2. Literature Review
2.1 Introduction
The literature review of this research will contain different elements in order to give a full in depth review into the Chinese automobile industry’s development and the Volkswagen Group (VW) in particular. The role of Government and the Open Door Policy, foreign direct investment (FDI) from VW, Resource-based Theory are the main issues that will be discussed in the following chapter. I have chosen these elements because they are essentials factors to the Chinese automobile industry. Regarding the role of the government, the government has been heavily influential in the development of the automobile industry all around the world (Zhaotao, 2015). Good examples of Asian government manipulating the

2.2 The role of the Government and Open Door Policy
Deng Xiaoping set in prepare the change of China 's economy when he declared a new Open Door Policy in December 1978. Mr. Deng understood that China required Western technology, innovation and investment, therefore he opened the path for outside organisations who needed to set up in China (News.bbc.co.uk, n.d.). At first, four Special Economic Zones (SEZs) were farmed in South China with tax incentives to draw in outside speculation into the nation.
As the nation is a developing economy, the government has to play a critical role to guide and control the nation (Nove and Gerschenkron, 1963). For instance, the part of government in enhancing general financial and social welfare ought not be expelled or belittled, even in developed, mature economies (Reich, 1989). Developing markets are countries that are investing in more productive capacity. They are moving far from their conventional economies that have depended on agribusiness and the export of raw materials. Leaders of developing countries want to create a better quality of life for the citizens. Subsequently, they are rapidly industrialising and embracing a free market or mixed economy (Amadeo, 2016). Developing economies frequently seek to restructure their economies along market-oriented lines and offer a wealth of opportunities in trade, technology transfers, and FDI (Heakal, 2015). Emerging markets are important because they drive growth in the
What are the SEZs in China? Has this policy had an effect on China (what effect), other parts of the world (for example), and if so,
This moved gradually increased agricultural production, increased the living standards of hundreds of millions of farmers and stimulated the rural industry (Brandt, 2008). Reforms were also put in place in the urban industry to increase the waning productivity. A dual price system was also introduced, wherein state-owned industries were allowed to sell any production above the plan quota, and commodities were sold at both plan and market prices, which then allowed citizens to avoid the shortages of the Maoist era. Private businesses were also allowed to operate for the first time since the Communist takeover, and they gradually began to make up a greater percentage of industrial output (Brandt, 2008). Price flexibility was also increased, in turn, expanding the service sector (Brandt, 2008). During this time period, China was also opened to foreign investment for the first time since the Kuomintang era. It was during this time that Deng created a series of special economic zones for foreign investment that were relatively free of the bureaucratic regulations and interventions that had hampered economic growth for so long until this time. These regions became the engines of growth for the national economy (Brandt, 2008).
Globalisation has lead to the development of SEZ’s along with Deng’s Open Door policy. Globalisation has given these SEZ’s both advantages and disadvantages and has lead to rapid economic growth but often compromised on the Chinese people.
When Deng Xiaoping took control of China, he recognized that the economy was collapsing, and that his people were worried about class, especially how quickly the upper-class was growing, so he came up with a plan. He was going to open up the country to foreign investors, “But Deng himself undermined the process with his famous call to let ‘some get rich first’ . In practice this meant giving priority to the coast...Private enterprise
In 1971, The People’s Republic of China established their first free enterprise zone, or as they call it “special economic zones”. China’s purpose was not so much based on the advantage of creating more jobs, but instead was
Feeling this was not enough to boost the economic up, Deng loaned money from IMF and the World Bank “to upgrade machinery and establish new manufacturing and industrial development” (Benson, 48). He opened a total of five towns and villages as SEZs and allowed foreign investors to build factories and hire Chinese to work for them. It might not be the best way to reform the economic as a whole, but it played an important role because it benefited the Chinese workers, the investors, and the Chinese government. During the 1980s, Deng promoted the “open door” policy to encourage foreign investment and to trade with the world. China needed larger quantities of raw materials to fuel its industrial growth so they signed contracts for minerals, timer, and so forth. It had not only provided China with raw materials that were needed, but also improved the relations with other neighbor counties and the US.
China’s economy has been largely influenced by political activities before the 1990s. Several economic reforms had already been put in to place since 1978 but the defining change was only triggered in 1992 with the speech by Mr. Deng Xiaoping, where he affirmed the nation of their shift towards a market-oriented system (Chen, Quan, & Liu, 2013).
Teachers in the United States are facing a new challenge. According to Capps (2007), at the time of the 2000 census, there were 3 million foreign born children in the United States and one fifth of the students in public schools were children of immigrants. This trend is expected to continue and even increase. In 2004, approximately 11% of the student population was identified as English language learners. This is a 60% increase from 1994 (Conger, 2008). Immigration has always been part of the United States, however, the new influx of immigrants brings with it new challenges. The latest wave of immigrants bring with them not only language differences, but they also bring with them religious and
Increasing globalization in the automotive industry is changing the way of traditional partnerships. Ten years ago, it was questionable to pursue business in markets such as India and China because political and business conditions were not conducive to direct foreign investment (Emerging Markets, Emerging Opportunities, 2012).As a result, many automotive
* Political/Legal: The political portion of the general environment is often overlooked because businesses and people alike think that it is enough to follow the laws and abide by regulations set forth by the government. This is incorrect. Many automobile companies such as Chrysler operate in foreign countries and look to export their products to foreign countries as well. The laws and regulations in these foreign countries have to be navigated and understood just as precisely as those in the home country. In the case of Chrysler, when it was acquired by Daimler-Benz, the company had to develop a whole new outlook on its business practices. Taxation policies had to be revamped polices on the export, import, and manufacturer of
The Chinese country was primarily a farming nation until 1978, when the government took drastic measures to bolster the economy and decentralize state sectors. Before 1978, the chinese government worked on a command model, where the government was responsible for for managing the economy. It wasn 't until Deng Xiaoping, a capitalist who introduced new principles into the economy, that these drastic changes occurred. With the new capitalistic ideals, the Chinese government saw extraordinary growth within their economy. The economy has averaged a 10 percent growth in GDP over the last several decades. Their market has grown from 168 billion in 1978, to about 8 trillion. Xiaoping did this by making state governed sectors more independent. They adopted some of the more western ideas like laissez-faire, or an attitude of letting businesses operate without interference. Many of the state owned sectors became private enterprises which grew rapidly under a competitive environment. Banks were also split up which allowed them to grow quickly while also reducing risk to the economy. In 2011, the Chinese government decided that they needed to implement new reforms. Known as the 12th five-year year plan, the government wants to focus more on domestic consumption so they can be less dependent on exports.
The government of developing economy will act of levying tariffs on imported goods industries which it wants to foster growth (Caistri, 2009)

Additionally, if we take a look at some of the third world countries, which are still in the process of an economic development, we find that due to the lack of proper government interference, there are still having several impediments that could help them substantially in order to achieve greater employment opportunities for each and every of their citizens such as, for example; the lack of women’s economic opportunities in the Middle East, as well as the barriers and restrictions that women encounter on gender-based job in Asia, in which are frequently confining them to low-paying activities, more often than not in the informal sector (Gonzalez, 2015). As a result, due to the improper interference of their governments in the subject matter, certainly, a nation’s success is left behind and will eventually lack proper growth.
From a producer 's point of view it is helpful to plan and incite a set scope of transformer sizes. Usually, the terminal voltages, VA rating and frequency are assigned. These specifications decide the materials to be utilized and their measurements. This way to deal with transformer outline has been used and displayed in point of interest in standard course book. It has been used as an outline execute for enlightening college classes at universities., it has been utilized widely as a part of outlining transformers for exchanged mode power supplies. Nonetheless, by outlining to evaluated details, thought is not unequivocally given to what materials and sizes are really accessible. Coreand winding material suppliers offer inventories of favored sizes, especially so for littler rating gadgets. This mirrors the supplier 's assembling abilities in expulsion, rolling and shaping devices and gear. It is not monetary to offer clients any size and shape they require. It is conceivable that a specialist, having planned a transformer, may then locate the material sizes don 't exist. The specialist may then be compelled to utilize accessible materials and hence the execution of the genuine transformer that is fabricated is prone to be essentially unique in relation to that of the outline counts. Because of troubles in assessing genuine winding measurements, the spillage reactance specifically may not be computed effectively. The leakage
