In this twelfth chapter of his book “How Toyota Became #1: Leaderships Lessons from the World’s Greatest Car Company”, David Magee recounts the story of Toyota’s transformation from a Japanese company to a truly global corporation.
Although Toyota had endeavored to sell cars throughout the world, it was only when they built manufacturing facilities in North America, Europe, Brazil and China that they established an interlocking system of local and regional presences throughout the world.
