  • The Stagflation Crisis and the European Automotive Industry, 1973-85
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Diposit Digital de la Universitat de Barcelona The stagflation crisis and the European automotive industry, 1973-85 Jordi Catalan (Universitat de Barcelona) The dissemination of Fordist techniques in Western Europe during the golden age of capitalism led to terrific rates of auto production growth and massive motorization. However, since the late 1960s this process showed signs of exhaustion because demand from the lowest segments began to stagnate. Moreover, during the seventies, the intensification of labour conflicts, the multiplication of oil prices and the strengthened competitiveness of Japanese rivals in the world market significantly squeezed profits of European car assemblers. Key companies from the main producer countries, such as British Leyland, FIAT, Renault and SEAT, recorded huge losses and were forced to restructure. The degree of success in coping with the stagflation crisis depended on two groups of factors. On the one hand, successful survival depended on strategies followed by the firms to promote economies of scale and scope, process and product innovation, related diversification, internationalization and, sometimes, changes of ownership. On the other hand, firms benefited from long-term path-dependent growth in their countries of origin’s industrial systems. Indeed, two of the main winners of the period, Toyota and Volkswagen, can rightly be seen as outstanding examples of Confucian and Rhine capitalism. Both types of coordinated capitalism contributed to the success of their main car assemblers during the stagflation slump. However, since then, global convergence with Anglo-Saxon capitalism may have eroded some of the institutional bases of their strength.

  • Evidence from the European Automotive Industry
    Network position, export patterns and competitiveness: evidence from the European automotive industry (Published on Competition and Change, vol 21(2): 132-158) Manuel Gracia [email protected] Mª José Paz [email protected] Abstract The organizational characteristics of production in the European automotive industry have favoured a high degree of fragmentation and productive mobility. This article analyses the differing national positions of automotive producing countries and their export patterns – particularly their export reorientation to extra-European Union (EU) markets following the collapse of regional demand in the European automotive industry. Based on the methodologies of Mahutga and Piana our position analysis arrives at two main conclusions: i) the countries best positioned in the European regional automotive production network are precisely those that have experienced a greater increase in extra- EU exports, thus reducing their dependence on regional European demand; ii) the increase in extra-EU exports (mainly of final goods) is linked to increased regional fragmentation of production in the automotive industry. We conclude that the governance of this fragmentation process is a key determinant of extra-EU export competitiveness. Keywords: production network; automotive industry; export pattern; Europe; internationalization of production JEL: L62, F15 1 Introduction Various studies have analysed the automotive industry and its high production fragmentation which is organized around increasingly globalized regional production areas such as the European Union (Dicken, 2003; Domanski and Lung, 2009; Frigant, and Layan, 2009; Jürgens and Krzywdzinsky, 2009; Frigant and Zumpe, 2014). Following this production fragmentation process the underlying global production network governance structures of leading companies in the industry (which determine what, where, and how goods will be produced) have created differentiated national producer country positions within these networks (Gereffi and Korzeniewics, 1994; Hess, 2008, Gibbon et al.
