joint venture with local partners. Why would they pursue such an entry mode
Question #5: Please suggest an alternative mode of entry to Chery with justifications.

The advocacy group the National Safety Council (NSC) reports that cell phone use while driving leads to 1.6 million crashes each year and an astounding out of every 4 car accidents in the United States is caused by texting and driving. Hoping to show that their campaign to create awareness about the dangers of distracted driving is working and that less people are texting and driving, the advocacy group the National Safety Council (NSC) did a study of accidents that occurred in states in which they ran public service announcements and states that they did not. Using the data below, test the hypothesis, at a 95% Confidence Level, that the NSC public service announcements cause a decrease in the average number of crashes. States with NSC Public Service Announcements States without NSC Public Service Announcements n1 = 20 states n2 = 30 states x ̅1 = 785,000 accidents x ̅2 = 815,000 accidents σ1 = 12,000 accidents σ2 = 11,000 accidents Please show all 6 steps of your work.
