GBI Company History

Task Get to know the company’s history. Time 15 min

Short Description Read the below narrative to learn about the company’s history.

Notes
Global Bike Inc. has a pragmatic design philosophy that comes from its
deep roots in both the off-road trail racing and long-distance road racing
sports. Nearly 20 years ago, its founders designed their first bikes out of
necessity—they had races to win and the bikes that were available at the
time did not perform to their extremely high standards. So, they took
matters into their own hands and built legendary bikes that would outlast
and outperform the competition. From these humble origins, Global Bike
Incorporated was born and continues to deliver innovative high-
performance bicycles to the world’s most demanding riders.
This heritage of entrepreneurial spirit and quest for design perfection is still
the cornerstone of GBI’s corporate philosophy. GBI produces bikes for the
most demanding competitors—whether the competition is on pavement or
dirt, for money, fame or just bragging rights.
John Davis earned his racing scars in the mountain racing circuit in
America, where he won numerous downhill and cross-country
championships. Early on, John realized that the mass-produced bicycles
available were inadequate in many ways for the type of racing he was
doing. So, John stripped four of his old bikes down to the bare metal and
rebuilt them into a single “Frankenstein” bike that he rode to win the
national championship. Once news of his Frankenstein bike got out,
John’s friends and even his competitors began asking him to build them a
Frankenstein bike too. While recovering from an injury in 1990, John
started producing the first series of Frankenstein bikes in his garage—each
one custom-built from cannibalized parts from other bikes. As more and
more orders came in, John successfully expanded Frankenstein Bikes from
his garage operations into a full-blown manufacturing facility in Dallas and
began producing custom trail bikes which he sold through a network of
specialized bike dealers throughout the country.
At nearly the same time, halfway around the world in Heidelberg,
Germany, Peter Schwarz was studying engineering and competing in
regional touring races on weekends. In between his races and studies,
Peter worked at a bike shop in Heidelberg, fixing student bikes and tuning
the touring bikes that he and his friends rode for competitions. As Peter’s
reputation as a fierce competitor and mechanical wizard grew, he also
began to design and build road bikes based on an ultra-light composite
frame that he had created for one of his engineering courses. Peter’s

 CASE STUDY

innovative use of carbon composite materials allowed him to build a frame

that was significantly stronger and one tenth the weight of competing
frames. As a student, Peter did not have a great deal of financial resources,
so he partnered with a local company that manufactured his frame designs
as a contract manufacturer. Soon, Peter’s frames were being used by racers
all over Europe and he started Heidelberg Composites to market and design
frames which would be fabricated by a contract manufacturer on a larger
scale. Heidelberg Composites sold its frames to specialized bike stores
throughout Europe and directly to racing teams, eventually becoming the
leader in lightweight touring frames in Europe.
Through a twist of fate, Peter and John met each other in 2000 and
immediately recognized their mutual passion for performance and
complimentary business models. Each had been looking for a partner in
another racing field and each had been looking for a partner in a different
market. They quickly realized that a merger between their two companies
would be extremely synergistic and that the combination of their product
lines and regional distribution channels would generate a great deal of
efficiencies.
So, in 2001, Heidelberg Composites and Frankenstein Bikes merged to
form Global Bike Incorporated. Today, John and Peter share the
responsibilities for managing GBI’s growing organization as co-CEO’s.
John is responsible for sales, marketing, service & support, IT, finance and
human resources groups and Peter is responsible for research, design,
procurement and manufacturing groups from an organizational reporting
perspective.

Figure 1:
Organizational Structure

However, GBI is a process-centric organization, so John and Peter prefer to

think of the processes that they are responsible for, rather than the
functional areas of the company that report to them. From this perspective,
Peter is responsible for Idea-to-Market and Build-to-Stock and John is
responsible for Order-to-Cash and Service & Support, as well as the
supporting services for all four key processes. The simple way to look at
their responsibilities would be to say that Peter spends money and builds
products and John sells products and brings in money.

GBI Corporate Overview

Task Develop an organigram for GBI’s enterprise structure. Time 15 min

Short Description Read the below narrative to gather all relevant information for sketching
GBI’s current company structure.

Notes
Due to several tax and export issues, GBI’s headquarters is located in
Dallas and GBI is registered as a US company, following US GAAP
accounting standards. GBI operates a subsidiary company, GBI Europe,
which is based in Heidelberg and is subject to IFRS accounting standards
and German tax regulations.

distribution for the central US and internet retailers. GBI also has
warehouses for shipping and export in both San Diego and Miami. San
Diego handles West Coast distribution and exports for Asia, while Miami
handles East Coast distribution and Latin America exports.
GBI Europe has its headquarters in Heidelberg Germany. The majority of
research and development is housed in the Heidelberg offices. Heidelberg
is also the main manufacturing facility for GBI in Europe. The Heidelberg
warehouse handles all shipping for southern Europe. The Hamburg
warehouse handles all shipping for the UK, Ireland, Middle East and
Africa. GBI sells its bikes throughout the world and employs
approximately 100 people, 2/3rds of the employees are in the US and the
remaining 1/3 in Europe.

GBI Product Strategy

Task Get familiar with GBI’s product strategy. Time 15 min

Short Description Read the below narrative about GBI’s product strategy.

Notes
GBI is a world class bicycle company serving the professional and
“prosumer” cyclists for touring and off-road racing. GBI’s riders demand
the highest level of quality, toughness and performance from their bikes
and accessories.
Product development is the most critical element of GBI’s past and future
growth. GBI has invested heavily in this area, focusing on innovation,
quality, safety and speed to market. GBI has an extensive innovation
network to source ideas from riders, dealers and professionals to
continuously improve the performance, reliability and quality of its
bicycles.
In the touring bike category, GBI’s handcrafted bicycles have won
numerous design awards and are sold in over 10 countries. GBI’s signature
composite frames are world-renowned for their strength, low weight and
easy maintenance. GBI bikes are consistently ridden in the Tour de France
and other major international road races. GBI produces two models of
their signature road bikes, a deluxe and professional model. The key
difference between the two models is the type of wheels used, aluminum
for the basic model and carbon composite for the professional model.
GBI’s off-road are also recognized as incredibly tough and easy to
maintain. GBI trail bikes are the preferred choice of world champion off-
road racers and have become synonymous with performance and strength
in one of the most grueling sports in the world. GBI produces two types of
off-road bike, a men’s and women’s model. The basic difference between
the two models is the smaller size and ergonomic shaping of the women’s
frame.

GBI also sells an accessories product line comprised of helmets, t-shirts

and other riding accessories. GBI partners with only the highest quality
suppliers of accessories which will help enhance riders’ performance and

GBI Manufacturing Strategy

Task Get familiar with GBI’s manufacturing strategy. Time 10 min

Short Description Read the below narrative about GBI’s manufacturing strategy.

Notes
GBI operates two production facilities, Dallas and Heidelberg. Each
facility has three assembly lines and can produce around 1000 bikes per
year. Total production capacity is roughly 6000 bikes per year, but can be
increased by 15%-20% by using overtime hours and part-time workers.
GBI has outsourced the production of both off-road and touring frames and
the carbon composite wheels to trusted partners who have specialty
facilities to fabricate the complex materials used. GBI maintains very
collaborative research and design relationships with these specialty partners
to ensure that innovations in both material and structural capabilities are
incorporated into the frames. GBI primarily assembles semi-finished
goods into finished goods at its production facilities. Finished goods are
either stored in the local warehouse or shipped to other regional distribution
centers to fulfill customer orders.

GBI Distribution Network

Task Get familiar with GBI’s distribution network. Time 10 min

Short Description Read the below narrative about GBI’s distribution network.

Notes
Given the highly specialized nature of GBI’s bicycles and the personalized
needs of riders, GBI sells its bikes exclusively through well-known and
respected Independent Bicycle Dealers (IBDs). These dealers employ staff
members who are experts in off-road and tour racing to help consumers
choose the right GBI bike and accessories for their individual needs.

Figure 6
GBI Customers in
US and Germany

Due to the highly technical nature of its products, GBI has embraced the
Internet primarily as an information channel, maximizing its potential for
educating consumers and partners and marketing its products to a large
audience.
Since GBI’s main sales channel is through specialty resellers and there are
complex tax issues associated with selling in multiple states and countries,
they have a limited amount of internet sales.
