...Toyota, Inc. A Communication Breakdown TOYOTA, INC. A COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN Careful examination of the internal and international communication operations of Toyota, Inc. will prove that there is an immediate need for innovation when handling consumer complaints. HISTORY For over fifty years Toyota has been a brand its consumers considered to be trustworthy, and reliable. The first Toyota dealership opened within the United States on October 31, 1957 in Hollywood, California. This would become its headquarters and a mere 288 vehicles were sold this first year. Since this time Toyota has expanded across the United States currently operating a total of ten plants which assembles more than a million vehicles per year. The company currently has nearly 39,000 employees. It prides itself on extending its managerial hand to other corporations such as Apple and Google, contributing more than 700 million dollars towards the American economy. Specifically focusing on safety, education, and the environment within the United States. In 1961 Toyota ceased the manufacturing of the Toyota Toyopet, making the Land Cruiser the companies golden goose until 1965 when the Toyota Corona was developed. This caused the companies sales to increase in the upwards of twenty thousand vehicles per year by 1966. By 1972 Toyota had sold a million vehicles, and in 1975 it took the title of “No 1. Imported Vehicle “from Volkswagen. Over many years Toyota pitched many campaign slogans such as:...

...manufactured by Toyota has been the critical problem. Ever since the whole crisis rose, the need for effective customer communication has prevailed. With little prioritization of Toyota customers, it has cost a lot to the organization: I am talking of over 6 million recalls, the fines that have totaled to about $50 million. Above all that, there has been a greater drift when it comes to the standards that do define Toyota as a brand. To resolve the accelerator crisis, there is a need to provide customer satisfaction, improved productivity and quality of the products manufactured by Toyota. To achieve effective communication to take place, there is need to break the barriers that do exist between the top management and the departments through the provision of courses related to customer relations and leadership. There is also need to shift the suppliers as a way of ensuring the quality of the products that reach the customers. For Toyota to retain the quality standards and the best auto brand among the competitors, real customer’s relations should be attained. History and Description of the Current Situation The crisis was reported on August 28th, 2009 when Mark Saylor, a California Highway Patrol officer together with his family passed on in an accident. The accident was caused by the 2009 Lexus ES350 whose acceleration was out of control with the report from 911 saying that one of the occupants said the vehicle had no brakes (Toyota, 2012).

...Porter’s Five Forces Bargaining Power of Supplier (Moderate) Toyota has different supplier for different parts of the automobile. Some of the suppliers are: - KEIPER: a supplier of rear seat assembly locks - TAC Manufacturing: a supplier for shift lever knobs - Tenneco: a supplier of exhaust components - Bridgestone: a supplier of tires - Samsung Electronics: creating a car mode App The suppliers for Toyota play a vital role in production. But, there are moderate population of suppliers and high overall supply. The limited population of suppliers can affect the production of Toyota. Because of the limited population, the bargaining power of supplier is high, but the high availability of supply used for manufacturing toyota’s products weakens the suppliers’ power. Thus, the bargaining power of supplier is moderate. Bargaining Power of Buyer (High) Toyota’s aim is to serve the middle income customer because the cars that they produce are affordable. The buyer purchase small volume of the products because cars are expensive. Because its aim is to serve middle income customers, toyota’s have a lot of buyer because the population of middle income customers is more than high income customers. The product is worthy because the quality is good, the price is affordable, toyota has its own mantainance service and the secondhand’s price is good. The switching costs is low because customers can easily change from toyota to competing firms at no extra cost. The customers have accurate...
