  • CHAIRMAN's ADDRESS to the 101St ANNUAL MEETING
    CHAIRMAN’S ADDRESS TO THE 101st ANNUAL MEETING Ladies and Gentlemen, Results The year to June 2019 was a successful year. The trading profit after tax was down 10.9% on the previous year but it was also the second best year on record. The financial year June 2018 was exceptional as the Company benefited from a very favourable economic environment, with strong consumer and business confidence. In the last year there was a gradual change of sentiment in the face of more uncertainty. It was not a dramatic change, but it impacted on our results. In the circumstances, the directors are very pleased with the result. The total new vehicle industry for calendar year 2019 is expected to be down on 2018. The total decline is not great and the mid-term projections are for the industry numbers to level off at the current level, not continue to decline. It comes after many years of continuous increase. Headline numbers at this time of the year are heavily influenced by the seasonal purchasing of rental cars, which are not transacted through dealerships. The extra heavy truck segment of the market is expected to be minimally up on last year. Developments This last year has been a busy one for the company, with a number of long-term projects making progress or being completed. Some projects come together quickly; others are slow. With property there can be a delay while waiting for an existing lease to expire, or for resource consents to be approved. The developments can be grouped into three headings.

  • The Exemplary Case of Toyota New Zealand
    Copyright is owned by the Author of the thesis. Permission is given for a copy to be downloaded by an individual for the purpose of research and private study only. The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. AN ANALYSIS OF MNE SUBSIDIARY PERFORMANCE: THE EXEMPLARY CASE OF TOYOTA NEW ZEALAND A 115.897 & 115.898 (total 120 credit) Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Business Studies at Massey University, New Zealand. Sheina C Osten 2015 ABSTRACT Within the ever-expanding global market place the importance of understanding MNE parent- subsidiary relationships and the impact on subsidiary performance has become increasingly important. International business researchers have examined MNE entry processes into foreign markets; the methods of international business operations; and, processes for organisational and subsidiary control as contributors to performance. But little attention has been paid to the contribution from subsidiary-level attributes, those attributes held and or developed within the subsidiary itself. Toyota New Zealand’s (TNZ) sustained success in the New Zealand market place over the past three decades suggests that local-level factors must be enabling TNZ to achieve this level of performance. In no other market in the world has Toyota achieved the same level of success as that achieved in New Zealand, and concurrently across multiple market segments (e.g., small car, Corolla; light truck 4WD, Hilux; commercial van, Hiace). As a consequence TNZ appears to be a worthy site – an exemplar case study - in which to explore the attributes/mechanisms used within a subsidiary business that actually achieve disproportionate performance relative to competitors at a local level.

Motor Racing has been affected by the Covid 19 virus and I am sure a lot of businesses are feeling the pain. Motor Racing events that have been held so far have attracted few entries and this is very concerning for the forthcoming season. To run a race meeting, most costs are fixed so a minimum level of entries is required before the event can proceed. Only a certain number of races can be done in day and fields of less than fifteen cars make a meeting very marginal. Of course entry fees could be increased but HRC considers this would be counter productive. Photo Credit – Matt Smith For 19th July at Hampton Downs HRC tried, but with only ten entries thirteen days out from the event HRC were not able to take the risk or cover a hefty loss so we had no choice but to cancel. This meeting addressed the concerns of drivers that entry fees were too high but certainly did not fix the entry problem. Event was widely advertised on the net with a total of 8000 views Entries can be transferred to Winter Series Round 2 on the 23rd August or HRC will make a full refund We were probably a bit optimistic in expecting a reasonable entry when our survey results showed we could only expect 50% of our competitors to start racing again.
