First nd formost, w would lik to xtnd our sincr grtitud to our profssor Prof
Mdhushr Nnd for giving us th opportunity to work on this projct nd giving us hr
undividd ttntion nd support tht hlpd us pursu this projct nd s it to fulfillmnt.
W would lso lik to xtrn our grtitud to our stmd collg, Mngmnt Dvlopmnt
Institut, Gurgon for providing th infrstructur nd othr rsourcs rquird for this projct.
Lst but not th lst w would lik to thnk our prs who hv bn vry supportiv of us nd
our fforts.
xcutiv Summry
This projct focuss on th orgnistionl chngs tht took plc in Toyot Motor Corportion
in 2010 nd 2013. It nlyss both th chngs with in dpth study on vrious fctors which
cusd thm nd how nd whn th rstructuring hppnd.
In th rstructuring of 2010, th nlyss shows tht it ws both xtrnl mrkt dmnd cusd
by fctors such s rcssion, rclls of Toyot Motor products on vry lrg scl; nd lso
som intrnl fctors such s tchnologicl chng.
Toyot Motor Corportion bgn s Toyot in 1933 s division of Toyod utomtic Loom
Works. It bcm Toyot Motor Co. in 1937 whn it ws stblishd s n indpndnt compny.
In Sptmbr 1947, Toyots smll-sizd vhicls wr sold undr th nm of Toyopt which
ws ltr droppd in th mricn mrkts. In th 1960s-70s, th US mrkts strtd lvying
high txs on import of vhicls du to which Toyot strtd building its plnts in US.
In 1980s, Toyot first rcivd Jpns Qulity Control wrd nd strtd prticipting in wid
vrity of motorsports. In 1989 Toyot lunchd its prmir brnd Lxus in th luxury division.
Toyot rnkd ighth on Forbs 2000 list of th world's lding compnis for th yr 2005 but
slid to 55 for 2011.Th compny ws numbr on in globl utomobil sls for th first qurtr
of 2008.
In 2009-10, Toyot fcd mjor crisis whn thr ws high products rcll i.. 9 million crs
nd trucks worldwid lding to loss of $1.1 Billion.

Wht hppnd in 2010?
In 2010, Toyot nnouncd significnt chng in its orgnistionl structur owing to vrious
intrnl nd xtrnl drivrs. Toyot hs bn known to chng its orgnistionl dsign vr so
oftn in ordr to provid comptitiv dg to th compny in th mrkt. Som of th mjor
chngs tht took plc in 2010 wr:
xtrnl Fctors:
1. Incrsd Comptition: n orgnistion lik Toyot which ws lwys volving, hving
comptitiv dg ws mjor rson for succss. So, in ordr to kp itslf brst with
th rcnt ris in comptition of utomobils worldwid, Toyot hd to chng its
structur
2. Globliztion: In ordr to dvlop globl strtgis nd policis, Toyot Motor Compny
hd to shift from its Ntionlly focussd division structur to mor globlly focusd
cntrlisd structur for strtgy nd dcision mking
3. Chng in nds of Consumrs: Du to th rcnt globl conomic rcssion, th buying
bhviour of th consumrs hd chngd lrgly. Sinc Toyot hd doptd cost
diffrntition strtgy, in ordr to cop with th chnging buying pttrns, Toyot hd
to chng itslf
4. Shortg of Rsourcs: Du to rcssion, thr ws mjor shortg of rsourc
vilbility. Mny compnis hd lso hd to lt go of fw of thir mploys to
compnst for th dcrsing sls. Toyot instd md dcision to kp tight lsh
on th rsourcs nd thus utilis thm so tht production nd sls didnot suffr
Intrnl Fctors:
1. Tchnology Chngs: Toyot hs lwys blivd in th principl of Kizn nd thus
thy hv constntly chngd thir structur nd gols to kp up with th chng in
nvironmnt. Th mjor intrnl drivr to chng th tchnology constntly hs bn th
ggrssiv modl tht thy hv followd. Toyot hs lwys surroundd itslf with
innovtiv nginrs nd dsignrs to kp th comptition liv
2. Compny Growth: Toyot followd policy of constnt growth nd it ws du to this
fctor tht mny of th orgnistionl gols hd chngd in 2010. In ordr to fulfil ths
gols, th structur ws mjorly chngd. Th chngs wr md to kp th xcutivs,
mngmnt nd vn customrs on thir tos
dditions in 2012
Th Toyot Globl Vision ws dclrd in Mrch 2011. In ordr to rliz this, Toyot in pril
mployd chngs to th mngmnt systm nd ssocitd prsonnl chngs of dirctors nd
orgniztionl rforms. Th im ws to
dvntgs nd Disdvntgs of
this structur
dvntgs:
Disdvntgs:
R&D Group 1 chngd its nm to R&D Group, whil R&D Group 2, th Production
nginring Group nd th Mnufcturing Group wr rorgnizd s th nwly
stblishd Unit Cntr nd th Vhicl Production nginring & Mnufcturing Group
Th Public ffirs Division chngd from division not blonging to ny group to prt
of th xtrnl ffirs & Public ffirs Group
Th BR Profit Informtion Mngmnt Dprtmnt ws stblishd

Th Nw Orgnistionl Structur:
Fturs of th nw structur:
Th nw structur hs th following fturs:
Globl Hirrchy:
Th orgnistion still mintind Globl Hirrchy in its structur. But, th dcision
mking powr of rgionl nd businss hds hs incrsd to hug xtnt.
Gogrphic Divisions:
ch rgionl hd rports to th compnys hdqurtrs. Through ths rgionl
divisions, th orgniztionl structur nbls Toyot to improv products nd srvics
ccording to rgionl mrkt conditions.
Product Bsd Divisions:
Th 4 product bsd divisions hlp in dvlopmnt of brnds nd product lins.
Common Functionl ntitis:
Th vrious Functionl ntitis which hv bn md common to ll 4 product bsd
divisions shows tht th currnt structur doptd is Globl Mtrix Structur.
Coordintion:
In th nw structur, hug mount of coordintion is rquird btwn functionl hds
such s R&D nd th vrious Product Division hds so s to provid bst qulity
products to customrs. Coordintion ws lso rquird btwn Lxus Intrntionl tm
nd th othr rgionl hds (spcilly tht of Toyot No.1 mrgnt mrkts) so s to
promot nd mrkt Lxus s prmir brnd cross glob
Mngril Comptncis:
Th Globl Mtrix Structur mnt tht thr ws nd for High Locl Rsponsivnss
nd Globl fficincy. In this cs, th top mngmnt must focus on prioritizing
rsourc lloction to ch division. lso thr is hug rquirmnt of lowr lvl tms
to produc good tmwork nd lso dvlopmnt of ldrship skills.
In ordr to gin mrkt ldrship, mrkting tms must b highly productiv.
Commitmnt:
Th product dvlopmnt strtgy followd hr mnt tht th product dvlopmnt
tms must nsur unusul lvls of inititiv tking nd lso R&D must work to bst of
its cpbilitis.
Communiction:
Sinc th structur now hs bn dcntrlisd to som xtnt, it is highly importnt to
communict th globl vision nd mission of orgnistion to ll divisions.
Mjor chllngs tht cn occur in succssful implmnttion of th structur:
Unclr communiction of gols of orgnistion cn dstroy th mrkt ldrship tht
th orgnistion hs gind ovr th yrs
Rgulr mtings nd intrctions btwn vrious division hds is must so s to stop
from th vrious divisions to work in silos

hds do not focus on thm
Rgionl rquirmnts could ld to customiztion of crs bsd on gogrphicl
rquirmnts thus hmpring th growth of th orgnistion s Globl Brnd
Tight control from th top mngmnt could hv ngtiv ffct nd not produc th

Nw Suggstd Structur
1. Chngs rquird in structur, systms, stff, styl or shrd vlus:
focus on product bsd orgnistion rthr thn function bsd orgnistion is ky
solution. Thus, thr is rquirmnt of crting diffrnt divisions for product bsd in
hous dvlopmnt.
Th 4 divisions cn b md into 7 divisions bsd on th products of th compny:
R &D (For innovtion)
Compct Cr Division
Mid-Siz Vhicl Division
CV Division
Lxus Intrntionl Division
PowrTrin Division
Connctd Division
Division of functions lik R&D, production nginring nd mnufcturing oprtions
cn b dividd into dvnc nd mss production ctgoris nd thn llottd to ch of
th bov division.
Toyot No. 1 nd Toyot No. 2 should b mintind nd strngthnd to build
strong rltionl oprtions
Stting up of Cntrl Rsrch Cntr to look into long trm businss modls nd
strtgy for th orgnistion
stblishing division for mid to long trm strtgic plnning to dtrmin futur
strtgic dirctions
2. How will th orgnistion function bttr ftr ths chngs r md?
Sinc TMC still rlis highly on individul fforts md by its own tm mmbrs
nd stkholdrs du to its prsnt structur nd work procsss nd lso cross-
functionl coordintion hs bn found to b highly tim consuming, this structur
will hlp in solving this
Th rgion bsd units will compt nd lrn from ch othr whil oprting
