This paper is an analysis the evolution of internationalization of the automobile market in Japan. The concept can be analyzed in relation to the exemplary performance of Japanese cars. The turning point for success in Japanese cars was due to their fuel efficiency. The demand for Japanese cars skyrocketed in the 1970s, during the oil crisis. Showing the decision by Oil Exporting and Producing Countries to double the price of oil led to the intense increase in demand for the less fuel consumption Japanese cars in the foreign market. The 1970 oil crisis was an advantage for Japanese automobile companies, to internationalize leading to increased exports, from Japan. The extent of outsourcing ranging from management principles such as lean manufacturing, Kaizen and the Six Sigma standards have made Japan successful. Currently, the market for the Japanese cars has since grown all over the world, from the developed to the developing nations (International Trade Procedures and Business Process Analysis Groups, 2003, p. 5). The paper will examine the components of outsourcing, the outsourcing life cycle and the five major supply chain drivers. After a conclusive analysis of the extent to which Japan produces its cars internationally, the impact on balance of payments in times of inflation affects the national macroeconomic policies. The problem can be solved by the national exchequer, whose role is to make sound macroeconomic policies that will ensure the balance of payments is regulated. One of the research findings was that Japan’s rigid macroeconomic policies affect the balance of payments. The rigidity results to a deficit in the balance of payments. The impact of booms and recessions on demand and supply of manufactured goods should be regulated by strong but flexible central bank policies. The ability of the Japanese automobile industry, which is one of the greatest exchange earners, to capture the international market is heavily influenced by trade agreements and management principles (Hasan & Alim, 2010, p. 92). The research captures the extent to which the country manages to outsource the production of cars internationally. This ensures that it stays competitive in the automobile market which is dominated by other firms in America and Europe. The automotive industry has increasingly become competitive in the past decade. It has, therefore, become crucial to comprehend the dynamics of competition, as well as the key driving forces of other significant competitors in the market (Porter, The Competitive Advantage of Nations, States and Regions, 2009, p. 77). In addition to developing a sufficiently established structure of their domestic industry, the Japanese automobile firms have had significant changes in the past decade. The use of supply chains and value added trade statistics that surround the Japanese automobile industry international market will be critically examined (Environmental Protection Agency, 2012, p. M18). The ability of the Japanese industry to use monetary and fiscal incentives, such as foreign direct investment and trade gains will also be examined. Conclusively, the paper will examine the statistics on direct value-added exports, indirect value-added exports and their effect on position and participation in global supply networks. The competitiveness of the Japanese automobile market depends on capital availability, market risks, suitability (response) to consumer tastes and preferences, and finally the ability to control the market in order to get rid of competitors (Powers, Koopman, Wang, & Wei, 2011). Finally, the paper includes research and analyses of Japanese supply chains using Porter’s illustration (Porter, The Competitive Advantage of Nations, 1990, p. 77). The illustration is a summary of the corporate competitiveness presently and in the future. The age of globalization is a product of increased international trade relations in the pursuit of profit and market control. The paper will examine how Japan has maintained the quality and competitiveness through supply chains. The value added aspects have proven to be costly for most firms. The paper examines how exportation and importation of the Japanese market, has remained profitable and effective. Lastly, the paper will examine Japan’s competitive advantage and the future of the country’s global supply chains (Porter, The Competitive Advantage of Nations, States and Regions, 2009, p. 77). |
