| Research and Markets: Orient Semiconductor Electronics - SWOT ... - Earthtimes Posted: 04 Mar 2010 03:22 AM PST DUBLIN - (Business Wire) Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/69e698/orient_semiconduct) has announced the addition of the "Orient Semiconductor Electronics - SWOT Framework Analysis" company profile to their offering. SWOT Analysis, is a strategic planning tool used to evaluate the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats involved in a project or in a business venture. It involves specifying the objective of the business venture or project and identifying the internal and external factors that are favorable and unfavorable to achieving that objective. The aim of any SWOT analysis is to identify the key internal and external factors that are important to achieving the objective. SWOT analysis groups key pieces of information into two main categories: Internal factors - The strengths and weaknesses internal to the organization. External factors - The opportunities and threats presented by the external environment. The internal factors may be viewed as strengths or weaknesses depending upon their impact on the organization's objectives. What may represent strengths with respect to one objective may be weaknesses for another objective. The factors may include all of the 4P's; as well as personnel, finance, manufacturing capabilities, and so on. The external factors may include macroeconomic matters, technological change, legislation, and socio-cultural changes, as well as changes in the marketplace or competitive position. The results are often presented in the form of a matrix. SWOT analysis is just one method of categorization and has its own weaknesses. For example, it may tend to persuade companies to compile lists rather than think about what is really important in achieving objectives. It also presents the resulting lists uncritically and without clear prioritization so that, for example, weak opportunities may appear to balance strong threats. Key Topics Covered: A. Executive Summary B. A Brief Profile of the Company C. SWOT Framework Analysis D. Glossary of Terms For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/69e698/orient_semiconduct

| Minnesota business by the numbers - Minneapolis Star Tribune Posted: 03 Mar 2010 07:15 PM PST SAN JOSE, Calif. - Toyota said Wednesday it will spend $250 million to assist employees at a Northern California factory slated to be closed next month. Toyota Motor Corp., which is working to repair its image in the U.S. following recalls and congressional hearings, said the bonuses are for salaried and hourly workers at Fremont-based New United Motor Manufacturing Inc. who will lose their jobs when production halts there on April 1. The facility, California's sole remaining automobile assembly plant, started 25 years ago as a joint venture between Toyota and General Motors Co. The goal was that the American automaker observe the Japanese car-making system up close and Toyota could test out its model on U.S. workers. GM pulled out last year and is liquidating its stake. Toyota announced in August that without GM, it could not sustain the factory and it would halt production there. About 4,600 people work at the plant, which makes the Corolla sedan and Tacoma pickup. Production of the Corolla will move to Canada and Japan, while production of the Tacoma will move to a plant in Texas, said Mike Goss, a Toyota spokesman. Goss said Toyota hopes to be able to eventually move the Corolla back to the U.S. The announcement from Toyota about the bonuses came the same day a study was released analyzing the economic impact of closing the plant. The study was prepared by Harley Shaiken, a labor professor at the University of California, Berkeley, for a commission led by California Treasurer Bill Lockyer, who has been pressing Toyota officials to reconsider the decision to stop production in Fremont. Lockyer argues that besides the job losses, it's not in Toyota's best interest to leave the plant when it is already struggling to regain public support following recalls over safety issues.
