Abstract

After the Lehman Shock in 2008, the rules of the world economy have changed drastically. On the one hand, there is still a strong concern of double-dip, thought will ease their survey, in developed economies; on the other hand, basing on the faster recovery from the crisis, emerging economies have been set to become the main global growth engine. Although, there are also numbers of uncertainties about emerging economies, such as growing domestic inflation pressures or overheating pressures partly due to resurgent capital inflows, the exports to emerging economies and the movement of production relocation in emerging economies have been spurred globally.<br>The same change also can be observed in Chinese auto market. In 2010, China's auto sales grow up 32% to hit 18.06 million and refreshed the world sales record hit by the U.S. market as 17 million. Therefor, China is expected to be the world's largest automotive market with hypercompetition across each segment. Actually, however, we can find a meaningful phenomenon that in last 10 years, most of the so-called succeed automakers, such as Volkswagen or Hyundai even General Motors, has suffered sluggish sales in China and recovered through a series of organizational transformations in local management. These cases give us an elementary understanding on how important that to lead corporate to grow by adapting to the comprtitive environment in emerging markets.<br>In this paper, we focus on Independent Chinese Auto Manufacturers, from the same viewing point which to achieve the growth by adapting to the comprtitive environment. We try to clarify the relationship between their growth and a series of organizational transformations they made in their management. In this preliminary exploration, we will give more attention to their subjects about succession on organizational capabilities.
