  • Distribution of the Dealer and Repair Parts Management System of a Japanese Multinational Car Manufacturer in China: Focusing on the Case of GAC Toyota Motors
    160JournalYasuhisa of the Economic Abe·Xujia Geographical Lin·Masatoki Society Takase of Korea ? Vol.22, No.2, 2019(160~177) Distribution of the Dealer and Repair Parts Management System of a Japanese Multinational Car Manufacturer in China: Focusing on the Case of GAC Toyota Motors Yasuhisa Abe* · Xujia Lin** · Masatoki Takase*** 중국의 일본계 자동차 메이커 딜러의 분포와 수리 및 보수용 부품의 관리체제 - 광치 도요타사(社)의 사례를 중심으로 - 아베 야스히사*·린 쉬쟈**·타카세 마사토키*** Abstract : In this study, we examined the distribution of dealers and the repair parts management system of a Japanese car manufacturer in the Chinese market in looking at the case of Toyota. We conducted our re- search by obtaining information from a GAC Toyota dealer about the current distribution of dealers and lo- cations of warehouses throughout China, as well as the status of stocks and the distribution system for repair and maintenance parts. The results of our investigation showed that although GAC Toyota has 437 dealers throughout the country, there is an imbalance in distribution towards the coastal areas, after the popula- tion ratios and other measurements are factored in. Therefore, it can be said expansion towards the inland regions, where demand for automobiles has increased in recent years, has been stunted. On the other hand, there is a high correlation between gross GDP by region and the number of stores, and it can be pointed out that the company prioritizes the sale of high-priced vehicles in major coastal areas where the economy is large, rather than selling low-priced vehicles for inland consumers with a relatively small economic scale.

Businesses and governments all over the world are searching for technological innovations that reduce costs and increase usage of “environmentally friendly” vehicles. China became the largest car producer in 2009 and it is strongly investing in the manufacturing of electric vehicles. This paper examines the incentives provided by Chinese governments (national and local) and the strategies pursued by BYD, the largest Chinese EVs manufacturer. Specifically, our paper helps to show how government support in the form of subsidies combined with effective strategies implemented by BYD helps to explain why this emerging industry has expanded successfully in China. Our study is based on primary data, including interviews with company headquarters and Brazilian subsidiary managers, and secondary data. © 2016 Departamento de Administrac¸ão, Faculdade de Economia, Administrac¸ão e Contabilidade da Universidade de São Paulo - FEA/USP.
