Abstract:
In recent years, the global automobile industry continues to develop, and mergers and acquisitions between enterprises have become an important strategic means of the industry. Geely's acquisition of Volvo has become one of the focal points of the global auto industry. This paper examines the Geely acquisition of Volvo, analyzing its motivation of acquisition and strategic goal, financing, potential risk, competition, and achievement. The study found that Geely's acquisition of Volvo enhanced Geely's position in the global market, strengthened the competitiveness of Chinese automakers, and accelerated the development of its own brands. At the same time, Volvo also gained a broader market and resources from Geely's acquisition, which helped to enhance brand value and market share. The research offers empirical insights for the automotive industry, guiding decision-making and providing policy recommendations. Investors should monitor industry dynamics, while leaders should evaluate strategies and enhance cross-cultural management capabilities. Governments can support domestic firms' global competitiveness and promote industry sustainability. In summary, this paper contributes to the understanding of the Geely-Volvo acquisition and offers guidance for stakeholders.

Abstract:
Pursuing M&As is an important growth strategy for many companies. This study examines whether Geely has succeeded in improving the acquirer’s performance as expected over a long-time span. In particular, it: (i) assesses the short-term and long-term post-acquisition firm performance respectively; and (ii) establishes a post-acquisition performance evaluation framework for Chinese automobile companies’ overseas M&As based on their motivations. By investigating the influence of acquiring Volvo on Geely’s performance as a case of outbound M&A during the financial crisis, this research will serve as an example of evaluating M&As as a mechanism for corporate growth in the automobile industry of China or other emerging economies.

Abstract:
The current economic situation in Russia is characterized by significant instability due to the large sanctions burden provided by the countries of Europe and the United States because of the special military operation in Ukraine. In the emerging conditions, which caused an increase in inflation, currency volatility, the closure of a large number of companies in various market segments, and, consequently, unemployment, almost all economic activity has become very difficult. Thus, domestic automobile production was also affected. One of the latest measures aimed at destabilizing the Russian automotive industry within the framework of the next package of sanctions in March 2022 was a partial ban on the supply of high-tech products to the country and support for the IT-infrastructure of enterprises. Because of the withdrawal of foreign companies from the Russian market, production facilities such as: Volvo Cars, Jaguar, Land Rover, General Motors, Mitsubishi and others has stopped. The number of Russian car dealers by May has decreased significantly compared to the beginning of the year. Thus, about 70 dealer contracts were terminated. One of the largest car plants in Russia Avtovaz has already stopped its operation several times, and soon the French car concern Renault is going to transfer its share to the Central Automobile Research Institute FGUP NAMI with a buy-out option in 56 years and the production of most models of Renault will be stopped. The situation is also complicated by the already existing crisis in the industry due to the global shortage of semiconductors and other automotive components and newly emerged problems with logistics. There is an obvious need to conclude new deals, find new markets for purchasing raw materials and materials, intensify cooperation with friendly countries and use their experience, which can be done on the basis of uniting Russian clusters and foreign technological platforms, namely the TP of China is being considered.

Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to analyse longitudinally the development of purchasing strategies in the automotive industry during the last 20 years. The amplitude of the business cycle during this time frame has been very high and includes periods of financial/automotive crisis as well as high sales and demand. Our empirical data is primarily drawn from a 1990–2010 longitudinal case study of the relationship between automaker Volvo Personal Cars and Autoliv, a supplier of seat belts and airbags, complemented with secondary data framing the development of the industry level. The theoretical focus is on outsourcing and purchasing strategies developed within long-lasting buyer-supplier relationships; theoretical pillars are found in transaction-cost theories and the resource-based view of the firm. Based on the longitudinal case study, our analysis pinpoints the importance of intimate cooperation between customer and supplier in areas close to the core values and core competences of the buyer (that is, the automaker). From an industry-level perspective, the winners in the automobile industry from 2010 and onwards have been and will be those who can organize long-term collaboration partnerships between the automakers, their suppliers, and the political stakeholders, and who can outsource a large part of the technical development to the suppliers in areas also close to the core competences. The automakers must accept that their suppliers have competing automakers as their customers and search for synergies in their product portfolio. Theoretically, there is a need for conceptual development through deeper studies of the firm's relational capability and its implications.

Abstract: AI in driving is introduced as a self-driving in automobile industries. This research paper is presents a scient metric and bibliometric analysis on self-driving cars. A self-driving car (sometimes called an autonomous car or driverless car) is a vehicle that uses a combination of sensors, cameras, radar and artificial intelligence (AI) to travel between destinations without a human operator. To qualify as fully autonomous, a vehicle must be able to navigate without human intervention to a predetermined destination over roads that have not been adapted for its use. Companies developing and/or testing autonomous cars include Audi, BMW, Ford, Google, General Motors, Tesla, Volkswagen and Volvo, Tata Motors and Mahindra. Google's test involved a fleet of self-driving cars -- including Toyota Prii and an Audi TT -- navigating over 140,000 miles of California streets and highways. Through an examination of quantitative empirical evidence, we explore the importance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as machine learning, deep learning and data mining on self-driving car research and development as measured by patents and papers. Alongside the exponential growth in the rate of inventive activities and scholarly efforts, we find evidence for a rapid and meaningful shift in the application of the technologies related to data gathering and processing for the purpose of self-driving cars after 2009. We show that this shift mirrors major changes in the landscape of innovators as well as increasing scholarly attention to the ethical, legal and social aspects of self-driving cars. Research and innovation relating to self-driving seem to be increasingly defined in terms of artificial intelligence, which neglects some aspects of future sociotechnical systems that may be required to realise the potential of the technology. Keywords: AI car, self-driving, Simulation test, autonomous cars, autopilot car.

Abstract:
The huge market potential of some fast growing markets attract many international organizations’ attention, especially China, as a huge automobile market is one of the most typical examples. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to explore how Volvo Cars increase brand equity in Chinese automobile market. To answer this question, a literature review about brand equity and marketing strategy is done to create an analytical framework which is the foundation of the empirical observation and research analysis. Furthermore, the study constitutes a valuable source of information of Volvo’s operated marketing strategy, as well as providing practical situation on customer perception on a brand through interviewing Volvo's owners in different countries. The results of analysis and discussion indicated that there are distinctive customer perceptions in China and the appraised the Volvo brand equity is not completely matching the strategic goals. In this case, in order to increase brand equity in China, Volvo should craft and execute the corresponding marketing strategy on brand for the distinctive Chinese customer perceptions. As such, this paper complements previous research through presenting the current situation of Chinese automobile market and comprehending how Volvo as global car brand operating and performing in China from brand equity perspective. In that sense, this paper can contribute and add some useful information in this study field for other further studies.

Abstract:
The automotive industry has given over the last seven decades to the industrial world a sustained demand for vehicles. It is classed as one of the largest industries in the world and an industry that most use and develop new technologies with the goal to reduce their costs and increase their productivity.The Japanese philosophy that calls from the west-world for Lean Management is based on, among other things, the elimination of the "muda" which translates as waste through continuous efforts aimed at achieving a robust manufacturing. To achieve this, uses several methods and tools and among others is the Just-In-Time approach the most abundant. JIT means the right material will be in the right place at a specific time. This study will most be focused on a strategy that is considered the most extreme application of the concept, namely the Just-In-Sequence strategy in which the components are delivered in the right time and in the right sequence in a pull system manufacturing there the goal is to see if the lead times and resource need can be minimized.To test the appropriate theory takes the study place at Volvo Cars in Torslanda, Sweden. Volvo Cars manufactures some of the most popular cars in the world, with production in Europe, Asia, and from 2018 also in the United States. The company implements the Lean methods and especially JIT but also JIS in some parts of the assembly.This study was done on the engine department there the engines arrive from the supplier in a rack that runs further to the different buffers and from there to the production line for final assembly.The purpose was to investigate and report on how the company could through using of the JIS strategy affect the material flow as well as which economic benefits had this implementation resulted.The study took into account both sequencing at the supplier and sequencing in the plant after the arrival. Both methods resulted a more efficient flow of materials in which a reduction in the need of resources was noted. The sequencing at the supplier proved to be even more advantageous, as in most of the cases, production costs less at suppliers but also the reduction in capital was radically.IITo achieve a perfect sequence requires close cooperation with the suppliers and a quite big investment to create robust processes that eliminates the error probability.The main recommendation to Volvo Cars is to mostly focus on the big picture than on each plant individually. To achieve a more efficient flow and a better result for the entire organization is something that should be given priority even if a facility would then get a worse result. Finally, it is recommended to Volvo Cars to invest in a Just-In-Sequence strategy which bring benefits such as freeing up operative area in the factory, but most important of all, it reduces the lead times and the resource-costs.
Fordonsindustrin har under de senaste sju decennierna gett till industriella världen en oförminskad efterfrågan på fordon. Den klassas som en utav de största industrierna i världen samt en industri som mest använder och utvecklar ny teknik med mål att sänka sina kostnader och öka sin produktivitet.Den japanska filosofin som västervärlden kallar för Lean management grundar på bland annat eliminering av ”muda” som översätts som slöseri genom ett kontinuerligt arbete som siktar till att uppnå ett robust tillverkningssystem. För att uppnå detta används flera metoder och verktyg och bland andra är Just-In-Time metoden den mest förekommande. JIT innebär att rätt material ska vara på rätt plats på en specifik tid. I denna studie kommer mest läggas fokus på en strategi som anses av de flesta företag vara den mest extrema tillämpningen av konceptet, nämligen Just-In-Sequence strategin där komponenterna levereras helt enkelt i rätt tid och i rätt sekvens i ett dragande system och målet är att se om ledtiderna och resursbehovet kan minimeras.För att prova den lämpliga teorin äger studien rum på Volvo Cars i Torslanda. Volvo Cars tillverkar några utav de mest efterfrågade bilarna i världen med produktion i Europa, Asien och från och med 2018 i USA. Företaget använder sig av de ovannämnda Lean metoderna som JIT men även JIS på vissa delar av monteringen.Denna studie skedde specifikt på motoravdelningen där motorer ankommer ifrån leverantören i rack som vidare körs till olika buffertar och därifrån till produktionsbandet för slutmonteringen.Syftet var att undersöka och redogöra för hur företaget kan med hjälp av JIS-strategin påverka företagets materialflöde samt vilka ekonomiska fördelar hade denna implementering medfört.Studien tog hänsyn till både försekvensering hos leverantören och sekvensering efter ankomsten till fabriken. Båda två metoderna resulterade i ett effektivare materialflöde där en minskning av behövande resurser märktes. Sekvenseringen hos leverantören visade sig vara ännu fördelaktig då i de flesta av fallen är tillverkningskostnaderna mindre hos leverantörer men även minskning av bundet kapital var radikalt. Att nå en perfekt sekvens kräver nära samarbete med leverantören och en ganska stor investering för att skapa robusta processer som eliminerar felsannolikheten.Den huvudsakliga rekommendationen till Volvo Cars är att fokusera mest på helheten än på varje fabrik individuellt. Att nå ett effektivare flöde och ett bättre resultat för hela koncernen är något som borde prioriteras även om en anläggning skulle i så fall få ett mindre bra resultat. Slutligen rekommenderas till Volvo Cars att investera i en Just-In-Sequence strategi något som medför fördelar genom att frigöra viktig yta i fabriken men viktigaste av allt, genom att minska sina ledtider och sina resurskostnader.

In March 2010, the Chinese local car company Geely Automobile acquisition of Volvo Car which is internationally renowned car company, shocked the world's car companies. The case is one of the largest acquisitions for China in recent years, the result of the case will affect the willingness and opportunities towards the overseas M&A in the future. The key of acquisition is how Geely integration Volvo in post-merger integration (PMI). Therefore, the study use PMI analysis analyze Geely acquisition of Volvo's situation and event study methods to explore whether Geely Automobile shareholders be profitable or not. In the event study methods, this study determined the first time of published in the newspaper (October 29, 2009)of the acquisition be event date. The results found with previous empirical studies that most acquiring company’s shareholder had negative cumulative abnormal returns(CAR), But Geely shareholder has a positive CAR in this study. In PMI analysis, the study use six standards which include vision, leadership, grown, culture, communication, and risk management to analyze. The study found that Geely Automobile has not been fully integrated with the Volvo, the main reason is cultural conflict between the two sides, leading to different cars concept. In addition, the pressure from the Swedish Government and the Association also the factor that they can not fast integration.

Merger and acquisition is one of the companies to pursue growth strategies in China''s auto industry started fairly late, the car''s brand image and lack of patented technology accumulation, production capacity in recent years, although growing rapidly, their own brand names in the international automotive industry in a backward state. A time when the international financial crisis, the value of European companies has shrunk dramatically, with appreciation of the RMB exchange rate advantages, China companies pleasantly surprised to find a new round of mergers and acquisitions gold cycle is at hand. From science and technology, petroleum, petrochemicals, automobiles to home appliances retail, leather garments, from state-owned enterprises to private enterprises, China is entering the acceleration of overseas acquisitions. In this paper, case study approach to explore China enterprises mergers and acquisitions, and Geely acquisition of Nordic luxury car brand VOLVO as a case to explore the process of Geely acquisition of VOLVO cars, motivation, strategies and funding sources to analyze, discuss Geely successful acquisition taken strategies, as well as in combination with government funds and foreign funds allow Geely automobile shares became the second largest shareholder of the success factors. Results of the study are the advantages of Geely Automobile, buttressed by the devaluation, combined with foreign investment Goldman Sachs and local government financing platform, and with the interests of local governments is the intersection, where Geely factories, where there is employment tax, so local governments financing willing to Geely automobile. The Volvo brand image in the "World Top 500 Brands" list 2005--2015 years of rankings, and not because of the acquisition of China''s Geely Automobile has been affected.

Abstract Merger and acquisition is one of the strategies for business to develop and pursuer excellence. Because of the late entrance into the auto- mobile market, Chinese automobile industries are restricted by patents hold by other manufacturers. In order to overcome the difficulties of technologies, Chinese government has drawn up the policy “Market in Exchange for Technology” to help automobile industry in China to get technology from foreign investor but unfortunately it did not succeed. With the automobile sales market in China is growing, Chinese local own brand automobile manufactures also sales more quantity of cars but their quality is not as good as foreign automobile manufacturers. This is because the technology of Chinese own brand manufactures have been restricted by foreigner's patents. Admittedly, merger and acquisition is one of the best way to get the key resources for the company, but the prerequisite is the ideal merge target and whether it confirms to the acquirer's requirements. The research is to discuss Geely's successful acquisition of Volvo. This is an interesting case because the two companies have dissimilar backgrounds and histories. The research will also analysis the sales market among Geely, Ford and Volvo, to find out why Ford want to sale Volvo in less than half price and what are Geely's strategies to acquire Volvo. The result of the research shows that the Geely's merger strategies focus on globalization, brand expansion and patent technology of Volvo .Due to the brand values of Geely and Volvo are very different, dual-brand operation is the key to minimize the impact of the two companies at the beginning .We also find the key successful reasons for the acquisition are "respecting the culture of acquired corporation, protecting their work right, professional acquisition team and government's support".

Abstract:
Abstract The year of the first oil crisis, 1973, marked the end of an era for the Western automobile producers, and for the Swedish car makers Volvo and Saab in particular. During the 1950s and 1960s, they had enjoyed rapid growth and prospered in spite of being small-scale producers together accounting for only 1 per cent of global car production. Operating in a small open economy, Volvo and Saab were severely affected by the sudden transition to a low growth market. In 1974, Volvo announced its first deal in a strategy for continued expansion: the acquisition of the DAF company in the Netherlands. The same year, Volvo also inaugurated two new plants in Sweden, Kalmar and Skovde, both designed according to socio-technical principles, by means of which Volvo hoped to solve its severe personnel problems and safeguard future worker recruitment. These two events, the acquisition in the Netherlands and the high-profile departure from a Fordist plant design in Sweden, highlight two themes which continued to shape Volvo’s agenda into the 1980s and 1990s. The company’s struggle to survive as an independent automobile maker in a small, open economy has shaped its strategic orientation. Its efforts to respond to Swedish labour market pressures formed the basis for a distinctive production model.

Abstract First came the tinkerers, lonely visionaries, and then the artisans. Then came Ford. Some years later, in a far away and economically very differently situated country, the Toyoda firm asked Mr Ohno to consider how the Americans manufactured cars (Cusumano 1985). The fruits of this became the Toyota production system. This, the MIT report tells us, is the be all and end all of manufacturing systems and should be implemented forthwith everywhere (Womack et al. 1990). Is there nothing but managerial myopia or sloth behind the slow and uncertain process of its diffusion? What of the experiments in neo-craft production, for example in the Volvo works at Uddevalla? What of the varied and incomplete adaptions in North America, in Europe, and in transplant operations even farther afield? What of Toyota’s own recent systematic retreat in its newer plants in Japan?

Abstract:
The typical feature of emergent economies is a slow, apparent transformation from being predominantly a home base of Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) to becoming more home markets for various firms that expand internationally. In this aspect, China differs from its Asian forerunners. Without question, the most rapid development in recent decades within East Asia and the global economy as a whole is the (re-)emergence of China. While most studies on growth strategies for multinational corporations from emerging economies come from the perspective of economic strategies in international business, this study offers a novel perspective by using visual semiotics as a framework of study and analysis of data. It uses theories of social semiotics borne of the traditions of linguistics to conduct a systematic analysis of the representations of China's desire to go global with their automobile industry. The company in focus is China's Zhejiang Geely Holding Group (Geely) in the years between 2007 to 2011, just prior to an after its acquisition of Volvo Car Corporation (VCC).

Abstract:
Abstract Industrial enterprises see themselves confronted with a complexity of products and production processes, which became almost uncontrollable. Individualization and globalization of the demand will continue to increase, so that the existing variety of the product variants presumably cannot be reduced significantly. Attainable are however a strong weakening of the variety increase and a reduction of the internal complexity. Results from numerous analysis projects in the automobile industry show that substantial potentials (on the average 64%) for the reduction of the complexity are present in areas without impact on the degree of fulfillment of customer requirements (engine, axles, raw body, etc.). Even higher potentials are realizable by an intensive cooperation between manufacturers and suppliers. This paper introduces the Variant Mode and Effects Analysis (VMEA), which is a proven method to reduce the number of variants and, therefore, the complexity and complexity-related costs throughout the whole development and manufacturing processes. The method includes a systematic analysis of market requirements and a systematic assignment of market requirements to product functions, modules and parts, thereby enabling the user to develop a modularized, market-oriented product structure designed for meeting the market demands with the smallest number of product variants possible. The results presented in this paper were obtained in a series of twenty cooperation projects involving ten medium-sized German manufacturers of cars and automotive supplies, among them Audi AG, BMW AG, Volkswagen AG, Volvo and Micro Compact Car.

Abstract:
With an increasing number of and also more complex demands on today’s automobiles the need for fast and accurate simulations to support the Engineering Design (ED) process is getting more important. The demands that are put on the automotive designs are often contradictory i.e. weight against stiffness, and no one optimal set of solutions can be found, rather a trade-off situation. At Volvo Cars Corporation, known all over the world for their safety policy, the advancement to more high strength materials is causing new problems for the engineers. As widely known, a steel material that has been exposed to plastic deformation will suffer hardening in those areas. The work in this paper, exemplified in a deployed demonstrator, show that it is possible to combine forming and crashworthiness simulations in an automated way to make advanced simulation accessible to more people in the product development process. The Knowledge Enabled Engineering (KEE) demonstrator combines forming and crashworthiness simulations for dealing with the constant trade-off in ED.

Abstract:
The European AGATA programme (Advanced Gas Turbine for Automobiles), is a programme dedicated to the development of three critical ceramic components — a catalytic combustor, a radial turbine wheel and a static heat exchanger — for a 60 kW turbogenerator in a hybrid electric vehicle. These three components, which are of critical importance to the achievement of low emissions and high efficiency, have been designed, developed, manufactured and tested as part of a full-scale feasibility study. The AGATA partners represent car manufacturers as well as companies and research institutes in the turbine, catalyst and ceramic material fields in both France and Sweden. The AGATA project commenced in early 1993 and has occupied a 5-year period until April 1998. This paper summarises the results from the development of the catalytic combustor. The catalytic combustor operates at temperatures in the catalytic section from inlet 935°C to the exhaust 1350°C. Therefore all structural components in the hot section are made of ceramic materials. The testing and validation have been run through a component test campaign from which it was concluded that: • The catalytic section substrates showed good behaviour during the high temperature tests. • Palladium was chosen as the active catalytic material after extensive testing at pilot scale. Ageing at high temperature (1270°C) has a strong effect on catalyst deactivation. • Emissions levels of the preheater are in agreement with the state of the an for small aero-engines according to the ICAO legislation. The complete full scale combustor testing was run in the following steps: • Initial gas analysis tests at inlet temperature 200° lower than the nominal value • CARS and gas analysis • Comparison diesel and ethanol fuels • Final testing at maximum design temperatures and pressure The catalytic combustor was run on diesel fuel during the complete test period. A test campaign comparing exhaust emissions when running on ethanol fuel was performed at Volvo Aero Turbines. These results showed that the catalyst reaction rate and CO/HC/NOx emissions were similar. This means that the chosen catalytic combustor can be used as a dual fuel combustor diesel/ethanol. The final test campaign at ONERA, France, was run up to temperatures slightly above the specified maximum design temperatures. Inlet temperature 962°C (design 935°C) and exhaust temperature 1362°C (design 1350°C). These tests showed that NOx emission levels below 4 ppm @15% O2 were obtained when low CO and HC emissions levels were measured at full load conditions. This promising performance level was reached with technologies that still have to be thoroughly evaluated in terms of durability and low cost potential for industrial applications.
