...ESTABLISHING THE ROLE OF THE PHILIPPINE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY IN THE EAST ASIAN PRODUCTION NETWORK: IDENTIFYING INDUSTRIAL ADJUSTMENT POLICIES THAT WILL FURTHER ENHANCE PARTICIPATION IN THE NETWORK AND RESPONDING TO THE CHALLENGES POSED BY CHINA’S EMERGING AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY1 Roberto B. Raymundo I. INTRODUCTION A. Integrating the Local Automotive Sector within the International Production Network One of the major industries that had successfully adopted both the regional as well as the global approach towards locating its production facilities and exploiting locational advantages is the automotive industry which has been predominantly driven by multinational corporations (MNCs) originating from the United States, Japan and Germany. The expansion of the production activities of these MNCs, particularly those originating from Japan, into the economies of East Asia over the past two decades have been primarily responsible for the creation of international production networks which continue to influence the extent of industrial development in the region. The international production networks in the automotive sector have made substantial contributions to East Asian economies in the form of foreign direct investments (FDI) to the host countries, creating new jobs and increasing production, establishing linkages by integrating local firms into their supply network and raising the level ...

...headlines such as “Auto Sector Faces Numerous Challenges” and “European Carmakers Zoom in”[1] were simply reminders of the challenges his company faced. Proton had been troubled by its declining share of the domestic auto market (Exhibit 1) and consequent dwindling profits and margins. Without taking into account the government’s R&D grant in 2007/2008, the company suffered three straight years of losses from 2007 to 2010. Its finances recovered a little in 2009/2010, thanks to the government’s “cash for clunkers” incentive programme, a MYR143 million (USD48 million)[2] R&D grant from the government, and some improvement in sales. However, its net profit margin barely reached 3% — very low by industry standards — and most of its performance measures lagged behind those of the industry leaders (Exhibits 2 and 3). The stock price of Proton’s listed parent, Proton Holdings Berhad (Proton Holdings Limited), had been substantially lower than its net asset value for several years (Exhibit 3). Because of its low market to book ratio and the heavy government subsidies paid to Proton, Mr. Syed Zainal was under tremendous pressure to turn around Proton’s performance. Adding further pressure, the changing institutional environment had exposed Proton’s inability to compete. Since 2005 when the government committed to reducing import tariffs under the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA) agreement, the external institutional environment became very unfavourable to Proton. Although the government...

...Tohoku Aftermath on the WW Automotive Industry Market Researcher IHS iSuppli has come out with loss estimates from the earthquake and tsunami, correlating them to GDP. The Japanese GDP is estimated at $5.5 Trillion. It is the third largest, and around 8% of the WW economy. IHS iSuppli estimates suggest that if loss is around $250 Billion, the rebuild expense will be around $190 Billion. On the other hand, the World Bank estimates that the Japanese earthquake and resulting tsunami could cost the Asian economy up to $235 Billion. Key risk factors for the Japanese economy are the uncertainty over the nuclear plant at Fukushima (any meltdown/significant incident) and continued shortages of electricity, plus the time taken to repair the significant damage to infrastructure. Combined, these can affect the Japanese industry’s attempts to get back on track. iSuppli’s current GDP forecasts show a lowered outlook for 2011 versus its earlier estimates, followed by a stronger outlook in 2012. Japanese economy may see an output drop over the next few months, followed by a sharp rebound once reconstruction gets underway. Year | Pre-quake GDP Growth | Post-quake GDP Growth | 2011 | 1.3% | 0.8% | 2012 | 1.8% | 3.5% | 2013 | 1.9% | 1.4% | Source: IHS iSuppli, March 2011 iSuppli estimates that Japans’ debt to GDP ratio may rise by a percentage point, by end 2014, moving to 205% (from 204%). In other words, the ratio is unlikely to affect financing, unless it approaches a tipping point...

...FTA: The upcoming challenges to the Malaysian automotive industry AFTA and Malaysian car industries Proton and Perodua are really going to feel the threat of AFTA if they are not prepared by the year 2005. Government has helped them by deferring the AFTA from 2003 to 2005. So now it is up to the local manufacturers to come out with their own remedies to face AFTA. The truth fact is that nobody can escape from liberalization of car industry in this region. From my opinion, Proton has already started preparing for AFTA. But is it enough? Sales have been projected to drop significantly for Proton once AFTA is implemented. One of the measures taken by Proton is in R & D sector. They have come up with first Malaysian design car. This is a milestone in Proton, which was realized using latest technology like Rapid Prototyping and commitment by the employees. Proton is also doing research and development with Lotus engineering and Petronas-Sauber Formula 1 team to come up with own engine. This moves in R &D sector is very important for them. Now they can show their own identity to the world rather than copying prototype of Mitsubishi cars. They have changed to a new logo that will give them more precise identity. Perodua still lack in this field, they still come out with Daihatsu prototype cars to manufacture in Malaysia. Local manufacturers have to come with their own identity or brand if they want to penetrate the ASEAN market. In order to have own identity, they need...

...exports comes the second stage. This is the setting up of transplant in major market regions. The automotive companies in the world is now confronting a third stage in the process of internationalization, namely globalization. It is mean complete localization of transplant one hand and the establishment of global business network another hand. Exports are the engine of the contemporary Korean motor vehicle industry's success. Korea emerged in the 1995 as a significant world producer in which 5 leading countries produced 2.6 million units in 1995. They plan to produce a total of 3.2 million cars this year, including those to be assembled at their overseas plants. In the last year the Korean automakers exported about 1 million units. In the 1980s, Korean automakers began to explore strategies to increase access to the overseas market. The strategy of internationalization in the first stage was to develop joint ventures with US automotive producers such as GM and Ford that would allow them to the development of world car concept. The growth in production and exports is required closely linked to both the advanced product design and process technology that Korean carmakers has been able to technology import from advanced carmakers. The original equipment manufacture (OEM) as a short-term strategy of globalization under the joint ventures was satisfactory. In the second phase, Korean automotive companies saw the need to diversification of overseas market. These efforts intensified after...

...them so they look for nations where they can dump this meat. They did in the Philippines, Sri Lanka and Russia. They might deny it in the US but everybody knows that they are sitting on stocks for at least 2-3 years. They have succeeded in doing that because of their good freezing techniques. Now it’s becoming a major problem for them. They’re not used to eating leg meat and are in a fix. In the US they actually load the price of the entire chicken on the breast meat, and the rest of the bird is like a carcass to them. Due to environmental reasons they can’t dump it in the sea so they have to dump it somewhere. It can be any underdeveloped country, may be India! It’s wrong notion that supply of this meat to underdeveloped countries will be good for the consumers there. It is not. Can the Americans guarantee anything – how long will they be able to supply the chicken? How long will they supply subsidized eggs to such a large country? We could end up destroying our industry base and that will be very sad. As far as chicken is concerned, they can only supply the legs – they can never supply the whole bird. The white meat costs US $3 to 3.5 per pound, so it’s out of range. May be the consumer gets the advantage of subsidized supply of the white meat in the short run but over time the consumers’ interests are likely to suffer because such a supply will result only in destroying the chicken and egg industry in India. Once their surplus stock gets exhausted...

...North America Equity Research 22 September 2014 US Automakers See Attractively Deep Value in GM As We Roll Out 2016 Estimates for US Automakers; Like Ford; Cautious on TSLA We introduce our 2016 estimates and roll-forward valuation for GM and Ford, finding +50% upside in the case of General Motors and +32% in the case of Ford. Our established 2015 price targets increase on newly considered 2016 earnings rather than 2015 in our valuation analysis and on capital structure roll-forward as the firms generate sizable cash flow. 2016 earnings are expected to rise relative to 2015, on industry tailwinds (continued trend toward more normal volumes in Europe, cycling past a period of atypically strong macro headwinds in South America, robust growth in China, and continued cyclical increase in North America even if at a lesser rate) as well as various different self-help initiatives (e.g., as restructurings in Europe, Australia, and elsewhere take further hold, and on cost control efforts in North America). We reiterate our Overweight ratings on both GM and Ford, seeing more value in automaker stocks than in supplier stocks generally, on earnings that are growing almost as quickly as the average supplier over our newly extended forecast window (and at least as structurally improved relative to history) but valuation which is only in line with historical average (Ford) or even significantly below (GM). We are more cautious on Tesla, however, with our Neutral rating balancing incremental...

...Summary The automobile industry, a key sector in China’s industrialization and modernization efforts, has been developing rapidly since the 1990s. In recent years, China has become the world’s largest automotive producer, with annual vehicle output of over 18 million units in 2011. China is now also the world’s biggest market for automobile sales. Meanwhile, China’s auto sector development and policies have caused concerns in the United States, from automotive trade, China’s failure to effectively enforce trade agreements and laws, to market barriers and government policies that increasingly favor Chinese manufacturers, which could affect business operations and prospects of international companies doing business in (or with) China. China’s auto industry has developed extensively through foreign direct investment, which has come in the form of alliances and joint ventures between international automobile manufacturers and Chinese partners. These international automobile manufacturers, who generally dominate the higher end of the Chinese market, have focused on making cars for China’s large and fastgrowing market. The domestic Chinese automakers, who occupy the lower end of the market, struggle to improve design and quality to expand sales overseas. China exports and imports relatively few vehicles. Most of the cars produced in China stay in China and its vehicle exports are mostly light trucks and passenger cars shipped to developing country markets. Automotive trade between the United...
