Hyundai-Kia Motors will establish a global business integrated operating environment by
innovating in-house IT business processes based on a high-performance cloud database. Hyundai

and Kia Motors announced the introduction of a high-performance cloud-based database of SAP
(Systems, Applications, and Products in Data Processing) to its enterprise resource planning
(ERP) system. ERP is a system that integrates and manages overall management activities such
as production, logistics, finance, accounting, sales, purchasing, and inventory in the enterprise,
and helps new information creation and quick decision making by sharing information generated
by companies (Lansbury, Kwon and Suh 2013). The associated risks make it vulnerable to
various attacks and a company like Hyundai Motors need to be careful and alert in case of any
data breaches taking place as that can affect the brand name of the company and decrease the
inbuilt trust among its customers. With the increasing use of Internet and social media along with
big data two way communications has become easy that raises probable problems. The sudden
increase in the quantity of data from numerous sources is also a problem and thus is vulnerable
to sniper attacks.
The key point is that the ERP database, which Hyundai and Kia Motors have started to introduce
in succession to business sites around the world starting this month in cooperation with SAP, is
based on an 'in-memory based cloud' approach. 'In-memory-based cloud' is an advanced
technology that does not store data in a physical data centre but stores it in a memory database
built in the cloud. This helps to establish and establish a quick and efficient decision-making
system of data base, and is used as a core infrastructure to become a smart mobility solution
provider beyond automobile manufacturers. The advanced ERP system will enable the
establishment of a global business management system that can manage all business areas from
merchandising, research, production, development, purchasing, production and sales (Boannews,
2019).

Part 2 It structure and emerging technologies – management issue
2.1 IT Infrastructure
Generally, there are seven major constituents in current modern IT infrastructures that must
interrelate to provide the firm including a coherent IT infrastructure. The Major technologies and
suppliers. IT infrastructure Ecosystem contains Consulting system integration services, Internet
platforms, Networking/telecommunications platforms, Data management and storage, Enterprise
software applications, Computer hardware platforms and Operating system platforms (Laudon &
Laudon 2014b).
The supply chain management issues are to evolve ways to integrate supply chain activities
across organizations necessarily. Developed production planning and scheduling mechanism
among supply chain members.
2.2 Issues and challenges faced by Hyundai Motors in the management of its IT
Infrastructure
Hyundai motors have been one of the largest automobile company in the world. However, there
have been various issues faced by the company in the market related to the IT infrastructure. The
company has been facing dramatic challenges in the market. One of the major challenges faced
by the company has been due to globalization (Park and Park 2012). The global market has been
getting saturated due to the effect of the globalization in the market. Various global markets of
North America, Japan and Western Europe has been providing 90 percent of the total automobile
production all over the world. Therefore, these countries have been giant in the automobile
industries. Hyundai has been suffering to capitalize these markets due to saturation in the market.

HYUNDAI MOTOR STRATEGY
Various government policies have been strict in many international markets. The economy and
revenue of Hyundai motor have been fluctuating in the market due to the globalization. As
commented by Hwang et al. (2016), globalization has been neither cheap nr easy along with
value chain. Emerging market customers have been increasing and demand of same quality level
of cars are increasing in the market. This has been creating major issues in the company. The
demand of cars have been increasing which are at same cost and features. Therefore, customers
are getting other options for purchasing cars u ti the globalization. The sales of the company has
been getting down due to this. Another major issues have been product differentiation. As
suggested by Sung et al. (2012), increase in the competition in the automobile market has been
creating issues for IT infrastructure of the company. The market analysis of the company has not
been done properly. The information system of Hyundai motors have been getting outdated as
there has been influence of new information systems. The differentiation in the product types
have been increasing options for customers to switch to different companies.
2.3 Emerging technologies
As commented by Kale (2017), one of the emerging technologies that can be used in the
Hyundai Motors is Big data. With reference to analysis, big data analyzes on the huge sets of
data in order to identify the patterns so that social, economic, legal and technical claims can be
made. Mythology in this case deals with the widespread concept that the huge data sets provide a
higher form of intelligence and knowledge which generate insights previously not possible, with
accuracy, the aura of truth and objectivity. One of the technologies in the automobile industry
might be driverless cars. This technology has been new in the market. This might help the
company to increase their technological advances in the automobile industry. The self-driving
cars have been helping in maintaining a keen approach in the dependency of the market. As per

12
HYUNDAI MOTOR STRATEGY
the research Brondoni (2014), Big Data consists of four dimensions namely Volume, Velocity,
Variety and Veracity. It consists of velocity of high volume and variety of information assets that
require cost effective form of innovations dealing with processing of information for the purpose
of enhancing insight and decision making.
2.4 Issues an challenges in managing the IT infrastructure with emerging
technologies
There have been various issues with the self-driving cars in the company. The self-driving cars
have been driverless cars that has been a new technology in the market. However, there might be
cyber-attacks in the database of the self-driving cars which might led to accidents of vehicle.
The data loss has been main challenge in the self-driving technology (Steers 2013). It becomes
difficult for the program installed in the self-driving car to decide whether to stop or keep
moving. This might cause accidents of the car. With the various disadvantages Big Data poses a
threat to the privacy of the user’s data and in order to prevent this, effective algorithms are
required to encrypt data that is to conceal the raw data and make the increase the reliability and
integrity of Big Data.
Part 3: Big Data
3.1 Concept of big data
Big data is related to huge sets of data that are complex in nature and can be both structured and
unstructured that cannot be operated on by the traditional processing techniques or the
algorithms. Its main aim is to reveal the hidden patterns and has resulted in the transformation of
the model based science paradigm into data based science paradigm. As per the research done by
Menon and Raj (2012), Big Data is supported by technology, analysis and mythology.
