Toyota's Corporate Structure: The potential privatization of Toyota Industries highlights the intricate and dynastic nature of the Toyota group, which is deeply influenced by the Toyoda family, particularly Akio Toyoda, who has played a significant role in shaping the company's direction.
Future Restructuring Plans: Analysts suggest that to achieve its goal of becoming a "Mobility Company," Toyota may need to restructure or divest certain subsidiaries, especially those tied to traditional internal combustion engines, indicating a shift towards a more centralized corporate structure.
