Focus• Is “Opel” strategy appropriate?
– Auto manufacturing industry attractiveness– Distinctive capabilities and competitive advantage– Current strategy and client base
• Examine alternative strategies that help mitigate downturn and help Magna grow in future
Thursday, 8 September, 11
• Opel is German automaker acquired by GM in 1929 -> now GM Europe’s largest brand– UK based Vauxhall – same cars with different
badging• Opel designs/models are sold
worldwide by GM under different brands
• Relatively strong financial performance
Opel-Vauxhall Background
Thursday, 8 September, 11
• Magna would control 55%– 35% owned by Russian's largest lender Serbank – Russian truck maker GAZ to provide “expertise”
• GM 35% stake. Opel employees 10%.• Minimize job loss and closures in Germany• Use idle plants to produce vehicles for other
manufacturers• Aim to increase production in current
facilities
Opel-Vauxhaul Deal
Thursday, 8 September, 11
• Expand passenger car business in Russia– Grow Opel share to 22% -> 700K cars/year
• Launch environmentally friendly small cars for untapped markets
• Create a platform to produce complete cars for other manufacturers
Opel-Vauxhall Strategy
Thursday, 8 September, 11
Company Overview• Founded by Frank Stronach in ‘57 as one
man tool and die shop. First parts contract in ’60– ‘70s & ‘80s: diversification, growth and constitution– ‘90s: geographic expansion and technology
innovation– ‘00s: drivetrain and full vehicle assembly
• Highly diversified global automotive supplier• Supplier to over 70 car brands globally• Strong dependence on Detroit 3 - 50%
revenue

Industry Analysis: Highlights and Trends
• Parts:– Strong dependence and knowledge share with OEM’s– OEM’s exerting pricing pressure and tougher terms– Increased consolidation of vehicle platforms– Increasing value in assembly and powertrain
• Auto:– Increasing demand in BRIC, shifting manufacturing– Government regulation and pressure for fuel
economy– R&D in electric and hybrid technologies
significant– Rising costs of raw material
Thursday, 8 September, 11
Internal Analysis: Current Strategy
• Parts and Geographic Diversification– Continually add capabilities and expand to growing
markets• Growth by Acquisition and Alliances
– Weak NA auto industry has required growth in Eurasia
• Forward Integration– Gain greater footing in value chain
• Develop “green” capabilities– Develop electric and hybrid technologies and vehicle
Thursday, 8 September, 11
Internal Analysis: Corporate• Extremely Decentralized
– Each division entrepreneurially run / shared destiny– High employee involvement & rich reward structure
• Good Labour Relations– “Framework of Fairness“ - No strike/No Lockout
policy– Worker constitution
• Very high worker productivity• Technological Innovation
– Committed R&D investments
Thursday, 8 September, 11
Option 1: Become Auto Manufacturer
• Stay on course to buy Opel and expand to acquire other complementary manufacturers with access to foreign markets
• Build own small cars and mid size cars for emerging markets and eco-friendly car for the NA market
• Become outsourcer of complete vehicle for larger base of customers and models
Thursday, 8 September, 11
Option 1: EvaluationBecome Auto Manufacturer
• Advantages– Access to growing markets and use of underutilized
plants to serve Europe– Leverage against declining auto sales– Ensure supplier relationship stand
• Disadvantages– Cannot translate competitive advantages to sector– No experience in marketing to end consumer– Conflict of interest with its customers
Thursday, 8 September, 11
Option 2: Maintain Supplier Focus
• Continue current strategy of diversified parts, full assembly in global markets
• Acquire (business from) weaker or failing competitors
• Establish further co-development deals with manufacturers– e.g. Deal with Ford to release electric vehicle in 2011
• Continue R&D in alternative energy
Thursday, 8 September, 11
Option 2: EvaluationMaintain Supplier Focus
• Advantages– Stick to core capabilities, model and resources– Partner to manufactures not competitor– Opportunity to become more integral to success of
Detroit 3 – increase power• Disadvantages
– Greater share of shrinking pie– Doesn’t hedge against failing manufacturers– Supplier margins are being squeezed
Thursday, 8 September, 11
Option 3: Backwards Integrate
• Acquire Tier 2 suppliers in North America– Consider global suppliers where it makes
sense• Joint venture or partnership with other
Tier 1 suppliers• Selective suppliers that support
lucrative and growing areas– Powertrain– Alternative energy
Thursday, 8 September, 11
Option 3: EvaluationBackwards Integration
• Advantages– Ensure survival of supply for current operations– Cut costs and extract greater profits in mid-term– mitigate OEM power and price pressures– Firms could be available at “bargain prices”
• Disadvantages– May not protect from growing costs of raw materials– Bucks trend of focus on higher value-added activities– Risky in a time where cash reserves are precious
Thursday, 8 September, 11
Recommendation Criteria• Mitigate against drop in sales of new cars• Allow for corporate culture to be infused
– Independent business, high productivity, constitution• Not threaten current or future base of client
– Have to navigate manufacturer waters carefully• Takes advantage of global presence and
trends
Thursday, 8 September, 11
Recommendation• Option 2: Maintain Supplier Focus
– Magna has resources to withstand industry shakedown and still invest in R&D
– Partly avoids travails of auto manufacturing where success requires customer and market insight
– Partnerships with OEM’s ensure mutual survival• Option 3: Backwards Integrate
– Ensure supply– Increase power with OEM’s
