Entry of foreign players in the mid-80 s through joint ventures Cut throat competition: styling, price and fuel efficiency Increase in significance of technological expertise Huge opportunity due to low penetration for the two wheelers in India (10%, late 90 s) Demand drivers: Urbanization, saturation of cities, inadequate roads, expensive four wheelers Motorcycle was the fastest growing segment in two-wheelers (22% CAGR, 1996-2001)

1995: Significant renegotiations in terms and conditions; in favor of Hero Significant slash in royalty from 4% to 0.5% Honda agreed for greater sharing of its R&D and product suites HMC agreed to increase extent of components and subassemblies purchased from Hero s suppliers Honda lacked an understanding of the Indian consumers and also lacked a proper supply chain Regulatory restrictions made it mandatory for foreign players to enter through a JV with local player

No indigenous R&D expertise at present Competitors will take advantage of their international associations  Bajaj spends 12 times more on R&D  Others will market their international brand associations Quality support functions can take a setback as Honda always provided it Honda will become the new Hero
Hero needs to defer the break-up till it develops independent R&D and quality support

Carrot

Stick

Upward revision of royalties Allow Honda to leverage Hero s distribution network and unique supply chain for its scooter business

Enter into strategic alliances with players in the scooter segment like Piaggio  Honda will be pressurized in its own prized segment in India  Build long term independent capabilities (CAGR scooter: ~23%, 2004-2010)

Enter the African market starting with Nigeria (the largest twowheeler market in Africa, at around 1.5 million units a year)

Get into countries which lacks a public transport system like Russia, Pakistan, Mexico
