dc.description.abstractIn many ways, the Czech Republic automotive industry has been and is one of the most productive and successful in the world. Hyundai Motor Corporation (HMC) is one of the largest and most successful auto manufacturers in the world. This paper seeks to explore these two phenomena in greater detail with particular focus on their newfound relationship and its environmental implications based on Hyundai’s entry into the Czech auto manufacturing market in 2006. More specifically, this paper first provides an overview of the history and current state of the Czech Republic and Czech Economy, focusing on environmental concerns and challenges. Next, it discusses the Czech automotive industry with an emphasis on the domestic superpower Škoda Auto. What follows is a brief history of HMC and a detailed overview of Hyundai’s organizational structure on the global level as well as the structure of Czech subsidiary Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Czech (HMMC). Subsequent sections provide an in‐depth examination of HMMC’s plant, and a comparison of Hyundai and Škoda. Both of these sections focus on the impact Hyundai has had on the Czech automotive industry and on the Czech Republic more generally (again, with particular attention to environmental issues). Finally, this paper summarizes the information presented and explains with concision why Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Czech is an excellent example of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the Czech Republic – especially as the country battles to become more environmentally friendly and sustainable in one of its most important industries.
