  • China's Developing Auto Industry: an Opportunity for United States Investment - and Challenge for China's New Foreign Investment Laws
    ARTICLES CHINA'S DEVELOPING AUTO INDUSTRY: AN OPPORTUNITY FOR UNITED STATES INVESTMENT - AND CHALLENGE FOR CHINA'S NEW FOREIGN INVESTMENT LAWS W. GARY VAUSE* 1. PROFILE OF CHINA'S AUTO INDUSTRY AS AN INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY 1.1 Overview of the Market Potential The dawning of the "Age of the Pacific" caught many U.S. indus- tries still napping, and the U.S. auto industry was among the most somnolent. The rapid ascension and now legendary success of Japahese auto manufacturers not only carved out a large share of the U.S. do- mestic market, but also virtually excluded U.S. automakers from ex- porting substantial numbers of vehicles to the growing Pacific Basin market.' Following closely on the heels of the Japanese producers are the "little tigers" of Asia, such as South Korea, which now has its own highly successful Hyundai automobiles invading the U.S. market. One of the most recent related developments has been the exten- sive investment by capital-rich Japanese companies in the United States, including investment in the domestic U.S. auto industry.2 Japa- nese companies in the United States now employ nearly 250,000 Amer- icans, and it is estimated that they will employ more than one million in the next decade.' The prospects for the U.S. automobile industry's * Professor of Law, Stetson University College of Law. The declining value of the dollar, coupled with efforts of Japanese companies to redress the trade imbalance, may result in an increase of U.S. exports to the region in the near future. For example, GM anticipates exporting 4,000 cars to Japan in 1988, an increase from the 3,000 planned for 1987.

The phenomenon of these autonomous Chinese Automakers is drawing increasing attention not only from academia but also from business and government circles. This paper attempts to clarify the relationship between emergence of ICAMs and International Technology Transfer. Many scholars indicate the use of outside supplies (of engines and other key-parts), as a sole reason for high-speed growth of ICAMs. However, the internal approach, at a level of how companies act, is also necessary to outline all the reasons and factors that might contribute to the process. This paper, based on organizational view, starts from historical perspective and clarifies the internal dynamics of the ICAMs.

  • "Industrial Groups and Division of Labor in China's Automobile
    The Developing Economies, XXXIII-3 (September 1995) INDUSTRIAL GROUPS AND DIVISION OF LABOR IN CHINA’S AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY TOMOO MARUKAWA I. INTRODUCTION A. Changes in the Division of Labor in China Until the 1970s, China’s industries had followed a system which can be called a vertically divided division of labor. Under this system each enterprise within an industry generally specialized in producing a particular end product within a spe- cific narrow field, and each enterprise subsumed within itself all of the stages in the production process. In the machinery industry, for example, a firm manufacturing a particular machine would carry out the final assembly process as well as the upstream machining, casting, forging, and heat-treating processes. Figure 1 illus- trates the concept of the vertically divided division of labor as was found in the automobile manufacturing industry. An enterprise subsumed within itself all of those upstream-production stages encompassed by the solid line, but very often the firm produced only one particular end product. This division-of-labor system derives partly from the preconditions in China at the time the country began industrialization. The country’s preexisting industrial base was extremely weak, and there was little hope of procuring parts and compo- nents externally. In addition, the vertically divided division of labor reduced the uncertainties inherent in transactions among enterprises because only a small num- ber of enterprises became involved in the production process from the raw-materi- als stage to the final-assembly stage. As a result the system was seen as more suit- able for a planned economy.
