Executive Summary
America car rental company, Hertz corporation is going to enter the Chinese market by doing Joint Venture with eHi Auto Services Co., Ltd, which is second largest car rental company in China. By using Joint Venture, Hertz and eHi Auto Services Co., Ltd can compete with the first largest company, China Auto Rental Holdings Inc. and our services will be competitive in this market.
In the environment analysis perspective, GDP of China was 7,298,147 million in 2011 and it has increased continuously, ranking as the second following the US. Chinese people think that a car has become more and more important role in their normal life than past. So we expect that the demand of a rent car will be high. In China, having a car is a symbol of position and wealth so many people want to have a car. Leasing or short-term rentals are good alternatives for them. Some companies provide their employees rental car for their business, such as sales, meeting etc. And when someone has a car but get drunk in get-together, she/he can call our company to drive her/his car instead, called designated-driver service. Eastern culture emphasizes term “Guanxi” is important for business and their life especially in China. So it happens

    The number of automobiles had risen to over 1 billion vehicles all the world in 2010, which is 20 times more than this number in 1986(Sousanis, John,2011). Car plays a indispensable role in today's society, according to a survey from World Bank(2011), the number of ownership of motor vehicles per 1,000 people is more than 500 in most of developing countries, especially for Monaco, the number was 908(World Bank Data,2009).

    Uva-F-1560, Hertz

    Hertz is an interesting LBO candidate. After evaluating Hertz’s company history and financial statements, we believe that they would be a prime target for a leveraged buyout. In the United States, Hertz is a top three competitor in the rental car market in terms of revenues, mainly competing with Enterprise Rent-A-Car and Avis. Plus, Hertz is currently the leader in the airport rental segment in the U.S. and Europe. This segment was estimated in 2005 to be approximately 79% of the total U.S. RAC revenues. Moreover, Hertz’s HERC segment ranked third in terms of revenues and looked to hold this position as the industry rebounded. To continue, Hertz was listed in BusinessWeek’s “100 Most Valuable Global Brands” in 2005 and every year that it had been illegible for the honor and currently held rental car operations in 145 countries, giving the company an extremely high amount of brand recognition. Some of this high brand equity may be attributed to consumer trust which spurs from Hertz’s stable financial history. Hertz has produced a pretax profit each year since 1967 and had 7.6% compound annual growth rate from 1985 to 2005, showing positive year over year growth in 18 of those 20 years. Moreover, the bidding group believed that an amount of…

    Discuss The Role Of Air Pollution In China

    China has a booming vehicle market that attracts drivers. Louise Watt, a writer for The Huffington Post News online, discusses the growing population of vehicles as the major problem of air pollution. Watt acknowledges that “with more than 13 million cars sold in China last year, motor vehicles have emerged as the chief culprit for the throat-choking air pollution in big cities, especially Beijing…” As the economy revolutionizes Beijing, millions of people can now afford vehicles. In her article, Watt mentions Gao Fei, an owner of a Buick, who says “To be honest, the more the air is polluted, the more I prefer to drive, as I don't like taking a crowded bus or walking outside in such bad air.” Gao is more concerned about his own convenience…

    Vw Fdi in China

    The emergence of a middle class in China began in the 1990s, and the luxury car market soared in this decade. As in many other countries, the car in China was considered a symbol of one’s social status. A class of noveau riche had emerged – a small percentage of the population, but still numbering about 60 million. These were eager to show off their newly acquired social status. They had a preference for luxury foreign cars, particularly Italian or German brands, such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, BMW, Mercedes or Audi.Many carmakers expected to go on and tap into China’s middle-class market, estimated to be around 300 million people. But only a few middle-class car buyers have emerged and then only in a few big cities. These buyers are more price-sensitive, in part due to tighter conditions imposed by the Chinese government to rein in high rates of economic growth. Measures were introduced to toughen the criteria for approving car loans from banks. Moreover, the government has maintained high taxes on luxury brands, despite its WTO commitment to reduce taxes. In response, carmakers introduced price cuts to boost demand. Price seemed to be an important selling point for middleclass Chinese buyers. However, technology was beginning to play…

    Thai Government's First Car Scheme

    In an article entitled “Fuming over first-car scheme”, Pichaya Svasti presents her opinion against the government’s first-car scheme. Firstly, the author claims that the government's first-car scheme has caused traffic more congested. The program allows new car buyers to claim tax rebates of up to 100,000 baht per vehicle per person. And as of Dec 12 more than 1.05 million new car owners have registered for tax rebates totaling 77.1 billion baht. According to Bangkok’s traffic getting worse, people not only Thais but also foreigners wondered why the government wanted more Thais to use personal cars instead of public transport and if the sum of rebated taxes money was not returned to the first-car buyers, it could be spent more effectively on improving public transport system like constructing more underground or sky train routes. The author believes that the new cars from the scheme will cause more consumption of petrol and gas, air pollution and traffic problems. And this may stimulate the construction of more roads instead of public transportation. Nevertheless, many people agree with the government's first-car scheme saying that they need to use personal car to travel far since public transport is insufficient. Some others think the scheme will benefit the economy but actually it will benefit in the short run and unfortunately, it has not benefited all businesses because consumers have been saving money and spending more carefully to pay for their cars so they buy less of lifestyle products. At last, the author said that she decided to opt for public transport and bicycles. Her change will not only save her time and money but also make traffic less congested and the air less polluted even by a fraction.…
