The two most important issues that Lincoln Electric is faced with are as follows. First‚ the inability to meet customer demand because of the shortages in supply creates opportunities for competing firms to enter the industry. What resources and capabilities does Lincoln Electric have that can mitigate this threat of entry. Second‚ the emphasis put on the monetary incentive plan leaves the company vulnerable in economic hardships. How can Lincoln Electric continue to encourage competition and quality

1 ELECTRIC MOTORS I. Introduction Electric motors are considered to be important mechanical devices. They usually convert the electrical energy coming from the mechanical device into its kinetic energy to make it work (Petingco and Resurreccion‚ 2011). In this exercise‚ the students were tasked to use an example of an electric motor‚ identify its parts‚ and make it work. All electrical motors are equipped with stator and rotor. Stator is known as the stationary part of an electric motor

Lincoln Electric How would you describe Lincoln’s approach to the organization and motivation of their employee? I believe their motivation and organization is very one sided. I feel like their motivation is solely monetary based. Their compensation policy motivates workers by paying them based on output but also fosters complacency as they are guaranteed employment. They provide personal feedback based on a merit score but only positive high ranking numbers are rewarded‚ there are no consequences

is to use the electric motor instead of gasoline one. An electric car is a car that powered by an electric motor rather than a regular gasoline engine. There are several major differences between gasoline and electric cars. First of all‚ “the electric motor will replace the gasoline engine” (“How Electric”‚ 2004). Secondly‚ “the electric motor is powered by a controller” (“How Electric”‚ 2004). Thirdly‚ “the controller gets power from the rechargeable batteries” (“How Electric”‚ 2004). In
