Tucker: The Man and His Dream
When starting an entrepreneur venture, many things are important to the success of ones product or service and the movie Tucker The Man and His Dream shows many of the goods and bads, ups and downs. Beginning with an idea, entrepreneurs have to take careful steps and cover all areas of the process in order to accomplish their dreams. In Tuckers case, with a revolutionary idea and motivation like know other, he had an excellent opportunity to change the car industry and went for it. Throughout the movie he made very strong moves, and some not so good ones that ultimately restrained him from his hopes. Initially, Tuckers car concepts including an engine in the rear, shatter proof glass, and seatbelts were all something never see before.
In addition to those features the automobile had plans of going over 130mph and the capacity to get 20 miles to the gallon. It had a futuristic view like no other car of its time and was appealing to many. With all this, it seemed that Tucker was going to shoot his way to the top with no one stopping him. The opportunity presented to Tucker and his crew had success written all over it but after many obstacles everyone realized that developing a corporation wasn’t as easy as they planned. When creating something with such new innovations, entrepreneurs need to assure that what they have built and the process required is measurable, which Tucker failed to do. He presented a drawing with good ideas but had little knowledge on everything that went into constructing the futuristic car. Instead of building the car first and making necessary adjustments to the parts and issues, Tucker decided to take the idea right to the public, which eventually would end up hurting him. Tucker also was granted the opportunity to take over the largest factory building in the US, located in Chicago under the conditions that he have 50 cars built by the end of his first year with a certain amount of money in assets.
