  • Evaluating the Effect of US Domestic Content Requirements
    Cross-Border Markets: Evaluating the Effect of U.S. Domestic Content Requirements on the U.S.-Canada Economic Partnership WSHDC-RFP-004 September 15, 2017 Submitted by The Trade Partnership 1701 K Street, NW Suite 575 Washington, DC 20006 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This study examines the effeCt of U.S. domestiC Content requirements on the U.S.-Canada eConomiC partnership. We examine the impaCts by ConduCting in-depth interviews with offiCials at Companies with signifiCant Cross-border trade where domestiC Content requirements do (e.g., Buy America or Buy AmeriCan rules) or Could (e.g., proposed rule requiring U.S. steel in pipelines) shape supply chains. We also spoke to U.S. government agenCies whose proCurement is subjeCt to suCh rules. We found: U.S. domestic content requirements can impact U.S. companies by limiting sourcing options and increasing product costs, both of which negatively impact U.S. jobs and competitiveness. • Buy AmeriCa requirements Can prevent Companies from purChasing some inputs from preferred suppliers, even if few alternative U.S. suppliers exist. • Many U.S. manufaCturing jobs exist in spite, not beCause, of domestiC Content requirements. • DomestiC Content requirements Can Create additional ComplianCe Costs for Companies selling similar produCts to both CommerCial and federally funded projeCts. • Taking additional steps to Comply with domestiC Content requirements Can inCrease the priCe of goods signifiCantly without leading to a similar increase in U.S. jobs. Proposed domestic content changes that could prevent companies from sourcing from Canada would disrupt existing supply chains and harm many U.S. businesses, particularly in the short term.

Not only have the number of speeds increased, new types of transmissions and control strategies are coming to market. These include DCT, electrically assisted AMT, electrically assisted hybrid automatics, etc. Transmission experts on the panel will discuss new development trends, control and calibration strategies as well as provide a glimpse into the future for these new design trends.

  • FIAT SPA Case Study Copenhagen Business School
    MSc. in Economics and Business Administration Cand. merc. Strategy, Organization and Leadership “From International to Global” – FIAT S.P.A. case study Student: Marco Marinozzi 05/09/2014 Supervisor: Christer Karlsson Ph.D. Number of pages: 87 Number of characters: 237,861 Copenhagen Business School – 2014 1 Abstract We live in a World of uncertainty, where business cycles are shortening and competition is increasing, requiring companies and their strategies to be suitable to continuous changes and adaptations. Just like it happened in other sectors, the economic crisis Western economies have been experiencing in these years heavily influenced the Automotive Industry’s dynamics. The Car Industry is in fact strongly linked to the business cycles, as showed also by Haugh et al. (2010). The sector has always been characterized by a high intensity of rivalry, and such rivalry and increasing concentration will inevitably lead to a struggle for survival out of which only a few groups will emerge. The industry is capital intensive and with a high capital-to-labor ratio. In the past years production has been moving increasingly towards emerging countries particularly due to decentralization processes and outsourcing. The outsourcing phenomenon is also provoking shifts and changes along the industry’s value chain, with suppliers gaining more and more power. The saturation of traditional markets, accompanied with an overall negative business cycle, is pushing car- makers to look for new ways to sustain their production, currently affected by over-capacity problems in many regions of the World. Many Automotive Industry’s CEOs are aware of the fact that change has to take place within companies in order to face the Globalization of Markets, but the majority of them don’t believe such transformation should include activities like mergers, acquisitions or alliances, as showed by a study conducted by Price Waterhouse Cooper (2014).
