JCB in India
Question1 What was the strategic rationale underlying JCB’s entry into India in 1979 and China 2005? Given that the capital to fund expansion is limited, does it make more sense for JCB to expand its presence in these markets, as opposed to more developed markets , such as those of Western Europe? Answer 1 From reading the case study it can be stated that the choice for JCB entrance into the Indian market was due to its construction market. JCB believed that the Indian markets were deemed as being favourable for investments and cold benefit then in the long to a greater extent. The Managers also believed that by entering the Indian market than do competitors they would gain an advantage rather than waiting for when this growth of the Indian market came noticeable to other Manufacturers. JCB being the ranked the fifth largest construction equipment manufacturer in the world thought that it should compete in China on the same level with that of its competitors (namely Caterpillar, Komatsu and Vovlo) reason being that the construction industry was increase at a fast rate and these competitors had already started expansion into the Chinese markets.

Cyreen M St Louis Graduate Gateway Seminar in Global Business and International Trade Final Examination April 30, 2012

Answer 2

JCB decided to enter in the Indian market via joint venture with escorts as opposed to any other entry mode for the reason of the high tariff barriers which made direct exports to foreign markets difficult. A tariff is any tax placed on imports or exports (trade tariffs); they serve as a form of protectionist measure. By JCB engaging into a joint venture with Escorts, JCB was able to gain access into the India market while not having to experience any challenges that may arise when one is starting a business that solely owned. Furthermore, it can be assumed that one reason

    In 1991 the Indian government introduced a series of drastic reforms, liberalizing its government owned and controlled economy. Product expansion and new market entry became easier for companies in virtually every sector of the economy. This presented Tata with many opportunities to leverage its strong brand equity and financial resources to enter new markets and industries. The strong brand image gave it a tremendous advantage over competitors in a variety of industries. However, the government reforms also lowered barriers to entry and increased competition in all of Tata’s industries. Foreign companies flooded into India, threatening to take market share from Tata companies. The world was globalizing and India was liberalizing its economy. Tata was forced to consider its strengths and weakness, analyze its many businesses and their industries, and evaluate the threats and opportunities presented by this changing global economy.…

    International Joint Ventures became common in the late 20th century when companies wanted to venture beyond their native shores in order to extend their area of influence, capture attractive markets and increase profits. Initially only large business ventured out but soon it became a trend that all companies, big, medium or small, found attractive. Most countries have joint ventures functioning out of their soil. The reason for this can be seen in the globalisation of the markets, easy and speedy communication and the use of rapidly changing technologies. (International Joint ventures: Theory and Practice by Aimin Yan and Yadong Luo) There has been a paradigm shift in the way businesses have been conducted right across the world.
