15) CASE STUDY :
Mahindra & Mahindra (M & M) is a major player in the tractor and certain segments of
the automobile market in India. After an impressive growth for a few years, the tractor
market in India has been stagnating during 1998-1999 to 2000-2001.
M & M has been selling its tractors and utility vehicles in foreign markets including
USA. Some of the components for its products have been sourced from abroad.
M & M has a 100 per cent subsidiary in USA, Mahindra USA, with a strong network of
100 dealers. Mahindra has a five per cent market share in the US market in the 20-30
horse power (HP) range.
3 | M- 70768 (S13)-2443
As a part of the strategy aimed at building a global supply chain, Mahindra USA has
signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Korean tractor major Tong
Yang, a part of the $ 2 billion Tong Yang Moolsam group, according to which Mahindra
will source high horse power (mostly 25-40 hp range) and sell them around the world
under the M & M brand name. To start with, the premium range of tractors will be sold in
the US.
M & M?s current tractor range is more utility-oriented and lacks the aesthetic appeal that
Tong Yang?s tractors have a must for a strong presence in the US market.
Questions :
a) What are the advantages and disadvantages of global sourcing?
b) How will the foreign market expansion help M & M?
c) How does the strategic alliance with Tong Yang benefit M & M?
d) What are the possible risks of the alliance? How can they be overcome/ minimized?
