  1. Hong Kong China Business(BUSS411) Problem 1: Entry strategies for China business Group Y Group members: Chan Yung Mui, Dan 00253267d Chow Yuen Kwan, Inty 00214132d Lau Wing Ho 00214637d Lo Wai Kwan, Rachel 00306791d Leung Pui Yee, Cherie 00238956d

  2. Company Background  Company Name: Grvovufas (manufacturing company)  Owner: Mr. Dai Wai See  Year of establishment: 1963  Product: electronic toys  Business Mode: OEM(Original Equipment Manufacturer) ~ design(customers in US and Europe) ~ manufacture(Grvovufas)  Move production unit to Dongguan in 1988

  3. Middle size with owned-technology department • Hong Kong Office is the decision-making party • Factory in China was just for production • Grvovufas provided machinery, components of production • Local gov’t provided land for the factory • Employed 200 local workers

  4. The issue concerned: • Grvovufas had three contractual joint ventures with the township government; • The business has been profitable and no major disagreements; • The contracts for the joint ventures will run out in 2004 Should re-new the contractual JVs? Change the mode of operation to equity JV or wholly-owned subsidiary?

  5. Content 1. Characteristics of electronic toy industry 2. Situation in Guangdong Province (especially Dongguan) 3. Comparisons of the 3 operation modes 4. Final Decision 5. Preparation for selected mode

  6. 1. Characteristics of electronic toy industry ~Prevailing trend of Hong Kong manufacturers moving the base of production and the procedure of assembly into the Mainland ∵ Cost of production (fixed cost of land, cost of labor , operation cost of running the factory, e.g. cost of electricity and water)

  7. (i) Labor-intensive ~ abundant supply of cheap labor ~ the local enterprises earn from the value-added procedure and managing, by providing its cheap labor ~ a lot of labors are required for working along the conveying belts to assemble each part of components of the electronic toys by specialization (repetitive tasksefficient)

  8. (ii) Capital / Technology Level ~ some manufacturing procedures may be inevitable required the use of machinery (e.g. conveying belts, the machine for packaging) ~China still a developing country  low technology level ~but not big problem in this case ∵ just require having the components assembled, but not having them invented or produced

  9. (iii) Scale of Operation ~ most of the Mainland toy manufacturers  small-sized enterprises with annual value of production of between 2 to 3 million dollars ~limited budgets for R&D but not big problem in this case ∵ just require manufacturing , instead of new product development

  11. 2. Situation in Dongguan Geographical Location of Dongguan:

  12. Transportation of Dongguan Harbor => airport - International airport in Guangzhou - Hong Kong international airport Highway Railway

  13. Geographical advantages of Dongguan • Located at middle south of Guangdong province • The “water distance” between HK is 47 “Holi” • Dongguan is the throat of transportation between HK and Guangzhou  comprehensive transportation network (harbor, railway, highway airport)

  14. Toy industry in Dongguan • 70% of China’s toy industry located in Guangdong • many toy’s firms (different size, objectives, target market) located in Dongguan • no specific requirements in toys production

  15. License required in our company Application for export product license Source: http://www.dgboftec.gov.cn/en/03/yewu_erke06.html

  16. 3. Modes of operation A. Contractual Joint Ventures(CJVs) -the partnership will dissolve after a specified period [3 years contract with township gov’t] Adv:  easier to get gov’t info ~ polices about toy industry  convenient to ask for gov’t resources ~ toy industry need a large place  get the approval from authority in short term ~ get the license for export

  17. Disadv:  imbalance bargaining power (bear more responsibility of gov’t resources) ~ recruit not first priority workers who live in Dongguan  extra unnecessary training needed  great chance to alter contract when renewal ~ required to remove the site due to development plan of government itself  use more resources to write a contract ~ human resources, time cost

  18.  : contractor=gov’t ~ gov’t take more social responsibility and consideration inflexible in decision making can’t react to market promptly  different goal ~ grvovufas: profit maximization & focus on quality ~ gov’t : benefit to Dongguan Not re-new contract with government (WTO--open market--rely on gov’t )

  19. B. Equity Joint Ventures (EJVs) -a long-term relationship among the partners that manage the JV -shared equity and resources Adv:  synergistic effect - partners’ strength complement with each other  more control & greater potential ROI(return on investment)  opportunism mutual trust tolerate each other long-term viability of EJVs  build guanxi network via local partners

  20. Disadv:  giving our technology to a future rival ~ how to produce advance electronic toys ~ how to deal with foreign countries  conflicts may occur ~ diff. strategies (technology Vs people) ~ ownership of assets  low enforcement of intellectual property right in China  technology spillover  harm own business

  21. C. Wholly-owned subsidiary(WOS)/ Foreign Direct Investment(FDI) - represents the greatest commitment to foreign markets and may be either in the form of acquisitions or greenfield investments Adv:  minimizes market imperfections ~ barriers to exporting/ licensing  enjoy flexibility and managerial control ~ no burden of uncooperative partner  faster to establish than EJVs ~ WOS(30days) vs JVs(no time limit)

  22. Disadv:  neglect of Guanxi ~ toy industry rely heavily with chinese agents  procure land, hire workers  raise questions of cultural and economic sovereignty ~ China view: foreign company take advantage  WOS = foreign island  vulnerable to criticism

  23. 4. Suitable Mode  criteria = advantage + suit our situation Decision: EJVs Decision: EJVs Decision: EJVs

  24. reason: a) company size : medium ~  capital(to rent land, build factory, hire workers) b) business mode: OEM ~ produce, not design  unstable order (depends USA, Europe demand)  share risk c) balance bargaining power ~ more control (vs CJVs)

  25. d) synergistic effect ~ Grovovufas: components, technology, experience, management ~ local partners: knowledge about local culture & polices, good guanxi network ( we have this with gov’t before only) e) goal : production only/ meet the order  enter or expand China market  no need to be WOS f) no restriction specially for exporting toy industry  the need as a WOS

  26. problem arise? a) technology spillover? Grvovufas: machinery, expensive component from Japan  difficult to duplicate the toy

  27. b) difficult to find partner? Guangdong 70% of China’s toy industry in 2000, output from Guangdong = 38.5billions ~ well-developed environment certain level of technology(e.g. machinery) skillful worker  easy to find experienced partner  not much investment needed source:http://www.tdctrade.com/sme/chinese/chinatory.htm

  28. Content of EJVs HK: Grvovufas ~ provide machinery ~ buy component ~ take and fill order ~ delivery from Dongguan to H.K. China: local partner ~ provide land ~ build factory ~ hire worker (with training) ~ deal with township regulation

  29.  set profit & cost sharing proportion  arrange a emergence fund  visit and evaluation regularly  send a team of quality control and management in China
