Editor's Notes
- Cummins Inc reported a 19.2 B USD revenue and 1.61 B USD profit in 2014.
- Various market entry modes
- Cummins phased chinese market entry
- How cummins used same approach in other emerging markets and its success with the same.
- Higher investments need a central local pool to manage resources. Cummins needed a consolidated Cummins China office to kick-start its greenfield investment in 1997.

- By 1997 Cummins had a very complex organisational hierachy in china which would delay decision making and also confuse partners as to where to look for answers.
- Apple popularized the use of service centers as poles to reach out to customers and give them a demarcating experience.
- Challenges faced by Cummins was different in local market. In local market competition was OEMs and Caterpillar who competed with Cummins on the technology front.

- Voltas can use the same approach to gain market entry in north africa through a mix of the approaches mentioned above.
- Cummins used its learning in Market entry to a great avail in other emerging markets and later in Africa.

- A market like china which is populated and controlled by powerful government and state companies, negotiation ability with government is a priority requirement for any leader.
- Cummins Chins future looks bright in near term and clouded in long term. Exit of long term competitor, Caterpillar and lack of big engine manufacturers gives Cummins an opportunity to expand. Also the impending implementation of Euro 6 equivalent emission standard gives Cummins a leg up as competitors lack the technology is high capacity engine segments. Also the fruitition of 700 B USD government stimulus is expected to create new demand as new highways move more goods to the roads. But on the long term, advancing technology and sustainable practices are expected to reduce goods movement by trucks and this is expected to affect the business. Also worrying is Cummins deep focus on diesel engines and lack of technical capability in high growing electrical engine segment.
