Abstract
This case expounds on how Global Technology was established as a supplier in the upstream automotive industry chain and how it competed in a monopolistic market – the Chinese chassis-by-wire market with high technical barriers to entry and already dominant players such as Bosch and Continental enjoying combined share over 90%. It turned out that Global Technology, which epitomized the many tech firms aiming to produce local substitutes, managed to gain a market footing.
The case first provides information about the automotive chassis-by-wire industry, ranging from relevant policies and technologies to market size and competitive landscape. It introduces the histories and businesses of major international giants, providing a glimpse into the market environment in which Global Technology was operating. The case also describes the founder Liu Zhaoyong's work experiences and motivations for entrepreneurship and explains why Liu entered the chassis-by-wire arena long dominated by international giants. It then illustrates how Global Technology progressed from 0 to 1 by creating great products to gain customer trust. It ends with a question on the company's current challenge: How should Global Technology compete with established giants in the future?
