ANNUAL REPORT 2013
Clarifying responsibility for operations and
earnings while accelerating decision making
Toyota has split its automotive business into four units
comprising Lexus International, which covers our Lexus
brand; Toyota No. 1, which oversees operations in North
America, Europe, and Japan; Toyota No. 2, which is
responsible for business in China, Asia & the Middle East,
East Asia & Oceania, Africa, and Latin America & the
Caribbean; and the Unit Center, which covers all unit-
related operations. This more agile and autonomous
management structure will enable us to clarify responsibil-
ity for operations and earnings, and will allow managers in
the fi eld to make decisions more quickly based on genchi
genbutsu (on-site, hands-on experience). Recognizing that
innovation is required in order to establish Lexus as a
Japanese global luxury brand, the president has taken the
reins of the newly formed Lexus International unit.
Launching a New Structure to Help Fulfi ll the Toyota Global Vision
In April 2013, Toyota optimized its organizational structure in an effort to better fulfi ll the Toyota Global Vision by manufacturing ever-better
cars. Together with the four newly established units encompassing our automotive operations, the TNGA Planning Division will be respon-
sible for driving medium- to long-term technology-based product strategies under TNGA, while the Product and Business Planning Division
will focus on generating market-based product and business strategies.
