    The net income of Hyundai Motors from the year 2011 to 2015, had increased during the year 2012 to 2013 at the rate of 11.62 % and fell drastically in the subsequent year 2014 by 34.5% indicating the company’s bottom line performance and profitability position. Jurevicius (2016, online) highlights the reasons for the increase in Hyundai’s revenue in the last 3 years, however, the profit had gone down to a significant proportion which was due to poorly managed operations of the company. The decline of the company’s profit margin had also lead to inefficient company’s management and poor top management’s decisions.
