Ulkomaiset valmistajat Venäjän henkilöautomarkkinoilla

Tämä NORDIn julkaisusarjan raportti 41 keskittyy ulkomaisten automerkkien nopeasti kasvavaan valmistukseen Venäjällä. Julkaisussa arvioidaan Venäjällä toimivien ulkomaisten autonvalmistajien toimintaedellytyksiä. Tutkimuksessa selvitetään miksi ulkomaiset autonvalmistajat ovat laajentaneet toimintaansa Venäjälle

Venäjän automarkkinat

Venäjän automarkkinoiden uskotaan kasvavan muutaman vuoden sisällä Euroopan suurimmiksi. Keskeisin syy automarkkinoiden nopeaan kasvuun on ollut venäläisten elintason ja tätä kautta ostovoiman kasvaminen. Autoluototuksen kehittyminen on myös kiihdyttänyt automarkkinoiden kehitystä. Venäjän automarkkinat jakautuvat neljään osaan: Uusiin venäläisiin merkkeihin, uusiin ulkomaisten merkkien Venäjällä valmistettuihin autoihin, uusiin tuontiautoihin sekä käytettyihin tuontiautoihin. Työssä keskitytään uusien autojen markkinoihin sekä autonvalmistajiin näiden markkinoiden toimijoina. Venäjän Neuvostoliitolta peritty autoteollisuus ei ole pystynyt täyttämään asiakkaiden kovenevia laatuvaatimuksia ja ulkomaiset automerkit ovatkin saaneet Venäjällä erittäin vahvan jalansijan. Venäjä on kaivannut ulkomaisia investointeja ja on suorastaan houkutellut ulkomaisia autonvalmistajia maahan. Ulkomaiset valmistajat ovat kuitenkin menestyksen lisäksi joutuneet kohtaamaan Venäjällä toimiessaan monenlaisia haasteita. Laatukriteerit täyttävien alihankkijoiden löytäminen on ollut vaikeaa ja joissain autoteollisuuden keskittymissä alkaa olla jo työvoimapulaa. Jatkuva inflaatio asettaa teollisuudelle palkankorotuspaineita. Venäjän automarkkinat ovat kuitenkin suuret ja houkuttelevat ja tulevat kasvamaan haasteista huolimatta vielä tulevina vuosinakin.

An Overview Of British Automotive Industry: Implications From History and Recommendations for Future

This thesis is a literary research, which aims to uncover reasons for the downfall of automotive industry in the United Kingdom in the late 20th century. First, there is a short review on the history of the industry in the UK and then there are more present cases presented in the form of BMW-Rover and Tata-Jaguar Land Rover. Finally, the thesis suggests some ideas to which the UK should work towards in order to ensure future competitiveness. The automotive industry in the United Kingdom is one of the oldest in the world, but as the end of last millennium was approaching it was not doing too well. Industry that was still flourishing in the mid-century was soon heading down river and by the end of the century all large English car manufacturers had either closed down or were forced under foreign ownership. The thesis suggests possible targets for future prospects from the literary review and from the conclusions made. These are to ensure the continuity of the industry and the competitiveness on an international level. The suggestions are for long term and are mainly focused around research and development of renewable energy forms.

Conceptualisation Of Model For Studying Consumer Purchase Behaviour Of Passenger Cars

Automobile Industry in India is influenced by the presence of national and multi-national manufacturers. The presence of many manufacturers and brands in the state provides many choices to the customer. The current market for car manufacturers has been transformed from a monopoly of one or two manufacturers in the seventies to oligopoly of many manufacturers in the current marketing scenario. The main objective of the research paper is to explore and conceptualize various parameters and develop a model, which influence the purchase patterns of passenger cars in the State of Kerala. Thus, the main purpose of this paper is to come up with a model, which shall facilitate further study on the consumer purchase behaviour patterns of passenger car owners in the State of Kerala, India. The author intends to undertake further quantitative analysis to verify and validate the model so developed. The main methods used for this paper are secondary research on available material, depth interview of car dealers, car financing agencies and car owners in the city of Cochin, in Kerala State in India. The depth interviews were conducted with the use of prepared questionnaire for car dealers, car customers and car financing agencies. The findings resulted in the identification of the parameters that influence the consumer purchase behaviour of passenger cars and the formulation of the model, which will be the basis for the further research of the author. The paper will be of tremendous value to the existing and new car manufacturers both indigenous and foreign, to formalize and strategies their policies towards an effective marketing strategy, so as to market their models in the State, which is known for its high literacy, consumerism and higher educational penetration

Voluntary export restraints between Britain and Japan: the case of the UK car market (1971–2002)

The rise in international markets of new, productive Japanese car manufacturers provoked intense world competition, which created serious doubts about the economic sustainability of an industry mostly dominated until the 1970s by European and North-American multinational companies. Ultimately, this crisis provoked a deep transformation of the industry, with consequences that had a permanent impact on European companies in the sector. American and later European manufacturers were successful in lobbying governments to provide protection. Using a rich source of data from the UK, I show that the ‘new trade policy’, voluntary export restraint (VER), placed on Japanese exports of new cars from 1977 to December 1999, was binding. This case study illustrates the strategies used by Japanese manufacturers to gain access to the European market through the UK market via strategic alliances and later through transplant production, against which continental European nation states were unable to fully insulate themselves. It is also shown that the policy had a profound effect on the nature of Japanese products, as Japanese firms responded to the quantity restraints by radically altering the product characteristics of their automobiles and shifting towards larger autos and new goods, to maximise their profits subject to the binding constraint.
