Toyota suffered a recall crisis in 2010 due to "unintended acceleration" and the company recalled 2.3 million of its sold vehicles and was fined by NHTSA and had to pay 16.4 US$ to avoid legal-dispute (Toyota, 2010).
As a result of this vehicles' recall incident, the automaker's US market-share tumbled from a market leader in 2009 to sit in third-place behind Ford and GM (Smith-Bingham, 2014) and Toyota faced uncertainty and complexity circumstances that adversely affected its global operations (Pearson & Clair, 1998).

The increased cash hoarding in both Japan and Korea drove their economies into the liquidity trap... more The increased cash hoarding in both Japan and Korea drove their economies into the liquidity trap.
The cash hoarding refers to the huge amount of the available money that is held for the purpose of facilitation of future business or fulfillment of financial commitments (Investopedia, 2017) and it is also deemed attractive for corporate seeking to make acquisition (Qfinance, 2017).
The concept of liquidity trap was first introduced by Keynes and it can be explained as "a situation in which monetary policy cannot stimulate the economy — the “trap” part — possibly because interest rates have already been pushed to zero. They have been at zero or close to it since December 2008. Amore precise definition of a liquidity trap is a situation in which people have a virtually endless demand to hold cash — an endless demand for liquidity — relative to other assets" (Haltom, 2012).
For the Japanese case, the changing the money supply has no effect on the interest rate, while the money demand remains constant, where the interest rate remained at 0% from 2012 to 2015 and even the rate declined to +0.1% in 2016 and according to Trading Economics (2017), the Bank of Japan (BoJ) kept the interest rate stable at -0.1% in Jan 2017.
For the South Korea case, it is relatively different from the Japan case, as the country is at the beginning of the liquidity trap and it obvious that the interest rate has run down to less than 2% since the year 2014, and according to Trading Economics (2017), the monetary policy committee of South Korea kept its base rate stable for eighteen straight months at a low level of 1.25%.
It was obvious that the liquidity trap situation will have negative implications on the business expectations and hinder exploring any potential opportunity for investment as the interest rate in both Japan and South Korea remain at low levels, inadequate effective demand, unemployment and that the business downturns led the private sector organisations to downturn the forecasting on investments' returns and consequently led to bad expectations.
The cash hoarding will be the preferred option, where companies, banks, individuals and financial organisations save the money instead of investing and thus collapsing in investment demand schedule as the long-term interest rate is at very low level (Sutch, 2009).
The cash hoardings increased in Japan case and the level of interest rate was very close to zero, which led to the liquidity trap situation.
Keeping the interest rate very low and close to zero will destroy any governmental effort to stimulate the economy as the economy and lack of demand on borrowings will have significant influences in deflation, lowering the production and reducing the consumption, therefore the government should create a situation to reduce cash hoarding via encourage the private sector organisation to invest in long term bonds and the government can accelerate the economic growth by investing directly in private sector business and projects (Learning Markets, 2012).
