The automotive industry is still one of the world's largest
manufacturing sectors, but it suffers from being very
technology-focused as well as being relatively short-term focused.
There is little emphasis within the industry and its consultancy and
analyst supply network on the broader social and economic impacts of
automobility and of the sector that provides it. The Global Automotive
Industry addresses this need and is a first port of call for any
academic, official or consultant wanting an overview of the state of
the industry. An international team of specialist researchers, both
from academia and business, review and analyse the key issues that
make vehicle manufacturing still the world’s premier manufacturing
sector, closely tied in with the fortunes of both established and
newly emerging economies. In doing so, it covers issues related to
manufacturing, both established practices as well as new developments;
issues relating to distribution, marketing and retail, vehicle
technologies and regulatory trends; and, crucially, labour practices
and the people who build cars. In all this it explains both how the
current situation arose and also likely future trajectories both in
terms of social and regulatory trends, as the technological, marketing
and labour practice responses to those, leading in many cases to the
development of new business models. Key features Provides a global
overview of the automotive industry, covering its current state and
considering future challenges Contains contributions from
international specialists in the automotive sector Presents current
research and sets this in an historical and broader industry context
Covers threats to the industry, including globalization, economic and
environmental sustainability The Global Automotive Industry is a
must-have reference for researchers and practitioners in the
automotive industry and is an excellent source of information for
business schools, governments, and graduate and undergraduate students
in automotive engineering.
