Joint venture related issues

Relationship between the Government of India, under the United Front (India)
coalition and Suzuki Motor Corporation over the joint venture was a point of heated
debate in the Indian media until Suzuki Motor Corporation gained the controlling
stake. This highly profitable joint venture that had a near monopolistic trade in the
Indian automobile market and the nature of the partnership built up till then was the
underlying reason for most issues. The success of the joint venture led Suzuki to
increase its equity from 26% to 40% in 1987, and further to 50% in 1992. In 1982,
both the venture partners entered into an agreement to nominate their candidate for
the post of Managing Director and every Managing Director would have tenure of
five years

History of Maruti Suzuki Company:

MarutiUdyog Limited (MUL) was established in Feb 1981 through an Act of


Parliament, to meet the growing demand of a personal mode of transport caused by
the lack of an efficient public transport system.

Suzuki Motor Company was chosen from seven prospective partners worldwide. This
was due not only to their undisputed leadership in small cars but also to their
commitment to actively bring to MUL modern technology and Japanese management
practices (which had catapulted Japan over USA to the status of the top auto
manufacturing country in the world).

A license and a Joint Venture agreement were signed between Govt of India and
Suzuki Motor Company (now Suzuki Motor Corporation of Japan) in Oct1982.

Maruti (subsidiary of Suzuki), has made profits every year since inception except
2000-01. In 2001-02, we made a profit (before tax) of Rs 1183 million. In 2002-03,
the profit (before tax) rose to Rs 2821 million, recording a growth of 138.4%over the
previous year.

Maruti revolutionized the way Indians looked at cars. "No other car company so
completely dominates its home market" - (The Economist). MUL is the first and only
car company in the world to lead its home market in terms of both market share and in
the JD Power Customer Satisfaction study (JD Power Asia Pacific 2000 India
Customer Satisfaction studies). It is also the only car company in the world to be Top
ranked four times in a row (2000, 2001, 2002 & 2003).

Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL, formerly known as MarutiUdyog Limited) is a


subsidiary of Suzuki Motor Corporation, Japan. Maruti Suzuki has been the leader of
the Indian car market for over two and a half decades. The company has two
manufacturing facilities located at Gurgaon and Manesar, south of New Delhi, India.
Both the facilities have a combined capability to produce over a 1.5 million
(1,500,000) vehicles annually. The company plans to expand its manufacturing
capacity to 1.75 million by 2013.

3
The Company offers 15 brands and over 150 variants ranging from people's car
Maruti 800 to the latest Life Utility Vehicle, Ertiga. The portfolio includes Maruti
800, Alto, Alto K10, A-star, Estilo, WagonR, Ritz, Swift, Swift DZire, SX4, Omni,
Eeco, Kizashi, Grand Vitara, Gypsy and Ertiga. In an environment friendly initiative,
in August 2010 Maruti Suzuki introduced factory fitted CNG option on 5 models
across vehicle segments. These include Eeco, Alto, Estilo, Wagon R and Sx4. With
this Maruti Suzuki became the first company in India to introduce factory fitted CNG
vehicles.

In terms of number of cars produced and sold, the Company is the largest subsidiary
of Suzuki Motor Corporation. Cumulatively, the Company has produced over 10
million vehicles since the roll out of its first vehicle on 14th December, 1983.

Maruti Suzuki is the only Indian Company to have crossed the 10 million sales mark
since its inception. In 2011-12, the company sold over 1.13 million vehicles including
1, 27,379 units of exports.

The Company employs over 9000 people (as on 31st March, 2012). Maruti Suzuki's
sales and service network is the largest among car manufacturers in India. The

LITERATURE REVIEW

Jacqueline Brown, C. David Light and Gregory M. Gaza, Attitude towards


European, Japanese and US cars, European Journal of Marketing, 21 (5), 2007,
pp. 91 100.

This study analysed the consumers attitude towards European, Japanese and the US
cars. The country of origin plays a significant role in the consumers behaviour. The
brand name, lower price and distributors reputation completely have a significant
impact on the sale of passenger cars. However, the study differs from the above in
that the buyer behaviour in Namakkal in Tamil Nadu was sought to be analysed.

Mornay Roberts-Lombard, Employees as customers An internal marketing


study of the Avis car Rental group in South Africa, African Journal of Business
Management Vol. 4(4), April 2010, pp. 362-372.

The purpose of the article is to investigate the mutually beneficial nature of


establishing long-term relationships with employees as internal customers of the
business. The target population for this study was two hundred and twenty five Avis
car rental branch managers in South Africa. One hundred and fifty five managers of
Avis branches were approached through a structured personal interview in the
completion of questionnaires. Data analysis was done by calculating averages and
standard deviations, explorative factor analysis, Cronbach alpha-values and practical
significance by means of effect sizes. The findings of the study stipulate that a more
coherent attempt must be made to improve the level of internal communication
between the managers of Avis car rental branches and their employees; this would
create an environment within the Avis car rental group that could promote mutual
respect, trust and concern between management and employees.

quality, EKONOMIKA IR VADYBA: 2010. 15, ISSN 1822-6515, pp. 15-19.

This paper aims at verifying weather the intensiveness of prior customers


experiences with the same services provider and other providers affects service
quality. The empirical investigation was conducted in auto service sector. Empirical
research concludes that customer experiences specified by the length of relationship
with a service provider and frequencies of service use do not influence the whole
aspects of service quality. But there are some aspects of service quality that are
affected by customerslongitudinal experiences.

perceptions and satisfaction about Service Quality at Destination Gotland- A case
study, Thesis submitted to: Master thesis in Business Administration, Masters
Program in International Management, 15ECTS Gotland University, Spring
semester 2011.

This thesis discusses and analyses expectations and perceptions about service quality
in Destination Gotland. The aim is to analyse and research about the role of service
quality for creating customer satisfaction and to find out the gap between expectations
and perceptions through the customer point of view. The perceptions can be described
as satisfaction or lack of satisfaction. The survey was constructed as a case-study and
was based on the quantitative method. The results from the different dimensions show
that there is a gap between the expectations and perceptions, which means that the
customers are not fully satisfied with the service quality at Destination Gotland.

measurement scale using Factor analysis: an improved method for understanding
Egyptian car buyers, International Review of Business Research Papers Volume
6. Number 4, September 2010. pp. 58 76.

This article proposes a model which is the first comprehensive formalisation of the
three dimensions of marketing applied to the automobile industry in the Arab World.
This study is an attempt to develop and test a measurement tool aiming at quantifying
the factors affecting satisfaction, customer's satisfaction and loyalty. The validity and
reliability of the measurement scale was tested in the case of Egyptian car industry.
To do that, an instrument was developed on the basis of extensive previous studies,
management experts and personal professional experience. The measurement scale
was applied to Egyptian car owners of a certain (one single) brand to avoid the brand
moderation effect. The scale was found to be reliable and valid. The validity was
tested using an exploratory factor analysis. In conclusion, this study suggests testing
the effect of the three key drivers / dimensions on customer's satisfaction and
consequently on customer's loyalty, and using the results to guide the marketing
activities of car agents working in Egypt. It also suggests investigating the scale in
different industries and contexts.

After-sales services is the provision of services to customers before, during and after a
purchase. It is one of the organizational processes which companies perform in
considering the growing competition of the market and for attracting entrepreneurial
opportunities for increasing profitability and better access to the market, as well as
increasing the customer satisfaction level. It has been mostly used to describe services
that are provided to the customer after the products have been delivered.

Adele Berndt, Investigating service quality dimensions in South African motor
vehicle servicing, African Journal of Marketing Management Vol. 1(1), April
2009. Online http://www.academicjournals.org/ajmm, pp. 1-9.

The motor industry plays a critical role in the economy of South Africa, with respect
to both GDP and employment. Service quality is a fundamental aspect of service
provision, and this is especially the case with motor vehicles, where substantial profits
are generated in the servicing of vehicles. The study was conducted using a
convenience sample of seven hundred and sixty one respondents who were the owners
of various brands of motor vehicles. The questionnaire was a self-completion
questionnaire which consisted of three sections. The factor analysis of the research
indicated that five service quality factors could be identified. Apart from the tangible
factor, the factors identified differed from the dimensions of service quality proposed
by Parasuraman et al. (1988). The dimensions identified also differed from other
studies conducted in service quality dimensions in this context, highlighting the
variable nature of service quality. The implication of this study is that the customer
perceives the way in which the service is delivered as critical in evaluating service
quality.

environment - A factorial analysis, African Journal of Business Management,
Vol.2 (4), April 2009, pp. 160- 167.
Chimun Kumar Nath(2009) The aim of this paper is to make a correlation analysis of
the responses of customers regarding various attribute ratings of a car. Further it also
seeks to determine the underlying benefits consumers are looking from a new
generation car by classifying them according to their relative importance they put in
the attribute ratings by the method of principal component analysis. From the study it
has been observed that customers are purchasing new generation cars because of
several considerations and these considerations can be attributed to two major factors
which may be labelled as: economic benefit factor and social benefit factor.
