Modelling Approach

The automobile industry in India was highly protected in favour of domestic car manufacturers till the late 1980s. The Government of India’s drastic shift towards economic liberalization and Foreign Direct Investment Policy transformed the automobile industry, since the early 1990s. The ensuing decade witnessed many foreign car manufacturers entering the Indian automobile industry with their models and brands. World leaders in passenger cars such as Toyota, Honda, General Motors, Ford, and Hyundai set up manufacturing hubs in India, cashing on the liberalized Foreign Direct Investment Policy of the Government of India. These manufacturers captured the hearts and minds of Indian car customers, with their choicest of car models with high technological and innovative product offerings, with quality and reliability. This transformed the automobile scene from a seller’s market to buyer’s market. Car customers had started developing their own personal preferences and purchasing patterns, which were hitherto unknown in the Indian automobile segment. This study focused on the influences of various attributes and factors in the consumer purchase behaviour of passenger cars. The logistic modelling approach evaluated as to why the car customers prefer different car segmented models in comparison to a base category model. The article attempted to build a passenger car purchase modelling approach, to evaluate consumer behavioural preferences, which eventually influences the purchase behaviour of passenger car owners. The results of the research would contribute to the practical knowledge base of the automobile industry, specifically to the passenger car segments. The model developed has also a great contributory value addition, to the manufacturers and dealers, for evolving a customized marketing strategy approach.

Abstract The automobile industry developed very rapidly in Korea from the mid-1970s onwards. In the early stage of its development, it used both foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows and technology licensing contracts to utilize advanced foreign technologies. The government mainly preferred technology licensing to FDI inflows to gain access to production technologies. A specific case of FDI is displayed in the joint venture between General Motors and Daewoo Motors. Although there were several improvements and assistances provided to the latter, its performance was relatively unsatisfactory. In contrast, Hyundai Motors relied on technology licensing, which turned out to be successful. Korea’s experience of technology acquisition in the automobile industry shows that for a developing country considering development of its own automobile industry, it would be beneficial to utilize technology licensing rather than FDI inflows.

Significance The government is struggling to manage the health crisis and is distracted by peace negotiations, the impending US troop withdrawal and its own factional infighting. Impacts Foreign direct investment is in decline and will not pick up unless there is clarity about a political settlement. A change in government resulting from the Doha peace talks could up-end fiscal management. Healthcare and social investment policy assume the Taliban will not be influencing policy by end-2021; this may be wrong. The IMF's recommendation of an audit of COVID-19 aid highlights the corruption that blights the government's record.
