Berapa Poin pentingnya di sini :
* Fearing GM may try to poach its dealers, Toyota-Astra Motor - a sales joint venture between the Japanese auto giant and Indonesian conglomerate PT Astra International - last year asked many of its more than 260 dealers to sign loyalty pledges. Daihatsu-Astra Motor, a joint venture between Daihatsu and Astra, resorted to a similar initiative.
Toyota and its group companies in turn pledged to spend an additional $1.2 billion in manufacturing capacity and other capital investments in Indonesia. That's the carrot. As a stick, the Toyota team threatened to revoke the franchises of any dealer who does business with GM or other competitors.
* Astra executives in charge of the Indonesian Toyota and Daihatsu units say last year they asked their dealers to swear loyalty to Astra and Toyota Group - in some cases with signed agreements.
Those agreements gave "amnesty" for any past roles as dealers of non-Toyota Group brands, but "we asked them to be loyal," says Johnny Darmawan, head of Toyota-Astra Motor.
"Competition was not so bad before, but now we have very tough competition from newcomers like GM."
Violators could lose their stores, Darmawan warned. "Going forward, I don't want to see any more defections. If we find out anybody is being disloyal, we reserve the right to revoke his contract," he says.
Yang nggak ngerti bahasa Inggris, intinya kisah di atas adalah, toyota / daihatsu dan group astra ancam pebisnis yang sudah jual mobil mereka, jika mereka ingin expansi usaha mereka dengan kerja sama ama merek mobil lain, seperti hal yang biasa di luar negeri, toyota / daihatsu astra ancam akan hentikan pasokan mobil ke mereka dan putus hubungan bisnis.
Wah ! Di dunia bisnis di Indonesia ternyata bisa pakai cara gini ya ? Karena di luar negeri setau ane tidak boleh dan termasuk pelanggaran berat!!!
