Abstract

In this paper, we analyze the Hyundai Motor Group s newly evolved-production structure to illustrate the evolution of a corporate system. Specifically, we explore why Hyundai Motor Group s domestic-oriented production structure could be maintained until the more recent history of Korea s domestic automobile market. Our findings show that since 2012, the Hyundai Motor Group s production structure which has been affected by internal and external factors in the automobile market has transformed from a domestic-oriented production structure to an overseas-oriented production structure. Our findings further demonstrate that both technical factors embedded in the Hyundai Motor Group s production system and non-technical factors that strive to equate the production conditions in the Group s foreign and domestic facilities support the smooth operation of the overseas-oriented production structure.
