Abstract
China based Chery Automobile is one of the top ten car manufacturers and the leading exporter of cars in the country. Started as an automotive company by the Wuhu government in 1997, Chery designed engines for cars. After finding no buyers for its engines, it decided to build its own car. Chery entered into tie-up with another automotive company which had license to sell cars to retail customers in China. After obtaining its own license, Chery implemented a four-phase strategy to develop its technical strengths. Chery started exporting cars as early as 2001 and became the largest exporter of cars among the Chinese car companies. Chery expanded globally to have its presence in over 70 countries by 2009.
