Example #1: Toyota
Toyota is the world’s leading automaker. It is headquartered in
Japan and its brands include Toyota, Lexus, Scion, etc. In 2009,
Toyota employed 320,800 people and its sales were ¥20.529
trillion.
Toyota has factories all over the world and sells cars in more
than 140 countries. Toyota is mainly engaged in horizontal FDI. Its
production system relies on fully-owned assembly plants, which
obtain components and parts largely from external suppliers.
Why does Toyota horizontally fragment its production process?
Why does Toyota control and manage its foreign production
facilities?
