Abstract
This paper focuses on the effectiveness of corporate strategy in making engineering
organizations successful with a specific case study of Toyota Motors Corporation. The Study
uses two approaches to data collection, use of primary sources as well as secondary sources. The
primary source of collecting data involved use of online surveys whereas the secondary sources
involved using ten different peer reviewed journals. The primary study had 150 participants of
various races and location but interacting with Toyota Motors Corporation directly or indirectly.
The data was analyzed using Excel spreadsheet and interpreted. The results indicate that
corporate strategy is indeed effective for Toyota Motors Corporation’s success. The result also
indicate that quality management is specifically a great corporate strategic tool that has enabled
Toyota Motors Corporation become a leading motors and engineering company globally.
ORGANIZATION CORPORATE STRATEGY 5
Chapter 1: Background
Introduction
Corporate strategy is vital for organizations as it determines their overall performance
especially in times of corporate storms for instance, the Covid-19 pandemic. Engineering
corporates are usually linked to technicality in their daily operations which makes them complex
and not as simple to manage as most other corporates of different categories. Toyota Motors
Corporation is considered one of the most successful engineering organization and companies in
general being categorized in top ten globally in relation to performance index and annual revenue
(Madoh et al., 2019). This paper therefore focuses on critical analysis of Toyota Motors
Background
Toyota Motor Corporation was founded way back in 1937 with a Japanese origin
(Bhattacheryay, 2021). The company engages in manufacturing, design and sale of various types
of motors including commercial vehicles, minivans, and passenger cars. It also manufactures and
distributes motor parts of its brands including Toyota, Hino, Daihatsu, and Lexus. Toyota Motor
Corporation has for a long period remained at the top in the auto manufacturing industry and in
affected its operations from time to time. Issues with global warming and environmental
concerns, increased fuel prices, and high competition from other automobiles that are electric or
hybrid remains some of the major challenges for the company. The efficient management of the
company, however, always ensure that a solution exists whenever a problem arises. For instance
when global fuel prices went up high in the first half of 2008, Toyota management decided that

they would instead focus on smaller vehicles that consume lesser fuel rather than the heavy
commercial fuel guzzlers (Bhattacheryay, 2021). This was at a time when Toyota’s market
competitors refused to shift because most of them thought that fuel prices would eventually
return to normal.
The fuel prices indeed dropped in the second half of 2008 when the US got into financial
crisis which affected the entire world economy negatively. As a result, the motor industry
revenue in 2009 went down with about 15% but then saw a growth of 2.1% by 2013 (Madoh et
By 2017, Toyota Motor’s corporate structure had 364,445 staff members globally and
was the 6th largest company globally in relation to revenues (McMillan, 2019). The company is
recorded as the first automobile company to produce over 10 million vehicles on a yearly basis.
Despite competition from Tesla and other global competitors, Toyota remains one of the top
sellers of hybrid electric vehicles. The Company also remains the global leader in sales of
hydrogen fuel cell motors. Toyota’s Prius family also remains the world’s top hybrid nameplate
selling company having achieved over six million global sales of units by 2017 (McMillan,
2019).
due to the great strategic market positioning and management. The management of Toyota
Motors has over the years focused mostly on three key strategies which are key to the
Company’s marketing plan. The three according to McMillan (2019) include Toyota Company
goals, mission statement and core competency as well as sustainable competitive advantage.
ORGANIZATION CORPORATE STRATEGY 7
The company goals goes a long way since the inception of the company. Toyota motors
has for a long time placed its focus on manufacturing cross breed choices and distributing them
to the world for consumer preference. The brand is the most common in many nations and with
various brands and easy availability of spare parts locally in these countries which makes it a
better choice compared to other brands such as BMW and CMC. Toyota Motors is also actively
engaged in its Ecological Activity Plan which focuses on 6 key areas; Societal Collaboration,
Natural Administration, the Nature of Air, Reuse and Improved Resource usage, changes in
Climate and Vitality, and Concerned Substances (Madoh et al., 2019). The main focus of the
In relation to its mission statement, Toyota Motors focuses on car manufacturing for a
accomplishment of a long haul and steady development and in synchronization with other
significant variables which include nearby served network, Inward Partners Conditions,
In relation to its core competency and competitive advantage, Toyota Motors Corporation
focuses on creating a future economy that is not only superior but also sustainable. The
achievement majorly relies on a stable market globally. As such, the Company’s resource focus
is on various empowerment procedures on its set goals and destination coverage over time. The
company remains focused on talents and skills network whose main role is to ensure the
mediums, a huge network of Toyota dealership globally, and four main sales channels (Corolla,

meeting its growth, abrupt changes, for instance the effects of Covid-19 pandemic, and survival.
The demand for Toyota customers is ever growing with a global population increase,
replacement needs and the affordability of Toyota cars and products compared to most other
brands. A good number of drivers globally already own a Toyota brand which gives the
Company a need to keep producing and distributing its products globally and continuously.
Product quality of Toyota products have for many years remained excellent with a one-time
sudden and unintended acceleration issue which was a major global issue but was quickly sorted
by the Company’s leadership which announced major recalls and service campaigns. Toyota
continues producing and distributing quality spare parts, an act that makes its customers loyal to
the company.

but also on a global market. Every of the Company’s product is intended for a particular and
specific market. The Company considers its target market in three main factors; outside
appearance, carrying capacity and best speed (Bhattacheryay, 2021). A high speed with two
situate vehicles, for instance, targets moderate youth gap most of whom are not married. An
enormous five situate model on the other hand targets big families.
Product
Toyota focuses on a wide range of both tangible and intangible products based on target
market. These products range from automobiles, to spare parts, to warranties. The company takes
product quality so serious and this has majorly contributed to its existence and success in the
global market. The Company has at least 19 various car models which when broken down to
other categories increases the number. According to Bhattacheryay (2021), Toyota automobiles
can be classified as Commercial vehicles which include Coaster, HiLux, Landcruiser, and
HiAce. A second classification includes Hybrid automobiles which include Camry and Prius. A
third classification includes SUVs and 4WDs for instance, Rav4, Landcruiser 200, Prado, and
Kluger. The forth classification which is the passenger automobiles include vehicles like Yaris,
Tarago, Rukus, Corolla, and Aurion among other types. Toyota Motors also manufacture vehicle
Intangible products by the Company include warranties, car services, and financial
services and other car related services. Unlike most other Companies, Toyota Motors have a

special research centre which focuses on predicting future customer needs for Toyota consumers
Place
Customer maintenance is something of great importance for Toyota Motors. As such, the
company always do all it takes to ensure that its automobiles and spare products are always
available to its target customers globally. It is easier to get Toyota product compared to any other
company’s in most countries that have Toyota Motor’s accessibility (Itsuki, 2021). Their sales
are made through dealership in their various branches globally and the selling is conducted by
their competitive sales representatives. The sales team in the various dealerships are highly
skilled to not only sale but also offer adequate product information, order taking, finance
insurance, and data collection. Being a global brand, Toyota is found in nearly all countries
globally and its products remain relevant due to its quality assurance and customer service.
Pricing
Toyota invests heavily in promotional activities which seems to offer the company great
results. The Company’s innovative designs enable it to build high quality vehicles, distribute
them globally, and yet keep its pricing moderately (Itsuki, 2021). Toyota Motor’s products are
considered among the highest quality automobile products yet the pricing remains affordable for
Many businesses uses the cost price and profit margin in calculating the selling price.
Toyota Motors, however, uses a different approach in which it specifically focuses on calculating
profit. That is, the management calculates the profit by subtracting the selling price from the cost
price. It the result is positive then it is a win for the Company irrespective of the profit margin.
This is a clever way of attracting more customers thus creating a wide customer base and

Promotion
Toyota Motors is known to use different promotional strategies which gives the Company
a competitive advantage over other motor companies. The Company advertises its products on
billboards, internet, brochures, word of mouth, television, newspapers, flyers and yellow pages
among other channels. The Company’s slogan is catchy which is, “Moving Forward”, which is
alternated with, “Let’s Go Places” (Itsuki, 2021). The introduction of cash back offer which are
given to the Company’s dealers or corporate for use by consumers in case of a rebate.

Justification
Despite the struggle by most of the engineering companies to survive the competition,
Toyota Motors remain among the topmost competitors globally and in the category of top ten

global challenges such as fuel cost increase, and the Covid-19 pandemic.

taking place in an organization in this case Toyota Motors Corporation (Toma & Naruo, 2017).
Other critical factors include the business environment, competition, and positioning in a given
market which singly or collectively affect an organization’s corporate strategy and ability to
perform. Business plan and corporate planning are key tools in implementing corporate strategy.
Strategy is what allows an organization and compete and survive in a highly competitive open
market environment. It is not enough to have a product, many other organizations may be having
because of its corporate strategy. According to Bencheikh & Djafar (2019) the Company has
achieved tremendous success because of its Jidoka corporate implementation strategy which
simply mean Just in time production of products and service provision. Jidoka also includes the
company’s ability to detect not so standard quality of products in good time before they are
released out to the market. It involves ensuring that Toyota products and services are available to
Another important strategic tool used by Toyota Motors is referred to as the A3s which
basically are used by the Company’s management as mechanisms for mentoring the junior staff
on scientific thinking as well as root cause analysis (Bencheikh & Djafar, 2019). This is done
while also considering that the staff is aligned to their suitable respective departments throughout

way that they do not feel like they are in classroom, instead, through learning from the mistakes

Djafar, 2019).
corporate strategy (Nkomo, 2013). Political, social, technological, and economic factors are
crucial when aligning Toyota’s project management with its corporate strategy.
Political factors are critical for Toyota Motors not just in Japan where it originates from
but in all other countries of operation (McMillan, 2019). Political factors are strong enough to
either uplift or bring down a company as big and successful as Toyota Motors. Political factors
has a lot to do with political goodwill, government policies and issues to do with importation and
tariffs set up by each government of operation. Without political goodwill, Toyota would not
community of operation majorly determines the kind of product customers will require and be
willing to purchase. Toyota Motors uses this factor as a major strategic approach through
organizing of corporate activities. Other than Toyota’s corporate Social Responsibility strategic
approach, Toyota Motors has also maintained a good symbol of trust, comfort, luxury, and
reliability (Thompson, 2017). Toyota believes that its success is as a result of the communities
and countries from which it operates thus the need to give back to these communities.
ORGANIZATION CORPORATE STRATEGY 15
Technological factors are critical for Toyota Motors as they form the productivity part of
the Company (Toma & Naruo, 2017). Toyota goes a step further compared to its competitors in
the technological aspect. For example, in the process of developing a good quality car, the
company may decide to add a Pitospaate Primer to make the car more durable and anti-corrosive
thus making it a better brand to buy a car from. The Company also ensures that its technical team
is well trained to ensure quality before any other factor thus making it a world class motor brand.
Economic factors ranges from economic policies and costs of doing business in a
particular niche. Economic policies of the environment of operation of Toyota Motor branches
may affect the ability of the branch to make progress. Sales tax increase for instance,
automatically affects pricing of Toyota products thus affecting the purchasing power. On a
positive side, According to Thompson (2017), Toyota Motors may decide to produce 1000 more
vehicles at a particular niche which requires the company to employ more manpower and in the

The vision of Toyota Motors Corporation remains maintaining the Company’s global
leadership position in automobile manufacturing and repair industry (Itsuki, 2021). Its mission
statement continues to focus on producing low cost yet good quality motors and motor parts for
its customers for safety, comfort, and mobility of Toyota model users globally. The Company’s
vision and mission remains relevant and SMART even after the Covid-19 pandemic globally.

notes that the top-most managers have a unique feature of not bossing their junior employees.
Instead, the management team focuses on improving the performance of the junior employees for
example through their planned risk taking program and letting employees reason freely and try
new and innovative ideas for the sake of improving the Company’s overall performance. Toyota

The aspect of competition at Toyota Motors is not simply competition per se, the
encouraging organizational learning for all staff members globally. Decision making for the
company majorly involves most if not all of the Company’s staff hence is characteristically
through consensus and allowing each work the freedom to not only think but also act (Itsuki,
2021). The company continues using this strategy to improve innovation and for a better Toyota
Many motor companies exist, some making expensive and quality vehicles yet Toyota
Motor continues to top the list. This is partly because, in its strategy, Toyota does not see its
business as the products they produce and distribute (Madoh et al., 2019). It focuses more on
how the products are produced, that is, the process of bringing products to existence. As such the
management team of Toyota Motors continue to believe in not just making vehicles but making
quality vehicles.
Another strategy that Toyota Motors use is through developments and trainings for its
workers globally (Madoh et al., 2019). Organizational learning enables workers to not only
produce good quality products for the company but also make it a norm even after replacement
ORGANIZATION CORPORATE STRATEGY 17
of some workers for reasons such as retirement. The Company has for a long time given
trainings and development a special focus in addition to its research institute which in turn has
improved the workers value creation, workplace ethics, leadership, management, and creative
thinking in response to global changes. Given these (trainings, product quality, management, and
competition approach) strategic actions, Toyota Motors Corporation seems to have a more
promising future.
Motors is, there are numerous challenges, both internal and external that continue to threaten its
overconfidence, seasonal weak management, and staff fallout include some of the major
difficulties associated with Toyota Motors (Bloch). Most of the difficulties experienced in the
Company are not as a result of individual errors but a collective error. Surprisingly, many of
these errors could have been foreseen (or were foreseen) and avoided with the guidance of the
management.
Bureaucracy, for instance, has become the centre of attention in Toyota Motors (Bloch,
2014). As a result, the Company has shifted from focusing on the management of the Company
to creation of solutions. This is a wise step but not to an extent of forgetting about how smooth
the company should run. One bureaucratic problem occurred during the Company’s mission to
expand in the United States market. At some point, it was noted that one of Toyota’s US
executives went ahead and established a de facto company in the New York by the name of
Toyota Motor North America. The same high ranking executive member decided to quit Toyota
ORGANIZATION CORPORATE STRATEGY 18
and join a competitor, Chrysler (Bloch). This got the Company unawares and unprepared thus
Overconfidence has become one of Toyota Motor’s major weaknesses. Having been at
the top for years, the Company seems to have mastered ways of keeping inside secrets (Bloch,
2014). Information to do with strategic plan and implementation and other useful information is
only shared on the basis of need-to-know. Most of the published information about Toyota
Motors Corporation is apparently an overview and not the in-depth information. One of the
reasons why the Company manages to keep a lot of its information as secret is because it does
not require loans for expansion or any other activity which would require the Company to share
its private information (Bloch, 2014). As a result, the management and the entire Toyota
The issue of overconfidence has also seen Toyota Motors stop recognizing the potential
in the strategies getting employed by its competitors (Madoh et al., 2019). The company
continues to suffer huge mistakes due to overconfidence and ignorance of the strength of
competition.
Weak management is a serious issue in many organizations and can lead to zero
performance of an organization (Itsuki, 2021). Not all leaders and managers use similar strategy
for performance and leadership change like any other change tends to shake an organization’s
performance. Toyota Motors has had a number of changes in its management from time to time
2007 when one of its executives left the Company to join another one. He was replaced by a not
very experienced member which resulted to the company dropping in its sales.
Another management challenge occurred recently when the Founder’s grandson, Akio
Toyoda took over as the Company’s new Chief Executive Officer (Bhattacheryay, 2021). As
good as the decision seemed, many argue that Akio Toyoda was simply not yet ready for such a
huge role which comes with a huge responsibility. A huge and world class company such as
Toyota requires an experienced and aggressive candidate who is also able to make the

Discussion
The first research findings on the effectiveness of Toyota Motors Corporate strategic
factors indicate that indeed all the highlighted options effectively contributed in one way or
another to Toyota’s overall success. The various highlighted factors included competitive
strategy, process design strategy, supply chain management strategy, human resource
management, capacity management strategy, human resource management strategy and quality
management strategy. However, the degree of significance of these strategic factors varies as is
14 respondents out of the total 150 respondents were in support for competitive strategy,

ORGANIZATION CORPORATE STRATEGY 24
in support for human resource management strategy, 1 in support for capacity management
strategy, 21 in support for innovation management strategy, and 83, the highest number were in
support for quality management strategy as the key strategy that triggers growth and progress for
Toyota Motors. The highest score of 83 is a good indication of the significance of quality over
product quantity not just for Toyota Motors Corporation but also any other leading company. All
other strategic factors mentioned are critical but they can only do better when quality
management is in place.
The results comparing Toyota Motors Corporation annual cost verses annual revenues for
a period of ten years between 2009 and 2018 indicate a huge difference between the two with the
Company realization of huge profits which is obtained from subtracting the annual costs from
annual revenues. For example, in the year 2010, Toyota Motors Corporation’s annual cost stood
at 147516 Japanese Yen. In the same year, the company’s annual revenue stood at 19409 billion
Japanese Yen. To obtain the profit for the same year (provided that all other factors remain
constant), 147516 is subtracted from 19409 billion Yen. The difference is significantly high thus
Another way of looking at the success of Toyota Motors so far is to subtract the
cumulative total cost over the mentioned ten years from the cumulative total revenues over the
same mentioned ten years. The difference is still positive and significantly huge thus making the
Company’s performance a success story. The significant drop in annual revenue in 2017 must
have been as a result of annual cost in the same financial year. This may probably have been
Conclusion
In summary, corporate strategy is an effective contribution to organizational progress and
success in the global business market. As has been observed in the various case studies in this
paper, there is no doubt that Toyota Motors Corporation is not only successful but also one of the
leading companies globally. The Company’s success, is however, majorly attributed to the
various strategic factors which include competitive strategy, process design strategy, supply
chain management strategy, human resource management, capacity management strategy, human
resource management strategy and quality management strategy. The effectiveness of these
factors varies from company to company but from this study, quality management strategy
appears the most effective strategy used by Toyota Motors Corporation to win its customers’
hearts. As has been previously noted in this report, Toyota Motors Corporation not only produce
good quality motors, products and services but also make them available at a fairly affordable
price for its customers globally. The Company’s global revenue performance has been steadily
increasing thanks to the collective strategies put in place by its management, especially the
quality management strategy which makes Toyota Motors Corporation a company to admire and
Recommendation
Toyota Motors Corporation has had an exceptional performance over the past years.
However, certain areas still require improvement to take the Company to a better level of
performance. For instance, Toyota management needs to up its game in the training and selection
process of next generation leaders and managers for the various branches. The company has
from time to time suffered whenever there is a significant change in management. The company
also need expand more on its development of clean energy products as this is where the shift is
leading towards. To remain relevant, the Company needs to up its game and produce more but

controlled clean energy motors (hybrid and 100% clean energy motors). Toyota Motors need to
increase its production in the Asian market as well as make Lexus a priority in the Chinese
market as part of its luxury segment. Given its success globally in the past many years, Toyota
Motors Corporation needs to put more focus on Corporate Social Responsibility to the various
