A Historical Approach on the Opportunity to Acquire Technology Development Capability in Turkish Automobile Industry

Turkey has given importance to the development of the automobile industry since the Ottoman period.While the Ottomans,who were aware of the development process of the automobile industry in the world,provided transportation by horse-drawn carriage,they thought of importing automobiles for the Sultan and high-level bureaucrats in an effort to switch to automobile transportation.However,after the proclamation of the Republic,automobile production started,just like airplanes.While a factory was established for the production of a domestic aircraft,the first automobile production facility was established in Istanbul in 1929 by the American Ford company.This factory was closed after a short time due to the world economic crisis.After the activities of the Kayseri Aircraft Factory,which lasted until 1948,came to an end,this time,Revolution car prototypes could be manufactured completely domestically in 1961.After the project,which did not go into mass production,the KoçGroup started to produce the domestically-made Anadol car with technology transfer from multiple sources in 1967,but the production of Anadol continued until 1984.In 1971,Renault cars started to be produced under the French Renault license,and TOFAŞcars under the Italian FIAT license.Towards the end of the 1970s,creative imitation applications were made in TOFAŞcars with the bird series.In the 1990s,the production of Japanese Honda and Toyota and South Korean Hyundai cars started.In 2011,the idea of producing a domestic automobile emerged,the Devrim automobile was taken as an example in this project,the first Togg prototype was manufactured with technology transfer from multiple sources in December 2018,and it was announced that mass production would begin in March 2023.The 12-year period from 2011 to 2023 is too long for the creation of a domestic automobile.It has been understood that this long process has been passed in order to regain the pre-1980 level of technological ability.However,the most important thing is the transition from the creative imitation stage to the innovation stage.Our wish is that this process can be shortened with phase skipping approaches.

Chinese Automobile Industry’s Position in the Global Value Chain and Its Development Paths Under New Circumstances

While analyzing how the global automobile landscape has shifted and what role the Chinese automobile industry is playing in the global value chain,this paper points out that traditional automobile superpowers are being overtaken by emerging markets and countries;though China’s position in the global automobile industry keeps rising,it is yet to be intimately involved and incorporated into each link of the global value chain.China is now somehow stuck in the middle reaches of the global value chain and is susceptible to being replaced by other countries and regions in the global automobile trade.Under new circumstances,the Chinese automobile industry must step up its transformation from depending on scale and speed to seeking quality and profitability.Not only must China consistently and steadily promote openness within its automobile industry and steadfastly hold on to trade liberalization and economic globalization,but also must deepen its reform to improve the internal institutional environment for the development of its automobile industry.

Automotive Service Quality Investigation Using a Grey-DEMATEL Model

In today’s fast-challenging business environment,automobile manufacturers are required to supply customers with high-quality vehicles at competitive prices.However,existing research on factors influencing service quality lacks a detailed and systematic understanding,and there is no consensus study on causal relationship and measuring the weights of service quality factors in the automotive manufacturing industry.This study provides an integrated technique for evaluating the automotive service quality in the context of VinFast-the Vietnamese leading brand.First,the Grey Theory System(GTS)is utilized to estimate the subjective views of the decision maker(DM)and overcome incomplete and vague decision information.Then,a Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory approach integrated with GTS(Grey-DEMATEL)is proposed not only to define the cause-effect factors but also to quantify the causal relationship of proposed criteria,which is based on comprehensive analyses of the current service quality literature and experts’opinions,as well as to capture the criteria weights.The results show that the weights of main criteria can be sorted as follow:Tangibility>Reliability>Assurance>Pricing>Empathy>Responsiveness.Among the proposed sub-criteria,Pricing is the top concern compared to other dimensions,making it a prerequisite for VinFast.The causal relationships of VinFast’s service quality are discovered by the Grey-DEMATEL technique.The findings also indicated a rising need for VinFast to focus on Empathy.Furthermore,the proposed model might be used as a decision support tool to contribute to the literature on service quality,provide recommendations for future study,and assist managers in improving service qualitymore efficiently.
