Impact of Globalization on the Australian Automobile Industry Case of Ford Falcon
Munich Personal RePEc Archive Impact of Globalization on the Australian Automobile Industry case of Ford Falcon Molintas, Dominique Trual 11 December 2016 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/96622/ MPRA Paper No. 96622, posted 23 Oct 2019 12:27 UTC Figure 1 The Ford Model T was introduced by Henry Ford 1863-1947 In 1908, production of the car in Australia began in 1925 (Getty Images, 2013 ABC Net) Impact of Globalization on the Australian Automobile Industry case of Ford Falcon ABSTRACT Globalisation demand on productivity tells of an extreme competition and low profitability in the World Automobile Industry which blatantly opposes competitive equilibrium as it is highly regulated. Regulatory measures primarily in reference with trade and followed by ecological protection. Trade protectionism curtails the threat of substitution by way of import quotas and tariffs, administrative barriers and subsidies. Government subsidies have reached millions of dollars, Australia AUD1966M, Germany 1303M and 2908M in America. In the category of environment protection, the Energy and Conservation Act of 1975 costs roughly USD 2000 on compliance per manufactured unit. These aside the high cost on advertising, development research and labour unrest; dampen production locations burdened by overcapacity: Germany and Italy, France and Australia, USA and Japan. In a fragmented value chain stretching across multiple industries, manufacturers thinly spread as production entails specialty knowledge and expensive tools. No single company controlling enough market shares to influence world industry decisions that might induce radical industry transitions. Many outfits close shop over prolonged business slowdown. Death of 80 year old National Treasure Ford Falcon Territory 2016 is a decision to end all losses over the past five years for the amount of 600 million dollars with 23 percent coming off 2012 fiscal year.
