Abstract

This chapter looks at the evolution of the automotive industry and the impacts that changes in the industry are having on four car-producing regions. In each case, the regions are struggling with the impact of restructuring of the global car industry but also striving to build on the technological and innovative capacities that the regions have acquired over time as leaders in a dynamic technologydriven industry.
