This represened « 19% decrease from 4 high of US$2.2 trillion in 2007, just before the globul financial crisis. Global industry values are shown in Exhibit 1. The Asia-Pacific region accounted for the largest industry segment, with slightly more than US$644 billion in sales, 36% of the global market; followed by the Americas with a 31% share, or US$548 Dillion in sales. ‘The European market held a 27% share, or US$480 billion, in sales. Despite the global automo- tive industry's fluctuating growth rates during the 2004-2007 period, the industry was expected to experience a fast recovery during the following years. Industry experts forecasted that the compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) would be at or above 4.5% during the 2008-2013 period. ‘The global automotive market is highly concentrated.

In April loans received from the U.S. and Canadian governments Three,” as General Motors Meanwhile, the Japan-based automakers operating in the U.S. (Toyota, Honda, and Nissan) fared better than the Big Three during the global economic criss. Industry analysts believed that the reason forthe dispar- ity berween the American and Japanese automakers could be atributed to the fact thatthe Japanese were not burdened by legacy costs such as expensive pension funds, unionized workers, and the insistence that consumers would always demand big vehicles. At the same time, however, Japanese automakers produced smaller, more environmentally friendly compact cars forthe U.S. market. iro) In 2008, Toyota took the number one spot in terms of new car sales, selling vehicles in more than 170 ‘countries.’ GM had been the historic global sales leader for more than 80 years. Exhibit 3illustates the U.S. automobile industry's market share distribution. Both Toyota and GM downplayed the significance of this achievement. According to ‘Toyota spokesman Steve Curtis, “Being No. 1 in volume has never been our goal.

In 1934, the company produced its first Type A engine at the encouragement of the Japanese government, and two years later the company produced its first passenger ‘ear, the Toyota AA. In 1937, The Toyota Motor Corporation was established as an independent company. During World Wat 1, the company focused solely on truck production for the Imperial Japanese Army. Only aftr the war, in 1947, did Toyota resume production of passenger cars. By the carly 1950s, Toyota was on the verge of bankruptcy until ‘an order of more than 5,000 vehicles from the U.S. military for its war efforts in Korea revived the company.” Recognizing a growing market in the United States, in 1957 Toyota established its first sales, marketing, and distuion subsidiary in the U.S. called Toyota Motor Sale Ine.

When Katsuabi Watanabe took the helm as president in 2005, he did not hesitate to share the results of CCC21 with New York’ financial community: "Under CCC21 activities, which I led, Toyora realized cost re ductions of more than 200 billion yen (USS2.2 billion) a basis”) Despite the savings of more than US$10 billion over the sx years since CCC21's inception, Watanabe set out to achieve even more cost savings through the new "VI" (Valu Innovation) strategy. Dubbed an “aggressive version of CCC21,” Value Innovation promised greater svings by making the entire development process cheapet_— and faster, further timming parts, production costs, and time to market." According to company documents, the goal of Toyotas new vision was “to work hard towards making every dealer, plan, regional headquarters design center, and supplier around the world, including TMC, the ‘best company in town. In other words, 2 ‘company that is respected and admired by the communities we operate in and creates and shates a desirable Furuse forall! "” Many industry insiders, including Takaki Nakanishi, an auto analyst at JPMorgan Securities in Toky. expressed reservations about Toyota rapid growth. “Toyota is growing more quickly than the company’s ability to transplant its culture to foreign markets,” Nakanishi said. “This ia huge issue for Toyota, one of the biggest i will face in coming years.” Engine Oil Sludge: A Harbinger of Things to Come?

Two separate surveys conducted between 2000 and 2010 by J.D.

Unlike its domestic competitors, Toyotas marketing campaigns remained remarkably steady over the years, weavings its hallmark values of quality, safety, and reliability into its messages.

Managers who disagreed with a certain proposal would sometimes remain silent rather than upset the relationships that they had so «carefully developed. Therefore, it was highly unusual when Toyotas nonfamily managers publically stated that Toyotas troubles were less a quality crisis and more a management and public relations crisis. Mr. Okuda, nonfamily member and Toyota's president from 1995 to 1999, putan even finer point on this argument in 2000 when he told the Wall iret Journal, referencing family managers such as now-president Akio “Toyoda, “Nepotism just doesn’ belong in our future.” Other nonfamily managers argued that Mr. Toyoda was too focused on top-line growth and profits in order to overtake GM as the world’s leading automaker, instead ‘of making sure that the company’s reputation asa quality manufacturer remained intact. In Toyoda's Congressional testimony on February 24, 2010, he alluded to a return to these principles: perspective.
