...Toyota was established in 1937 in Japan. First time it introduced its product Corona in the US in 1965. By the 70’s, Toyota was the best-selling import brand in the US. During the 80’s, it started manufacturing vehicles in the US. In 2006, it had globally become the second largest car seller and third largest car sellers in the US having more than fifteen percent market share. This profound success of Toyota is associated with its most proficient market strategy.

Customer satisfaction is the driving force for Toyota, which inspires it to provide the highest quality products and services. “Kaizen” is a word that Toyota upholds, which means “continuous improvement” of its technology, products, and services.

...History And Background The Toyota Motor Corporation started with humble beginnings. Kiichiro Toyoda in 1933 visited the United States and several automobile plants. He returned to Japan and started an automobile division in his father's loom factory. General Motors and Ford had already established automobile plants in Japan but this did not stop Toyoda. Toyota Motor Corporation was founded August 28, 1937. In the year 2000, Toyota was the world's third largest car company and the largest car company in Japan. The current president of Toyota is Akio Toyoda. Toyota maintains a 9.8 percent share of the automobile global marketplace. Japan itself, has very few natural resources, which prompted the Toyota Motor Corporation to develop fuel-efficient vehicles. Change in political environment in Japan, prompted Japanese auto manufacturers to rely on new technologies to guarantee success in the industry such as the birth of the small car. While other countries concentrated on large, luxury vehicles, Japanese manufactures were busy focusing on building small, fuel-efficient vehicles that would grow to dominate the automotive industry. Political unrest can lead to military action and wars, which make materials needed for car manufacture difficult to find. Such was the situation Toyota Motor Company faced during Word War II, when a crippled Japanese economy forced the company to start building 'recycled' vehicles. Corporations must also comply with the laws of trade both nationally...

...case of Toyota recall By Daniel Opoku Abstract Purpose: the main purpose of this study is to find out about the recalls of Toyota vehicles which lead to the death of some innocent lives. The recall was due to unintended acceleration. Toyota ultimately recalled millions of its cars for floor mat issues, brake problems and "sticky" gas pedals. Methodology: Data was collected online, by the help of some selected search engines. Information was collected from Toyota’s national website as well as other private sites. Findings/results: Most organization should seek for customers or consumer’s satisfaction rather than targeting of making high profit. Arrogance and choosing to ignore quality warnings when failures begin to happen is also a problem facing most organization. Implications: Companies or organizations should design and manufacturing information and traceability data that can be shared with suppliers for effective root cause analysis. Paper type: case study Keywords: recall, unintended acceleration, floor mat, sticky gas pedals. Introduction Toyota has long been recognized as seventh largest company in the world and the second largest manufacturer of automobiles, with production facilities in 28 nations around the world (Toyota Assembly and part, 2011).

...Michael Greto Andreas Schotter Mary Teagarden Toyota: The Accelerator Crisis The root cause of their problems is that the company was hijacked, some years ago, by anti-family, financially oriented pirates. Jim Press, former President & Chief Operating Officer (COO) Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. On February 24, 2010, Akio Toyoda, the grandson of Toyota Motor Corporation’s founder, Kiichiro Toyoda, endured a grueling question-and-answer session before the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. The committee represented just one of three Congressional panels investigating the 2009-2010 recall of Toyota vehicles related to problems of sudden acceleration and the company’s delay in responding to the crisis. Signs of the coming recall crisis began as early as 2006 when the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) opened an investigation into driver reports of “surging” in Toyota’s Camry models. The NHTSA investigation was closed the next year, citing no defects. Over the next four years, Toyota, known in the industry for its quality and reliability, would quietly recall nearly nine million Toyota and Lexus models due to sudden acceleration problems. Toyota’s leadership, widely criticized for its slow response in addressing the problems, now had to move quickly to identify a solution that would ensure the safety of its vehicles, restore consumer confidence, protect the valuable Toyota brand, and recoup a plummeting share price....

For exampie, Toyota spent four years carefully listening to teens before developing the Scion brand, aimed at 1 firstlime car buyers in the luYtiil'.i US market, lt learned, for instance, that Scion's target age group of 6-21 -year-olds wanted personalisation. To meet that preference, Toyota builds the car'mono-spec' at the factory with just one wellequipped trim level, but lets customers at dealerships choose from more than 40 customisation elements, from stereo components to wheels and even floor mats.

By inventing the electric spinning machine, he did revolutionized the industry of textile in the country, in January of 1918, Sakichi established the Toyoda Spinning and Weaving Company, and with the help of his son, kiichiro Toyoda, he carried out his long time life dream of manufacturing a machine of automatic spinning in 1924 .In the same year, Sakichi Toyoda invents Toyoda Model G Automatic Loom. Like his father, Kiichiro was an innovator, and during his visits to Europe and the United States in late 20th he became deeply interested in the automotive industry, there he was in its infancy. Making the most of the £ 100,000 that Sakichi Toyoda received for selling the patent rights of his automatic loom to a British company in 1929, Kiichiro laid the foundations of Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC), which was established in 1937. From looms to cars, the Toyota story has been a constant succession of situations in which the boundaries were extended from manufacturing. In 1955 The Toyopet Crown, Toyopet Master and Crown Deluxe are launched. In1957 the first prototypes of the Crown are exported to the United States; Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A., Inc. is established.
